Filter by:This study evaluates the postoperative analgesic effects of transversalis fascia plane block and anterior quadratus lumborum block in patients having cesarean section under general anesthesia. General anesthesia will be performed to all patients for the surgery.
This study aims to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of a new paracetamol formulation (paracetamol Uniflash 125mg/1.25mL) for buccal use after single dose.
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is a possible method of pain control involving the application of electromagnetic energy (also termed nonthermal, pulsed, shortwave radiofrequency therapy). Food and Drug Administration-cleared devices have been in clinical use for over 70 years. For decades, available devices consisted of a large signal generator and bulky coil applicator that were not portable and produced significant electromagnetic interference, making them impractical for common use. However, small, lightweight, relatively inexpensive, noninvasive, Food and Drug Administration-cleared devices that function for 30 days are now available to treat acute and chronic pain, decrease inflammation and edema, and hasten wound healing and bone regeneration. Therefore, it has the potential to concurrently improve analgesia and decrease or even negate opioid requirements, only without the limitations of opioids and peripheral nerve blocks. The purpose of this pilot study is to explore the possibility of treating acute postoperative pain with nonthermal, pulsed shortwave (radiofrequency) therapy, optimize the study protocol, and estimate the treatment effect in preparation for developing subsequent definitive clinical trials.
The advantage of slow-release opioid allows for less fluctuation in drug (pain killer) levels in the blood and an extended period within the effective range for pain relief. The slow-release opioids have been preferred over the short-acting opioids because of the longer duration of action, which lessens the frequency and severity of end-of-dose pain. Herein, the investigators propose the use of low dose slow-release opioid formulation offers better pain control in the first 48 hours post-operatively in open abdominal urologic surgeries.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether listening to music during surgery has an effect on pain or anxiety after surgery.
Patients experiencing pain after undergoing cardiac surgery may also experience prolonged immobilization, insufficient respiratory functions, and the inability to cough due to median sternotomy. Therefore, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and length of hospital stay of these patients will increase significantly. many facial plane blocks have been introduced as simple and safe intervention for thoracic wall anesthesia and analgesia. Parasternal intercostal nerve block (PSIB) is a "superficial block" which involves local anesthetic (LA) infiltration in the intercostal space around the sternum where the anterior branches of intercostal nerves exist. Intraoperative LA administration under direct vision of the surgeon ensures adequate delivery of drugs and minimizes bleeding complication or inadvertent administration in blood vessels. Meanwhile, Preoperative administration of LA guided by ultrasound imaging has been used in variable surgical settings with noticeable success because of preemptive inhibition of noxious stimuli.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of grasping reflex stimulation applied during peripheral intravenous central catheter (PIC) intervention on pain and stress in preterm infants receiving treatment and care in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study using an axillary brachial plexus block in patients undergoing elective surgery of the distal forearm and hand to characterize and describe the pharmacokinetics of bupivacaine associated with perineural dexamethasone. The pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed by measuring bupivacaine plasma levels at different time intervals after the blockade (15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes), allowing comparison between 2 different groups: Bupivacaine (B) and Bupivacaine-dexamethasone (BD). Thus, the hypothesis is that plasma levels of bupivacaine during the first 90 minutes after a blockade are lower in the presence of perineural dexamethasone, suggesting a decrease, at least initially, in systemic absorption from the injection site.
Hip fractures are morbid conditions, especially in elderly patients, and their treatment is usually surgical. Pericapsular nerve group block is a newly defined block and targets the hip capsule. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the perioperative analgesic efficacy of PENG blocks applied in two different volumes in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia.
Obesity has become one of the world's leading health problems. It is known that obesity causes many diseases and negatively affects the quality of life. For this reason, many conditions that are thought to be effective in obesity and concern the quality of life of patients have been scientifically researched and continue to be investigated. One of them is postoperative pain. Although there are studies stating that there is no relationship between body mass index (BMI) and postoperative pain, when the literature data is examined, it is thought that obesity is a risk factor for postoperative pain and changes pain sensitivity and analgesic needs of patients. There are also studies in the literature stating that the level of postoperative pain increases in parallel with each unit increase in BMI. After thoracic surgery, many analgesic methods have been suggested, including thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA), thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), intercostal nerve blocks (ICSB), erector spina plane block (ESPB), serratus anterior plane block (SAPB). This study will compare the effects of BMI on postoperative pain in patients undergoing TPVB for postoperative analgesia and thoracoscopic surgery.
