Meta Analysis
Efficacy of greater occipital nerve block for pain relief in patients with postdural puncture headache: A meta-analysis.
This study aimed at assessing the therapeutic effectiveness of greater occipital nerve block (GONB) against postdural puncture headache (PDPH). ⋯ Our results suggested a therapeutic effect of greater occipital nerve block against postdural puncture headache up to postprocedural 24 hours. Further large-scale studies are warranted to evaluate its therapeutic benefit beyond the acute stage.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Perioperative analgesia with ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block for transurethral resection of prostate.
Prostatic hyperplasia is a physiological aging process in men. After transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), visceral pain is the main cause. The effective postoperative analgesia can reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications. This study mainly studied the analgesic effect of quadratus lumborum block (QLB) on TURP. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided QLB in TURP provided a significant analgesic effect in our patients the first day after surgery. This analgesic model may improve the postoperative recovery after TURP.

Randomized Controlled Trial Observational Study
Comparison of USG Guided or Landmark Approach Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block for Positioning in Elderly Hip Fracture Patients with Spinal Anesthesia: a randomized controlled observational study.
Currently, the elderly population in the world is rapidly increasing due to technological developments and convenient access to health services. Due to comorbidities in elderly patients, hip fractures are frequently observed after exposure to environmental trauma. To reduce pain during positioning in spinal anesthesia, fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) can be applied easily and reliably. In our study, we aimed to compare the analgesic effects and duration of fascia iliaca compartment blocks performed with USG guidance or the landmark approach methods for relieving spinal anesthesia position pain. ⋯ Both USG-guided and landmark approach FICB methods provide adequate and similar analgesia for positioning in spinal anesthesia. However, in cases where there is no problem with access to the ultrasound device or time, safer blockage can be provided by imaging neurovascular structures with ultrasound.
