Acute postoperative pain is an independent predictor of chronic postsurgical pain following total knee arthroplasty at 6 months: a prospective cohort study.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Long-acting nociceptive-selective regional anesthesia has remained an elusive clinical goal. We aspired to identify a novel compound that would produce nociceptive-selective regional anesthesia through the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels. METHODS:We designed and synth...

abstract：:Shoulder surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain in many patients. The use of an interscalene nerve block offers good analgesia but is associated with a high incidence of an ipsilateral phrenic nerve block. Several strategies to avoid this adverse effect have been studied. Possible strategies are (1)...
