Filter by:Pectus excavatum is the most common chest wall deformity in children, accounting for 90% of all congenital chest wall deformities. It occurs in one to eight per 1000 live births. The severity of the pectus deformity may become more noticeable during pubertal growth spurs and repair is therefore usually performed in the teenage years. A common operative procedure to repair a pectus deformity is the minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE). The MIRPE involves the substernal placement of a contoured metal bar secured to the lateral aspect of the ribs. This metal bar allows for correction of the concave deformity by applying constant outward pressure to the underside of the sternum. Although the cosmetic results are excellent, patients do report significant pain from the constant pressure exerted on the chest wall from the metal bar. Pain management approaches tend to differ on both the provider and institutional level. There is a lack of evidence regarding which postoperative analgesia method is best. To address this research gap, this proposal aims to conduct a randomized controlled trail using the three most commonly used methods; 1) patient controlled analgesia (PCA); 2) erector spinae blocks (ESB) with continuous infusion pumps; and 3) video-assisted intercostal nerve cryoablation (INC).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new medical technology can help reduce post-operative total knee or hip pain when combined with a Cognitive-Behavioral intervention (CBI). This new medical technology, is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), it uses a very small amount of electricity to temporarily stimulate specific areas of the brain thought to be involved in pain reduction. The electrical current passes through the skin, scalp, hair, and skull and requires no additional medication, sedation, or needles. This study will investigate the effects of tDCS, the Cognitive-Behavioral (CB) intervention and their combination on pain among veterans following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). The Veteran may benefit in the form of decreased pain and opioid requirements following knee or hip replacement surgery. However, benefit is only likely if Veterans are randomized to one of the 3 (out of 4) groups. This study hopes to determine the effects of these interventions and combined effect on post-operative pain, opioid use and functioning during the 48-hour post-operative period following a total knee or hip replacement.
This is a randomized double-blinded placebo controlled trial to examine the use of rectal diazepam suppositories after major vaginal pelvic organ prolapse surgery will decrease postoperative pain in the interval between 3.5 and 6 hours postoperative compared to placebo.

Lidocaine is a drug that has multiple uses. One of these is that when intravenously administered it is effective in reducing post-operative pain. The aim of this study is to investigate the beneficial effects of intravenous lignocaine on reducing pain, nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Also, by this research, we are aiming to find a suitable alternative analgesic.
The study aim is to examine the relationship between providing information to women prior to elective cesarean delivery and anxiety levels around surgery. the patients will be assigned into two groups - intervention and control. In the intervention group - the day before surgery the women will watch a pre-prepared video showing in detail the course of events around the operation. the level of anxiety, pain level and Intake of Analgesics will be compared between the two groups
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain after cardiac surgery has high incidence and is associated with worse morbidity. Pregabalin is a new antiepileptic drug used in patients with chronic pain and has been studied even more in postoperative. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate whether preemptive pregabalin use compared with placebo decreases pain perception in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in the first 24 hours and 2 months after hospital discharge; evaluate analgesic consumption in the immediate postoperative period; evaluate differences in blood gas parameters between groups; evaluate anesthetic recovery by QoR-40; assess incidence of serious adverse events (reintubation and mental confusion); incidence of delirium through the CAM-ICU questionnaire; assess adverse drug events (nausea, vomiting, pharmacodermia, allergic reactions). METHOD: Randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. EXPECTED RESULTS: Postoperative pain control with a drug that could cause fewer side effects, may lead to faster clinical improvement, fewer medications and fewer procedures, and lower healthcare costs with a decrease in intensive care unit (ICU) stay.
This study evaluates the influence of the transversus abdominis plane block on the intensity of postoperative pain and the concentration of proinflammatory and pain factors after hysterectomy by laparotomy. The patients will be randomized in three groups.In the first group, patients will receive intravenous, systemic, multimodal analgesia.In the second group there will be patients in who will be given the TAP block. The TAP block will be given postoperatively before waking. It will be given bilaterally in the before mentioned anatomic region (the so-called lateral TAP block). In the third group there will be patients who will be treated with TAP block in addition to systemic, mutimodal analgesia. The research will be based on completing a questionnaire (VAS scale and QoR questionnaire) and taking peripheral blood out. We expect that the concentration of proinflammatory and pain factors in patients treated with a TAP block will be lower and the quality of recovery will be better than that of patients receiving standard analgesic therapy (systemic multimodal analgesia).
Postcraniotomy pain remains a common phenomenon in the neurosurgery field. Managements for postcraniotomy pain are to be standardised and optimized. In the proposed study, the investigators aim to provide a novel regional non-invasive prophylactic strategy for postcraniotomy pain by utilizing Lidocaine 5% plaster.
