Filter by:The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness/meditation using the Headspace App on post-operative pain and opioid consumption in patients after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, biceps tenodesis, and Mumford procedures.
To evaluate the efficacy of ACP-044 compared with placebo in the treatment of acute postoperative pain
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
The research will be carried out in order to test the effect of Intramuscular (IM) Diclofenac, administered as preemptive analgesic with minimal effective dose spinal anesthesia in perianal surgeries, on prolonging the time to first request for analgesic and lowering analgesic consumption. Investigators hypothesized that using IM Diclofenac in this surgery will postpone the time to first analgesic request and will decrease the consumption of post-operative analgesics. Our method includes dividing the patients into control and study groups and recording the first analgesic request and post-operative analgesic consumption after surgery and comparing the results.
Cardiac and orthopedic surgeries are frequent procedures. However, pain after a major surgery may become chronic (lasting >3 months) in adults. Once discharged from the hospital, patients are at risk for chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) and prolonged opioid use, as they become isolated with high levels of pain. Psychological risk and protective factors such as pain-related catastrophic thoughts and pain acceptance will determine their ability to cope and their opioid use, which makes a support for pain self-management crucial. There is limited research on psychological interventions for pain in the subacute/rehabilitation phase after major surgery. Further, these interventions are demanding and not tailored. Previous work from the Principal Investigator in the acute/hospitalization phase shows that a brief, Web-based intervention tailored to modifiable psychological factors may modulate these and reduce postoperative pain interference. Recently, studies on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) have multiplied regarding their potential effect on pain acceptance and catastrophic thoughts. Brief, Web-based MBCT for the prevention of CPSP have not been examined. Therefore, a pilot test of a 4-week tailored, Web-based MBCT intervention for adults in the rehabilitation phase will be conducted by 1) assessing the acceptability/feasibility of the intervention; and 2) examining preliminary effects on pain intensity and pain interference with activities, as well as pain acceptance and catastrophic thoughts. This research is significant because it targets the trajectory of CPSP, a leading cause of disability and opioid misuse. This approach is innovative because it promotes pain self-management through the modulation of individual factors. If successful, the intervention could be expanded to numerous populations at risk for chronic pain.
Comparison of the effectiveness: Quadratus lumborum (QL) block by levobupivacaine with placebo.
Although radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has proven to be an effective treatment, the effectiveness of the treatment has so far been controversial. There are no studies using rESWT in rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Therefore, in this study, there is evidence that rESWT promotes pain control and healing recovery, and through previous studies, we would like to investigate whether treatment with rESWT during the intensive rehabilitation period of patients after ARCR is more effective in controlling pain.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on postoperative pain, fatigue, and vital signs in patients with head and neck cancers.
The study will compare recovery profile in children receiving pudendal blocks vs caudal analgesia for ambulatory circumcision or hypospadias repair in children between 6 months and 2 years. The subjects of the study will be randomized to receive either a caudal or a pudendal block.
The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after Lichtenstein repair of groin hernia, depending on mesh type and fixation suture material. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).
