Filter by:This investigation will be a prospective, randomized trial. The study population will consist of adult patients scheduled to undergo major shoulder arthroscopy procedures with anesthesiology at the Ambulatory Services Center (Outpatient Surgery Center). Forty-six subjects will be enrolled in this study and will be randomized into one of two arms: 1) Single-injection bupivacaine HCl plus a subsequent bupivacaine CISB, 2) Single-injection bupivacaine HCl plus liposomal bupivacaine included in the same injection. These procedures will take place, using an ultrasound-guided method, approximately one hour prior to surgical procedure. Subjects will be followed for seven days to assess pain control by the Modified Brief Pain Inventory (MBPI) survey and outcome factors related to study and procedure using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon Shoulder Score (ASES Shoulder Score).
This study will compare arthroscopic transosseous versus anchored rotator cuff repairs in terms of clinical outcomes, rotator cuff integrity, and cost-effectiveness. With the collection of patient-reported outcomes the health of patients undergoing each rotator cuff repair technique will be assessed. The aims of this study will be achieved through a clinical randomized controlled trial and a cost-effectiveness analysis.
Shoulder pain accounts for 16% of all musculoskeletal complaints in the healthy adult population. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is the most common cause of shoulder pain. Many patients with chronic pain from subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) will fail treatment efforts and have longstanding pain. This project will evaluate the efficacy of a novel approach to treatment, percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation, for participants with chronic shoulder pain due to subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).
Total shoulder surgery (arthroplasty) is a widely successful method of treating shoulder arthritis. Although the goal of the procedure is pain relief, post-operative pain is unavoidable. Pain is a common side effect that many patients undergo while in the clinical setting and is a vital factor in influencing the length of hospital stay, narcotic usage, as well as overall patient satisfaction. Post-operative pain management typically involves elevated usage of narcotics, which is a concern among clinicians and researchers alike. To combat this issue, research is examining intraoperative procedures as a means of reducing post-operative pain scores. Research has discovered the advantages of utilizing local anesthetic techniques as opposed to just general anesthesia. Local anesthetic blocks function by preventing the generation of nerve impulses by increasing the action-potential threshold, thereby inhibiting movement. Previous studies have demonstrated the success of local anesthetic interscalene blocks across several medical procedures. For instance, Exparel (liposomal bupivacaine) has been effective in reducing post-operative pain scores in tonsillectomy and shoulder arthroplasty. Another local anesthetic, Ropivacaine, has been found to be potent when utilized via a cervical paravertebral catheter among thoracic procedures. Our study will compare Exparel (bupivacaine liposome) with Ropivacaine continuous infusion for post-operative pain scores in total shoulder surgery patients. Additionally, we will collect data on complications, length of stay, and other variables.
Participants who choose to participate in this study, will either have their tendon repaired to tendon, so-called tenotomy repair, or tendon repaired to bone, so-called peel repair.
A prospective observational study conducted at the American University of Beirut Medical center that targets patients undergoing shoulder surgeries. It is conducted to to prospectively collect patient, surgery and anesthesia-related variables and perform correlation studies with postoperative pain severity, patients' satisfaction and analgesic consumption following shoulder surgery. In addition, identifying predictors for postoperative pain will contribute to adjust pain management protocols as per surgical and patients' factors.
Rotator cuff surgery is mostly performed on an outpatient basis, and many patients still experience moderate to severe pain after surgery, despite the use of regional anesthesia and opioids. The specific aim is to determine whether a comprehensive pathway that includes a well-defined regional technique and multimodal analgesia will reduce the worst pain with movement 0-48 hours after block placement compared to the current standard practice. This is a 'before and after' study. We plan to have 70 patients studied prior to initiation of a pathway, and 70 patients studied after initiation of a pathway. Both groups will receive identical postoperative follow-up.
This study is to investigate the effects of exergame on shoulder pain and motor function of upper extremity in individuals with stroke.
Shoulder pain in people with spinal cord injury is one of the most prevalent in acute and chronic patients because of weakness in shoulder periarticular muscles, and also because of overuse of these part of the body in assistive devices. This study aims to evidence if dry needling (a physiotherapy technique) is also useful in patients with spinal cord injury, and how long it could hold out without or less pain.
Patients diagnosed with acute cholecystitis benefit from emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Patients who had emergency LC showed improvement in quality of life in one month compared to those treated. Delayed LC (after the acute cholecystitis has passed) and less time to recover from work. This strategy reduces the risk of repeated referrals with more pain or pancreatitis. There are many studies on the efficacy of intraoperative intraperitoneal bupivacaine(IPBV) with elective LC on pain of IPBV. However, the prospective study of reducing the postoperative pain of emergency LC - IPBV is very few. This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy of IPBV in patients with emergency LC.
