Filter by:Postoperative pain, the quality of their recovery and the opioid consumption following a midurethral sling placement are being compared between 2 groups. One group will have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted liposomal bupivacaine solution. The other group will have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted bupivacaine HCL and Lidocaine solution.
Midline laparotomy is commonly used in emergency and elective cancer surgery and patients need effective and safe pain treatment after this type of surgery. Nowadays modern anticoagulant therapy may prevent use of central regional blocks in pain management. Therefore in the present study the efficacy and safety of rectus sheath analgesia is studied using different administration techniques. The primary aim is the efficacy of the rectus sheath analgesia measured with pain ratings and the amount rescue opioid used. Secondary aims were concentrations of local anesthetic, rescue opioid and satisfaction to analgesia method used.
Spinal surgery is associated with intense pain and associated to a history of preoperative chronic pain. Pregabalin is licensed to treat chronic neuropathic pain, particularly when high dose of opioid are required. Preoperative pain is associated with high postoperative pain scores and opioid requirement promoting persistent hyperalgesic state. The investigators will evaluate the postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores in patients scheduled for lumbar surgery and taking pregabalin since more than 15 days and compare with preoperative pregabalin-free patient that will receive pregabalin only during surgery.
The objective of this randomized double-blind study was to evaluate the effect of betamethasone in the control of postoperative pain in patients undergoing endodontic treatment.
Prospective monocentric double-blind controlled randomised trial Aim is to assess prolonged postsurgical analgesia by intravenous dexamethasone versus intravenous placebo, after ultrasound guided axillary brachial plexus block
This study investigates the role of acupuncture in controlling post-operative pain in patients who have undergone gynecological surgery.
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block provides effective analgesia and is now a standard of care for analgesia after cesarean section. There is no information on levobupivacaine pharmacokinetics post TAP after pregnancy. Objective: Generate a pharmacokinetic levobupivacaine model and its effect on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Method: The investigators will study 12 healthy term pregnant patients, scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. A bilateral TAP block is performed with 20 ml 0.25% levobupivacaine with epinephrine 5 ug/ml. Sensory block will be assessed at 1-2-6 and 12 hours post puncture. 2 ml of venous blood will be obtained at 2-5-10-30-45-60-90 and 180 minutes. With a Holter machine we will study the effect of levobupivacaine plasma levels and the QTc changes. Expected results: 1) Plasma levobupivacaine levels; 2) Changes in QTc .
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common accepted surgical operation with lower morbidity all over the world for gallstone. Although it has low morbidity, postoperative pain is challenging situation like every other operation.
This study evaluate the effects of scalp block versus local infiltration on haemodynamic response to head pin replacement and skin incision and postoperative analgesia in posterior fossa surgery
Objectives: To examine the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with auricular acupuncture (AA) in reducing post-operative pain in patients following abdominal surgery for gynecological diseases. Hypothesis: Acupuncture is effective and safe to reduce postoperative pain during the first 5 days following surgery as compared to a sham control. Design and strategy: This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, subject- and assessor-blind trial. Seventy-two subjects will be recruited and randomized (in 1:1 ratio) to receive either acupuncture treatment or sham control. Subjects in both groups will undergo standard operation procedure and receive post-operative analgesics based on usual care. Study instrument: A 10-point pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) will be employed as a primary outcome assessment. Intervention: Subjects in the treatment group will receive EA combined with AA within two hours before operation, post-operation upon arrival to the ward and once a day for the subsequent 5 days. Subjects in the control group will receive non-invasive sham procedure in the same schedule. Main outcome measures: Primary outcome: NRS pain scores will be measured upon recovery, hourly at 6 hours after surgery, then 4-hourly until day 2, 6-hourly until day 3 and once daily until discharge. Secondary outcome: Morphine consumption, post-operative syndromes, quality of recovery questionnaire, SF-6D, EQ-5D-5L and adverse events will be documented and compared between groups. Data analysis: Pain intensity during the first 5 days will be calculated by Area Under the Curve (AUC) of NRS pain scores. AUC between the two groups will be compared by Student's T-test. Expected outcome: AUC of the acupuncture group is expected to be significantly lower than sham acupuncture group.
