Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block and early postoperative analgesia after total hip arthroplasty: a randomised controlled trial.
Hip replacement surgery can be painful; postoperative analgesia is crucial for comfort and to facilitate recovery. Regional anaesthesia can reduce pain and postoperative opioid requirements. The role of ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca block for analgesia after elective total hip arthroplasty is not well defined. This randomised trial evaluated its analgesic efficacy. ⋯ gov (NCT03069183).

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve block compared with IV opioids in hip injuries: A randomised controlled trial.
The study aimed to compare the analgesic effect of USG-guided PENG (Peri capsular nerve group) block with Intravenous Nalbuphine hydrochloride (IVN) in patients with hip fracture coming to the emergency department (ED). The purpose was also to monitor the adverse effects and rescue analgesic requirements in both treatment modalities. ⋯ The study provides evidence that the ultrasound-guided PENG block has a better analgesic effect and has fewer adverse events than IV opioids in patients with HF.

Randomized Controlled TrialAdding Ketamine to Epidural Morphine Does Not Prolong Postoperative Analgesia After Lumbar Laminectomy or Discectomy.
Epidural opioids provide effective postoperative analgesia after lumbar spine surgery. Ketamine has been shown to reduce opioid-induced central sensitization and hyperalgesia. We hypothesized that adding ketamine to epidural opioids would prolong the duration of analgesia and enhance analgesic efficacy after lumbar spine surgery. ⋯ The addition of ketamine to epidural morphine did not prolong the duration of analgesia after lumbar laminectomy.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of patient-controlled analgesia on development of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing microvascular decompression: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) occurs frequently after microvascular decompression (MVD). Fentanyl, an opioid, is strongly related to the development of PONV, and ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has been approved for postoperative pain management. However, how ketorolac-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) causes PONV or how its efficacy differs from that of fentanyl-based PCA after MVD is unclear. In this study, the authors compared ketorolac-based with fentanyl-based PCA in terms of the incidence and severity of PONV and analgesia after MVD. ⋯ In patients with MVD, ketorolac-based PCA resulted in a decrease in PONV incidence and severity compared with fentanyl-based PCA, with analgesic effects similar to those of fentanyl-based PCA. This study provides clinical evidence that ketorolac-based PCA may be a valid alternative to fentanyl-based PCA in postoperative care.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The efficacy of lumbar erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia management in patients undergoing lumbar unilateral bi-portal endoscopic surgery: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
The efficacy and reliability of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in posterior open lumbar spine surgery has been demonstrated; however, few randomized controlled trials of lumbar ESPB (L-ESPB) in lumbar unilateral bi-portal endoscopic (UBE) surgery have been reported. ⋯ US-guided L-ESPB reduces intraoperative and 24 h postoperative opioid consumption and improves patients' QoR-15 scores at 24 h postoperatively. L-ESPB can be safely and effectively utilized in lumbar UBE surgery.
