Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Serratus Anterior Plane Block on Early Recovery from Thoracoscopic Lung Resection: A Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
The efficacy of serratus anterior plane block for treatment of pain after minimally invasive thoracic surgery remains unclear. This trial assesses the impact of serratus anterior plane block on postoperative opioid consumption and on measures of early recovery after thoracoscopic lung resection. ⋯ The protocol-specified intention-to-treat analysis demonstrated that serratus anterior plane block did not result in a significant reduction in opioid consumption when added to a multimodal analgesic regimen after thoracoscopic anatomic lung resection. The sensitivity as-treated analysis showed a significant and modest clinical reduction in the primary outcome that warrants further investigation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block versus peri-capsular nerve group (PNEG) block for pain management in patients with hip fracture: A double-blind randomised comparative trial.
Regional analgesia has been recommended to alleviate pain caused by hip fractures. Both the supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (S-FIB) and the peri‑capsular nerve group (PENG) block provide better analgesia than conventional fascia iliaca block for patients with hip fractures, but which one is superior remains equivocal. This study aimed to determine the superiority of S-FIB or PENG block for patients awaiting hip surgery. ⋯ Our result suggests that with a lower dose of local anaesthetic, a shorter procedure time and earlier analgesic effect, PENG block may be preferred to S-FIB for patients with hip fracture awaiting surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the Analgesic Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block, Paravertebral Block and Quadratus Lumborum Block for Pelvi-ureteric Surgeries: A Randomized Double-Blind, Noninferiority Trial.
Effective postoperative analgesia enhances the patient's comfort and facilitates early mobilization and recovery. ⋯ In pelvi-ureteric surgeries, the ESPB, TPVB, and QLB provided comparable intraoperative and postoperative analgesia, patient satisfaction, and postoperative complications, but the ESPB was performed more quickly. Therefore, we recommend the ESPB as a routine regional anesthetic technique.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Long-Term Treatment of Chronic Postamputation Pain With Bioelectric Nerve Block: Twelve-Month Results of the Randomized, Double-Blinded, Cross-Over QUEST Study.
The multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, active-sham controlled trial (high-freQUEncy nerve block for poST amputation pain [QUEST]) was conducted to show the safety and efficacy of a novel, peripherally placed high-frequency nerve block (HFNB) system in treating chronic postamputation pain (PAP) in patients with lower limb amputations. The primary outcomes from QUEST were reported previously. This study presents the long-term, single-cross-over, secondary outcomes of on-demand HFNB treatment for chronic PAP. ⋯ Overall, HFNB delivered directly to the damaged peripheral nerve provided sustained, on-demand relief of acute PAP exacerbations, reduced opioid utilization, and improved QOL for patients with lower limb amputations with chronic PAP.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Recovery quality of transversus abdominis plane block with liposomal bupivacaine after cesarean delivery: A randomized trial.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine in transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) on recovery quality after cesarean delivery. ⋯ TAP block using either liposomal bupivacaine or a mixture of plain bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine provided superior quality of recovery at 24 h after cesarean delivery compared to using plain bupivacaine alone.
