Filter by:The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy of intravenous administration of ibuprofen compared to placebo in patients with postoperative pain and evaluate its tolerability and safety profile.
The addition of dexamethasone (DxaM) to local anesthetic may significantly prolong the duration of a block in total knee arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to determine whether this is a systemic or local effect.
Comparition the analgesic effects of intravenous naproksen sodyum+codein with that of paracetamol+codein on postoperative pain and contramal consumption during the first 24 hour after a lumbar disk surgery.
The purpose of this research is to determine the pain-reducing effects of ketamine (Ketalar, an FDA-approved drug for anesthesia) and methadone (Dolophine, a long-acting narcotic) after lumbar laminectomy. The investigators would like to evaluate whether intraoperative use of both drugs may be able to provide better control of pain after lumbar surgery.
The purpose of this study is to define if intravenous paracetamol may improve analgesia and outcome in pediatric surgical patients treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) postoperatively. Hypothesis: intravenous paracetamol in a dose 60 mg/kg/24 h IV, given in addition to IV ketoprofen (4,5 mg/kg/24h), improves analgesia and physical recovery in children and adolescents following surgery.
Using routinely collected data to compare different concentrations of locally applied anaesthetic drugs and determine which concentrations give better pain control during voluntary medical Male circumcision.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate post-op pain requirements in patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery who perioperatively receive either Oral acetaminophen or IV acetaminophen
Postoperative hyperalgesia has been reported after intraoperative administration of small or high-dose remifentanil. Cyclooxygenase inhibitor exhibit preventive effects on the development of opioid-induced hyperalgesia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the preventive effect of intravenous ibuprofen (Caldolor®) on remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia
The proper control of acute and chronic pain is one of the most important areas in health care. Despite the profound advances in neuroscience over the past 20 years, the investigators still largely use opiate narcotics, much as was done in the Civil War. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common orthopedic procedures performed 1. While knee pain is often a complaint that precedes TKA, the procedure itself is associated with considerable post-operative pain lasting days to weeks. Adequate postoperative pain control is an important factor in determining recovery time and hospital length of stay. New analgesic strategies are needed that can be used adjunctively to existing strategies with the potential to reduce reliance on opioid analgesia. Several novel brain stimulation technologies including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are beginning to demonstrate promise as treatments for a variety of pain conditions. Electricity has no metabolite or other residue, and can be delivered with minimal discomfort and without problems associated with drug-drug interactions. In two independent preliminary pilot studies, the Investigators have shown that tDCS can reduce post-operative PCA use by as much as 46% while simultaneously reducing subjective pain ratings. The present study aims to determine the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on post-operative pain, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) use, and post-surgical complications during the 48-hour post-operative period following total knee arthroplasty.
The analgesic properties of ketamine are associated with its non-competitive antagonism of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor; these receptors exhibit an excitatory function on pain transmission and this binding seems to inhibit or reverse the central sensitization of pain. In the literature, the value of this anesthetic for preemptive analgesia in the control of postoperative pain is uncertain. The objective of this study was to ascertain whether preoperative low-dose ketamine reduces postoperative pain and morphine consumption in adults undergoing colon surgery. In a double-blind, randomized trial, 48 patients were studied. Patients in the ketamine group received 0.5 mg/kg intravenous ketamine before surgical incision, while the control group received normal saline. The postoperative analgesia was achieved with a continuous infusion of morphine at 0.015 mg∙kgˉ¹∙hˉ¹ with the possibility of 0.02 mg/kg bolus every 10 min. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), morphine consumption, and hemodynamic parameters at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours postoperatively. We quantified times to rescue analgesic (Paracetamol), adverse effects and patient satisfaction.
