Filter by:Hip fractures are morbid conditions, especially in elderly patients, and their treatment is usually surgical. Pericapsular nerve group block targets the hip capsule. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the perioperative analgesic efficacy of PENG blocks applied investigation of the effect of perinuerally and systemic dexamethasone on pain scores in the first 24 hours of PENG block in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia.
A randomized controlled study was planned to determine the effect of manual pressure and local cold spray application on the intensity of pain, fear, hemodynamic parameters, and satisfaction related to the pain reduction of human Anti-D immunoglobulin injection administered to pregnant women.
The incidence of femoral neck fracture in Europe is 330/10000 per year. It is increasing every year due to the aging of the population. In patients 55 years and older, hip fracture-related mortality is estimated to be between 4% and 16% at one month and between 11% and 43% at one year after surgery. The reduced risk of postoperative complications associated with the use of regional anesthesia, shorter mobilization times, and reduced morphine consumption in hip fractures have been reported, and have been incorporated into postoperative pain control as part of multimodal strategies. PENG has been described for postoperative pain control for surgery on the hip joint or for the treatment of post-traumatic pain associated with proximal femur/femoral head fractures. Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block is used in combination with other peripheral block methods to provide analgesia in the lateral thigh. The investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of adding lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block to PENG block on pain scores and opioid consumption in femoral fracture procedures under spinal anesthesia.
Acute postoperative pain after breast cancer surgery is usually moderate to severe, and inadequate postoperative pain management can significantly increase perioperative analgesic consumption, prolong hospital stay, and even cause long-term persistent pain such as postmastectomy pain syndrome. A multimodal analgesic approach (NSAII, paracetamol, opioids, local infiltration, facial plane blocks and paravertebral and periparavertebral blocks) is recommended. Paravertebral block (PVB) is considered the gold standard analgesic method for breast surgery. However, PVB is an invasive block requiring advanced skills and deep injection in close proximity to the pleura, intercostal nerves, neuraxis, great vessels and intercostal neurovascular bundles. As a result, the ongoing risks of pneumothorax, neuraxial spread, hypotension and systemic toxicity preclude its routine use in the day surgery setting. Therefore, alternative blocks have been developed. Various regional techniques such as Serratus plan block (SPB), interpectoral/pectoroserratus blocks (PECS I/II), erector spina plan block (ESPB) and rhomboid intercostal plan block (RIB) have been used to relieve pain after breast surgery. However, local anesthetic distribution may be affected by the surgical incision in the chest muscles. ESPB can be performed from cervical to sacral vertebrae, but clinical, cadaveric and radiologic results are inconsistent. RIB provides hemithoracic analgesia; however, RIB does not cover the cranial aspect of the T2 dermatome. A meta-analysis reported that SPB effectively relieves acute postoperative pain, reduces nausea and vomiting, and improves perioperative anesthesia outcomes in breast surgery. In another study compared with placebo, it was reported that serratus plane block provided less pain at rest, but there was no significant difference in reducing postoperative opioid consumption. Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plan Block is performed in the fascial plane between the serratus posterior superior muscle and intercostal muscles at the second and third costal level. SPSIB provides hemithoracic analgesia from the paraspinal region to the anteromedial region of the chest wall including the axillary region. In a case series of patients undergoing breast surgery, it was reported that the costal plane plays an important role in preventing pneumothorax, provides a natural barrier to the pleura, and may be a good choice for postoperative analgesia management as part of multimodal analgesia after breast surgery. In this study, the investigators aimed to observationally investigate the effect of serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block on postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery under general anesthesia.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the PainSMART-strategy in a population of patients seeking primary care physiotherapy for pain related to muscles, joints and bones, so called musculoskeletal pain. The PainSMART-strategy consists of a digital educational film (entitled Be PainSMART:er) and a discussion based on the film at the initial physiotherapy consultation. The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are: 1. Can the PainSMART-strategy update knowledge and beliefs about pain and aid early stage self-management of pain for participants seeking primary care physiotherapy with benign musculoskeletal pain? 2. Can the PainSMART-strategy improve evaluations of the initial physiotherapy consultation for both the patient and physiotherapist? Participating patients will be randomised into two groups. One group (intervention group) will receive the PainSMART-strategy as an adjunct to the current physiotherapy care pathway for musculoskeletal pain. The other group (control group) will follow the current physiotherapy care pathway. The two groups will be followed and compared over three months. Self-report questionnaires will be collected during the three-month period to analyse what effects the PainSMART-strategy can have on the following health outcomes: - Pain levels - Beliefs that one can remain active despite pain - Knowledge about pain - Worry about the seriousness of the pain - Expectations regarding recovery - Use of pain self-management strategies - Levels of physical activity - Absence from work due to pain - Number of referrals made for scans or x-rays, or to a specialist, for pain - Number of healthcare visits for pain during the trial period. Participating patients (both groups) and physiotherapists will also complete questionnaires to evaluate the effect of the PainSMART-strategy on the initial physiotherapy consultation.
The study aimed to investigate clinical effect of autogenous dentin graft on patients following mandibular wisdom tooth extraction. The primary outcomes are pain, swelling, trismus and soft tissue healing index within one week after surgery. The investigators also measured periodontal healing of distal aspect of the adjacent second molar up to 2 year after the surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether administration of a pectoral nerve blocks (Pecs I and II) with 0.25% bupivacaine are more effective as compared to placebo to provide analgesia for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) placement in cardiac electrophysiology lab
The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of morphine versus ketamine when they are used as adjuvants to the local anesthetic in paravertebral nerve blocks performed with the aid of ultrasound. Furthermore, a group of local anesthetic without an adjuvant, will also be compared to the two groups
This observational study is designed to evaluate the integration of a model-informed, clinically individualized pharmacokinetics (PK) profile (precision dosing dashboard) into prescribing clinicians' existing workflows to improve safety and efficacy of morphine dosing for neonates. The investigators will use user-centered participatory design methods and real-time analysis to inform the refinement of the recently developed Electronic Health Record (EHR) model-based decision support tool and test it during the pre-and post-implementation stages.
Acupressure, which is a type of nonpharmacological practice. Acupressure is a practice that provides energy flow by applying pressure to the special points of the meridians that innately carry energy in the body with stimulation bands, hands, and fingers. Acupressure is also known as acupuncture without needles. Because no needles are used in acupressure, acupressure is an easy, safe, effective, and economical method to learn and apply. There is no study to determine the effect of acupressure on acute pain, patient satisfaction and stress, which is applied to adult patients during the venipuncture procedure. In this context, the study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of acupressure on acute pain, stress level and satisfaction during venpuncture in adult patients.Patient Evaluation Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Visual Patient Satisfaction Scale and State Anxiety Inventory will be used in the study. The scales will be used before and after venpuncture. Acupressure will be applied to the adults in the acupressure group for 10 min before the venipuncture procedure. Pain, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels of the adults in the acupressure and control groups will be evaluated both before and after the venipuncture procedure.
