Filter by:The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the association paracetamol / ondansetron is not as effective as the association paracetamol / droperidol in the treatment of pain in children following tonsillectomy. The secondary objectives are to compare opioid consumption (morphine / codeine) and the cumulated incidence of nausea and vomiting between the two groups of patients in the first 24 hours after
Understudied drugs will be administered to children per standard of care as prescribed by their treating caregiver and only biological sample collection during the time of drug administration will be involved. A total of approximately 7000 children aged <21 years who are receiving these drugs for standard of care will be enrolled and will be followed for up a maximum of 90 days. The goal of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of understudied drugs for which specific dosing recommendations and safety data are lacking. The prescribing of drugs to children will not be part of this protocol. Taking advantage of procedures done as part of routine medical care (i.e. blood draws) this study will serve as a tool to better understand drug exposure in children receiving these drugs per standard of care. The data collected through this initiative will also provide valuable pharmacokinetic and dosing information of drugs in different pediatric age groups as well as special pediatric populations (i.e. obese).
In this randomized controlled trial, 2 mg intravenous (IV) hydromorphone will be more efficacious than usual care (usual care is analgesic management according to the judgment of the attending physician caring for that patient) in emergency department (ED) patients aged 21-64 years. The primary efficacy outcomes are the proportion of patients in each arm who choose to forgo additional pain medication in 30 minutes of entry into the study and the change in numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores from baseline to 30 minutes post baseline.
The hydromorphone protocol is more effective than usual care in Emergency Department (ED) patients age 65 years and older in terms of proportion who choose to forgo additional pain medication within 60 minutes post-baseline in the two groups.
An actual use trial to demonstrate that consumers will not exceed the labeled daily dose of Aleve 24 Hour at an unacceptable rate. Two aspects of consumer use will be evaluated: 1) the frequency at which consumers exceed the label-defined daily dose, thus putting themselves at clinical risk, and 2) the reasons for exceeding the labeled daily dose.
This is a randomized controlled study that will place patients into a "choice" and a "no choice" group. The choice group will be able to choose between receiving 100 mcg or 200 mcg intrathecal morphine. The no choice group will be randomized to receive either 100 mcg or 200 mcg of intrathecal morphine. Following casarean delivery, pain scores will be measured at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 hours.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of nabiximols (Sativex®), compared with placebo, when used as an adjunctive measure in relieving uncontrolled persistent chronic pain (not breakthrough pain) in participants with advanced cancer, who had inadequate analgesia even with optimized chronic opioid therapy. This multi-center study was conducted in two parts. All participants enrolled into the trial received nabiximols during one of two parts of the study, but they did not know which part. Eligible participants were not required to stop any of their current treatments or medications.
Ageing is related to a decrease in physical fitness, disability and age related symptoms like nocturnal leg cramps (NLC). Our research is focused on the enhancement of physical activity and mobility to increase physical fitness and decrease disability and nocturnal cramp in older adults.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of lanolin for the treatment of painful/damaged nipples among breastfeeding women, and to evaluate if the use of lanolin has an effect on breastfeeding outcomes such as duration and exclusivity.
In this experimental study on healthy volunteers we explored the effect of pregabalin alone and in combination with remifentanil on acute experimental pain and ventilatory function.
