Filter by:This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design study evaluating a single dose of one of three CA-008 dose levels vs. placebo injected during an elective bunionectomy Bunionectomy to assess post-surgical pain management and the need for rescue medication (oxycodone).
Sacrifice of the intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) during surgery is associated with development of persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP), which affects up to 60% of breast cancer surgery patients. A large, definitive trial is needed to establish whether nerve preservation techniques are effective in reducing post-surgical pain after breast cancer surgery. If the effect of ICBN preservation is consistent with observational studies, the absolute reduction of rates of persistent pain would be considerable.The primary objective is to determine the effect of ICBN preservation, versus usual care, on the prevalence and intensity of PPSP at one year after breast cancer surgery involving axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Within the larger INSPIRE pilot, we will also be conducting a biomarker sub-study. The objectives of the biomarker sub-study are: 1) to determine the association between pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and the presence and intensity of persistent pain at 3 weeks, and 3 months post-surgery, and) 2) to determine the effect of study intervention on the change in cytokine levels (pre-operative to post-operative) in participants who consent to participate in the sub-study.
The study aims to improve the care of the obstetric population after cesarean section and improve total patient satisfaction by improving post-surgical pain control with the use of dexamethasone in combination with bilateral TAP blocks. The investigators will utilize a dose-escalation of dexamethasone in the TAP block to observe its effects at specific small doses. It is the hope of the investigator that the studied technique would become utilized routinely for the obstetric population following cesarean section. The investigators hope to show that the addition of dexamethasone in bilateral TAP blocks will prolong the duration of the block in a dose-dependent fashion. The investigators hope to improve post-operative pain following cesarean section, increase duration of TAP block with use of dexamethasone, decrease overall pain scores in the first 24-48 hours, and decrease opioid requirements after cesarean section. The primary endpoint will be estimation of duration of TAP block, being assessed within 48 hours after surgery. Secondary endpoints will include pain scores both in PACU and on the floor, average pain scores, time until first opioid administration, total opioid consumption in first 48 hours, use of PONV medications, and overall patient satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to describe the chronology of post operative pain in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. Further, within this population the predictive validity of the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale will be assessed for persistent post surgical pain.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and analgesic efficacy of a single preoperative intrathecal administration of AYX1 Injection in patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty.
Currently, continuous adductor canal and popliteal-sciatic nerve blocks are used commonly for lower extremity post-operative pain control, specifically for total knee arthroplasty and foot/ankle surgery, respectively. A perineural catheter used to infuse local anesthetic for postoperative analgesia may be placed at various locations along the target nerves. Investigations of single-injection peripheral nerve blocks suggest that the onset of the block might be faster with one location over the other; but, the success rates are equivalent. However, remaining unknown is whether there is an optimal location to place a perineural catheter as part of a continuous peripheral nerve block.
The investigators are studying music therapy as an incentive and adjunct to a comprehensive spine surgery rehabilitation-recuperation program. Through the use of music therapy psychosocial support is motivated by the clinical use of music. The program will investigate the use of music therapy as an option for managing symptoms associated with spine surgery recovery. The proposed program will investigate the use of music therapy as an integrative treatment within Beth Israel's Department of Spine Surgery.This study will investigate the effects of music therapy in managing spine surgery recuperation and to reduce the intensity and experience of pain. Outcomes will include: Pain (pain medication dosage and patient report) using a CAS Color Analysis Scale and the VAS Pain Rating Scale, level of self-reliance/independence using physical therapy assessment scale, cooperation through evaluating number of times patient declined/accepted services, length of stay, patient satisfaction/patient report, level of kinesiophobia using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia and anxiety/depression using the HADS during the period post-spine surgery.(see attached scales in Appendix section)
Hip replacement surgery is one of the most common elective surgeries in Canada and with this surgery, there is considerable pain after the operation. By decreasing the amount of pain after surgery, the patients may be able to move and walk quicker, resulting in easier physiotherapy sessions, shorter hospital stays and may help to avoid adverse outcomes like nausea and vomiting and being overly sedated. By using ultrasound guided femoral nerve block, it may be an alternative for pain management with minimal side effects for patients having hip replacement surgery.
The clinical study's primary objective is to compare the overall analgesic effect of the Provant Therapy System (test device) to an identical sham device (placebo) in subjects experiencing post-operative pain following first metatarsal bunion surgery. The study hypothesis is that, over the first 72 hours (3 days) after the initial test device treatment, subjects treated with an active test device will show a statistically significant difference (reduction) in pain intensity scores when compared with subjects treated with a sham (placebo) device. Treatment with the test device will continue through the 168 hour (7 day) timepoint. Safety will be followed through 28 days.
When used in conjunction with a local anesthetic, dexamethasone may prolong both the sensory and motor effects of high supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve block (SBP) in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. This study seeks to determine if there is a relationship between the duration of sensory and motor blockade in supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve blocks (SBP) when combined with increasing doses of dexamethasone.
