To conclude, no analgesic or antihyperalgesic activity of cannabis extract was found in the experiments. Moreover, the results even point to the development of a hyperalgesic state under cannabinoids. Together with previous data, the current results suggest that cannabinoids are not effective analgesics for the treatment of acute nociceptive pain in humans.

Recent findings support the use of ultrasonographic guidance in pediatric regional anesthesia. This review article illustrates basic knowledge in physics of ultrasound and ultrasonographic appearance of neuronal structures, which are prerequisites for the safe application of this technique in daily clinical practice. A critical view on education and ethics in science should emphasize future developments in ultrasonography for pediatric regional anesthesia.
