Filter by:The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if Topical Oral Wound Emulsion (TOWE) assists with dental wound healing and relieves pain from oral wounds.
Double-blind study comparing the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of morphine administered subcutaneously (SC) with and without human recombinant hyaluronidase (HYLENEX) and intravenously conducted in patients in a hospice care setting or through a palliative care medicine setting. In this within-patient controlled study, each eligible study patient receives a single injection by each of the three methods of morphine administration, sequentially on three consecutive days, according to the order specified by a randomization schedule. Each of the three injections consists of 5 mg of morphine (1.0 mL of 5 mg/mL solution). The HYLENEX injection will be 1 mL of 150 units. Although the IV administration will not be blinded, the two SC injections will be double-blinded, using the same volume of normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) placebo (1.0 mL) as HYLENEX.
To examine the safety and efficacy of Virtual Reality (VR) distraction therapy in burn patients experiencing severe procedural pain during wound care.
The objective of this study is to investigate the analgesic effect of topical strontium chloride in stump pain, and to prospectively determine other efficacy and safety measures of topical strontium chloride in stump pain.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safest dose of d-methadone that can be given, without causing severe side effects in most patients with chronic pain. Patients are being asked to participate in the Phase I portion of this study.
One dose of either gabapentin or placebo will be given to patients prior to thoracotomy. Patients will also receive an epidural infusion, intravenous patient-controlled analgesia with fentanyl, oral acetaminophen and intravenous ketorolac as needed to achieve optimal analgesia. Pain ratings and supplemental medication use will be recorded for 48 hours and will also be assessed at 3 months postoperatively to determine whether the patients who received gabapentin had improved analgesia and/or required less supplemental medication than the placebo group.
Comparing patients receiving subanesthetic doses of Ketamine vs placebo to see if it can reduce narcotic needs for patients receiving a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy
This study looks at lessening the pain after a Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) surgery by using Dexamethasone (a corticosteroid).
Cryogen Spray Cooling spurt is applied to the skin surface immediately before laser exposure. As liquid cryogen rapidly evaporates, the superficial skin temperature is reduced as a result of supplying the latent heat of vaporization. Tetrafluoroethane, an environmentally compatible, non-toxic, non-flammable freon substitute, has been demonstrated in multiple studies to be a safe and effective cooling agent and is the only cryogenic compound currently approved for dermatologic use by the Food and Drug Administration.
The purpose of this study is to see if changing from one pain medication like morphine or oxycodone to another pain medication, oxymorphone (OPANA®), will be helpful to patients. This study will examine if the switching from one pain medication to another can be done over a 24 hour period. Oxymorphone, the drug being studied, is an FDA approved drug for treatment of severe pain.
