The most prevalent complaint after third molar extractions is pain. There have been many modalities and regimens developed to manage post-operative pain, such as modifications in surgical techniques, locally-applied medicaments, and oral analgesics. Recently, liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) has been FDA approved for single-dose infiltration in the oral cavity in adults and children (6 years or older) to produce extended postsurgical local anesthesia. We hypothesize that the administration of liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) at the end of third molar extractions will decrease postoperative pain and decrease narcotic use for pain management.
The study design is a single-center 2-arm randomized controlled clinical trial. 10 subjects (teeth) requiring a root canal treatment will be enrolled in 2 groups (5 in each group). The aim of the study is to compare the postoperative pain intensity levels in patients with asymptomatic teeth diagnosed for non-surgical orthograde root canal treatment that are disinfected during the root canal treatment procedure by manual irrigation with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution using an endodontic needle or by a inertial cavitation-generating device.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether listening to music during surgery has an effect on pain or anxiety after surgery.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a widely applied therapy to treat chronic neuropathic pain, and one of the most common indications is persisting radicular neuropathic pain following lumbar spine surgery. In traditional SCS therapies, the objective has been to replace the pain sensation with paresthesia. The anticipation is that the electrical current alters pain processing by masking the sensation of pain with a comfortable tingling or paresthesia. Although patients mostly cope with paresthesia, a significant proportion reports that the sensation is unpleasant. 'Burst' SCS utilizes complex programming to deliver high-frequency stimuli. This SCS technique seems to provide paresthesia-free stimulation, resulting in better pain relief of low back and leg pain then traditional tonic stimulation. The widespread use of SCS has not been backed by solid evidence. The absence of placebo-controlled trials has long been an important point of criticism, but due to the nature of the intervention with sensation of paresthesia, studies with placebo control have so far not been considered possible. When 'burst' SCS is used the stimulation is often unnoticed by the patient, allowing comparison with placebo stimulation. The aim of this randomized double-blind sham-controlled crossover trial is to evaluate the efficacy of 'burst' spinal cord stimulation for chronic radicular pain following spine surgery.
This study will collect perioperative pain-related data of elderly patients in multi-centers. Analyzing these collected data to find the high-risk factors of chronic postsurgical pain in elderly patients and to establish an early-warning models of perioperative pain in elderly patients, so as to improve the ability of assessing the risks of postoperative pain in elderly patients and providing an early warning. Based on the database, the investigators intend to explore: - Perioperative risk assessment methods and early warning models for elderly patients; - Practical, safe, and effective risk prevention and control system through subsequent studies.
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that increased electronic order-set compliance and focused education will decrease the amount of unconsumed opioid entering and remaining in the home after pediatric supracondylar fracture repair The proposed study will address the hypothesis with the following objectives: 1. investigators will increase compliance with previously implemented standardized precision-based electronic discharge order sets; 2. investigators will introduce part-fill opioid prescriptions for supracondylar fracture repairs; 3. investigators will increase parental compliance with home administration of simple (non-opioid) analgesics; 4. investigators will decrease opioid amount remaining in the home pre and post 3-week follow up.
During the postoperative period, it is possible to observe the development of acute pain, which lasts no longer than a week after surgery. However, sometimes some patients see the prolongation of this pain beyond the healing time of the tissue, turning into a chronic condition. Persistent postoperative pain is a disease with a complex and still unknown etiology, affecting between 5 and 75% of the population. The development of persistent postoperative pain is a rather important issue since the physician managing the patient must on the one hand ensure adequate analgesia, and on the other hand, minimize the risk of continued opioid use in the case of chronicization. In a study conducted analyzing the prevalence of persistent postoperative pain in various surgeries it was seen to occur more frequently in limb amputation (prevalence >85%), thoracotomy (prevalence 48%), knee arthroplasty (prevalence 44%), laminectomies, and spinal arthrodesis (prevalence 5-46%), and hip replacement (prevalence 27%) making this type of pain more frequent in the patient undergoing orthopedic surgery. As the mechanisms behind its development have not yet been fully clarified, efforts to study the clinical factors associated with the onset of this pathology have been attempted. As there is no way in the literature to stratify the risk of the population in order to prevent the development of postoperative pain, based on the variables reported by different studies, it was decided to administer in patients referred to the Orthopedics and Traumatology 1 U and Orthopedics and Traumatology 3 U department at the Orthopedic Trauma Center of Turin questionnaires to assess the development of chronic pain for screening purposes and to contribute to the improvement of the long-term management of these patients in the postoperative period.
This is a research project in which two standard of care practices will be evaluated to examine the difference in outcomes. The goal is to improve patient care and safety. One group will receive prescriptions for acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and magnesium. The other group will receive the recommendation to take acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and magnesium as over-the-counter drugs in the same dosage as the prescription group. The same doses and routes for non-opioid medications will be used in both groups.
This is an observational clinical study aiming to further the wider understanding of patients who develop persistent pain after Thoracoabdominal Aorta surgery, a surgical cohort who are disproportionately affected. This will be undertaken through a prospective biopsychosocial characterisation of the phenotype of patients undergoing this operation. Increasing numbers of patients are undergoing surgery on the chest for treatment of heart or lung cancer disease. Over the last twenty years, the medical community has become increasingly aware of the long-term effect of this surgery in producing persistent pain, approximately half of all survivors are still in pain around their surgical incision at three months postoperatively and beyond. There is currently no accepted method for preventing this phenomenon. The nervous system mechanisms for the development of persistent pain after surgery are unclear. Some studies suggest it may involve the patient's ability to dampen down pain signals travelling from the incision site to the brain. Humans have an in-built system that produces opiates as well as other pain-relieving molecules in response to injury, e.g. surgery. However, this response varies hugely from person to person and may even be impacted by the psychological state of the individual at the time of surgery. Some of these pain modulating mechanisms can be measured before and after surgery in patients using sensory testing, a robust and established objective method to assess patients'. Identifying patients who are most at risk of a persistent pain state will allow both academics and clinicians to investigate and better target appropriate treatments. Undertaking these longitudinal observational assessments will facilitate an improved mechanistic insight of the transition from acute to pathological pain, with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes for patients'.
