Randomized Controlled Trial
Immediate effects of the combination of interferential therapy parameters on chronic low back pain: a randomized controlled trial.
To compare the immediate analgesic effects of 2 kHz or 4 kHz interferential current (IFC) with different amplitude-modulated frequencies (AMFs) (2 Hz or 100 Hz) on chronic low back pain (CLBP). ⋯ RBR-59YGRB.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Percutaneous vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures: a prospective randomized comparison.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. ⋯ In terms of clinical outcomes, there were no differences between the two groups. Both showed a significant clinical improvement, vertebral body height restoration and reduction in the kyphotic angle. There was a significant higher risk of adjacent level fractures in the vertebroplasty group.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Postoperative analgesia and opioid use following hip arthroscopy with ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block: a randomized controlled double-blind trial.
To investigate the postoperative analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in patients undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery. ⋯ Hip arthroscopy patients who received QLB and general anesthesia in combination had less pain and a lower opioid requirement within 24 hours postoperatively.
