NCT ID: NCT01040234 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

Bilateral Dual TAP Block: Description of a Novel Four-point Approach

Start date: November 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Observational

A prospective study of 30 patients with severe postoperative pain following abdominal surgery, in which the dual TAP block technique has been used successfully to achieve pain relief. A description of ultrasound technique, effectiveness, duration and potential side effects of the pain treatment, with possible recommendations for future use.

NCT ID: NCT01030614 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

Dexamethasone Improves Postoperative Symptoms After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

dxt
Start date: January 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Dexamethasone has been reported to reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). However, its effects on other surgical outcomes such as pain and fatigue have been unclear. We evaluated the efficacy of preoperative dexamethasone in ameliorating postoperative symptoms after LC. Methods: Prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 210 patients scheduled for elective LC were analyzed after randomization to intravenous dexamethasone (8 mg) or to a placebo. All patients underwent standardized procedures for general anesthesia and surgery. Episodes of PONV and pain and fatigue scores were recorded on a visual analogue scale. Analgesic and antiemetic requirements were also recorded.

NCT ID: NCT01025102 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

The Addition of Sufentanil Interscalene Block in Shoulder Surgery

Start date: January 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects and side effects of interscale block performed with Naropin 0.1% cum sufentanil or Naropin 0.1% in shoulder surgery.

NCT ID: NCT01022528 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

Analgesic Effect of Preoperative Dexamethasone in Gynecological Laparotomies - a Dose-ranging Study

Start date: March 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the study is to examine the effect of the addition of intravenous dexamethasone 1.5 hours prior to induction of anesthesia on the post-operative opioid consumption, pain scores, fatigue, and recovery in patients undergoing gynecological surgery with laparotomy under general anesthesia. This is a dose finding study with two different doses (0.1 mg/kg vs. 0.2 mg/kg) of dexamethasone to find out the optimal efficacious dose of dexamethasone with minimal side effects. Dexamethasone has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and analgesic effects; and is superior to placebo in providing post-operative pain control, lower analgesic consumption, prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting, lesser post-operative fatigue, and better recovery profile. No dose response study has been done. The investigators hypothesize that a higher dose of dexamethasone may have an incremental beneficial effect.

NCT ID: NCT01012232 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

Local Anesthetic in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): Volume Versus Concentration

Start date: June 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

In a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial, 48 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty with placement of an intracapsular catheter will be randomized to receive bolus injection of ropivacaine in high volume/low concentration (20 ml, 5 mg/mL) or low volume/high concentration (10 mL, 10 mg/mL) 6 and 24 hours postoperatively, and pain will be assessed at rest and with mobilization for 2 hours after injections.

NCT ID: NCT01008553 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

A Confirmatory Study of Fentanyl in Participants With Post-herpetic Neuralgia, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or Postoperative Pain Syndrome

Start date: December 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fentanyl in opioid-naive participants with post-herpetic neuralgia, complex regional pain syndrome or post-operative pain syndrome who cannot obtain a sufficient analgesic effect by the treatment of non-opioid analgesics (drug used to control pain).

NCT ID: NCT00993798 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

An International Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of SABER®-Bupivacaine for Postoperative Pain Control in Patients Following Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery

Start date: April 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The objective is to identify the optimal dose of SABER-Bupivacaine for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery on the basis of pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety evaluations. The study duration consists of a screening period up to 14 days and a treatment period 14 days with a long term follow up visit at 6 months. The study will provide further data on safety.

NCT ID: NCT00993226 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

An International Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of SABER®-Bupivacaine for Postoperative Pain Control in Patients Undergoing Hysterectomy

Start date: May 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The objective is to identify the optimal dose of SABER-Bupivacaine for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing hysterectomy on the basis of pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety evaluations. The study duration consists of a screening period up to 14 days and a treatment period 14 days with a long term follow up visit at 6 months. The study will provide further data on the efficacy and safety of the product.

NCT ID: NCT00986882 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

To Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Analgesic Efficacy of SAF312 in Postoperative Dental Pain Patients

Start date: September 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The study will assess the analgesic efficacy and safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of SAF312 in postoperative dental pain patients after 3rd molar extraction.

NCT ID: NCT00983918 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

Pain After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Start date: September 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To the investigators' knowledge, no study has looked at differences in postoperative pain when comparing maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, and propofol in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The investigators' hypothesis is that total intravenous anesthesia with propofol will lead to less postoperative pain in the first 24 hours after laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane or sevoflurane. PURPOSE To find out if maintenance of anesthesia with propofol leads to less postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane, or sevoflurane.
