Filter by:Postoperative pain is a common symptom of a flare up after root canal treatments (RCTs). Insufficient instrumentation, extrusion of irrigation solutions and debris and existence of a periapical lesion are the factors affecting postoperative pain after root canal treatments. Aim of this study is to evaluate the postoperative pain and instrumentation time of single-file reciprocating system and multiple-file Ni-Ti rotary system in children ages between 9-12. Study was conducted on fifty first permanent mandibular molars with the diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis. Patients were randomly separated into two groups and RCTs were completed with either Reciproc Blue or Protaper Next file systems. Instrumentation time for each system was noted and patients were given a pain scale which included visual analog scale for 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. Postoperative pain scores and instrumentation times were analyzed statistically with chi square test and student t test. There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative pain between Reciproc Blue and Protaper Next systems at all time intervals. Instrumentation time was significantly shorter in the Reciproc Blue group in comparison with the Protaper Next group. In conclusion, shorter treatment time of single-file reciprocating systems may be more patient friendly and comfortable than multiple-file rotary systems in RCTs among children.
This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial seeks to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of the pericapsular nerve group block in the setting of outpatient hip arthroscopy.
The main aim of this research is to compare the functional recovery after discharge with the preoperative physical activity as a hypothesis generating study.
A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- and Comparator-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Combination Pregabalin and Acetaminophen Compared to Acetaminophen and Placebo in Subjects Undergoing Bunionectomy
The study examines the efficacy of Marcaine in post-operative pain reduction for patients receiving breast reduction surgery. Patients who consent will be randomized to which breast receives a Marcaine injection and the other breast will have saline injected. Pain will be assessed one time post-operatively using a 1-10 pain scale.
Laminoplasty and laminectomy are useful surgical procedures for the management of various conditions pertaining the spinal cord such as myelopathy, radiculopathy, neoplasm, stenosis, disc herniation, hematoma, abscess, traumatic injuries, etc. Both are generally effective procedures that decompress the spinal cord by expanding the space available for the spinal cord. Both procedures provide good neural decompression and functional improvement after surgery, thereby preventing catastrophic cord injury. However, patients undergoing these procedures experience severe pain in the postoperative period; this may lead to the increase in postoperative morbidity and complications. Suboptimal analgesic therapy causes discomfort to the patient and could increase the incidence of postoperative complications, prolong hospital stay and increase health expenses. The extensive exposure to multiple levels in spine surgeries lead to postoperative pain caused by muscular dissection and requires adequate pain relief to hasten rehabilitation, so that the incidence of chronic pain is significantly decreased. This pain is usually treated with intramuscular, epidural or IV-PCA (Intravenous- Patient Controlled Analgesia) opioids. Several oral analgesics, intermittent intravenous and intramuscular injections and PCA with several systemic side effects, have long been used for the control of postoperative pain. In 1953, Lewis et al. established that local infiltration is a reliable pain relief technique for postoperative pain, with the advantages of safety, simplicity and low cost. The intraoperative injection of 40 mg of methylprednisolone via the intra-buccal approach into the masseter muscle has found to have significantly reduced swelling, trismus and postoperative pain associated with the surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars. A single, preoperative dose of Methylprednisolone 125 mg IV before Total Knee Arthroplasty led to improvement of postoperative analgesia and immediate recovery, when combined with an extensive, multimodal oral and local infiltration analgesic regime. Preemptive administration of bupivacaine or bupivacaine plus methylprednisolone to the paravertebral muscles in patients undergoing lumbar discectomy has been proved to provide effective analgesia in the early postoperative period, when compared to patients who received no local anesthetic or steroid. The infiltration of levobupivacaine and bupivacaine plus methylprednisolone in single distance-single site, lumbar disc surgery established that postoperative analgesic requirement was significantly lower and the first analgesia demand time was also significantly later in the local anesthesia plus methylprednisolone group, compared to the control group. A randomized controlled trial of a larger scale, with a longer follow-up period, could provide a more significant data. Therefore this study has been designed as a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) study with a 1 month follow-up period, to compare the efficacy of methylprednisolone plus ropivacaine versus ropivacaine alone, administered before wound closure, for providing analgesia after laminoplasty and laminectomy.
Serum cytokines was assosiated with symptoms and progression of osteoartritis. It is unknown whether these cytokines have a predictive role on severity of symptoms after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or not. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between the preoperative serum cytokine level (SCL) and lenght of stay in hospital, postoperative pain intensity, functional status, joint position sense and X ray. Grade 4 osteoartritis degeneration who intern the hospital for total knee arthroplasty surgery. Serum Cytokine Levels (IL-6, TNFα, IL-1β) will be assessed before surgery. Pain intensity at rest/activity and valgite angle will be evaluated before surgery, postoperative 72 hour and postoperative 6 weeks. Functional status and joint position sense will be assessed before surgery and 6 weeks after surgery. Lenght of stay in hospital (LOS) will be recorded.
Aim: This study aims to assess the effect of root canal disinfection with a 980 µm diode laser following chemomechanical root canal preparation on the severity of pain after root canal treatment (RCT). Materials and Methods: In present study, asymptomatic, single-rooted teeth with periapical index (PAI) score 3 or 4 were included. All patients were treated with two visits of root canal treatment including dressing with calcium hydroxide. Patients were randomly divided into two groups (n: 28). 'Control (no laser)': The final irrigation was performed using 5ml 2.5% NaOCI, followed by 5 ml 17% EDTA and 5 ml distilled water. 'Laser Disinfection (LD)': Root canals were irradiated with 980 µm diode laser after final irrigation at both visits. The pain levels were evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) after 8, 24, 48 hours and 7 days. In addition, analgesic intake and time intervals were recorded by patients. The collected data were statistically analyzed with the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U test (p<0.05).
Background and Aims: Music therapy has a wide range of uses in health care practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intraoperative music played during spinal anesthesia operation on the patients' intraoperative vital signs, postoperative pain, and anxiety status. Methods: The study was performed in an operating room with a total of 90 patients, of whom 30 were in the music group, 30 were in the control group and 30 were in the sedated group. The ethics committee's approval, institutional permission, and the study participants' written informed consent were obtained. Data were collected using patient information and intraoperative observation form for vital signs as well as through the Visual Analog Scale and State Anxiety Scale. Preoperative and postoperative anxiety, the intraoperative and postoperative vital signs and postoperative pain and anxiety of all groups were analyzed.
Haemorrhoidal disease (HD) is the most common proctological disease, with a prevalence that can reach up to 39% of the population. Although I and II degree HD can be treated successfully with medical therapy or office-based procedures , excisional haemorrhoidectomy remains the gold standard technique in patients with III and IV degree HD, obtaining a much lower rate of recurrence than non-excisional methods, such as Doppler-guided haemorrhoidal artery ligation or stapled haemorrhoidopexy. However, both open and closed haemorrhoidectomies are associated with a significant rate of post-operative pain , which may be due to the incorporation of sensitive anal mucosa and fibres of the internal sphincters during the ligation of the vascular pedicle, post-operative scars, hygiene/social habits, hard stool, or oedema of the necessary mucocutaneous bridge. Regarding the oedema/thrombosis of the mucocutaneous bridges, we strongly believe that it is the main cause of post-operative pain, and we have shown that the use of mesoglycan, a polysaccharide complex with antithrombotic and profibrinolytic properties, can reduce the rate of post-operative thrombosis and consequently post-operative pain 7-10 days after the procedures, improving patient quality of life and speeding up the recovery of daily activities. Furthermore, its usefulness is also evident in the treatment of the acute phase of external haemorrhoidal thrombosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of mesoglycan in the post-operative period of patients who underwent open excisional diathermy haemorrhoidectomy, confirming the previously obtained results
