Effectiveness of Generative Artificial Intelligence-Driven Responses to Patient Concerns in Long-Term Opioid Therapy: Cross-Model Assessment.

While long-term opioid therapy is a widely utilized strategy for managing chronic pain, many patients have understandable questions and concerns regarding its safety, efficacy, and potential for dependency and addiction. Providing clear, accurate, and reliable information is essential for fostering patient understanding and acceptance. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications offer interesting avenues for delivering patient education in healthcare.

Genicular Nerve Ultrasound-Guided Cryoanalgesia for the Treatment of Chronic Knee Joint Pain: An Observational Retrospective Study.

Introduction: Chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent source of disability in the adult population. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective surgical treatment for advanced disease, but many patients continue to suffer from chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP).
