Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether lornoxicam or paracetamol is more effective in providing pre-emptive analgesia for adult patients undergoing elective unilateral inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia.
Extended-release tramadol is indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain in adults who require around-the-clock treatment. It provides an extended duration of action, more constant plasma concentrations, a reduced dosing frequency, and the potential for improved compliance and therapeutic outcomes. The present study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this medication in the treatment of early postoperative pain after knee arthroscopy.
The purpose of the study is evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety profile of the Cox-2 specific analgesic Etoricoxib (arcoxia®) when administrated pre and postoperatively for controlling pain in adult patients undergoing thyroid surgery. Patients will be followed up in the immediate postoperative period, during the first postoperative (POD) day and in POD 2, 3 and 7. It is expected that with the addition of Etoricoxib, patients will experience less pain during the overall postoperative period and also a better quality of recovery when compared with the traditional analgesic regimen.
After major surgery, such as abdominal or thoracic surgery, the majority of patients experience moderate to severe pain that may not be optimally controlled. Inadequate pain relief may lead to complications that can hinder rehabilitation and slow recovery. Morphine (MO) is the most commonly used opioid for the treatment of post-surgical pain (14). The preferred method of administration nowadays is intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). In contrast, Continuous infusion of intravenous morphine (CIVM) is seldom used in Post-Anesthesia Care Units (PACUs) for acute postoperative pain, due to concerns of cardio-respiratory deterioration, even though different studies have found this technique of administration effective and safe (in terms of opioid-related symptoms.As part of our efforts to improve postoperative pain management in the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center's PACU, we wish to determine if combining CIVM with IV PCA will be superior over IV PCA only for the treatment of postoperative pain following major abdominal or thoracic surgery.Our hypothesis is that the continuous infusion, even if given at a relatively low dose, would enable the build-up of pharmacologically effective MO blood level, thus providing an overall better control of pain.
Since VAT bears with it severe postopearive pain, and since ketamine has been shown to be an optimal analgesics adjuvant for postoperative pain, we wish to assess to effects of ketamie vs. lidocaine if put on the skin in the sites where scopes are interset into the chest for thoracoscopy.
Double blind RCT comparing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy using warmed, humidified gas (new) against laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cool, dry gas (usual). Sample size of 200 patients. Outcome measures are postoperative opiate analgesia use, and post operative numerical pain scores.
The aim of this randomized, double-blind study is to compare parenteral pre-emptive oxycodone, morphine and dexamethasone with placebo in the treatment of postoperative pain in paediatric patients 4 to 12 years of age. The investigators hope to find out whether there are any differences in postoperative pain and/or adverse effects among these groups.
We wish to study which method of local injection of analgesic (before or during surgery) is the more effective method to reduce post-operative pain in children. In addition, we wish to study which pre-operative educational intervention is more effective in reducing anxiety in children and their family.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether using an additional 48 hours of oral naproxen, after other post-operative pain medications have been stopped, will be effective in reducing opiate pain medication requirements and contribute to improved pain management.
This double blinded, placebo controlled, study seeks to determine the efficacy of preoperative anti-inflammatory therapy on the reduction of postoperative pain in knee arthroplasty surgery. Pre-emptive use of NSAIDS has demonstrated only modest reduction in post-operative pain in previous studies. However, the short duration of dosing in those studies did not capitalized on the anti-inflammatory properties of NSAIDS. Short-term use of NSAIDS only provides pain relief and does not address inflammation. Traditional NSAIDS cannot be used preoperatively due to platelet effects. Celecoxib, however, is both an analgesic and anti-inflammatory, but does not interfere with bleeding. It can therefore be safely used before surgery. This study hypothesizes that the use of celecoxib for seven days preoperatively reduces postoperative inflammation and consequently pain. A detailed Medline search has not identified any studies into the preoperative use of an NSAID at a dosing level that achieves anti-inflammatory effects.If effective in reducing postoperative pain, this research could lead to a new understanding of the role inflammation plays in orthopedic procedures and other elective procedures and thus improve patient outcomes in the future.
