Filter by:Interscalene brachial plexus block constitutes the analgesic criterion standard for shoulder surgery. However, it is associated with a high incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP) that may not be tolerated by patients with chronic pulmonary disease. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will compare ultrasound-guided interscalene block (ISB) and costoclavicular infraclavicular block (CCICB) in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The main outcome is static pain at 30 minutes after arrival in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) as measured by a numerical rate scale (NRS) from 0 to 10. Our research hypothesis is that interscalene and costoclavicular infraclavicular blocks will result in equivalent postoperative analgesia at 30 minutes in the PACU. The equivalence margin is set at 2 points.
Pre-existing pain and severe postoperative pain are predictors of persistent pain after surgery, but a complete understanding on the development of persistent pain is still lacking. The study aims to identify clinically relevant and genetic risk factors for persistent postsurgical pain that can be reliably distinguished statistically.
An inguinal hernia is one of the most common disorders requiring surgical repair in pediatrics. The effective treatment of postoperative pain in infants and children is challenging. Although the use of opioid analgesics is generally safe, adverse effects occur frequently, so the use of alternative analgesic techniques when available to improve postoperative analgesia while limiting opioid-related adverse effects, that is why there is an increase in the use of regional anesthetic techniques in infants and children.
The purpose of this study is to measure whether CPM (continuous passive motion) usage improves outcomes following arthroscopic hip surgery that includes labral repair. Investigators tested the hypothesis that CPM usage reduces pain levels and pain medication use and improves function in individuals who undergo hip arthroscopy.
Comparison of two types of analgesia after cesarean section All patients will be anesthetized with spinal technique. Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane or quadratus lumborum block to treat postoperative pain. Postoperative pain will be measured with visual-analog scale (VAS). 1, 2, 6 months after surgery each patient will be called to assess neuropathic pain with Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI).
Patient's pain level and narcotic requirements will be evaluated after routine outpatient Otolaryngology procedures. This will be done by having study participants record their pain level and medication usage from home.
To compare the duration of analgesic efficacy as determined by the time to rescue medication of a single oral dose of naproxen sodium 440 mg (2 x 220 mg tablets) relative to ibuprofen 400 mg (2 x 200 mg tablets) and placebo over 24 hours in subjects experiencing moderate to severe post-impaction surgery dental pain. To compare the overall analgesic effect (SPID 0-24) of a single dose of naproxen sodium 440 mg (2 x 220 mg tablets) relative to ibuprofen 400 mg (2 x 200 mg tablets) and placebo. To compare the overall relief from pain (TOTPAR 0-24) of a single dose of naproxen sodium 440 mg (2 x 220 mg tablets) relative to ibuprofen 400 mg (2 x 200 mg tablets) and placebo.
Objective of the study is to compare three different analgesic techniques in patients undergoing laparoscopic colon resections: peridural catheter, patient controlled analgesia of endovenous morphine and patient controlled analgesia of sufentanil sublingual tablets.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a widely employed procedure in ambulatory surgery. Pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy arises significantly from port site incisions in the anterior abdominal wall. Innervation of the anterior abdominal wall is segmentally supplied by pain afferents in the plane of fascia between transversus abdominis and the internal oblique muscles. Opioids analgesia is used to control postoperative pain, but it carries the risk of increased nausea and vomiting, ileus and sedation that may delay hospital discharge. Several techniques have been tried as.neuroaxial narcotics, intraperitoneal lavage of local anesthetic and transversus abdominis plan (TAP) block and successfully reduced opioid use and improve postoperative analgesia. The ultrasound-guided erector spinae plan(ESP) block is a recently described technique which produces reliable unilateral analgesia at thoraco-lumbar dermatomes. ESP block carries the advantages of being simple, safe, easily recognizable by ultrasound, and a catheter can be threaded to extend the duration of analgesia. Few case series reported the efficacy of (US)-guided ESP blocks in reducing postoperative pain and opioids consumption. Because of that, the investigators aimed to test the hypothesis that US-guided ESP blocks can decrease opioid consumption during the first 24 h after of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in comparison with the conventional systemic analgesia.
The operation of the lower third molars is one of the most common oral surgery procedures in the world. The surgery is mostly done in local anesthesia which makes the surgery as pleasant as possible for the patient. In addition to anesthesia control, it is also extremely important to insure postoperative pain control since that is the nuisance that patients are most likely to complain about after oral surgery. It has been noticed that magnesium added to local anesthetics can improve and prolong its effect, but also reduce postoperative pain and accelerate recovery. It can also be used as an auxiliary to control pain and inflammation, which is why we will use it in this study, because we have not been able to find magnesium data in the literature for the removal of the lower third molars. Studies that have already been conducted with oral magnesium are for the purpose of preventing asthma, migraine, for reducing mood swings in PMS, reducing pain after endotracheal intubation, and many others. Removal by using operative procedure is the only way to remove lower third molars. The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the influence of the orally received magnesium citrate (before and after surgical removal of the lower third molar) on the quality and duration of the anesthetic block and also its effect on postoperative pain control. Other specific objectives are to investigate the effect of pre/postoperatively received magnesium on: 1. swelling stage after surgery. 2. time occurrence and duration of anesthesia. 3. trismus stage after the operative procedure. 4. the total amount of analgetics taken after surgery Benefits for the respondents will be in the assumption that the anesthetic block of the mandibular nerve will last longer with better quality, thus making the surgical procedure more pleasant and that the overall postoperative pain will be lessened and recovery faster in the magnesium citrate group. We also assume that in the magnesium citrate group trismus will be less pronounced and that swelling in postoperative days will be smaller.
