Filter by:Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common surgical procedure aiming to improve mobility and quality of life in patients suffering from hip pain. Regional analgesia techniques are critical components of an optimal multimodal analgesia technique for THA, as they have been shown to improve pain relief as well as reduce opioid requirements. Ultrasound-guided suprainguinal fascia iliaca (SFI) block has been recommended as a reliable analgesic option for THA. However, SFI block may lead to decreased motor strength of the surgical limb thereby hindering postoperative mobilization. Recently, our group has developed a novel transmuscular quadratus lumborum and modified erector spinae plane (QLESP) block, which is characterized by simple operation, high efficiency, and wide dermatomal coverage of sensory block. In this randomized trial, we aimed to compare ultrasound-guided QLESP with SFI block as a component of non-opioid analgesic regimen in patients undergoing THA. The primary outcome of the study was postoperative sufentanil consumption within the initial 24-h postoperative period after THA. The secondary objectives were to compare pain scores, postoperative quadriceps strength, the time to first rescue analgesia, opioid-related adverse effects, time to ambulation, and the time to hospital discharge.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients who undergo cosmetic breast surgery and are treated preoperatively with gabapentin. The main questions to answer are the amount of postoperative pain on a scale of 0-10 and amount of opioids consumed postoperatively. Participants will be randomized into two groups: treatment vs no treatment. Treatment group will receive 600mg of gabapentin preopreatively. Researchers will compare treatment vs no treatment group to determine the effects of preoperative gabapentin on postoperative pain management and opioid consumption.
The goal of the present phase IIb clinical trial was to compare the safety and efficacy of the fixed-dose combination etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet (once a day, for three days) versus naproxen 220mg tablet plus tramadol 50 mg capsule in patients with acute postoperative pain after impacted third molar extraction. The main research question was: Is the analgesic efficacy of etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet non-inferior to naproxen 220 mg tablet + tramadol 50 mg capsule in a clinical model of moderate to severe acute pain? After informed consent, patients were randomly assigned to one of the two arms: test product (etoricoxib-tramadol 120mg/100mg tablet) or active comparator (naproxen 220mg tablet + tramadol 50 mg capsule). After surgery, patients were requested to start the treatment with study drugs (test product was administered once daily for three days; meanwhile reference drug was administered twice a day for three days). Investigators compared the effects of both treatments on pain intensity at different time frames using the visual analogue scale. Furthermore, the safety of investigational drugs was assessed during the study.
The search for new safe and effective methods of pain relief after surgery on large joints is still an urgent problem. The most optimal approach in the treatment of postoperative pain is the use of multimodal analgesia with a different mechanism of action that act on various mechanisms of pain and can include opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, anticonvulsants, NMDA antagonists, alpha-2-agonists, and sodium and calcium channel blocking agents, as well as local anesthetics. NSAIDs are the most popular and safe means for pain relief. Therefore, a lot of efforts are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of NSAIDs use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of simultaneously administering two or three NSAIDs, compared to using only one NSAID, for pain relief after surgery on large joints such as hip or knee arthroplasty.
Patients will be enrolled in one of the two groups using a computer-generated random number table: Group I will receive 1.5 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (7.5 mg). Group II will receive 1.2 mL of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (6 mg) along with 0.3 mL (3 μg )of dexmedetomidine (total 1.5 mL).
In patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, or VATS), moderate to severe post-operative pain may often be experienced. The presence of pain negatively affects the perceived quality of care and can predispose to complications, as the development of chronic pain. In order to prevent post-operative pain, different multimodal pain treatment protocols are applied, consisting in combinations of local-regional anesthesiological techniques and intravenous medications. Regional anesthesia is considered essential to prevent pain in the immediate post-operative period. However, to date, there is no agreement regarding which is the most effective regional anesthesiological technique; therefore, the choice is usually based on the Anesthetist's preferences. The aim of this study is to compare three regional anesthesiological techniques (cryoanalgesia, epidural anesthesia, and erector spinae muscle plane block) routinely used during thoracoscopic lung surgery.
The investigators will conduct a 12,500-patient randomized multi-center trial to determine (i) which general anesthesia technique yields superior patient recovery experiences in any of three surgical categories ((a) major inpatient surgery, (b) minor inpatient surgery, (c) outpatient surgery) and (ii) whether TIVA confers no more than a small (0.2 %) increased risk of intraoperative awareness than INVA in patients undergoing both outpatient and inpatient surgeries
As the opioid epidemic shows no sign of abating, this national crisis deserves careful attention from all medical subspecialties. This includes reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI), where opioids are primarily utilized for intraoperative and postoperative pain management for outpatient procedures such as oocyte retrievals, operative hysteroscopy, and laparoscopic myomectomy. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate whether or not the administration of rectal acetaminophen as an alternative analgesic at the completion of oocyte retrieval would reduce postoperative utilization of opioids (Tylenol with oxycodone) in fertility patients. This trial has the potential to provide practice-changing clinical information to the field of REI. The information gained can even translate to other ambulatory procedures and guide clinical practice. Primary objective of the study will be to identify the proportion of prescribed Acetaminophen and Narcotics utilized 3 days following oocyte retrieval.
Postoperative pain is an important problem, especially for day case surgeries. It has negative effects on patient's hemodynamics and can cause delayed ambulation resulting in prolonged duration of hospital stay and poor patient satisfaction. Multiple analgesic strategies have been proposed including NSAID, opioids, epidural analgesia. Each of them has its limitations. In this study the investigators will compare between the effect of preemptive use of paracetamol plus tramadol versus preemptive intravenous fentanyl in controlling postoperative pain
This study aims to evaluate the impact of locally applied hyaluronic acid on free gingival graft wound bed healing and palatal donor site wound healing. Forty subjects will be randomly divided in two separate groups. Test group will be treated with hyaluronic acid during the procedure and the control group without. Periodontal parameters and other clinical measurements will be taken on baseline, 7 days postoperative, 14 days postoperative, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperative.
