Review Meta AnalysisQuality of meta-analyses of non-opioid, pharmacological, perioperative interventions for chronic postsurgical pain: a systematic review.
In an attempt to aggregate observations from clinical trials, several meta-analyses have been published examining the effectiveness of systemic, non-opioid, pharmacological interventions to reduce the incidence of chronic postsurgical pain. ⋯ CRD42021230941.

Efficacy and safety of rhomboid intercostal block for analgesia in breast surgery and thoracoscopic surgery: a meta-analysis.
Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is a new regional anesthesia technique that provides postoperative analgesia for breast surgery and thoracoscopic surgery. The published papers are not yet fully integrated and do not adequately address the impact and safety of the RIB on postoperative pain. ⋯ This review shows that RIB was more effective in controlling acute pain after breast surgery and thoracoscopic surgery than general analgesia. And it is a trend that RIB may be a kind of effective and safe nerve bock technology and it requires further studies.

Magnesium sulfate reduces postoperative pain in women with cesarean section: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
The use of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ) as an adjunct in different anesthetic regimens for cesarean section (CS) delivery often reports conflicting results. This study aimed to review the effectiveness of MgSO4 on improving postoperative analgesia after CS systematically. ⋯ MgSO4 decreases the highest VAS in women who underwent general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, or epidural for CS (all p < 0.05). Additional MgSO4 significantly reduces postoperative pain in women undergoing CS.

This study aimed to identify the benefits of quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in terms of postoperative analgesic effects in adult participants undergoing hip surgery. ⋯ Our meta-analysis showed that QLB when compared to no block clinically decreased opioid requirements, reduced PONV, and improved participants' satisfaction. QLB also seems to be significantly superior to no block in terms of pain score, but its clinical importance remains unclear.

Effects of abdominal binders on postoperative pain and functional recovery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of abdominal binders (ABs) on postoperative pain and functional recovery in patients receiving abdominal surgery. ⋯ ABs probably improve postoperative pain and physical function, especially on the fourth day or more following abdominal surgery, but they have no effects on pulmonary function.
