Use of Virtual Reality for the Management of Anxiety and Pain in Dental Treatments: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dental treatments often cause pain and anxiety in patients. Virtual reality (VR) is a novel procedure that can provide distraction during dental procedures or prepare patients to receive such type of treatments. This meta-analysis is the first to gather evidence on the effectiveness of VR on the reduction of pain (P) and dental anxiety (DA) in patients undergoing dental treatment, regardless of age. ⋯ The findings of the meta-analysis show that VR is an effective distraction method to reduce pain and anxiety in patients undergoing a variety of dental treatments; however, further research on VR as a tool to prepare patients for dental treatment is required because of the scarcity of studies in this area.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Retracted Publication
Thoracolumbar interfascial plane block provides effective perioperative pain relief for patients undergoing lumbar spinal surgery; a prospective, randomized and double blinded trial.
Background: Although bilateral ultrasound-guided thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) block provides effective analgesia to the lumbar spinal region, a few previous studies for the TLIP block have only been reported up to the present. We aimed to study whether the TLIP block in combination with general anesthesia would provide more effective pain relief compared to general anesthesia alone. ⋯ Bilateral TLIP block combined with general anesthesia provides more effective perioperative pain relief than that provided by general anesthesia alone in patients who undergo lumbar spinal surgery.
