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.

Observational Study
[Reducing the pain in invasive procedures during paediatric hospital admissions: Fiction, reality or virtual reality?]
Potentially painful invasive procedures are often performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in hospitalised paediatric patients. Approaches, such as virtual reality (VR), should be sought in order to minimise pain and anxiety during these procedures. ⋯ The use of VR can reduce pain and anxiety during invasive procedures in hospitalized children.
