Filter by:This is a randomized, double blinded, standard of care controlled clinical trial. All adult patients over eighteen desiring total knee arthroplasty will be eligible. The study compares pain control, opioid consumption, and physical exam findings in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty between patients receiving adductor canal block and those who receiving periarticular injection alone.
The aim of this study was to investigate the beneficial effect of bone cement in combination with wire cerclage on the stability of the sternum following median sternotomy. One half of the patients received only wire cerclage the other both bone cement and wire cerclage.
Nowadays, TRUS biopsy become one of the most popular tests for diagnosis of prostate cancer. This procedure causes pain to the patients who does not received the sedative drugs or analgesic drugs. There are many ways to reduce pain and inconvenience for the patients, such as intravenous propofol, intravenous fentanyl etc. In Siriraj hospital, anesthesiologists usually give intravenous propofol with intravenous opioids but the visual analogue score after this procedure was average at 0.9-2.9. Furthermore, some systematic reviews have shown that there was no difference in pain score between periprostatic nerve block plus opioid and periprostatic nerve block only. So, this study is to find out whether opioids is need for TRUS biopsy.
Postoperative pain control is required after major abdominal surgery, including laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Intravenous oxycodone is widely used for postoperative acute pain control mainly in Europe. The aim of this study is to evaluate the optimal dose of intravenous oxycodone for pain control after laparoscopic colorectal surgery in Korean.
Effective pain relief after cardiac surgery has assumed importance with the introduction of fast track discharge protocols that requires early weaning from mechanical ventilation. Inadequate pain control reduces the capacity to cough, mobility, increases the frequency of atelectasis, and prolongs recovery. Infiltration of local anesthetics near the surgical wound has shown to improve early postoperative pain in various surgical procedures. Magnesium is the fourth most plentiful cation in our body. It has antinociceptive effects in animal and human models of pain.
The control of pain, swelling and trismus in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery is frequently performed through the administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). The present study aims to evaluate in a double blind, randomized and crossover manner the clinical efficacy of ketoprofen (immediate release - 100 mg) and ketoprofen in association with omeprazole (modified release - 200 mg ketoprofen with 20 mg omeprazole) in 50 patients aged 18 years or older that require removal of both lower third molars symmetrically positioned. After collection, data will be analyzed by means of graphs and tables to allow the appropriate analyses. Paired t-test will be used to compare the duration of surgeries. Nonparametric Wilcoxon test will be used for the analysis of "rescue medication" and postoperative pain parameters (visual analog scale). Data of "mouth opening" and "swelling" will be statistically analyzed through analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's test for multiple comparisons. Statistical significance will be set at 5%. Results will be presented as mean ± standard deviation of the mean.
Our goal is to improve the self-management of pain and stress in adult outpatients with sickle cell disease (SCD) by determining the feasibility of a self-managed guided relaxation (GR) stress reduction intervention using a tablet-based mobile device. Currently, opioid analgesics are primarily used to treat SCD pain while self-managed behavioral modalities such as GR, are rarely used. Little is known about the effects or mechanisms of GR on pain and stress, in adults with SCD. Emerging evidence from the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis theory offer insights for understanding the mechanisms. Adding GR as a supplement to analgesic therapies will address the paucity of self-management strategies for controlling pain in SCD. GR is a simple and cost-effective non-drug intervention that could reduce pain and stress in outpatients with SCD. GR is an intervention where outpatients with SCD are directed to listen to and view audio-visual recordings while they visualize themselves being immersed in that scene.
The scleral buckle surgery is an effective way in treating retinal detachment (RD) patients. Retrobulbar block has been proved effective in scleral buckle surgery. Though retrobulbar anesthesia saves operative time and money compared to general analgesia, the intraoperative pain is frequent and a proportion of postoperative pain is often ignored. Ketorolac has been demonstrated to be a preemptive analgesia in other diseases such as adenotonsillectomy, posterior lumbar spinal fusion, laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK), and so forth. The aim of the investigators study is to determine the safety and preemptive analgesic effect of ketorolac in the perioperative pain control of patients undergoing RD surgery under retrobulbar anesthesia.
This study is designed to find additional methods to reduce pain during wound care. In this study the investigators use virtual reality (a form of distraction) in addition to pain medication during a burn wound care.
Oxycodone has been in clinical use for decades. It is an effective alternative to morphine for moderate to severe acute or chronic pain and has been found to improve quality of life. The drug has been used parenterally or orally as perioperative analgesia or for cancer pain relief. Despite its long clinical experience, prescribing errors and misuse may lead to addiction and accidental overdose. Currently, little is known about the pharmacokinetic properties of intravenous oxycodone among paediatric patients in this region even though the drug has been used in children in other countries such as Finland. Therefore, a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic study of oxycodone among Malaysian pediatric patients is warranted.
