TL;DR: This paper summarizes the group’s consensus on several key aspects of the mixed pain concept, to serve as a foundation for future attempts at generating a mechanistic and/or clinical definition of mixed pain.

TL;DR: Etoricoxib is more effective than celecoxib and placebo for using as preemptive analgesia for acute postoperative pain control in patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

TL;DR: Preemptive analgesia using both ketorolac and parecoxib showed a significantly better early postoperative pain control in the PACU than the control group in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion.

TL;DR: Perioperative administration of pregabalin was not superior to placebo in terms of reducing postoperative pain intensity and PCA morphine requirement in patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

TL;DR: In Southeast Asia, tramadol plays an important part in the pharmacological management of moderate to severe pain, and may be the only available treatment option, if it were to become a controlled substance, the standard of pain management in the region would decline.
