Filter by:Objectives: 1. To evaluate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine on postoperative pain levels. 2. To evaluate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine on postoperative opioid consumption and opioid related adverse events. 3. To evaluate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine on length of hospital stay. 4. To evaluate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine on patient satisfaction with postoperative pain control. 5. To evaluate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine on overall patient satisfaction.
This randomized, controlled, observer-blinded study clinical trial was designed to evaluate ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block with ropivacaine and periarticular infiltration with ropivacaine for postoperative pain management after total hip arthroplasty.
The association between low level laser and auricular acupuncture can be an alternative when conventional drugs are contraindicated or to reduce the quantity of these postoperative medications. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of low level laser at auriculotherapy points in reducing postoperative pain in lower third molar surgery. Eighty third molars surgeries will be performed in 40 healthy patients by a split-mouth design. Immediately after surgery, each side of the patient's mouth will be randomly treated with different regimens in a double-blind design: low level laser in auricular acupuncture points or simulation of its use. This treatment will be performed at 24 and 48 hours after surgery. The primary variable is the post-operative pain. The secondary variables are trismus, edema and local temperature. They will be assessed at baseline, 24 hours, 48 hours and seven days after surgery.The blood samples for analysis of systemic inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, interleukin 1, interleukin 6 and interleukin 8) will be assessed at baseline and 24 hours after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ketorolac sublingual with fentanyl intranasal used in our hospital for pain control in children undergoing bilateral myringotomy with placement of pressure equalization tubes (BMTs).
Open nephrectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in urologic practice. Pain after surgery remains a significant clinical problem as it impairs recovery adversely and may lead to the transition to chronic pain. The open approach represents a major physical trauma including postoperative pain and discomfort in the convalescence period. Adequate control of postoperative pain facilitates earlier mobilization and rehabilitation. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is effective to treat pain at rest, but seems to be inadequate for dynamic analgesia and may also elicit side effects that may delay hospital discharge. Preventing early and late postsurgical pain is an important challenge for anesthesiologists and surgeons. Ketamine (N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptor antagonist) and lidocaine (sodium channel blocker) are popular analgesic adjuvants for improving perioperative pain management. The investigators designed this double-blind, placebo controlled study to test and compare the preventive effects of perioperative intravenous ketamine and lidocaine on early and chronic pain after elective open nephrectomy. The investigators propose a double-blind placebo-controlled study of patients undergoing elective open nephrectomy. All patients will receive normal "patient-controlled analgesia morphine" in addition to study drugs or placebo. Research will be conducted at Charles Nicolle teaching hospital.
This clinical trial will examine differences in the effectiveness between three (3) commonly used methods and/or medications used to perform a transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block for post-operative pain control. The transversus abdominis muscle is either side between the lowest rib and the hip bone. Group A subjects will undergo post-operative pain relief treatment with a single injection of Bupivacaine injected into the TAP. Group B subjects will undergo post-operative pain relief treatment with a single injection of Exparel®, a liposomal form of bupivacaine into the TAP. Group C subjects will be treated with a continuous infusion of the local anesthetic ropivacaine with the ON-Q® pump. There will be no placebo group in this study.
This study hypothesizes that the addition of a low-dose ketamine infusion to usual post-operative pain management will improve pain control as evidenced by an improvement in post-operative pain scores for patients undergoing spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pain relief after infusion of ropivacaine at port sites at end of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC)compared with placebo (0.9% normal saline).
The purpose of this research study is to find out if taking Acetaminophen with Ibuprofen (e.g. Tylenol + Advil), a non-opioid regimen, provides the same type of pain relief after hand surgery compared to Acetaminophen and codeine (e.g. Tylenol 3), an opioid regimen.
Two regional anesthesia techniques already in use in common clinical practice -paravertebral block and pectoral nerve block (PECS block) are compared in a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, controlled, non-inferiority trial, in order to compare their success rate in patients udergoing breast surgery.
