Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyIntraoperative landmark-based genicular nerve block versus periarticular infiltration for postoperative analgesia in total knee arthroplasty: a randomized non-inferiority trial.
Genicular nerve blocks (GNBs) are an emerging technique that have been used as a part of multimodal analgesia for total knee arthroplasty. The efficacy of intraoperative landmark-based GNBs, a recently introduced technique, has been established. We hypothesized that it would provide non-inferior postoperative analgesia compared with periarticular infiltration (PAI) when combined with continuous adductor canal block. ⋯ GNB compared with PAI provides non-inferior resting pain relief. Non-inferiority was not established for pain during movement.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Suprascapular Nerve Blocks and Intraarticular Corticosteroid Injections for Frozen Shoulder: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The current mainstream treatment for frozen shoulder is a combination of physiotherapy and intraarticular corticosteroid injections (IACIs). Recently, the ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) has developed as a notable alternative option to the mainstream treatment. ⋯ A combination of ultrasound-guided IACIs and physiotherapy should be attempted first as a frozen shoulder treatment.
