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.

Can the severity of orofacial myofunctional conditions interfere with the response of analgesia promoted by active or placebo low-level laser therapy?
To analyze the influence of orofacial myofunctional condition (OMC) on pain perception, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) severity, and the response to low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in women with painful TMD. ⋯ The perception of pain and severity of TMD are not correlated with the OMC, and the response of analgesia promoted by active LLLT or placebo is not associated with OMC.

Randomized Controlled TrialGuiding Opioid Administration by 3 Different Analgesia Nociception Monitoring Indices During General Anesthesia Alters Intraoperative Sufentanil Consumption and Stress Hormone Release: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.
This pilot study investigated the effect of sufentanil titration by 3 different analgesia monitoring devices or clinical signs during general anesthesia. ⋯ The type of analgesia nociception monitoring affected the total amount of sufentanil administered. Lower sufentanil doses in the PPI group were associated with an increased endocrine stress response. Titration by SPI caused no opioid reduction compared to the control but was associated with a reduced endocrine stress response.
