Randomized Controlled Trial
Impacts of low-energy extracorporeal shockwave therapy on pain, pruritus, and health-related quality of life in patients with burn: A randomized placebo-controlled study.
The management of post-burn pain and pruritus remain a potent challenge because of their bad effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the impacts of low-energy extracorporeal shockwave therapy (low-energy ESWT) in the management of pain, pruritus, and HRQOL in patients with burn. ⋯ The findings suggest that low-energy ESWT with traditional regular physical therapy may relive post-burn pain and pruritus, and improve HRQOL, particularly in adult patients with burn.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyPain management after total hip arthroplasty at five different Danish hospitals: A prospective, observational cohort study of 501 patients.
The available literature does not present a "gold standard" for post-operative pain treatment after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this prospective observational study was to explore and document post-operative pain treatment, including outcomes, in a large cohort of patients undergoing THA at five different Danish hospitals. ⋯ Analgesic treatment routines differed between hospitals. Pain levels, however, did not differ substantially and were in general low at rest and moderate during mobilisation. No non-opioid analgesic treatment demonstrated consistent analgesic superiority.
