Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Comparison of adductor canal block with local infiltration analgesia in primary total knee arthroplasty: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Currently, there remains a paucity of literature about the efficiency of adductor canal block (ACB) versus local infiltration analgesia (LIA) for pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to perform a relatively credible and overall assessment to compare the efficiency of ACB versus LIA for early postoperative pain treatment after TKA. ⋯ Both treatments provide similar overall pain relief after TKA. LIA may achieve earlier ambulation compared with ACB. More high-quality RCTs are still required to make the final conclusion.

Meta Analysis
Pectoralis-II Myofascial Block and Analgesia in Breast Cancer Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
The pectoralis-II myofascial block for breast cancer surgery is a safe and effective alternative to the paravertebral block, demonstrating non-inferiority for 24 hour pain and analgesia need.

It is reported that both adductor canal block (ACB) and femoral nerve block (FNB) are commonly used methods for postoperative analgesia in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Currently, no record has compared the efficacy of postoperative pain relief and the influence to quadriceps strength between them. This study aims to provide a protocol to compare the efficacy and safety between ACB and FNB for the postoperative analgesia of ACL reconstruction. ⋯ Findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis will summarize the current evidence in postoperative analgesia for ACL reconstruction and also provide implications for clinical practice.

Meta Analysis
The safety and efficacy of dorsal penile nerve block for premature ejaculation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Premature ejaculation is a common sexual dysfunction disease in adult males. There are many clinical trials shown that dorsal penile nerve block can prolong the ejaculation latency to a certain extent in the vagina. In this study, we aim to use a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dorsal penile nerve block for premature ejaculation. ⋯ This systematic review will evaluate the efficacy and safety of dorsal penile nerve block for premature ejaculation. Because all of the data used in this systematic review and meta-analysis has been published, this review does not require ethical approval. Furthermore, all data will be analyzed anonymously during the review process Trial.

Meta Analysis
The efficacy of fascia iliaca compartment block for pain control after hip fracture: A meta-analysis.
To assess the effect of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) on pain control and morphine consumption in patients with hip fracture. ⋯ FICB has a beneficial role in reducing pain intensity and morphine consumption after hip fracture. Moreover, FICB has morphine-sparing effects when compared with a control group. More high-quality RCTs are needed to identify the optimal technique and volume of injectate for FICB.
