A Comparative Effect of Echogenic Needle for Nerve Block on Acute and Chronic Postoperative Pain
Surgical pain is a common complication after surgery, affecting patient recovery and treatment quality. \>20% of patients suffer from chronic postoperative pain. China has \>70 million surgeries yearly. Nerve block manages postoperative pain, with developing nerve block needles now used in clinics. Developed needles may have better pain management effects than non-developed ones, but their effect on reducing chronic pain remains unclear. This study aims to explore the effect of developed nerve block needles on postoperative pain and compare them to non-developed needles, providing new ideas and methods for pain management.
