Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of EXPAREL when administered via local wound infiltration to subjects undergoing open spinal fusion or reconstructive surgery. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of EXPAREL in this surgical model.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a shorter-acting spinal anesthetic called mepivacaine has advantages over a longer-acting medication called bupivacaine.
Serratus plane block was first described in 2013 by Blanco and designed to primarily block the thoracic intercostal nerves. And this block provides sufficient analgesia lateral anterior and posterior part of thoracic wall.Increased use of ultrasound guidance for regional anesthesia in recent years has led to definition of thoracic wall PECs blocks by Blanco. The Serratus plain block (SPB), providing wider analgesia, with easier application and less adverse effects than neuroaxial blocks, has been defined after these blocks and has taken its place in the literature.In spite of the insufficient randomized clinical trials in the literature, SPB has been reported for many cases such as thoracoscopy, shoulder arthroscopy, breast surgery and axillary lymph node dissections, and the results are promising. The aim of this study is to determine effectiveness of ultrasound guided bilateral serratus plane block in patients undergoing breast reduction surgery. Main outcome measures: The primary endpoint is postoperative opioid consumption. Secondary endpoints are visual analogue pain scores, opioid related side effects.
This study evaluates the addition of a quality improvement toolbox to an online audit and feedback intervention in Dutch intensive care units. The toolbox comprises for each quality indicator (e.g., percentage of patients per shift whose pain is measured) a list of potential bottlenecks in the care process (e.g., staff is unaware of the prevailing guidelines for measuring pain every shift), associated recommendations for actions to solve mentioned bottlenecks (e.g., organize an educational training session), and supporting materials to facilitate implementation of the actions (e.g., a slide show presentation discussing the importance and relevance of measuring pain every shift). Half of the participating intensive care units will only receive online feedback, while the other half will additionally gain access to the integrated toolbox to facilitate planning and executing actions.
The study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of VR non-opioid management vs. a control "sham" intervention for a broad and representative group of medical and surgical patients with pain. Hospitalized patients will receive specialized VR interventions, administered via portable VR headsets, to manage breakthrough pain. Control patients will view content on the in-room Health and Wellness television channel. Investigators will follow patients throughout the course of their hospitalization and monitor outcomes during and after their stays, including pain levels, medication requests, and quality of life.
This prospective, randomized study,control study aims to compare the analgesic effect,opioids consumption,quality of recovery,length of hospital stay and incidence of chronic pain,et al. between single-injection QLB(quadratus lumborum block)+ intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IPCA) and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IPCA) alone in patients undergoing laparoscopic renal surgeries.
Comparison of two types of analgesia after cesarean section. All patients will anaesthetised with spinal technique. Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane or quadratus lumborum block to treat postoperative pain. Postoperative pain will measured with visual-analogue scale (VAS). 1, 2, 6 months after surgery each patient will be called to assess neuropathic pain with Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI).
The purpose of this pilot randomized wait-list controlled trial is to test the efficacy of an online cognitive behavioral pain management website called Proactive Self-Management Program for Effects of Cancer Treatment (PROPSECT) to reduce worst pain intensity for individuals with chronic painful chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and to explore the mediating effect of PROSPECT-induced changes in anxiety, fatigue, depression, and sleep disturbance on worst pain intensity. Another aim of this study is to determine whether PROSPECT will decrease CIPN symptom severity (e.g. non-painful numbness and tingling), average pain severity, and physical impairment. Lastly, since this intervention has never been tested in individuals with painful CIPN, the investigators will assess patients' perceptions of acceptability and satisfaction with the intervention.
This study will examine the use of non-pharmacologic pain control techniques and pain-management counseling as an additional tool for reducing pain during first trimester aspiration abortion.
This is an open-label, long-term, multi-center multi-national post-marketing observational registry. The objective of this study is to monitor the long-term efficacy, safety, tolerability and quality of life outcomes associated with ziconotide (Prialt) and other analgesics utilized in the intrathecal (IT) management of severe chronic pain.
