Filter by:Chronic Pain after Cholecystectomy is a well known problem. One theory is that it is due to persisting inflammation. The purpose of the study is to measure inflammatory factors in cerebrospinal fluid and blod at patients 12 months after the operation. DNA-samples are collected to examine genetical factors, important for perception of pain, and the development of chronic pain.
The first hypothesis of the study is that substituting fentanyl by esmolol and metoprolol during general anesthesia for patients undergoing mastectomy will result in less pain and less narcotic consumption in the recovery room. The investigators will also verify the impact of that substitution on nausea and vomiting, on the time spent in the recovery room and on chronic postsurgical pain (3 and 6 months). Finally, the investigators will see the impact on breast cancer recurrence 5 years after the surgery.
Persistent pain, sensory disturbances, lymphedema and functional impairment are frequently occurring late effects of breast cancer treatment. The investigators have previously published data on 3253 women treated for breast cancer in Denmark in the period 2005-2006. Very few studies have examined how these late effects change in time. The aim of this study is to examine in a well defined patient population any change in the prevalence of persistent pain, sensory disturbances, lymphedema and functional impairment, as well as risk factor profile.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Indomethacin [Test] Capsules are safe and effective for the treatment of postoperative bunionectomy pain.
intraperitoneal nebulisation with magnesuim sulphate will reduce post operative pain and analgesic consumption in postoperative period following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The primary aim of this randomized, double-blind study is to examine the effect of a single intraoperative dose of methadone on postoperative pain and analgesic requirements in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. These patients will be compared to subjects receiving a standard dose of the "traditional" intraoperative opioid (fentanyl). Secondary outcome measures to be assessed will include standard recovery variables (such as length of postoperative intubation, ICU length of stay, incidence of nausea or vomiting, level of sedation). In addition, patients will be assessed for the development of chronic postoperative pain.
The investigators investigated whether a strictly controlled pain management with patients participating in a clinical study can attenuate persistence of post-thoracotomy pain. The investigators also wanted to find out whether NSAID + intravenous patient-controlled analgesia with morphine is an efficacious alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System/15 mcg to the Placebo Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System for the management of acute moderate to severe post-operative pain after open abdominal surgery.
The study is intended to show that the Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System is as effective as morphine intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) for treating pain after surgery. Each patient will use either the Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System or morphine IV PCA to treat their pain for at least 48 hours and up to 72 hours after surgery while in the hospital.
The purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of paravertebral block with that of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia after video assisted thoracic surgery.
