Perioperative nociception-antinociception balance is essential for the prevention of adverse postoperative events. Estimating the nociception level helps optimize intraoperative management. In the past two decades, various nociception monitoring devices have been developed for the identification of intraoperative nociception. However, each type of nociception monitoring device has advantages and disadvantages, limiting their clinical application in particular patients and settings. Therefore, this review aimed to summarize the information on nociceptor monitoring in current clinical settings, explore each technique's particularities, and possible future directions to provide a reference for clinicians and researchers.

Introduction: Many interventional strategies are commonly used to treat chronic low back pain (CLBP), though few are specifically intended to target the distinct underlying pathomechanisms causing low back pain. Restorative neurostimulation has been suggested as a specific treatment for mechanical CLBP resulting from multifidus dysfunction. In this randomized controlled trial, we report outcomes from a cohort of patients with CLBP associated with multifidus dysfunction treated with restorative neurostimulation compared to those randomized to a control group receiving optimal medical management (OMM) over 1 year.

Eversion carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in awake patients is performed using cervical plexus blocks (CPBs) with or without carotid artery sheath infiltration (CASI) under ultrasound guidance. Although adequacy of anesthesia (AoA) guidance monitors nociception/antinociception balance, its impact on intraoperative analgesia quality and perioperative outcomes in awake CEA remains unexplored. Existing literature lacks evidence on whether AoA-guided anesthesia enhances clinical outcomes over standard techniques.

Breast cancer surgeries offer challenges in perioperative pain management, especially in the presence of inherent risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS). Inappropriate opioid consumption was speculated as one of the reasons. Through this study, the influence of objective pain monitoring through a nociception level monitor (NOL) on perioperative course in breast surgeries was investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • Vertebrogenic pain, often linked to damage in vertebral endplates, is transmitted through the basivertebral nerve (BVN) and is associated with Modic changes visible on MRI.
  • A five-year follow-up of three clinical trials assessing intraosseous radiofrequency ablation (BVNA) shows significant pain and functional improvement in patients with chronic low back pain.
  • Out of 320 participants, 249 (78%) completed the study, revealing major reductions in pain scores and enhancements in disability index, demonstrating BVNA as an effective treatment option.

Introduction: Intraoperative analgesia and sedation are closely related to postoperative delirium. Depth of sedation based on bispectral index (BIS) guidance has been shown to reduce the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD). However, the correlation between intraoperative analgesia levels and POD is unclear.
