Filter by:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of preemptive effect of rectus sheath block (RSB) and intercostal nerve block (ICNB) on postoperative visceral pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LLC). After induction of general anesthesia, group of patient is decided randomly. In Group pre, RSB and ICNB are performed with 0.25% Ropivacaine 40ml before the operation. In Group post, RSB and ICNB are performed with 0.25% Ropivacaine 40ml after the operation. Measure the NRS and compare the rescue analgesic dose used at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 9, 18, and 24 hours after arrival at the recovery room.
Pre-existing pain and severe postoperative pain are predictors of persistent pain after surgery, but a complete understanding on the development of persistent pain is still lacking. The study aims to identify clinically relevant and genetic risk factors for persistent postsurgical pain that can be reliably distinguished statistically.
The proposed study will be a randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of auricular acupuncture as adjunct for pain management during abortion. Women seeking first trimester uterine aspiration procedure who enroll in the study will be randomized to receive: 1) auricular acupuncture using pyonex needles, 2) placebo using an adhesive, 3) or routine care. Both participants and the treating physician will be unaware of treatment assignment. The primary outcome will compare the maximum pain score as measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) between the auricular acupuncture group and the routine care group. The secondary outcome will compare the maximum pain score between placebo group to the routine care group. The study will also investigate patient satisfaction.
This is a prospective, randomized, double blind study of adding dexmedetomidine to ropivacaine for Brachial plexus block and assessing the analgesia with VAS pain scales(0-10), Satisfaction scale by VAS scale(0-10) and time to first analgesic consumption. This study mainly aims to investigate whether addition of dexmedetomidine helps in increasing the duration of analgesia.
The investigator will test the analgesic efficacy of paravertebral morphine as an adjuvant to local anesthetics for acute postoperative pain following breast surgery and renal surgery
This study will determine pain and opioid outcomes 3 & 6 months after an emergency department visit for acute pain. This is an observational study. Patients are enrolled during an ED visit and followed by telephone 3 & 6 months later. Opioid databases will also be reviewed.
This study evaluates the effect of an intervention with a hospital clown compared to standard care on pain experience for acute hospitalized children receiving venipuncture. Half of the children will receive an intervention with the hospital clown while the other half will receive standard care.
Open Label Placebo application has been shown to be effective in treatment of chronic pain (low back pain) and disease like the irritable bowel Syndrome. Data about effects on acute pain are spare. The study investigates the effect of an open-label Placebo (substance without a medical active component) application on acute pain, evoked via a artificial pain model in healthy male volunteers. 32 healthy male volunteers are recruited.
This study evaluates the effect of virtual reality technology alleviates the acute pain of scar treatment with fractional laser under local anesthesia
Pain assessments in non-verbal, critically ill infants represent an important clinical challenge. Older children or adults can easily express their pain, but infants lack that capability. They frequently experience repetitive acute pain during routine ICU care, but their analgesic management flounders on the horns of a dilemma: (a) failure to treat infant pain leads to immediate clinical instability and potentially long-term physical, behavioral, and cognitive sequelae, vs. (b) strong analgesics may increase risks for medical complications and/or impaired brain growth. Bedside nurses currently assess pain using pain scores, before taking action to ameliorate pain. Pain scores increase nursing workload and provide subjective assessments, rather than objective data for evaluating infant pain. Consequently, infants exposed to skin-breaking procedures, surgery, or other painful conditions often receive variable and inconsistent pain management in the ICU. The investigators aim to develop a multimodal pain assessment system, using sensor fusion and novel machine learning algorithms to provide an objective measure of pain that is context-dependent and rater-independent. This will enhance the quality of pain management in ICUs and allow continuous pain monitoring in real-time.
