Filter by:In this study, continuous erector spinae plane block (ESPB) will be compared to continuous epidural analgesia in patients undergoing elective hip replacement surgery. Opioid consumption, pain severity, quadriceps femoris muscle strength, ability to walk, and quality of recovery will be evaluated. Moreover, chronic pain severity in months after the hospital discharge will be assessed.
This study will be a phase 1, open-label, bioavailability, safety and PK study of topically applied transcutaneous ketorolac tromethamine gel 12.5% (/w) (NOV-1776) versus intravenous administration of approved ketorolac tromethamine injection, USP (15mg/mL) comparator in healthy volunteers, including an evaluation of safety, tolerability, and efficacy in gout participants with flare-up.
This study is a randomized, controlled trial. A total of 48 patients will be randomized to receive sufentanil or remifentanil during robot-assisted nephrectomy surgery.
Subjects will be screened over the phone or in Tufts GYN clinic for participation in the study. If eligible and interested in participating, written informed consent (and assent if applicable) will be obtained. After informed consent/assent, the patient will be enrolled in the study. The patient will decide if they desire to use TENS unit during IUD insertion appointment and inform the study team. The clinic visit will proceed as normal, with additional study proceedings as follows. The study personnel will complete the 'Background Questionnaire' with the patient prior to IUD insertion. During the IUD insertion appointment, study personnel will assist in collection of the 'Study visit' data collection form. This includes recording the patient's pain score at various time points throughout the insertion procedure: - anticipated pain during IUD insertion - baseline pain prior to insertion - speculum insertion - tenaculum placement - paracervical block administration (if performed) - cervical dilation (if performed) - uterine sounding - IUD insertion - 5 minutes after IUD insertion Study personnel will also time the insertion procedure and collect additional data as outlined in the 'Study visit data collection form.' After IUD insertion, the participant will be asked to complete the 'Post-IUD Insertion Survey.' Once this survey is complete, this will conclude the study participation. Participation will last through the study visit only. As part of the standard of care, a urine pregnancy test will be obtained and confirmed negative prior to IUD insertion. Patients will receive routine pain management modalities per shared decision-making with their clinical provider which may include NSAID administration, paracervical block, and heating pad.
This study aims to evaluate the use of virtual reality as an adjunct to standard care for patients with sickle cell disease experiencing vaso-occlusive crises.
The study aimed to investigate the impact of preemptive pregabalin on the postoperative pain severity and the requirement of analgesic drugs in patients undergoing robotic radical prostatectomy surgery as primary outcome. Additionally, it examined the effect of pregabalin on early postoperative respiratory dynamics as secondary outcome.
Digital communication tools are becoming ubiquitous in healthcare, though their impact on patient/provider communication, healthcare utilization, and outcomes remains poorly established. M Health Fairview (MHFV) in collaboration with the Center for Learning Health System Sciences (CLHSS) Rapid Eval team will be evaluating one such communication application: OPY, which leverages the Epic-Care Companion functionality to remove barriers in communicating with the patient's care team. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of a digital, post-operative patient engagement tool (Epic-Care Companion made available through MyChart), OPY, which has the goal of preventing patients from becoming addicted to opioids or to suffer from opioid misuse or diversion. In the proposed pragmatic trial, standard care with education available in MyChart and the patient after visit summary will be augmented by OPY. OPY is available to patients starting the same day they go home from surgery with a new opioid prescription. OPY provides a daily interactive experience that collects patient pain and side-effect information, provides advice for pain management, and uses behavioral "nudges" to encourage timely weaning and responsible disposal of opioid medications. The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the effect of three versions of OPY on measures of opiate use relative to the standard of care in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.
This study will utilize a replicated single case experimental design (RSCD) to investigate the effectiveness of a brief mindfulness meditation (MM) vs clinical hypnosis (HYP) training for improving pain in injured elite athletes. The primary outcome is change in pain intensity. It is hypothesized that: (1) both treatments will engender clinically meaningful improvement in pain intensity; (2) change in cognitive processes will be a unique mechanism underlying improved pain outcome in MM, and (3) change in cognitive content will be a unique mechanism underlying improved pain outcome in HYP. This research program has the potential to reduce athletes' uncertainty around pain, time out with injury and improve pain management during rehabilitation and recovery from injury.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic efficacy of adding dexmedetomidine versus ibuprofen to bupivacaine for intraperitoneal instillation after laparoscopic gynecological procedures. The main questions to answer are: - Which is more effective for controlling postoperative pain within the first 24 hours after the procedure? - Which is more convenient for the patients with fewer side effects and opioid consumption? Participants will be asked to assess - The postoperative pain severity by VAS score - The onset of the first analgesic request - The incidence of side effects like nausea and vomiting Researchers will compare the dexmedetomidine group, the ibuprofen group, and the bupivacaine (control) group to see which one will be superior to the others.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to explore the feasibility of preoperative peripheral venous cannulation pain score in predicting acute pain after total knee arthroplasty, including resting pain and movement-evoked pain.
