Filter by:The goal of this preliminary prospective and observational study is to use hd-EEG (high density electroencephalogram) to investigate how functional and network markers of consciousness are associated to nociception during general anesthesia. More specifically, the aim of this study is to characterize whole-brain functional connectivity and network changes induced by noxious stimulation, and adapt these findings to a clinically-applicable EEG (electroencephalogram) montage.
A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of health and wellness products on pain and other health outcomes
In this prospective, randomized controlled study, we hypothesized that nociception level index monitoring reduced opioid administration during surgery. The secondary goals are to compare the total dose hypnotic drugs, as well as hemodynamic parameters, and to investigate the relationship between changes in the NOL index and HR change following severe noxious stimuli during effect site TCI of propofol and remifentanil in patients undergoing intracranial tumor surgery who are monitored using either standard monitors or the NOL monitor additionally.
The aim of this double blind randomized study will be to investigate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia regimen with a mixture of lidocaine and ketamine in the same syringe versus remifentanyl analgesia in cervical spine surgery.
The translation and cultural adaptation process of the English version of PDQ will be performed based on international guidelines. Subsequently, patients with neuropathic and nociceptive pain based on clinician's diagnoses will be recruited to complete three-type numeric rating scale (NRS) of pain followed by PDQ-M and SF-36 questionnaire. Patients' socio-demographic data and clinical characteristics will be reported using frequency for categorical variables and mean with standard deviation for continuous variables. Normality will be assessed using Shapiro Wilk test and histograms for continuous variables. Data will be compared between groups using chi-square test (for categorical variables) and t-test or Mann-Whitney's U test (for continuous variables). Suitability of PDQ-M data for factor analysis will be verified using the Bartlett's test of sphericity and the Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy. Parallel analysis will performed to obtain the suitable factors. Construct validity will be investigated by exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) with varimax rotation. A factor loading of >0.40 will be used to determine the items for each factor. The internal consistency of the questionnaire will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha test. A p value of <0.05 is taken as statistically significant.
The aim of this double-blind randomized study will be to evaluate the effect an intravenous infusion of magnesium has on recovery outcomes after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy
The aim of this double blind randomized study will be to investigate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia regimen with a mixture of dexmedetomidine-lidocaine-ketamine in the same syringe versus remifentanil analgesia in lumbar spine surgery
A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of health and wellness products on pain and other health outcomes
Pain (nociception), stress and discomfort are difficult to detect in sedated and intubated patients during mechanical ventilation. In order to improve this several nociception level monitors (NOL) were developed that objectively track nociception in sedated or anesthetized patients. Earlier studies showed that for sedated and intubated patients in the operating room, using such monitors is beneficial in reducing stress hormones and post operative pain scores. In this study the investigators aim to observe whether the NOL could be equally beneficial in managing nociception in sedated and intubated ICU patients.
The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of a continuous infusion of low dose esmolol on intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption, as well as on postoperative recovery and chronic pain
