Filter by:This will be a prospective, randomized controlled trial with patients randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group will be exposed to the independent variable (IV) and the control group will not be exposed to the IV. The IV will be a music therapist- designed listening program during surgery. A total of 60 patients will be consecutively enrolled and undergo block randomization to either a music listening group or a control group (no music). Trained medical research personnel will assist with various parts of the study and will be defined as those individuals who have completed and are up-to-date on the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) training. These individuals will consist of a board certified music therapist, practicing ophthalmologists, and physicians-in-training.
Pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with delayed recovery, impaired mobility, increased morbidity, longer hospital stay and greater cost. Adductor canal block has recently been shown to improve the pain control of patients following TKA. It is not known whether a single shot technique or a continuous catheter-based infusion technique provides optimal analgesia. The investigators hypothesize that a continuous technique would provide better analgesia and permit patients to achieve objective measures of recovery following TKA than a single shot technique.
Comparison of continuous adductor canal block to continuous femoral nerve block in patients after total knee arthroplasty. All patients will be anesthetized with spinal anesthesia. Continuous infusion of ropivacaine with a catheter implemented to the adductor canal or next to the femoral nerve. The observed goals: pain intensity, the beginning and quality of rehabilitation.
The aim of this retrospective study was to compare immediate postoperative pain scores and the need for rescue analgesia in children who underwent pulpotomies and general restorative treatment and those who underwent general restorative treatment only, all under general anaesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to investigate and describe the anatomical differences in distribution of the blocked area following a perineural LFCN (Lateral Femoris Cutaneous Nerve) block with either 8 ml or 16 ml of Ropivacaine, in relation to incision lines used in THA (Total Hip Arthroplasty). Furthermore, we examine any loss of motor function in Musculus Quadriceps due to posible involvement of the Femoral Nerve. This trial will be conducted in healthy volunteers, as a blinded, randomized, paired trial.
A randomized prospective trial to assess whether the use of loco regional anesthesia as adjuvant analgesic therapy is more effective of intravenous analgesia only.
Randomized, open label, controlled pilot clinical study comprised hospitalized post operative patients receiving oral analgesics. The study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and usability of a novel pill dispensing system - PCoA™ Acute and compare it to the conventional procedure of nurse providing analgesics.
Adequate pain therapy is important aspect of perioperative care. Sequelae of inadequate pain management are patient dissatisfaction, post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), inadequate nutrition, lack of mobilization, and an increased risk for the development of further complications, such as postoperative delirium (POD). The use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) systems, which allow patients to self-administer analgesics, has improved pain management. Conventional i.v. PCA and the non-invasive administration of sufentanil sublingual tablets (ZALVISO®) are available. The aim of this investigation is to study patient controlled analgesia systems and to examine the incidence of POD, POCD and postoperative pain.
Kidney transplant is the most effective choice of treatment for patients with end-stage kidney failure in terms of quality of life and longevity. Today, 20-25% of kidney transplantations are implemented with living donors. Donor nephrectomy is an operations which has the end goal of a living donor donating one of his kidneys to a patient with end-stage kidney failure (1). Pre-operative anxiety is a condition which is characterized by a random illness, being hospitalised, anesthesia, surgery, or uneasiness or anxiety stemming from not knowing what is to be experienced. Educating and informing in the pre-operative period is the first step in mentally preparing the patient for the operation. In some studies, it has been pointed out that patients who were thoroughly informed in the pre-operative period have lower anxiety levels both in the pre-operative and post-operative periods with also less levels of pain and increased recovery rates in the latter (2). Anesthetic recovery starts at the end of the surgical process and ends with the anesthetized patient completely regaining a wide-awake, responsive state, defensive reflex, and muscle strength. Post-operative pain is acute pain which starts with surgical trauma and ends with tissue healing (3). Providing optimal post-operative analgesia plays an important role in the prevention of post-operative complications (1,4,5). There are studies which examine the link between pre-operative anxiety and post-operative pain (59,74,74,77,78). Patients who will undergo a donor nephrectomy constitute a specific group of patients both because they are not operated due to a health problem that they have and because the operation results with them losing an organ. There are no prospective studies about the effects of pre-operative anxiety on anesthetic recovery and post-operative pain in individuals who have undergone donor nephrectomy in literature. Because of this, we have aimed to research prospectively the effects of pre-operative anxiety on anesthetic recovery and post-operative pain in patients that were to undergo donor nephrectomy surgery.
The study aims to investigate the effect of the popliteal plexus block (PPB) on postoperative pain in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
