Article Synopsis
- Pain experience is influenced by both incoming pain signals and the brain's ability to modulate these signals based on expectations and therapeutic relationships.
- A study involving 70 adults with chronic pain receiving intravenous lidocaine found that higher treatment expectations correlated with greater pain reduction over 8 weeks.
- The research also highlighted the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance, linking it to both expectations and pain relief, suggesting that improving these factors could enhance treatment outcomes.

Peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) can lessen procedural pain and eliminate the known detrimental effects of our local anesthetics on our orthobiologic target tissues. Local nerve damage and local anesthetic systemic toxicity are risks of PNBs that can be minimized with meticulous injection technique and an understanding of why these complications can occur. Herein, several PNB techniques are described in an effort to enhance procedural safety, efficacy, and comfort.

In recent years, autologous biological preparations have emerged as a growing area of medical innovation in interventional orthopedical procedures and surgical interventions. These cellular therapies are often referred to as orthobiologics and are derived from patient's own tissues, such as blood, bone marrow, and adipose tissue to prepare platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow concentrate, and adipose tissue concentrate, respectively. In this article, we will emphasize and discuss the physiological variability of autologous PRP bioformulations regarding their effectivity in tissue repair.
