Randomized Controlled TrialPostoperative Analgesic Efficacy and Safety of Ropivacaine Plus Diprospan for Preemptive Scalp Infiltration in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Preemptive injection of local anesthetics can prevent postoperative pain at the incision site, but the analgesic effect is insufficient and is maintained only for a relatively short period of time. Diprospan is a combination of quick-acting betamethasone sodium phosphate and long-acting betamethasone dipropionate. Whether Diprospan as an adjuvant to local anesthetic can achieve postcraniotomy pain relief has not been studied yet. ⋯ Infiltration of ropivacaine and Diprospan can achieve satisfactory postoperative pain relief after craniotomy; it is a simple, easy, and safe technique, worth clinical promotion.

Advantages of Transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum Block via Subfascial Approach versus Extrafascial Approach for Postoperative Analgesia after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Controlled Study.
We aimed to compare the analgesic effect and incidence of lower limb weakness of transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) block via subfascial approach with that via extrafascial after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). ⋯ TQL block via subfascial had the advantages of better analgesic effect and less lower limbs weakness after LC over that via extrafascial.

Inter-semispinal plane (ISP) block for postoperative analgesia following cervical spine surgery: A prospective randomized controlled trial.
We evaluated the perioperative analgesic effects of the inter-semispinal plane (ISP) block in patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgery. ⋯ Bilateral ultrasound-guided ISP block can provide decreased 24 h postoperative analgesic consumption as well as lower pain scores in the first 12 postoperative hours in patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgery.

Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy of intravenous versus intraperitoneal lidocaine for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the gold standard for gallbladder removal due to the low degree of invasiveness. However, postoperative pain still persists. Local anesthetics provide analgesia, reduce opioid consumption, and accelerate the return of bowel activity with a rare incidence of toxicity. However, it is still inconclusive to verify the more superior route of administration. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of intravenous lidocaine infusion, intraperitoneal lidocaine instillation, and placebo in reducing postoperative analgesia. ⋯ Intravenous lidocaine is superior to intraperitoneal lidocaine instillation and placebo in reducing postoperative analgesic requirement and visceral pain within the first six hours. Intravenous infusion is a simple and reliable method for reducing abdominal pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Preoperative Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Cryoneurolysis for the Treatment of Pain following Mastectomy: A Randomized, Participant- and Observer-Masked, Sham-Controlled Study.
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis is an analgesic technique in which a percutaneous probe is used to reversibly ablate a peripheral nerve(s) using exceptionally low temperature, and has yet to be evaluated with randomized, controlled trials. Pain after mastectomy can be difficult to treat, and the authors hypothesized that the severity of surgically related pain would be lower on postoperative day 2 with the addition of cryoanalgesia compared with patients receiving solely standard-of-care treatment. ⋯ Percutaneous cryoneurolysis markedly improved analgesia without systemic side effects or complications after mastectomy.
