Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of placing numbing medication around the cervix prior to performing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery in decreasing pain after surgery. The study focuses on laparoscopic hysterectomies and robotic-assisted myomectomies. It will assess whether patients who receive the medication experience less pain and require less pain medication post operatively and if it helps reduce the number of patients who require hospitalization for pain control following surgery.
There will be two groups in this study: one group will be given the standard infusion of naloxone, a drug which helps reduce side effects from opioids needed after surgery, and the other group will receive a higher dose. The trial is designed to determine if a higher dose of naloxone infusion will reduce side effects from opioid therapy in patients who have undergone spine fusion for scoliosis.
The investigators are testing to see if infusion of bupivicaine between the mesh and abdominal wall can reduce postoperative pain and decrease use of narcotics in the postoperative setting.
The aim of the present study is the comparison of the efficacy of the perioperative application of a multimodal analgesia model to the patients, combing common used analgesics via intravenous (IV) route, such as tramadol and ketamine, with or without the Electroacupuncture (E/A) technique application and the frequency of side effects accession.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether spinal anesthesia is superior to the standard general anesthesia or not for patients undergoing transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TAPP).
There is a considerable lack of knowledge in everyday surgical practice concerning treatment with a corset after laparotomy, in surgery for incisional hernia or as conservative treatment. The aims are to elucidate effects of corset treatment on patient experience and pain, physiology and abdominal wall strength. Effects of corset treatment after laparotomy will be studied in a randomised trial with the hypothesis that postoperative corset-use improves respiratory physiology and reduce pain. The primary end-point is PeakCoughFlow change, secondary end-points are vital capacity, residual volumes and patient perception as measured by the ventral hernia pain questionnaire (VHPQ) developed by our group. This study is powered for 50 patients. Conclusions from the study are of such a nature that they can be immediately transferred to clinical practice.
Studies evaluating intraperitoneal local anesthetic instillation for pain relief after laparoscopic procedures have provided conflicting results. This randomized, double-blind study was designed to assess the effects of a novel intraperitoneal local anesthetic administration technique using nebulization on pain relief after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
The investigators hypothesize that a spinal anesthetic administered prior to the induction of general anesthesia will result in reduced need for pain medication and reduced postoperative pain, as well as reduced hospital stay following a total abdominal hysterectomy.
The treatment of postoperative pain continues to be inadequate in the investigators practice setting. Inadequate pain treatment not only contributes to postoperative complications in the short term but can also be a factor that favors the development of chronic postoperative pain and diminishes long-term quality of life. Risk factors that can lead to a transition to chronic pain need to be analyzed.
Pain is a major problem after TKA. Gabapentin may reduce acute postoperative pain. The investigators therefore investigate the effect of Gabapentin as a perioperative analgesic.
