Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the role of dexmedetomidine and ketamine as an adjuvant in external oblique intercostal plane block for post thoracotomy pain.
to evaluate the safety and efficacy of continuous paravertebral block by intraoperative direct access on postthoracotomy pain compared to systemic analgesia.
This study aims at comparing the effect of serratus plane block versus thoracic epidural in patients undergoing thoracotomy for lung cancer surgery regarding pain control and possible side effects.
A total of 60 patients scheduled for thoracotomy with the aim of excision of pleural or lung cancer, will be randomized by the use of a computer-generated table of random numbers to receive duloxetine 60 mg orally 2 hours before the surgical procedure and at 24 hours after the surgical procedure or a placebo pill following the same time schedule.
The goal of this paper is to evaluate whether the pre-emptive administration of Ketamine would potentiate the effect of intravenous morphine analgesia in management of post thoracotomy pain. This was a single center, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group, prospective study. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 1 mg/kg ketamine (Ketamine Group) or an equivalent dose of normal saline (Placebo Group) before thoracotomy in 1:1 ratio. All patients received postoperatively intravenous morphine administration as additional analgesic regimen Primary end-point was pain relief measured with Visual Analogue Scale at rest. The secondary end-points were the reduction of inflammatory response expressed by plasma c-reactive protein levels, the morphine consumption, and the rate of side effects. The measurements were carried out 6; 12; 24; 36; and 48 post operative hours.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of pregabalin or pregabalin and continuous wound infusion versus placebo for analgesia following thoracotomy
The primary objective of this study is to determine if gabapentin can decrease or prevent chronic post-thoracotomy pain.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety of the AvicennaTM class IV laser for application over the skin of human subjects. In addition, we seek to measure the effectiveness and utility of this class 4 laser therapy in the treatment of post-thoracotomy pain syndrome.
