Filter by:Buprenorphine is a highly lipophilic thebaine derivative that appears to have high affinity for mu-, kappa-, and delta-opioid receptors and low affinity for opioid receptors like 1 -receptors. It acts as a partial agonist at the mu-opioid and as a partial agonist/antagonist at the kappa-opioid, and as an antagonist at the delta opioid receptors. Buprenorphine has up to two-fold duration of action and it is approximately 30-fold more potent when compared to morphine. Pain is a common problem in patients coming to joint arthroplastic surgery. Buprenorphine low dose patches are recommended for treatment of moderate pain for example osteoarthritis pain. It is known that well treated pain even preoperatively may prevent prolonged postsurgical pain. In the present study the effects of low dose buprenorphine on postoperative pain and recovery were assessed.
determine if efficiency of MEOPA anesthesia is at least equivalent to local anesthetics into the chorionic villus sampling in the first trimester of pregnancy
This study evaluates the face validity and cultural acceptability of the Faces Pain Scale - Revised in pediatric patients treated at Mbingo Baptist Hospital, Northwest Province, Cameroon. Participants from the four major language/cultural groups evaluated at the hospital with a complaint of pain will trial the Faces Pain Scale - Revised and then undergo cognitive interviewing to assess comprehension and clinical accuracy.
Aim of the study is to determine heat pain thresholds (HPT in °C) and cold pain thresholds (CPT in °C) during topical capsaicin 8% application, and mechanical pain thresholds (MPT in g) immediately after to find out the exact skin temperature by which capsaicin initiates the application pain (heat pain threshold, HPT in °C) but also the temperature by which capsaicin does not yet trigger a cold pain (cold pain threshold, CPT in °C). Moreover the investigators want to find out the mechanical pain threshold in g from topical capsaicin and to verify a prolonged effect of capsaicin on the pain thresholds.
Thoracotomy is one of the most painful operation. Continuous thoracic epidural or paravertebral analgesia are gold standard for postoperative pain. But both techniques require skills. Spinal morphine is alternative simple method with less efficacy. Adding low dose ketamine during intraoperative may be helpful in postoperative pain relief.
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence and intensity of possible pain on injection as well as patient satisfaction caused by long chain triglyceride propofol versus medium/long chain combinated triglyceride propofol on endoscopy.
The purpose of this prospective study is to investigate the degree of association between the volume of important pain-relevant structures in the brain and the size of the areas of secondary hyperalgesia.
The TEACH randomized controlled trial will test the effectiveness of a collaborative care intervention directed towards physicians who provide care for HIV-infected persons to improve the quality of care for prescribing chronic opioid therapy (COT) for pain and reduce the misuse of prescription opioids among HIV-infected persons.
The pharmacokinetics of oxycodone is well characterized in children older than six months of age. However, only one study has been published with children younger than six months, concluding that unexplained inter-individual variability is pronounced in the youngest children. The aim of the current study was to quantify oxycodone pharmacokinetics in children ranging from preterm newborn infants to children up to two years of age.
The enrolled subjects will get an intravenous cannulation in both elbows. The subject will get before xylocaine spray is placed, the intervention-arm, one intravenous cannulation in one of the elbows, the other intravenous cannulation is placed in the other arm before placebo spray is placed, the control arm. The pain score during insertion of the cannulation, the incidence of adverse events and the success rate and degree of difficulty to place an intravenous cannulation. The subjects and the one who place the cannulations will be blinded to the treatment.
