Pre-operative brachial plexus block compared with an identical block performed at the end of surgery: a prospective, double-blind, randomised clinical trial.

, 2017
We evaluated whether pre-emptive analgesia with a pre-operative ultrasound-guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block resulted in better postoperative analgesia than an identical block performed postoperatively.

Ultrasound measurement of the distance of the phrenic nerve from the brachial plexus at the classic interscalene point and upper trunk: A volunteer-based observational study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2023
Background and Aims: The method of blocking the brachial plexus at the level of the upper trunk has been gaining popularity as a phrenic nerve–sparing alternative for interscalene block.

Median Effective Volume of 0.2% Ropivacaine for Ultrasound‐Guided Axillary Brachial Plexus Block in Children Aged 6–10 Years: A Prospective Dose‐Finding Study Using Up‐and‐Down Sequential Allocation

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the median effective volume (EV50) of 0.2% ropivacaine for ultrasound‐guided axillary brachial plexus block (ABPB) in children aged 6–10 years, using the Dixon up‐and‐down method. The EV50 was 0.350 mL/kg (95% CI: 0.197–0.362 mL/kg), calculated by isotonic regression and bootstrapping.

A novel approach for brachial plexus block

, 2009
Aim: The line from the midpoint of the sternocleidomastoid muscle to the midpoint of the clavicle was considered the surface projection of the brachial plexus in the supraclavicular region in a previous report using radiological and anatomic techniques ...

Efficacy of dexamethasone versus dexmedetomidine combined with local anaesthetics in brachial plexus block: A meta-analysis and systematic review

, 2022
Both dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine are commonly used local anaesthetic adjuvants in brachial plexus block to enhance the blocking effect. However, it is unclear which of the two drugs is more effective in a brachial plexus block.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Anomalous patterns of formation and distribution of the brachial plexus in Nigerians and the implication for brachial plexus block

, 2002
block Background: Structural variations in the patterns of formation and distribution of the brachial plexus have drawn attentions both in anatomy and anaesthesia. Method: An observational study.

Addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block

, 2017
Purpose: Research is ongoing to determine the lowest dose of local anesthetics in brachial plexus block that provides adequate anesthesia and postoperative analgesia and reduces complications related to local anesthetics.

Handwriting speed in left‐handed children with right‐sided neonatal brachial plexus palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This observational study investigated whether left‐handed children with right‐sided neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) exhibit reduced handwriting speed compared with typically developing left‐handed peers and explored determinants of any observed differences.
