Filter by:SPRINT PNS System will be offered to patients with postoperative knee pain following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who meet eligibility criteria and consistent with established coverage policy. SPRINT PNS System will be implanted for 60 days. At the discretion of the physician, the first lead may be placed to stimulate the nerve innervating the region of greatest pain. If pain is not adequately addressed by the first lead when assessed at 10 days, a second lead may be placed approximately 2 weeks following the initial lead placement.
The investigators are going to study the difference in postoperative pain control after administration of oral versus intravenous formulation of acetaminophen
A randomized clinical trial will be performed in parallel, placebo controlled, triple-blind to evaluate the effectiveness of the association Bromelina and Horse-chestnut (titrated in escin) (Noflogo®, Mavenpharma s.r.l., Rome, Italy) in the management of post trauma-surgery following surgery periodontal and implant surgery.
This prospective double-blinded randomized study will be conducted to compare ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection and ultrasound-guided genicular nerve block for postoperative analgesia after knee arthroscopy.
The intra- and peri-articular infiltration of local anaesthetics realized at the end of total hip arthroplasty surgeries is an effective analgesic technique, but it can be insufficient to manage the possibly intense postoperative pain. Regional anaesthesia (RA) like the recently described pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block could provide additional analgesic benefit in this setting. Investigators main objective is to demonstrate the analgesic benefits (postoperative pain score and morphine consumption) of the PENG block when added to intra- and peri-articular infiltration of local anaesthetic following total hip arthroplasty. Investigators make the assumption that i) the PENG bloc could reduce the postoperative 24 first hours morphine consumption by 30%, ii) the PENG block could spare the motor function of the quadriceps and adductor muscles, and iii) the PENG bloc could be well tolerated allowing a high level of patient satisfaction.
This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility of a full study. The purpose is to assess the analgesic effectiveness of the serratus anterior plane (SAP) block following cardiac surgery. Patients will be randomized to receive either Ropivacaine 0.2% or placebo via bilateral SAP block catheters for 72 hours postoperatively.
Pain is common in the first 2 days after major craniotomy. Inadequate analgesia may lead to an increased risk of postoperative complications. Most pain following craniotomy arises from the pericranial muscles and soft tissues of the scalp. Scalp nerve blocks with local anesthesia seem to provide effective, safe, however transient postoperative analgesia which does not seem to meet the requirements of craniotomy. Currently, peripheral dexamethasone has been observed to significantly prolong the duration of analgesia of nerve blocks (e.g., saphenous nerve block, adductor canal block, thoracic paravertebral block, brachial plexus nerve block). On the contrary, a study reported that perineural dexamethasone did not appear to prolong the analgesic time after supratentorial craniotomy. However, all patients in this study were given 24 mg of oral or intravenous dexamethasone regularly at least 7 days during the perioperative period, which possibly masked the role of single local low doses of perineural dexamethasone. Therefore, the analgesic effect of single dexamethasone for scalp nerve blocks without the backdrop of perioperative glucocorticoid deserves further clarification.
Postoperative pain remains an important challenge for both patients and clinicians. Despite advances in pain management techniques, many patients continue to describe their pain as moderate to severe immediately after surgery. Poor postoperative pain control is associated with increased morbidity, functional impairment, and higher health care costs. While opioids currently represent the mainstay of treating surgical pain, their use is associated with significant side effects including respiratory depression, delayed recovery of bowel function as well as the potential for long-term use. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new pain relievers with a safer side effect profiles. One such drug that has been receiving increasing attention is ketamine. Previous studies have focused on using intravenous ketamine postoperatively which requires a monitored setting but have ignored the oral form. By using the oral route of administration, ketamine could potentially be used by patients in a less resource-intensive manner with similar efficacy. Therefore, Investigators propose to conduct the Ketamine for Acute Postoperative Analgesia (KAPA) pilot study to examine the role of oral ketamine in improving recovery after spine surgery.
This study will measure the efficacy of hypnosis on pain after a major abdominal surgery. The aim is to further improve comfort and rehabilitation of patients after surgery, beyond the usual early recovery after surgery (ERAS) enhancement protocols. Patients will be randomised (1:2) to the standard of care regarding pain management and rehabilitation, as part of the ERAS protocol, vs. ERAS + an additional hypnosis intervention. In this group, hospitalised patients are given 3 hypnosis sessions targeting analgesia between postoperative day 1 to 12. The study will collect outcomes about pain and its burden, sleep quality, appetite, mobilisation and mood. Secondary outcomes also include use of pain medication and length of hospital stay.
Purpose: To explore effects of S-ketamine on postoperative pain and cognitive dysfunction after tibial fracture and orthopedic surgery. To evaluate and examine the incidence of adverse effects with the purpose of selecting the optimum dose.
