Randomized Controlled Trial
The erector spinae plane block vs. usual care for treatment of mechanical back pain in the emergency department: a pilot study.
The ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB), traditionally utilized for thoracic regional pain control, has been reported as an effective analgesic option for mechanical back pain, renal colic, and rib fractures in the emergency department (ED). This pilot study aims to compare the effectiveness of the ESPB to usual analgesic treatment for patients presenting to the ED with mechanical back pain. ⋯ NCT05982483.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Comparisons in analgesic effects between ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and surgical intercostal nerve block after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to compare the analgesic effects of anesthesiologist-administrated erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and surgeon-administrated intercostal nerve block (ICNB) following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). ⋯ Both anesthesiologist-administered ultrasound-guided ESPB and surgeon-administered VATS ICNB were effective analgesic techniques for patients undergoing VATS for tumor resection.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intranasal Tapentadol Vs Intravenous Paracetamol for Postoperative Analgesia in Lower Limb Orthopaedic Surgeries Under Spinal Anaesthesia: A Single Blind RCT.
We aimed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of intranasal tapentadol nasal spray 44.5 mg and intravenous (IV) paracetamol 1 gm during the postoperative period in patients undergoing lower limb orthopedic surgeries under spinal anesthesia. ⋯ The results of the present study suggests that intranasal tapentadol results in a greater reduction of postoperative pain compared with IV paracetamol in lower limb orthopedic surgeries. The ease of administration of tapentadol may make it a preferred option over IV paracetamol in such surgeries.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of bilateral catheter superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks using programmed intermittent bolus for opioid-sparing postoperative analgesia in cardiac surgery with sternotomy: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
This study investigated whether catheter superficial parasternal intercostal plane (SPIP) blocks, using a programmed intermittent bolus (PIB) with ropivacaine, could reduce opioid consumption while delivering enhanced analgesia for a period exceeding 48 h following cardiac surgery involving sternotomy. ⋯ Bilateral catheter SPIP blocks using PIB with ropivacaine reduced opioid consumption over 48 h, concurrently delivering superior postoperative analgesia in adult cardiac surgery with sternotomy.
