Filter by:Regional anesthesia allows surgery without affecting the patient's level of consciousness.However, this may cause anxiety in some patients.In previous research, scientists have tried to prevent anxiety with non-pharmacological interventions such as music and cognitive therapies.Virtual reality is thought to offer an immersive experience that can alter the mind's perception of pain. Scientists have found in previous preliminary studies that virtual reality is safe and effective as an adjunct to standard sedative/analgesic protocols for reducing patients' pain and anxiety during endoscopy, colonoscopy, dental treatments, burn dressings, and labor. In this study, it is expected that anxiety scores, postoperative analgesic need and intraoperative sedation need will decrease, recovery quality will improve and patient satisfaction will increase in patients who will undergo upper extremity surgery under regional anesthesia and watch videos through VR glasses.
Pain following open reduction of mandibular fractures is the most reported complaint during the first 24 post-operative hours. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of inferior alveolar nerve block with bupivacaine 0,5% in patients with mandibular fractures. The main question it aims to answer are: - Does the inferior alveolar nerve block with bupivacaine reduce the intensity of pain after mandibular fracture surgery? - Does the inferior alveolar nerve block with bupivacaine decrease the consumption of analgesics during the first 24 postoperative hours? Participants with bifocal mandibular fractures will be enrolled in the study (a fracture should be located on the dentate portion of the right hemi-mandible, and a second fracture located on the dentate portion of the left hemi-mandible). Each patient will receive either a right or left inferior alveolar nerve block. The patient: - Will be asked to estimate the pain score by the numerical rating scale during the first 24 postoperative hours for each fracture. - They will be given rescue analgesia in case of intense pain. The number of uses of rescue analgesia will be noted. Researchers will compare a group of fracture that will receive the inferior alveolar nerve block with bupivacaine with a group of fracture that will not receive the inferior alveolar nerve block, to see if regional anesthesia improve postoperative pain management of mandibular fractures.
The goal of this project is to facilitate the design of individualized postpartum anxiety (PPA) screening strategies in British Columbia (BC), Canada. A cohort of postpartum people (n=550) will be invited to complete the following seven questionnaires at 4-8 weeks after delivery: 1. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory 2. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale 3. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support 4. PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Emotional Distress-Anger, Short Form 5-a 5. Short Form Brief Pain Inventory 6. WHOQOL-BREF for assessing quality of life 7. PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short Form 8-b and PROMIS Sleep-Related Impairment Short Form 8-a The investigators will evaluate the feasibility of screening for postpartum anxiety and comorbid conditions through a web-based platform in a diverse BC population. They will assess the usability of the platform and questionnaires through 12-15 follow-up interviews with study participants and responses to the System Usability Scale. Their analysis will also identify patient characteristics and comorbidities (e.g., anger, pain, sleep disturbance) associated with a positive screen for postpartum anxiety.
This study aims to determine whether goal-directed analgesia using ANI(Analgesia/Nociception Index) can improve the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery.
This is a clinical trial aimed at understanding the impact of a shoulder exercise routine on postoperative shoulder pain in patients who have undergone laparoscopic hysterectomy. **Main Questions:** 1. Does implementing a shoulder exercise routine immediately after laparoscopic hysterectomy reduce postoperative shoulder pain? **Brief Explanation:** We want to see if doing shoulder exercises right after laparoscopic hysterectomy can help reduce the pain they might feel in their shoulders. This kind of pain can happen because of the gas used during the surgery. Using exercises could be a cost-effective and easy way to help patients recover better after the surgery. **Hypothesis:** We think that doing shoulder exercises right after laparoscopic hysterectomy will lower the amount of shoulder pain patients experience after the surgery. **Objective:** Our goal is to find out if a shoulder exercise routine can make a difference in how much shoulder pain patients have right after laparoscopic hysterectomy. **How We'll Do It:** This study aims to evaluate the impact of a shoulder exercise routine on reducing postoperative shoulder pain in women who have undergone total laparoscopic hysterectomy at the National Institute of Perinatology. Recognizing the high prevalence and intensity of post-laparoscopy shoulder pain, the study compares the effectiveness of shoulder exercises to hand exercises in managing this pain. Patients, selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be randomly assigned to either the shoulder or hand exercise group. The exercise regimen involves performing specific movements at regular intervals during the immediate postoperative period, except at night. Pain intensity will be measured using a Visual Analog Scale at various intervals postoperatively. The study controls for several variables, including visceral and incisional pain, duration of pneumoperitoneum, analgesic use, and patient characteristics like BMI and comorbidities, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the exercises' effectiveness. The hypothesis tests whether shoulder exercises can reduce shoulder pain more effectively than hand exercises. This research could have significant implications for enhancing recovery and pain management strategies post-laparoscopy.
This interventional randomized control trial aim to determine efficacy and safety of Oral pregabalin in improving after surgery pain control in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgeries under regional anesthesia. We'll compare the efficacy of pregabalin between two groups, pregabalin group and control group on the basis of their opioid consumption after knee operation.
Acute pain management for pediatric surgical patients intraoperatively and postoperatively is important for their comfort and psychological impact. Children aged 3-9 years old are included in the study and are divided randomly into two groups (45 children in each): Group D: Caudal block with bupivacaine 0.25% in a dose of (1 ml / kg) and dexmedetomidine 1μg/ kg. Group T: TAP block with bupivacaine 0.25% in a dose of (0.5 ml / kg).
The objective of this clinical trial is to compare two regional analgesia techniques in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty: IPACK (Infiltration of local anesthetic between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee) vs selective tibial nerve block. The main question is whether one of these peripheral blocks is more effective in reducing postoperative pain than the other. All patients will have a spinal block with an adductor canal block. One group will receive an IPACK block and the other group, a selective tibial nerve block. Postoperative pain scores and morphine consumption, among others, will be compared between groups.
In this study, the investigators compared ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block and rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) on postoperative analgesic effect in unilateral breast surgery.
Thoracotomy is among the most painful surgical procedures and can cause severe pain. Postoperative pain causes many complications. Therefore, pain management is important in patients undergoing thoracotomy. For this purpose, systemic analgesics are used along with ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in thoracotomy pain. The effectiveness of thoracic paravertebral block and serratus plane block in the treatment of post-thoracotomy pain will be evaluated by comparing their effectiveness and complications on postoperative pain. Since the epidural spread of the thoracic paravertebral block is more effective, the effectiveness of postoperative pain relief will be more effective
