Filter by:Pain after laparoscopic surgery has been associated with surgical manipulations, including intraperitoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide (CO2), resulting in peritoneal stretching, diaphragmatic irritation, changes in intra-abdominal pH, and retention of the insufflated gas in the abdominal cavity after surgery. These effects may result in the irritation of peritoneal nerves causing visceral pain, as commonly reported after laparoscopic procedures in pediatrics. The study hypothesis is that Intraperitoneal local anesthetic (levobupivacaine) instillation can provide pain relief after laparoscopic surgery, but local anesthetic distribution may not always be uniform throughout the peritoneal surface. Many methods were tried for intraperitoneal application of local anesthetics in laparoscopic surgery such as local anesthetic (LA) instillation and LA nebulization. -But these methods are not widely used in pediatrics upon our knowledge
This is a randomized controlled trial to determine if intraoperative local analgesia administered at the level of the sacrospinous ligament can lessen the gluteal pain felt by patients postoperatively after SSL colpopexy. Hypothesis: Local analgesia administered at the level of the sacrospinous ligament can lessen the gluteal pain felt by patients postoperatively after SSL colpopexy.
This longitudinal observational study will attempt to objectively measure pain with an experimental, non-invasive device. Patients and volunteers will receive a baseline screening with psychophysical tests and questionnaires. Investigators will apply the device to measure pain during routine clinical care and correlate patients pain ratings and analgesia requirements to that measured by the device. A more standardized approach with experimental pain stimuli will be pursued in human volunteer studies.
It is common for obstetric anesthesia using opioid supplement to local anesthetics for epidural labor pain control. Given the low doses of these epidural drugs, we never doubt the necessity of the supplement of opioid to lacal anesthetics during this process based on the concept that opioid addition can enhance and prolong the analgesic effect of local anesthetics. However, we unavoidably encounter many opioid-associated side effects during the labor delivery. In addition, usage of opioid increase the medical cost for each patient. We herein hypothesized that in the context of obstetric anesthesia, sole local anesthetics can produce as the same analgsic effect as opioid plus local anesthetics given for epidural labor pain control.
The investigators hypothesize that intra-nasal ketamine, for analgesia of patients with moderate to severe pain in an alpine setting, will provide a clinically significant reduction in pain and provide an effective and feasible alternative to intravenous opioids. The investigators wish to know: 1. Is our study protocol feasible to study INK in a mountain, prehospital care environment? 2. What estimate can be made of recruitment rates? 3. Does studying the use of INK interfere with or delay care at Whistler/Blackcomb? 4. Is intra-nasal ketamine an effective and safe method for controlling pain in our study population and setting? 5. Does intranasal ketamine provide a clinically significant reduction in pain or do patients require additional IV narcotics for extraction? 6. Are there any significant changes in vital signs after administration of intra-nasal ketamine 7. Does the use of intra-nasal ketamine reduce time of patient extraction and transport in the alpine pre-hospital setting? 8. Are there any long term sequelae of INK at one week?
The purpose of this trial was to find out how well cebranopadol is tolerated and how often, and which, adverse reactions occur when it is taken every day for a longer period of time. In addition, information was collected how cebranopadol affects pain and well-being in patients suffering from cancer-related pain.
This study will investigate if adding complementary therapies such as acupuncture, massage and reiki to inpatient pediatric care is feasible and what the effects are on outcomes such as patient symptoms, cost, safety, satisfaction and length of stay.
The hypothesis of this investigation is to observe if HBO have an anti-inflammatory effect in humans induced by tonic heat stimulation. It has been shown in animal studies with rats that HBO could reduce the paw edema induced by carrageenan as an inflammatory agent. The authors are not aware of similar studies in human subjects investigating this effect of HBO. Aim: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of HBO by reducing the hyperalgesia induced by heat stimulation in healthy subjects and promote future research and understanding of the anti-inflammatory processes in humans. The primary endpoint is a reduced area of secondary hyperalgesia after HBO.
Pain during intrauterine device (IUD) insertion can be a barrier to initiation. Misoprostol and nonsteroidal drugs have found to be ineffective by clinical trials.Investigators tested whether intracervical 2% lidocaine gel decreased insertion pain compared to placebo.
The hypothesis is that a combined spinal-epidural drug at refrigerated temperature will have a shorter period of pain relief than that maintained at room temperature. The temperature of the dose of medication will be measure with an infrared thermometer immediately prior (within 5 minutes) to administration.
