Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
A Prospective, Multi-Center, Clinical Trial of 10 kHz Spinal Cord Stimulation System in the Treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain.
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a debilitating condition that often leads to disability and does not respond to conventional treatments. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of paresthesia-independent 10-kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in subjects with CPP. ⋯ Paresthesia-independent stimulation with 10-kHz SCS reduced pelvic pain in subjects with CPP and was not associated with any unexpected AEs. While larger, controlled studies are needed, results of this study suggest that this therapeutic modality could potentially treat patients with CPP while improving their quality of life.

Meta AnalysisEfficacy of Nonoperative Treatments for Lateral Epicondylitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Lateral epicondylitis is a common overuse injury affecting approximately 1 to 3 percent of the population. Although symptoms may disappear spontaneously within 1 year, the clinical guidelines for conservative treatment are not clear. The authors' objective was to examine the outcomes of nonsurgical treatments for lateral epicondylitis through a meta-analysis and provide a treatment recommendation using the available evidence. ⋯ Therapeutic, I.

The Effect of a Cartoon and an Information Video About Intravenous Insertion on Pain and Fear in Children Aged 6 to 12 Years in the Pediatric Emergency Unit: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Intravenous insertion is the most common invasive procedure made for administering intravascular fluid and medicine. Peripheral venous catheterization may cause pain, fear, and stress in children. This study aimed to compare the effects of watching a cartoon and an information video about intravenous insertion on the pain and fear levels of children aged 6-12 years. ⋯ This study showed that watching an animation video or a cartoon was effective in lowering children's perceived level of pain and fear during an intravenous insertion intervention.

The Effect of the Consent Process on Patient Satisfaction With Pain Management: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
We aim to determine whether the timing and context of informed consent affects the subjective outcome of patient satisfaction with pain management. ⋯ The timing and context of informed consent significantly affect the subjective outcome of patient satisfaction, and this should be considered during study design. Clinicians should strive to provide pain advice and adequate analgesia to maximize their patients' satisfaction.

Thoracolumbar interfascial plane block for postoperative analgesia in spine surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) block has been discussed widely in spine surgery. The aim of our study is to evaluate analgesic efficacy and safety of TLIP block in spine surgery. ⋯ TLIP block improved analgesic efficacy in spine surgery compared with non-block care. Furthermore, current literature supported the TLIP block was superior to wound infiltration in terms of opioid consumption.
