Optimizing Patient-centred Outcomes Using Opioid Minimization Strategies: The OPUS Anesthesia Pilot Trial
Up to 40% of patients experience suboptimal recovery in the days following major surgery, limiting their return to functional independence. Few preventive interventions exist, but intravenous dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during general anesthesia represent simple strategies that may significantly impact recovery and other patient-centred outcomes after surgery. The goal of …

Effectiveness of Low-dose Naltrexone in Patients With Different Types of Vulvodynia
Vulvodynia (Vd) is chronic functional vulvar pain, with prevalence of 3-16% and unclear etiopathology. Although Vd significantly deteriorates quality of life, the problem is marginalized, no pharmacologic treatment standards exist. Naltrexone hydrochloride is a specific opioid antagonist with slight agonist activity. There is growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness …
Effects of Low-load Resistance Training With Blood Flow Restriction in Patients With Achilles Tendinopathy
Midportion Achilles tendinopathy (MAT) is a common overuse injury of the lower extremity characterized by the presence of pain, restricted function and interruption of sport activities.

The concern was that ketorolac might increase the risk of bleeding or reduce …
Edge of Laminar Block Versus Erector Spinae Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery
This study aims to compare the ultrasound-guided edge of laminar block (ELB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
Liposomal Bupivacaine vs Ropivacaine for TAPBs
Few studies have compared the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided TAP blocks with Liposomal bupivacaine(LB) versus ropivacaine in reducing postoperative opioid usage in patients undergoing laparoscopic lower abdominal tumor Resection. Therefore, we are conducting this prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of LB and ropivacaine for TAP …
Postoperative Analgesia Between Paravertebral Block and Epidural Block in Esophageal Surgery
Prevention of postoperative pain is essential for the recovery of esophageal surgery. Epidural analgesia is a traditional and standard perioperative pain management for these patients. Beneficials of epidural analgesia have been widely established. However, there are still several potential disadvantages such as perioperative hypotension, failure of administration, rare but serious …
Assessment of Women's Sexual Quality of Life After Benign Adnexal Surgery Using vNOTES Approach
Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a recent innovation in minimally invasive surgery which has already proven its non-inferiority to conventional abdominal laparoscopy (CAL) for hysterectomy in terms of efficiency and safety. However, the investigators note a lack of medical literature and no specific randomized controlled trial (RCT) …
The Effect of PEMF for Patients With Knee OA
