" 01/01/2021 - "Regional anesthesia, including peripheral nerve blocks and neuraxial/epidural anesthesia, offers significant benefits to a multimodal approach in pain treatment. " 11/01/2011 - "Epidural anesthesia for anterior lumbar interbody fusion is potentially beneficial compared with general anesthesia, showing improved perioperative pain control." 01/01/1994 - "The clinical data presented reveal a significant reduction in the incidence of PLP after perioperative epidural anesthesia, as compared to patients with preoperative pain operated on under general anesthesia." 07/01/2003 - "Whereas continuous epidural anesthesia temporarily reduced pain, SCS was more effective in alleviating chronic severe pain and improving the quality of life. "
2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2013 - "In order to test the hypothesis that cancer patients who had surgery with epidural anesthesia (EA) would have better outcome (either overall survival [OS] or recurrence-free survival [RFS]) than those who were general anesthesia (GA), we performed this meta-analysis. " 05/01/2015 - "Protective effects of epidural anesthesia observed in clinical studies seem not to be based on direct effects of these drugs on cancer cells. " 01/01/2015 - "Emerging evidence has shown that epidural anesthesia may help to preserve the body's defenses against tumor progression in comparison with general anesthesia in malignant patients receiving operation. " 06/01/2014 - "Emerging evidence has shown that epidural anesthesia could reduce the excessive stress response after surgery, and may help to preserve the body's defenses against tumor progression in comparison with general anesthesia in malignant patients receiving operation. " 07/01/2011 - "The goal of the study is to assess the efficacy of conservative therapy and epidural anesthesia for ACS treatment in postoperative period in patients with tumors of the sellar region.

3.	Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure) 11/01/1993 - "The greater efficacy of epidural anesthesia, coupled with the significantly lower prevalence of hypotension, justifies the additional cost and time associated with epidural anesthesia for pain management in biliary procedures." 01/01/1991 - "In epidural anesthesia with spread of blockade above T 10, 6% HES 40/0.5 is superior to LRS in the prevention of severe hypotension. " 09/01/2016 - "Postoperative continuous PVB is as effective as thoracic epidural anesthesia and is less likely to cause hypotension. " 03/08/2022 - "Conclusions: Maternal hypotension and the need for neonatal respiratory support associated with anesthesia administration in elective cesarean section may be improved by continuous vasopressor administration upon induction of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia." 11/25/2022 - "On the basis of the findings of non-randomized controlled trials (RCTs) literature, 2 studies suggested that combined epidural-general anesthesia was associated with intraoperative and postoperative hypotension, although one study reported that epidural anesthesia use reduced the incidence of postoperative complications in patients undergone surgical resection of PPGLs. "

" 10/01/2011 - "The study consisted of two parts: section alpha, observational, included 199 subjects undergoing scheduled surgical procedures with pain management standardized on surgery invasiveness and on expected level of postoperative pain; section beta, randomized, included 41 women undergoing scheduled caesarean delivery with continuous intra-operative epidural anesthesia and post-operative analgesia (CEA).
