Filter by:The DX-216 trial is a randomized, double-masked, placebo (vehicle)-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of two doses of OCS-01 compared to vehicle in the treatment of inflammation and pain following cataract surgery. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of OCS-01 compared to placebo and the secondary objective is to evaluate the optimal dosing frequency (once a day [QD] or twice a day [BID]).
Multimodal pain management is essential for recovery after surgery, aiming to target different pain mechanisms to minimize opioid usage and opioid-related adverse effects. Evidence for benefits and harms of various non-opioid analgesic combinations is, however, nearly non-existing, and large-scale trials are urgently needed. Recently, the investigators have demonstrated that combining paracetamol and ibuprofen is superior to each single drug when assessing pain after hip replacement. Further improvement is needed, investigating additional non-opioid analgesics to this combination. Glucocorticoids have anti-emetic and analgesic properties, but evidence for analgesic efficacy in combination with paracetamol and ibuprofen is lacking. The RECIPE trial is an investigator-initiated randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel, 4-group, blinded multicentre trial with 90-day follow-up investigating benefits and harms of different combinations of paracetamol, ibuprofen, and dexamethasone for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome is total use of IV morphine 0-24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes are pain (upon mobilisation, at rest, and during 5 m walk), and adverse events. Exploratory outcomes include quality of sleep, opioid-related adverse effects, serious adverse events (< 90 days), and patient reported disability score and quality of life (at 90 days). Based on sample-size calculations, 1060 patients are needed to detect a minimal clinically important difference in 24-hour morphine consumption of 8 mg, using a familywise type 1 error rate of 0.05 and a type 2 error rate of 0.2. The primary analyses will be based on the intention to treat population. More than six Danish university- and regional hospitals will participate in the trial. With this trial the investigators expect to lay the foundation for the best postoperative multimodal analgesic regimen for both total hip arthroplasty and possibly other surgeries, thereby facilitating recovery for millions of future surgical patients worldwide.
Postoperative pain still represents an important perioperative issue, affecting more than 80% of patients undergoing surgery. A suboptimal pain management doesn't just affects quality of life, but can compromise rehabilitation plan, increase morbidity and determine the development of chronic pain. Last but not least, far from being just an obligation for physicians, a good analgesia is a fundamental right of every patient. In order to meet these important demands, a great number of guidelines has been provided, all of these underlying that the centerpiece of postoperative analgesia lies in the multimodality management, thereby combining different medications and different ways of delivering them, with the aim of targeting distinct receptor systems and improving efficacy, while limiting side effects. In 2018, the investigators conducted a case-series analysis on 17 patients undergoing lumbar surgery to find out the role of Sublingual Sufentanil Tablet System (SSTS) in a multimodal analgesia regimen. Patients expressed a good pain relief, with most benefit during physiotherapy sessions and early discharges, in absence of side effects. Since then, SSTS has been part of regular clinical practice in our hospital. The aim of this randomized trial is to examine the analgesic efficacy and the opioid sparing role in spine surgery of a recently developed regional anesthesia technique, the Erector Spinae Plane block (ESP block), as opposed to Local Anaesthetic (LA) wound infiltration. The latter is a widespread, simple and unexpensive mean of providing postoperative analgesia. On the other hand, ESP block is an ultrasound-guided interfascial plain block, in which LA is injected below the erector spine muscle, closer to costotransverse foramina and origin of dorsal and ventral rami. It does provide an efficient multidermatomal sensory blockade (according to craniocaudal LA spread), with the advantage of being simple and safe.
In this study our aim is to investigate the effects of continue erector spinae block on postoperative pain in patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery.
Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a relatively new plane block that was first described by Forero et al. in 2016, to manage persistent neuropathic pain following malunited rib fracture and persistent post-thoracotomy neuropathic pain.It's a relatively simple, ultrasound guided block in which the local anesthetic drugs are injected in the plane between the erector spinae muscle and the vertebral transverse process.This allows the injected local anesthetics to block the ventral and dorsal rami of the spinal nerves in the paravertebral area. The literature reveals successful case reports denoting the use of ESPB for pain control in cases of acute kidney transplant,percutaneous nephrolithomy, abdominal surgeries including laparoscopic and open nephrectomy, and nephrectomy in the pediatric population. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study is to investigate the efficacy of ESPB for pain control in adult patients undergoing open renal surgery through a flank incision with respect to pain scores, postoperative analgesia consumption and patient satisfaction.
Erector Spinae Plane Block is a newly defined regional anesthesia technique. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that erector spinae plane block could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic Subcostal transverse abdominis plane block (STAP) is another regional anesthesia technic used for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae block and STAP in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
This is a A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Ascending-Dose Study To Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of a kappa receptor agonist HSK21542 in Healthy Volunteers. The study will enroll approximately 50 adults. The anticipated study duration will be up to 6 months.
The purpose of this research study is to find the best way to decrease pain in children whom have had hypospadias surgery. Investigators will perform two technique; Caudal block or Sacral erector spinae block. The results of this study will help learn how to best control pain in children having surgery hypospadias surgery.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) in addition to standard post-surgical shoulder physical therapy compared to a standard shoulder rehabilitation program in reducing medication use and pain in patients who have undergone shoulder surgery. Measurements of medication (opioid, NSAID, acetaminophen, etc.) use (daily number of pills consumed), pain rating, patient specific functional scale and global rating of change will be taken at 48-hours (baseline), 72-hours, 1-week, and 4-weeks post-surgery. It is hypothesized that the inclusion of Battlefield Acupuncture will result in a decrease in post-surgical pain levels, reduced opioid medication use, and improved patient mood when compared to rehabilitation alone.
Inadequate pain relief after cardiac surgery increases morbidity and results in a high incidence of persistent poststernotomy pain syndrome. The use of special opioid-based analgesia causes adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, sedation, urinary retention, respiratory depression and delayed tracheal extubation. Regional anesthesia techniques such as pectoralis nerve block and serratus anterior block provide analgesia in the sternum and pain relief in the lateral / posterior chest Wall. Erector spinae (ESP) block, a new and simple myofascial block, provides wide multi-dermatomal sensory block. In the T5 spinous process, bilateral ESP block provides analgesia from T2 to T9 sensory level, resulting in both somatic and visceral analgesia by blocking both the dorsal and ventral of the spinal nerves, including the sympathetic chain. This block may provide adequate analgesia for median sternotomy because the main nerve supply to the sternal region is from T2 to T6. Median sternotomy incision and mediastinal tube regions are the major source of pain in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The anterior and posterior branches of the intercostal nerves give nerves to the sternum. Parasternal local anesthetic infiltration around the sternum is effective in providing early postoperative analgesia and reducing opioid requirements and therefore has positive effects on healing. This simple and fast technique can be used even for anticoagulated patients.
