Filter by:the investigators will compare the effect of pre-operative oblique subcostal TAP and lateral TAP blocks on the total perioperative opioids consumption for patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of intravenous infusion of lidocaine at different doses (1 mg/kg/h vs. 2 mg/kg/h) in the intraoperative period in patients undergoing lumbar stabilization, whether postoperative pain, postoperative opioid use, opioid-related side effects are reduced, and its effects on intraoperative hemodynamics
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare laparoscopic guided peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block and bupivacaine versus local wound infiltration effect on reducing post-op opioid use in Laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Can laparoscopic guided peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block reduced post operative morphine usage when comparing with local wound port site infiltration. Participants will be randomize into 2 group - peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block - local wound port site infiltration
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the commercial potential for a novel virtual reality (VR) intervention in preparation for Phase II development. This clinical trial will test the VR intervention for efficacy in reducing opioid use, increasing abstinence, and other self-reported and behavioral focus on future outcomes in individuals in early recovery from opioid use disorder. - Will the VR group, compared to the control group, have a lower number of opioid use days? - Will the VR group, compared to the control group, have longer periods of abstinence at the 30-day follow-up? - Will the VR group, compared to the control group, have significantly increased opioid abstinence rates? - Will the VR group, compared to baseline and the control group, show increased future self-identification post-VR intervention? - Will the VR group, compared to baseline and the control group, show increased future orientation post-VR intervention? - Will the VR group, compared to baseline and the control group, show an increased preference for delayed rewards in a laboratory delay discounting task post-VR intervention? - Will the VR group, compared to baseline and the control group, exceed in behavioral effects (i.e., future self-identification, future orientation, and increased preference for delayed rewards) at the 30-day follow-up? Researchers will compare the VR test group and the control group to see if there are differences in the results for the questions outlined above.
The purpose of this study is to compare activity in the brains of female adults with chronic pain and/or opioid use, and healthy female adults that may help to develop new and targeted treatments for adults with chronic pain and alternatives to opioid therapy.
This study is a nationwide cross-sectional survey on pain and satisfaction after knee arthroplasty (KA). Please find the full protocol uploaded at ClinicalTrials.gov The goal of this observational study is to study pain and satisfaction in patients operated with knee arthroplasty. The main question it aims to answer are: - What is the incidence of persistent postsurgical pain in unselected knee arthroplasty patients - What is the level of satisfaction in unselected knee arthroplasty patients? Participants will be asked to answer a 22-item questionnaire.
This is a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of daily supplementation with Root.Health, a plant-based dietary supplement, on reducing levels of 11 abnormal urine biomarkers associated with chronic pain. Biomarkers are molecules found in blood, tissues, or other body fluids (such as urine) that indicate normal or abnormal processes.
The aim of this study is to document the perioperative opioid use and its safety in the UK and countries in Europe and to describe its association with surgical complications, persistent pain and quality of life. In an international, prospective, observational cohort study, data about the perioperative pain management will be collected in all eligible hospitalised adult patients who undergo surgery in a designated "study week" in as many hospitals as possible in Europe. Baseline data will be collected, and participants followed up at one week, and at three and twelve months post-operatively. The primary outcome will be opioid use at three months after surgery. Secondary outcomes will include opioid use during the preoperative month (preoperative use), during surgery and up to one week after surgery (or discharge, whichever is earlier), and up to the end of the postoperative year. Additional secondary outcomes are the incidence of preoperative pain, persistent pain with/without the presence of neuropathic components, quality of life and surgical complications. The potential association between opioid use and pain outcomes will be investigated. This study could help to develop strategies to improve quality of care, through pain management, for patients undergoing surgery.
This is a study on how patients use and store opioid pain medications at home after surgery and what happens to left over pills when patients are done taking them. Participants will be taught the proper storage and destruction of opioid pain medications, then contacted in 6-8 weeks about pain medication used, stored disposed of.
This study will use multiple methods to assess the feasibility of conducting a fully powered multisite clinical trial to test the effectiveness of integrating mindfulness-based interventions into physical therapy for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and long-term opioid treatment. First, researchers will develop a manual for training physical therapists to provide mindfulness-based interventions to patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and long-term opioid treatment. Next, the researchers will evaluate the competency of physical therapists to provided mindfulness-based interventions after being randomized to one of 3 different mindfulness training arms. Patients scheduled for physical therapy with the randomized physical therapists will be invited to enroll in the study. These patients will be asked to complete a variety of patient reported outcomes including self-reported average pain and the the amount of prescription opioid pain medication taken.
