Filter by:In the post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) management, physical therapy intervention is an important factor in bringing about a clinically positive prognosis. However, no conclusive therapeutic evidence has been found for various physical therapy interventions. In this study, the investigators would like to investigate the effects of physical therapy interventions on ARCR patients.
The study is a randomized controlled trial investigating a multimodal postoperative pain management protocol which will include use of ice therapy and scheduled opioid-sparing medications for pain control after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
pills go unused, generating waste and leaving an opportunity for misuse and abuse. In a recent study, researchers let patients choose what medications to go home with after surgery. After their thyroid or parathyroid surgery, 96% of patients declined narcotic pain medication. They preferred to manage their pain with acetaminophen instead. Giving patients counseling and empowering them to choose significantly reduces the amount of opioids prescribed and wasted. The aim of our study is to compare a similar "opt-in" protocol for narcotics to usual care (where patients are routinely discharged with opioids). We would elaborate upon the aforementioned study by studying patient pain scores on a more granular level once they return home. Our study will be designed as a randomized, controlled trial. When adult patients consent for a thyroid or parathyroid surgery, they will be asked to participate in the study. Patients who are currently using narcotics would be excluded. We would then randomize participants to the "opt-in" protocol versus being provided with a standard opioid prescription after surgery. Patients in the opt-in protocol will be recommended a pain treatment regimen with over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. These patients will be reassured that if their pain is uncontrolled after discharge, a narcotic prescription will be called in to their pharmacy if requested. We will assess patient pain scores and medication use in the recovery area using the electronic medical record. We will collect data on patient pain scores and medication use after discharge on a daily basis via phone call or electronically transmitted survey. We will also evaluate patients at the time of their follow-up visits. Any patient phone calls will be routed to study personnel who will fill narcotic prescription requests if requested. Finally, among patients who do receive an opioid prescription, we will track their opioid consumption.
Patients undergoing total shoulder arthroscopic adhesiolysis may experience severe postoperative pain. Inadequate pain management can result in unfavourable hospital outcomes and the development of persistent neuropathic manifestation the aim of the study is to compare both ultrasound techniques (combined individual nerve block to interscalene nerve block) as regards the postoperative analgesic effect and shoulder range of movement.
Fractures of the femur are common orthopaedic emergency especially in the geriatric population and central neuraxial blocks are the preferred technique for providing anaesthesia. However, limb immobility and extreme pain are the deterrents for ideal positioning for these procedures. postoperative pain is a nightmare so adequate analgesia has been advocated to reduce the pain. in this study, Facia Iliaca compartment block will be compared to anterior Quadratus lumborum block, both will be done Ultrasound-guided using Bupivacain0.25% for postoperative analgesia at the end of the surgery.
During the rehabilitation process after rotator cuff repair surgery, patients suffer from increased pain and discomfort due to dysfunction. Pain neuroscience education, a more modern educational method, has been reported to be effective in controlling pain by reducing the fear of movement based on an understanding of neurophysiology.
This study aims to investigate if the combination of metamizole and paracetamol is superior in reducing post-operative pain on day 1 after ambulatory shoulder surgery where the use of NSAIDs is prohibited compared to paracetamol treatment. Therefore, a monocenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled superiority trial will be designed to investigate the superiority of the combination of metamizole and paracetamol compared to paracetamol treatment in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery with tendon repair.
The aim of this randomised controlled and double-blind study, is to compare the effects of erector spinae plane (ESP) and thoracic epidural (TEA) blocks on peri-operative hemodynamics and analgesia in patients undergoing unilateral mastectomies due to malignancy.
Observational study to assess efficacy of IV ketamine bolus when used in the post anesthesia recovery unit for uncontrolled pain despite use of opioids.
The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the incidence, intensity and duration of postoperative pain following the removal of root canal obturation materials canals using rotary (ProTaper Universal or Hyflex EDM) or reciprocating file (Reciproc Blue or WaveOne Gold) systems. The null hypothesis tested was that there is no difference in postoperative pain following the retreatment procedure between the four systems used.
