Background This study aimed to compare ultrasound versus ultrasound with nerve stimulation-guided obturator nerve block (ONB) for the prevention of adductor spasm in patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Methodology This randomized controlled study included 240 adult patients in the age group of 30 to 70 years undergoing TURBT for lateral and posterolateral wall bladder tumors who fulfilled the American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I and II criteria. The patients were divided into two groups: group U (n = 120) included patients who underwent ONB using an ultrasound-guided technique and group UN (n = 120) included patients who underwent ONB using ultrasound with the nerve stimulation technique.

Background: Lower-extremity spasticity and impaired gait control after central nervous system injury are challenging to improve, because spasticity limits residual motor control while providing mechanical support. Highly selective partial neurectomies (HSPNs) can substantially reduce spasticity but may have greater risks in patients with complex lower-extremity spastic gait.
Objective: To examine the potential of ultrasound- and stimulation-guided highly selective motor nerve blocks (HSMNBs) to assess the potential impact of reduced spasticity on gait.

Introduction: Caudal block is frequently performed to provide analgesia for hypospadias repair. Literature suggests that pudendal block provides prolonged postoperative analgesia as compared with caudal block in children between 2 and 5 years. We compared the efficacy of pudendal and caudal blocks in children less than 2 years.

Unlabelled: Patients suffering from sleep-related bradyarrhythmias are often underdiagnosed, due to the presence of asymptomatic cases. Although the consequence of increased nocturnal parasympathetic nerve activities and decreased sympathetic nerve activity during sleep are associated with nocturnal bradyarrhythmias, the detailed mechanisms are still unknown. It is well known that ganglionated plexi (GP) ablation is an effective therapeutic approach to modify autonomic nerve functions.

Peripheral electrical nerve stimulation enhances hand function during stroke rehabilitation. Here, we proposed a percutaneous direct median nerve stimulation guided by ultrasound (ultrasound-guided median nerve electrical stimulation, UG-MNES) and evaluated its feasibility and effectiveness in the treatment of stroke patients with upper limb extremity impairments. Sixty-three stroke patients (2-3 months of onset) were randomly divided into control and UG-MNES groups.
