Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Piroxicam and paracetamol in the prevention of early recurrent pain and emergency department readmission after renal colic: Randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Renal colic (RC) is a common urologic emergency often leading to significant pain and recurrent hospital visits. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of piroxicam versus paracetamol in preventing pain recurrence and hospital readmission in patients treated for RC and discharged from the emergency department (ED). ⋯ Piroxicam and paracetamol did not demonstrate efficacy in preventing pain recurrence or ED readmission within the first week following RC treatment.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Paracetamol did not improve the analgesic efficacy with regional block after video assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
Various analgesic techniques have been applied, the pain after video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is still challenging for anesthesiologists. Paracetamol provide analgesic efficacy in many surgeries. However, clinical evidence in the lung surgery with regional block remain limited. This monocentric double-blind randomized controlled trial investigates the efficacy of paracetamol after VATS with regional block. ⋯ The analgesic efficacy of one gram of paracetamol with ESPB and ICNB after VATS was not proven. Thus, caution should be exercised when prescribing paracetamol for pain control during VATS.

Effect of fasting-induced headache on calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and other clinical biomarkers on the first day of Ramadan: Sub-analysis from a randomized open label clinical trial.
Fasting-induced headaches (FIHs) have been shown to occur on the first day of Ramadan and clearly decline thereafter. Despite the wealth of knowledge about different types of headaches (e.g., migraine-, cluster-, and tension-type headaches), research on the mechanism underlying FIHs, as well as their treatment, remains scarce. Our study aimed to investigate any association between FIHs during the first day of Ramadan and potential headache-related biomarkers, including fasting blood glucose (FBG), C-reactive protein (CRP), magnesium, vitamin B9, vitamin B12, homocysteine, and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), and to assess whether a prophylactic use of paracetamol may influence these biomarkers. ⋯ Our findings revealed the role of CGRP in FIHs for the first time and suggest further investigation in signaling pathways downstream CGRP receptors. Furthermore, the modulation CGRP or CGRP receptors could have a clinical application in the prevention of FIHs.

Acetaminophen for Prevention and Treatment of Organ Dysfunction in Critically Ill Patients With Sepsis: The ASTER Randomized Clinical Trial.
Acetaminophen (paracetamol) has many pharmacological effects that might be beneficial in sepsis, including inhibition of cell-free hemoglobin-induced oxidation of lipids and other substrates. ⋯ Intravenous acetaminophen was safe but did not significantly improve days alive and free of organ support in critically ill sepsis patients.
