Filter by:This study will compare the ability of a single-dose of a novel ibuprofen formulation to relieve pain compared to placebo and standard ibuprofen in the treatment of tension-type headache
The development of a new Ambroxol spray formulation for the treatment of sore throat pain associated with acute pharyngitis requires an initial phase II study to be conducted in order to select the most appropriate dose for pain relief.
This 9-week study aimed to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of nabiximols (Sativex®) as an adjunctive treatment, compared with placebo in relieving uncontrolled persistent chronic pain in participants with advanced cancer. Eligible participants were not required to stop any of their current treatments or medications.
Mechanism-based choice of therapy for neuropathic pain: Can treatments success in neuropathic post-operative pain be coupled to psychophysical pain modulation profile?
Background: Selective unilateral spinal anesthesia is the gold standard spinal anesthesia technique for knee arthroscopy. Selective sensory spinal anesthesia has recently been validated for this surgery. Both selective techniques are specially indicated for ambulatory surgery because of PACU fast track, low discharge home time and high patient satisfaction. This study compares both spinal techniques for knee arthroscopy surgery.
Mechanically ventilated patients experiencing pain are frequent in intensive care units (ICU) however their treatment remains unclear. This prospective pharmacodynamic study relates to the analgesia of procedural pains. The primary objective was to determine the 90% effective dose (ED) of a sufentanil bolus to obtain a satisfactory analgesia (defined by a Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) at 3 or 4) during lateral decubitus (LD) of mechanically ventilated patients. Material and Method. Patients who, at rest before the 48th hour of mechanical ventilation, reach the objectives of BPS at 3 or 4 and Ramsay sedation score between 3 and 5, were included. During a 72h evaluation phase, BPS was used to measure the efficiency of a bolus of sufentanil on the analgesia of the LD. The dose of this bolus was raised gradually every new LD until BPS was at 3 or 4.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of a single intranasal (IN) administration of ketorolac after dental impaction surgery.
Pain is a problem for many Canadians. Unfortunately, many doctors, nurses, therapists, and psychologists have trouble keeping up to date and applying the latest research that might help patients suffering with pain. This study will determine whether sending alerts about new pain research directly to these health professionals, and providing them with access to accumulated alerts, will help. The study will compare knowledge and decisions made by health professionals about managing pain problems. The investigators will compare physicians, nurses, rehab therapists and psychologists at the beginning of the study and after having access to different ways to find out about new pain research. One group will receive alerts about new pain studies that have been found to be high quality and relevant to patient care, and will be able to search the alerts database. The other group will be able to find the same studies,but must go to the database of research studies to locate them. The investigators will include 670 doctors, nurses, rehab therapists, and psychologists in this study. A process like tossing a coin will determine which way they are able to get pain research information. The investigators will monitor how much information they access and how they apply it to managing pain problems. The investigators expect that reminding health care providers about new research findings directly will help them, since difficulty finding studies and lack of time prevent them from using the latest research. The investigators expect that reminders about the latest research will help them make better decisions about caring for patients' pain.
