Filter by:The effect of pain agreements to reduce opioid misuse is an accepted practice in many settings, but it has never been applied to the acute care setting. Pain agreements are considered the standard of care for chronic pain management reliant on opioid prescribing, and they are a mandated component of care in many states. Therefore, the adjunct of safe opioid use agreements into acute pain management offers a logical extension of current practices from chronic pain management. This study will test the use of agreements to improve safe opioid use to prevent misuse and opioid-related harm.
This prospective, multicenter, single-arm study is being conducted to confirm safety, effectiveness, and usability of da Vinci Surgical System in performing robotic-assisted surgical procedures.
Self-fixed mesh and postoperative pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery, a randomized clinical trial
The study utilizes the same tissue specimens gathered for previous investigations and removed from 15 patients already operated for inguinal hernia, who for different reasons needed additional surgery in the previously operated groin.
Prospective national cohort study of patients submitted to elective inguinal hernia repair. The primary outcome is the prevalence of chronic postoperative inguinal pain, according to the EuraHS QoL questionnaire at 3 months postoperatively. The study will be delivered in all Portuguese regions through a collaborative research network. Four 2-week inclusion periods will be open for recruitment. A site-specific questionnaire will capture procedure volume and logistical facilities for hernia surgery.
This study aim to compare efficacy and safety of Laparoendoscopic single site total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair /LESS TEP/ and traditional total extraperitoneal hernia repair with 3 ports /TEP/.
Open prospective randomised clinical trial enrolling women who suffer from inguinal or femoral hernia, to evaluate if TEP approach is superior to TAPP concerning postoperative development, principally postoperative pain, with no increase of recurrent hernia at the one-year follow-up visit.
This study compares the use of self-fixating mesh to mesh fixation with tackers in the management of inguinal hernia by laparoscopic method. Half of the participants in the study will be treated using self-fixating mesh, while the other half will be treated using conventional mesh fixed with tackers.
The cutaneous silent period is a non-invasive technique that gives insight into the function of thin A delta fibers and as such can be a complement to conventional electrophysiological methods used to study the peripheral nerves. Clonidine is a selective partial agonist of the alpha-2 receptors which, added intrathecally to levobupivacaine, enhances the effect of a local anesthetic, prolongs sensory and motor block during local anesthesia and extends the length of post-operative analgesia. It is believed that clonidine achieves this effect by activating the postsynaptic alpha-2 receptors in the gelatine substance of the spinal cord and blocking the conduction of A-delta and C fibers. The aim of the study is to examine functional changes of Aδ - fibers during the application of spinal anesthesia by measuring the cutaneous slinet period and compare the effect of intrathecal administration of a combination of local anesthetic and clonidine in the quiet skin period in relation to the application of local anesthetic only.
This is a post-market study of the Rebound Hernia Repair Device to further establish the safety, efficacy, and utility of the Rebound Hernia Repair Device in a controlled population. The Rebound Hernia Repair Device will be used for its approved indication in comparison to "standard" hernia mesh. Two-way students t-tests, Chi squared analysis and ANOVA will be used to detect differences in variables. The study is sufficiently powered to detect a 25% difference. The study data will include quality of life assessments, visual analogue scale , SF-36, Carolinas Comfort Scale), recurrence of hernia (technical failure), use of medications (pain) and complications/adverse events.
