Filter by:Hip fractures are morbid conditions, especially in elderly patients, and their treatment is usually surgical. Pericapsular nerve group block targets the hip capsule. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the perioperative analgesic efficacy of PENG blocks applied investigation of the effect of perinuerally and systemic dexamethasone on pain scores in the first 24 hours of PENG block in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia.
A randomized controlled study was planned to determine the effect of manual pressure and local cold spray application on the intensity of pain, fear, hemodynamic parameters, and satisfaction related to the pain reduction of human Anti-D immunoglobulin injection administered to pregnant women.
The incidence of femoral neck fracture in Europe is 330/10000 per year. It is increasing every year due to the aging of the population. In patients 55 years and older, hip fracture-related mortality is estimated to be between 4% and 16% at one month and between 11% and 43% at one year after surgery. The reduced risk of postoperative complications associated with the use of regional anesthesia, shorter mobilization times, and reduced morphine consumption in hip fractures have been reported, and have been incorporated into postoperative pain control as part of multimodal strategies. PENG has been described for postoperative pain control for surgery on the hip joint or for the treatment of post-traumatic pain associated with proximal femur/femoral head fractures. Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block is used in combination with other peripheral block methods to provide analgesia in the lateral thigh. The investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of adding lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block to PENG block on pain scores and opioid consumption in femoral fracture procedures under spinal anesthesia.
Acute postoperative pain after breast cancer surgery is usually moderate to severe, and inadequate postoperative pain management can significantly increase perioperative analgesic consumption, prolong hospital stay, and even cause long-term persistent pain such as postmastectomy pain syndrome. A multimodal analgesic approach (NSAII, paracetamol, opioids, local infiltration, facial plane blocks and paravertebral and periparavertebral blocks) is recommended. Paravertebral block (PVB) is considered the gold standard analgesic method for breast surgery. However, PVB is an invasive block requiring advanced skills and deep injection in close proximity to the pleura, intercostal nerves, neuraxis, great vessels and intercostal neurovascular bundles. As a result, the ongoing risks of pneumothorax, neuraxial spread, hypotension and systemic toxicity preclude its routine use in the day surgery setting. Therefore, alternative blocks have been developed. Various regional techniques such as Serratus plan block (SPB), interpectoral/pectoroserratus blocks (PECS I/II), erector spina plan block (ESPB) and rhomboid intercostal plan block (RIB) have been used to relieve pain after breast surgery. However, local anesthetic distribution may be affected by the surgical incision in the chest muscles. ESPB can be performed from cervical to sacral vertebrae, but clinical, cadaveric and radiologic results are inconsistent. RIB provides hemithoracic analgesia; however, RIB does not cover the cranial aspect of the T2 dermatome. A meta-analysis reported that SPB effectively relieves acute postoperative pain, reduces nausea and vomiting, and improves perioperative anesthesia outcomes in breast surgery. In another study compared with placebo, it was reported that serratus plane block provided less pain at rest, but there was no significant difference in reducing postoperative opioid consumption. Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plan Block is performed in the fascial plane between the serratus posterior superior muscle and intercostal muscles at the second and third costal level. SPSIB provides hemithoracic analgesia from the paraspinal region to the anteromedial region of the chest wall including the axillary region. In a case series of patients undergoing breast surgery, it was reported that the costal plane plays an important role in preventing pneumothorax, provides a natural barrier to the pleura, and may be a good choice for postoperative analgesia management as part of multimodal analgesia after breast surgery. In this study, the investigators aimed to observationally investigate the effect of serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block on postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery under general anesthesia.
Subjects were patients of the five surgeons with Surgical Associates of Mansfield (SAM) who underwent an elective or urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy; or elective or urgent laparoscopic or open hernia repair (inguinal, ventral, or umbilical); and who otherwise met the inclusion criteria. I
The study aimed to investigate clinical effect of autogenous dentin graft on patients following mandibular wisdom tooth extraction. The primary outcomes are pain, swelling, trismus and soft tissue healing index within one week after surgery. The investigators also measured periodontal healing of distal aspect of the adjacent second molar up to 2 year after the surgery.
This is a retrospective study looking at patients who received a nerve block for surgery and assessing pain after the nerve block resolves, with or without an educational intervention, over two periods of time.
This study is comprised of three separate pharmacogenetic trials grouped into a single protocol due to similarities in the intervention, the hypotheses, and the trial design. The three trials are the Acute Pain Trial, the Chronic Pain Trial, and the Depression Trial. Participants can enroll in only one of the three trials. All three trials were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under NCT04445792. In July 2023 each of the three treatment trials was registered under a separate NCT# and NCT04445792 was converted to a screening record per recent guidance on master protocol research programs (MPRPs). This record is specific to the Acute Pain Trial within the ADOPT-PGx protocol. The Acute Pain Trial is a prospective, multicenter, two arm randomized pragmatic trial. Participants meeting eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to either immediate pharmacogenetic testing and genotype-guided post-surgical opioid therapy (Intervention arm) or standard care and pharmacogenetic testing after 6 months (Control arm). The investigators will test the hypothesis that pharmacogenetic testing and genotype guided pain management therapy improves pain control after surgery in participants who's body processes some pain medicines slower than normal.
This work aims to study the neural correlates and determinants of pain dynamics related to changes in a noxious stimulus.
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the study of how genes affect a person's response to drugs. PGx testing for certain genes can help predict the risk of side effects or therapeutic failure from analgesics. Testing is not regularly performed in clinical practice due to long wait times for results and challenges with integrating test results in the electronic health record. Investigators leading this study hope to find out if providing surgeons with the ability to order a PGx test and electronically receive results with dosing recommendations will increase the use of these tests to guide analgesic choice and improve patient outcomes. This is a prospective, two-arm randomized implementation study. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive genotype-guided analgesic selection (intervention arm) or usual care (control arm). Both cohorts will undergo pharmacogenetic testing at the time of consenting. The investigators will primarily measure the feasibility of using this test to guide analgesic selection.
