Filter by:The primary aims of total knee replacement are improvement in functional activities and reduce pain due to degenerated knee joints. However, there are around 20-30% of patients would develop significant pain problem despite uncomplicated total knee replacement. It accounts for major post-operative problems and burdens. Dexamethasone is glucocorticoid which is associated with anti-inflammatory response. It is well known to have prophylaxis effect for post-operative nausea and vomiting. Perioperative single dose of systemic dexamethasone have shown to be useful for reduction in pain and cumulative opioid consumption. Meta-analysis from De Oliveira et al supports that dexamethasone (up to 0.2 mg/kg) is a safe and effective multimodal pain strategy after surgical procedures. However, this dose recommendation is not surgery specific. It is essential to have more RCTs evaluating the optimal dose of steroid for pain management after hip and knee surgery.
An open-label study of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of MNK-155 in postsurgical adolescent subjects aged 12 to 17 years with moderate to severe acute pain. The study will assess the safety of administering multiple doses of MNK-155 in this population.
Acute painful conditions make-up a large proportion of pre-hospital transports in British Columbia (BC) yet Basic Life Support (BLS) paramedics have limited options to provide analgesia and therefore adequate and timely pain relief is often significantly delayed. Inhaled nitrous oxide is commonly used as a pre-hospital analgesic and is considered "usual care" for pre-hospital providers in BC, but its utility in severe pain is uncertain. Moreover, nitrous oxide is limited in its effectiveness by a short duration of action, nausea, vomiting, and the necessity for patient cooperation. IN Ketamine has been shown to provide rapid, easily-administered, and well-tolerated analgesia in many settings. The investigators believe that the addition of IN ketamine to usual care with nitrous oxide inhalation for adults experiencing moderate to severe intensity acute pain in the pre-hospital setting will result in improved pain severity, improved patient-reported comfort, and improved patient satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to compare intravenous (IV) and oral acetaminophen for the treatment of acute moderate to severe pain in combination with standard patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) in adult subjects following total knee replacement.
The safety and the efficacy of the Esflurbiprofen Hydrogel Patch will be assessed in comparing with placebo in the treatment of acute pain due to ankle sprain
Management of acute pain is one of the most important tasks of perioperative pediatric anesthesia. The alleviation of pain has been defined by the Society of Pediatric Anesthesia, on its 15th annual meeting as a basic human right, irrespective of age, treatment primary service responsible for the patient care. Pro-inflammatory cytokines increased by surgical trauma indirectly modulate pain through the release of substances like nitric oxide, oxygen free radicals, prostaglandins, and excitatory amino acids, inducing peripheral and central sensitivity and hyperalgesia. There has been growing interest in determining the possible immune consequences of analgesic administration for the management of postoperative pain
The purpose of the investigators' study is to assess the efficacy of a single dose of preoperative gabapentin within an enhanced recovery after surgery protocol in acute postoperative pain reduction for women undergoing a minimally invasive hysterectomy. Participants who consent to participate will be randomized to either a control group without gabapentin or to a study arm and receive gabapentin 600 mg prior to their planned surgery. The investigators will collect data on postoperative narcotic use, subjective pain as rated by a numeric pain scale, in addition to any adverse effects of single dose gabapentin use.
This randomised, controlled multi-centre parallel group trial will assess the efficacy and tolerability of a topical formulation gel of the combination of diclofenac and capsaicin in comparison to gels with diclofenac alone, capsaicin alone, and placebo for the treatment of acute back pain or neck pain
This study aims to compare the incidence of urinary retention and requirement of bladder catheterization in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty while receiving either continuous epidural analgesia or single shot femoral nerve block.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics of Oxymorphone HCl as an analgesic for acute moderate to severe post-operative pain in pediatric subjects.
