Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if there is a difference in pain after an arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery when a nerve block is performed with liposomal bupivacaine versus the standard treatment of bupivacaine alone. The main question aims to answer if patients who receive liposomal bupivacaine have better pain control and lower postoperative opioid consumption compared to bupivacaine alone. Participants be randomized to either the control group to receive a standard interscalene block with bupivacaine (25 cc of bupivacaine) or the experimental group to receive similar dosing of liposomal bupivacaine mixed with bupivacaine (10cc liposomal bupivacaine + 15cc bupivacaine). Data will be prospectively collected and the data from the experimental group will be compared to the control group at the completion of the study period.
The objective of this study is to specify the demographic and medical factors that most likely constitute a risk of developing CPSP in the patients with lower limb.
The purpose of this prospective research study is to evaluate the effects of preoperative pain threshold using a pressure algometer and its effects on postoperative patient satisfaction, return to work, and opioid consumption following Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA). Participants will have their pain threshold measured at the preoperative visit. Postoperatively, they will be followed for 3 months and complete a pain journal for 2 weeks, record their medications consumed, and complete surveys at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months. The study team will rely on the completion of the questionnaires, opioid consumption journal, and surveys to establish a correlation between pre-operative pain threshold and post-operative outcome.
This study will be a prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of using Headspace before and after undergoing total knee replacement surgery. The purpose of this study will be to determine whether using Headspace will help to improve functional outcome scores, decrease pain, and decrease opioid medication use after total knee replacement in patients with depression and/or anxiety. Headspace is a smartphone-based application that guides individuals through various mindfulness sessions and has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and pain.
TAPA is a new analgesic block technique that involves the injection of local anesthetics into the thoracoabdominal nerves using a perichondrial approach. Application to the undersurface of the rib cartilage is considered as Modified TAPA (M-TAPA). These techniques are commonly applied for postoperative analgesia in surgeries and are effective and safe when performed under ultrasound guidance.
To compare the effect of M-TAPA block and port-site local anesthetic infiltration on postoperative pain in pediatric laparoscopic appendectomies. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is M-TAPA block more effective in reducing pain? - How M-TAPA block affects the use of rescue analgesics in the postoperative period? Participants will have the same anaesthetic agents during surgery, before extubation they will have same analgesic agent for postoperative pain. Participants in the M-TAPA group will undergo USG-guided M-TAPA block bilaterally with % 0.025 Bupivacaine max dose of 2 mg/kg by the same experienced anesthesiologist before extubation. Participants in the LAI group will be administered 0.025% Bupivacaine at a maximum dose of 2mg/kg divided equally and administered by the surgeon at 3 port entry sites before the patient is extubated.
Liposomal bupivacaine or Exparel (Pacira Biosciences) is a long-lasting nonopioid analgesic that was initially utilized as an infiltrative agent but has more recently become U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for use in interscalene brachial plexus nerve blockade as well as infiltrative blockade. Delivery in this form is reported to provide up to 72 hours of extended-release bupivacaine. Exparel's use as a regional anesthetic has also become increasingly common and has shown promise when utilized in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Biomedical research consists of two main parts. In the first part, the pilonidal cyst-specific quality of life questionnaire is compiled, adapted, validated, tested for suitability in assessing patients after pilonidal cyst operations. The second part will compare two pilonidal cyst operations. A prospective, comparative, randomized clinical study will be conducted.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients age 15 to 30 years old being treated for shoulder labrum repair and SLAP lesions have significant differences in pain levels postoperatively when treated with a combination therapy of ibuprofen, and acetaminophen compared to oxycodone. Participants will be randomly placed into either the control arm and receive scripts for non-narcotic medications (Tylenol and Ibuprofen) and opioids, or the experimental arm of the study. receiving only a prescription for the non-narcotic medications. Every patient will receive a preoperative Exparel nerve block as is the standard of care for this procedure. Both groups will fill out a pain journal for 14 days following surgery and complete a pill count at the first postoperative visit to validate the amount of pain medication documented in the pain journal.
Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1 to the lidocaine group or placebo group.
