Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of implementation of pain neuroscience education and rehabilitation exercise on post-operative pain and recovery after laparoscopic colorectal surgery: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
To optimize the efficacy of analgesia and post-operative recovery for patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery by integrating a composite psycho-somatic analgesia algorithm involving peri-operative rehabilitation exercise and pain neuroscience education into multi-modal analgesia. ⋯ The addition of peri-operative rehabilitation exercise and pain neuroscience education into multi-modal analgesia provided better analgesic effect compared with routine practice for patients receiving laparoscopic colorectal surgery and also facilitated better post-operative recovery. This composite psycho-somatic algorithm for peri-operative analgesia merits further application in clinical practice.

Meta AnalysisPharmacologic interventions for the therapy of postanesthetic shivering in adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Shivering is a common side effect after general anesthesia. Risk factors are hypothermia, young age and postoperative pain. Severe complications of shivering are rare but can occur due to increased oxygen consumption. Previous systematic reviews are outdated and have summarized the evidence on the topic using only pairwise comparisons. The objective of this manuscript was a quantitative synthesis of evidence on pharmacological interventions to treat postanesthetic shivering. ⋯ Nefopam, tramadol, pethidine and clonidine are the most effective treatments to stop postanesthetic shivering. The efficacy of doxapram is uncertain since different doses showed contradictory effects and the evidence for methylphenidate is based on a single comparison in only one network. Furthermore, both lack data on side effects. Further studies are needed to clarify the efficacy of dexmedetomidine to treat postanesthetic shivering.
