BACKGROUND The suprascapular nerve accounts for 70% of shoulder sensory innervations, and suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) has been shown to be effective in the relief of chronic shoulder pain including rotator cuff tendinitis, subdeltoid impingement syndrome, and adhesive capsulitis. However, this remains inconclusive for patients undergoing surgery. The present meta-analysis aimed to explore ...

Post-operative pain and its management remains one of the most important issues in the field of surgery and health care system. On the other hand, opioid drug abuse has a large prevalence in Iran. Formalin test has been used as a method for assessing pain and analgesia in rats. In the present study, the post-operative pain in morphine addicted rats was compared with that of non-addicted ones us...

Background and aim "Fast-Track Surgery" is an interdisciplinary multimodal perioperative treatment that includes intra-operative anesthesia and post-operative analgesia using drugs and ways of administration as thoracic epidural analgesia and lidocaine infiltration of the incisions for post-operative pain relief, in combination with the immediate mobilization of the patient, the early oral nutr...

Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) report low satisfaction with postoperative pain control. The purpose of this study is to examine if there is a difference in post-operative pain for TKA patients without femoral nerve block receiving an intra-operative pericapsular injection of bupivacaine liposome suspension (EXPAREL; Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc., San Diego, California) versus ...

The intra-articular injection of local anaesthetic is frequently used for pain relief after arthroscopy. There is, however, no published evidence of the analgesic effect of bupivacaine in the ankle. In a randomised, double-blind study, 35 patients undergoing arthroscopy of the ankle were allocated to receive intra-articular saline or bupivacaine. Pain was assessed using pain scores and addition...

Background: Achieving satisfactory post-operative analgesia with neuraxial administration of narcotics has been the subject of much research. The use of epidural opioids had become an increasingly popular technique for management of acute post-operative pain in recent times. This study evaluates post-operative analgesic benefits in patients administered epidural butorphanol, nalbuphine, and fen...
