Filter by:The surgical placement of dental implants is presently a common procedure performed by oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dentists. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia and involves the incision of soft tissue to expose the underlying bone, preparation of the implant site using a specialized surgical drill, and.screwing the implant into bone using a specialized headpiece. Dental implant patients experience postoperative pain yet there are no studies in the literature which have evaluated the efficacy of analgesics in this patient population. The current pilot study will evaluate the analgesic effects and tolerability of a recently FDA-approved analgesic formulation of intranasal ketorolac (SPRIX®) in 25 patients who have 1 - 3 dental implants surgically placed. Patients will self administer the ketorolac nasal spray (one spray in each nostril, 31.5 mg total dose) when their postoperative pain reaches at least a moderate severity. Pain intensity and pain relief scores will then be recorded every 20 minutes for the first hour, at 1.5 and 2 hours and then hourly through 6 hours on a validated analgesic diary. Side effects will be recorded when and if they occur. Patients will then transition to a multi-dose phase where they will be allowed to dose with ketorolac as indicated in the package insert (up to 4 times per day for 5 days). Patients will record the time of each dose, a daily assessment of overall efficacy and side effects, and the use of any rescue medication (acetaminophen 650 mg) on a take home diary.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, the safety, and the tolerability of intranasal ketorolac (Sprix) in relieving acute pain in adults ages 18-64 who come to the ED seeking care. Considering all ED visits, pain is the most common chief complaint. Giving intranasal ketorolac (Sprix) after stomach and dental surgeries has been shown to be safe and effective, but no studies have investigated the use of intranasal ketorolac (Sprix) for the treatment of acute pain in the ED. Ketorolac (Sprix) has several advantages over other drugs commonly given for pain, including opioids. Ketorolac (Sprix) is non-addicting and has fewer side effects than opioids. The administration of ketorolac (Sprix) by other methods, such as IV, intramuscular shot, and oral pill form, has been shown to be safe and effective in treating acute pain. This study is being done to find out if giving ketorolac (Sprix) as a single dose nasal spray will have the same benefit in decreasing patient's pain.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Iv paracetamol is as effective as Iv Morphine sulfate on control of the acute pain in Patient with limb trauma.
The purpose of this study is to see if the Calmer is more effective at managing acute pain in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care than the current standard of care in the unit. Hypothesis: While receiving treatment with Calmer, infants will show lower behavioral pain scores and lower heart rates, and more stable autonomic regulation as measured by heart rate variability indices, than infants given a soother plus facilitated tucking (standard of care) during routine blood collection.
This study investigates the treatment of acute pain, an unpleasant feeling caused by an injury. The overall purpose of the study is to gain more information that the pain relief medicine Penthrox(Methoxyflurane) administered using the Penthrox Inhaler(a distinctive green, whistle like object that you breathe through) is safe and works at relieving pain in patients aged 12 years and older who are admitted to a hospital Emergency Department with a minor injury (known as trauma).
There will be 3 randomized, double-blinded clinical trials to help determine which of commonly prescribed oral opioid combination is most effective in managing acute extremity pain after discharge from the adult emergency department. The first trial compares hydrocodone 5mg / acetaminophen 500mg to codeine 30mg/acetaminophen 300mg. The second trial compares oxycodone 5mg/acetaminophen 325mg to codeine 30mg/acetaminophen 300mg. The third trial compares oxycodone 5mg/acetaminophen 325 mg to hydrocodone 5mg/acetaminophen 325 mg.
A single center trial to evaluate the efficacy, tolerance, and acceptability of Oxygenated Glycerol Triesters (OGT) mentholated cream on acute musculoskeletal pain in normal healthy adult volunteers suffering from a recent inflammation of muscles and joints. Patient who met eligibility requirements were instructed to identify one area on their body where they were experiencing the most acute musculoskeletal pain/discomfort. Patients were provided with visual analog scales in order to quantify their pain. Patients either received mentholated cream with or without OGT and instructed to rub on the identified site 3 times a day for 7 days. Pain and other observations were written in a diary for each day.
Less than 10% of patients with a traumatic pain have been managed by a physician before to be admitted in an emergency service. 50 % of those patients have been carried by paramedics. Premixed nitrous oxide and oxygen is often used by paramedics, but no scientific studies have demonstrated its efficacy. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of premixed nitrous oxide and oxygen in patients with out-of-hospital moderate acute pain.
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate analgesic efficacy and safety of hydrocodone/acetaminophen extended release compared to placebo in the treatment of moderate to severe pain following bunionectomy.
Can a nurse-based, anesthesiologist-supervised model reduce prevalence of postoperative pain in pediatric patients?
