Summary: This study investigated the optimal concentrations of ropivacaine and sufentanil for controlling postoperative pain after cesarean section. The results showed that the combination of 0.15% ropivacaine and 0.5 mu g/ml sufentanil administered epidurally led to lower pain scores, improved patient satisfaction, and shorter time to first flatus, but also increased the incidence of pruritus and numbness.

Summary: This study found that oxycodone has a more potent analgesic efficacy compared to morphine and fentanyl within 24 hours after laparoscopic surgery, especially during the first 0.5 hours post-surgery. However, oxycodone is also more likely to lead to adverse effects such as dizziness and drowsiness. Overall, patient satisfaction did not significantly differ between oxycodone and other opioids.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of preemptive opioids for pain management in patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The results showed that preemptive opioid administration did not provide clinical benefits over placebo. Orthopaedic surgeons should consider not using pre-operative opioids in patients undergoing TKA.

Summary: Oxycodone withdrawal led to transcriptomic changes in the ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens, and medial prefrontal cortex, with HDAC1 as a common regulator. An inhibitor of HDAC1/HDAC2 reduced withdrawal symptoms. Physical dependence and addiction due to opioid analgesic misuse is a major concern. A mouse model of oxycodone exposure and withdrawal was developed, showing gene expression adaptations in the mentioned brain regions, particularly in mice with neuropathic pain. HDAC1 was identified as a key regulator, and an HDAC1/HDAC2 inhibitor attenuated withdrawal symptoms, especially in mice with neuropathic pain. This suggests a potential avenue for chronic pain patients dependent on opioids to transition to non-opioid analgesics.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of oxycodone administration during spinal block for total hip arthroplasty. The results showed that oxycodone prolonged the analgesic duration without causing serious adverse effects, making it a safe and effective option for patients undergoing THA.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of the immediate-release fixed combination of oxycodone/acetaminophen for cancer patients with background and breakthrough pain. The results showed that the combination provided adequate analgesia for moderate-severe background cancer pain. The characteristics of breakthrough cancer pain differed between the two groups, with group A showing lower intensity and faster onset compared to group B.

Summary: This study evaluated the preemptive visceral analgesic effect of thoracic paravertebral block in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The results showed that pre-incisional thoracic paravertebral block significantly reduced the total rescue analgesic consumption during the 24 hours post-surgery and decreased postoperative pain intensity.

Summary: The study found that intravenous injection of sufentanil before general anesthesia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery can significantly reduce postoperative pain. In addition, sufentanil is considered as a potential preemptive analgesic drug, which may be used to manage postoperative pain in short-term surgeries.
