1.	Pain (Aches) 05/01/2016 - "Little is known about which anesthesia technique (general anesthesia versus brachial plexus blockade) is most beneficial for pain control after distal radius fixation which could significantly affect patients' postoperative course and experience. " 03/01/1999 - "Successful continuous interscalene brachial plexus block provides very good pain relief following shoulder surgery and is superior to the other methods studied. " 08/01/2004 - "Despite significant reduction in pain before discharge from the hospital after ambulatory hand surgery, single-shot axillary brachial plexus block does not reduce pain at home on postoperative day 1 or up to 14 days after surgery when compared with GA. " 04/01/2017 - "The main objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of four subanesthetic doses of dextroketamine for pain relief during brachial plexus block via the posterior approach. " 02/01/2014 - "Ultrasound (US)-guided continuous interscalene brachial plexus block (CBPB) is known to provide effective pain relief for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. "
2.	Postoperative Pain 01/01/2020 - "It is concluded that the use of MHC is more effective than EHC for continuous infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks in providing postoperative pain relief during the first 24 hours." 01/01/2005 - "Continuous brachial plexus blockade was found to be effective in both sympathetic blockade and postoperative pain management. " 01/01/2012 - "This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of the interscalene brachial plexus block (IBPB) on intra-operative hemodynamic changes and post-operative pain during arthroscopic shoulder surgery. " 10/01/2017 - "Interscalene brachial plexus block is currently the gold standard for intra- and post-operative pain management for patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. " 01/01/2017 - "Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) is the gold standard for postoperative pain management in shoulder surgery. "
3.	Paralysis (Palsy) 01/01/2021 - "This prospective, double-blind, randomized study assessed (1) the associations between diaphragm compound muscle action potential (CMAP), hemidiaphragmatic excursion, and pulmonary function after supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SCBPB) and (2) diagnostic efficacy of pulmonary function for hemidiaphragmatic paralysis evidenced by diaphragm CMAP as an assessment of diaphragm strength was evaluated. " 01/01/2019 - "Although interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) remains the gold standard for analgesia after shoulder surgery, the inherent risks of ipsilateral phrenic nerve block and hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP) limit its use in patients with preexisting pulmonary compromise. " 08/01/2014 - "We report an incident of delayed onset of true vocal fold paralysis with continuous interscalene brachial plexus block. " 10/01/2023 - "This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether CCB can reduce the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP), which is a major adverse event related to brachial plexus block (BPB), while yielding comparable block performance as other BPB techniques.

4.	Arteriovenous Fistula 10/01/2018 - "This is especially so for patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula surgery, wherein latest data suggest an improved outcome under brachial plexus block (BPB) compared with local anaesthesia, but no data are available. " 08/01/2018 - "Observational study of the efficacy of supraclavicular brachial plexus block for arteriovenous fistula creation." 10/01/2018 - "This study compared proximal and distal approaches of intercostobrachial nerve block (ICBNB) combined with infraclavicular brachial plexus block (ICBPB) during superficialization of arteriovenous fistula.

" 06/01/2019 - "Although it needs training, we consider that hand surgery including distal radius fractures treatment under the ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block is possible. "
