Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effect of melatonin, and vitamin C and their combination in patients aged 18-60 years old who will undergo major abdominal surgery with mid-line incision within an expected time of surgery from 3 to 5 hours e.g. radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, colectomy, sigmoidectomy, splenectomy, and CBD exploration through mid-line incision. This study hypothesizes that using both vitamin C and melatonin together as adjuvants will cause: - More reduction in total morphine consumption in the first 24 hours postoperatively - More reduction of the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain, than using each adjuvant alone. Participants will be allocated into three equal groups: Melatonin (M group) and vitamin C (V group), and Melatonin and vitamin C (VM group). Two hours before surgery all patients will receive the study drugs orally and will be continued for 3 days postoperative at the same time of the first administration; 10mg of melatonin for M group (Melatonin 10 mg - Puritan's Pride premium company), 1gm of vitamin C for V group (Sanso C 1000 mg - AUG pharma company), and 10mg of melatonin and 1gm of vitamin C for VM group. Researchers will compare: - The effect of melatonin, vitamin C, and their combination on postoperative opioid consumption - The severity of postoperative pain, using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) - Patients' satisfaction with a three-point scale - The time of the first requirement for rescue analgesia - The effect on the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) affects all age groups and can lead to increased morbidity and more extended hospital stays. Dexmedetomidine reduces POCD by inhibiting the increase in proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α, and its anti-inflammatory activity contributes to its protective effect. Previous studies found that dexmedetomidine reduced POCD incidence in non-cardiac and cardiac surgery. Therefore, the goal of this study was to specifically investigate if using TCI dexmedetomidine to maintain anaesthesia in laparotomy surgeries reduces the incidence of POCD compared to inhalation anaesthesia by sevoflurane.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel, called UNISEPT® ORAL GEL, in promoting oral wound healing, alleviating postoperative symptoms, and enhancing oral hygiene. Study participants will include individuals with any suspicious lesion in their gums or the roof of their mouth. They will undergo a procedure to remove a small piece of tissue for testing (biopsy) in order to confirm the diagnosis.This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that involves the use of a punch, which is a plastic handpiece with a cylindrical cutting blade. Subsequently, the wound heals naturally without the need for sutures. Researchers are comparing this gel with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The researchers will not know which one they are providing as the gel tubes will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation) and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (taking a photo the site of the biopsy) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash, named UNISEPT® MOUTHWASH, regarding oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms, xerostomia (dry mouth) and oral hygiene improvement. Study participants have reported dry mouth and are scheduled for a diagnostic biopsy of minor labial salivary glands to investigate Sjögren's Syndrome, following consultation with their rheumatologist. This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that leads to healing by primary intention (i.e. wound edges are closely re-approximated with sutures). Researchers are comparing this mouthwash with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving dry mouth and/or oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The investigators will not know which one they are providing as the bottles will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation), improvement of dry mouth and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial consultation and the biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (such as measuring saliva) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
Summary: After a root canal procedure, it is common to experience postoperative pain. Cleaning the root canal thoroughly is crucial for pain relief, but removing all debris with standard methods is difficult. Irrigation, using either traditional endodontic needles or newer methods like endodontic activation, helps clean the canal. This study aims to compare pain levels after using conventional needles versus an Endo1 Ultrasonic Endo Activate Device for irrigation. Patients will undergo standard root canal preparation and then be randomly assigned to one of two groups for final irrigation: the Endo1 device (EA) and the conventional endodontic needles (EN). The study will provide insights into which method is more effective in reducing postoperative pain.
Abdominal surgery causes severe postoperative pain due to retraction of the abdominal wall and direct manipulation of visceral organs. It leads to delayed postoperative recovery, increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Intrathecal morphine, epidural analgesia and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia are used in postoperative pain management of abdominal surgeries. Intrathecal morphine is frequently used in many centers because it provides effective pain control. However; morphine has undesirable effects such as urinary retention, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and respiratory depression. Modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach is a technique defined by the modification of the thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach, in which local anesthetics are delivered only to the underside of the perichondral surface. The primary implication of this study is to compare postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery with intrathecal morphine or modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach.
The aim of this prospective randomized study was to compare the effectiveness of subcostal transversus abdominis plane block or rectus sheath block applied in addition to posterior transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in major gynecological cancer surgeries. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: [Is subcostal transversus abdominis plane block more effective in postoperative analgesia? ] [Is there a difference in pain scores at 24 hours after surgery? ] Since pain scores within the first 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated, participants will be asked to give a value between 0 and 10 at certain time periods.
Patient-controlled analgesia is typically used to relieve postoperative pain. Patient-controlled analgesia, on the other hand, is prone to opioid-related side effects. Furthermore, standard postoperative analgesia has a limited analgesic impact. If postoperative lumbosacral spine pain is not successfully treated, it can progress to chronic pain, compromising patients' quality of life. The methods of access for epidural injections are characterized as transforaminal, interlaminar, or caudal. Caudal epidural injections (CEI) are often utilized as a diagnostic or therapeutic tool in a range of lumbosacral-originating spinal pain problems, and they are especially useful in patients with complicated lumbar epidural access diseases, such as post laminectomy syndrome. It is regarded as a very simple treatment in the realm of interventional pain management, and it is also recognized to have a reduced risk of inadvertent Dural puncture than other epidural techniques
To explore the effects of preoperative pain education on postoperative pain among patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial] is to further explore the effectiveness and safety of oxelidine in the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain after orthopedic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Pain management after orthopaedic surgery provides more effective and safe drug options, provides new options for clinical treatment, and provides a scientific basis for clinical practice. Participants will be asked to pain score in the different time, treatments they'll be given and use optimal drug. Researchers will compare analgesic effect of oxelidine of different dose.
