Regional anesthesia and acute pain management in otolaryngology uses multimodal techniques for perioperative pain control. Multiple methods for regional anesthesia and acute pain management are discussed, including indications and techniques for decreasing perioperative opioid requirements and enhancing recovery.

Non-traumatic musculoskeletal pain in Western Australian hospital emergency departments: A clinical audit of the prevalence, management practices and evidence-to-practice gaps.
Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) conditions are a leading cause of morbidity worldwide and a common reason for ED presentation. Little is currently known about non-traumatic MSP (NTMSP) presenting to EDs. The present study described the prevalence and management practices of NTMSP in EDs. ⋯ NTMSP is a relatively common reason for ED presentation. Documented management practices are discordant with guideline recommendations. Strategies to improve the concordance between management and guideline recommendations are needed.

Meta Analysis
The efficacy of celecoxib for pain management of arthroscopy: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
The efficacy of celecoxib for pain management of arthroscopy remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess if celecoxib before the surgery decreases postoperative pain intensity of arthroscopy. ⋯ Celecoxib administered at 200 mg or 400 mg dosage before the surgery decreases postoperative pain intensity of arthroscopy.

The high incidence of pain associated with end-stage cancers indicates the need for a new approach to understanding how and why patients, caregivers, and clinicians make pain management choices. ⋯ As illustrated in the caring triad cases presented, this study moved the management approach of pain from a dichotomous realm of nurse-patient, to the more naturalistic realm for home hospice of nurse-patient-caregiver. In analyzing social processes within and across triad members, we identified categories of impact to target assessment, intervention, and education to improve pain outcomes.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of Benson Relaxation on the Intensity of Spinal Anesthesia-Induced Pain After Elective General and Urologic Surgery.
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Benson's muscle relaxation on postoperative spinal anesthesia-induced pain. ⋯ Benson's relaxation technique effectively influenced the intensity of postoperative spinal anesthesia-induced pain. Therefore, it can be used by nurses as a safe, simple, and inexpensive nonmedicinal treatment method to relieve spinal anesthesia-induced pain.
