Filter by:This prospective randomized clinical trial evaluates the effects of a monitor-guided opioid analgesia during general anesthesia. To date no standard-monitoring device exists to specifically reflect the analgesic component of general anesthesia. Quality and safety of general anesthesia are of major clinical importance and should be improved by limiting the opioid analgesic's dosage to the minimum amount needed. The study compares the effects of monitoring nociception during general anesthesia with different innovative techniques in comparison to routine clinical practice.
Prospective, randomized and controlled who will be conducted in Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital and whose objectives are: - To observe if the alterations of the NoL index and the standard monitoring (Mean Arterial Blood Pressure and Heart Rate) (using the variability of NoL index and standard monitoring, peak NoL index and peak standard monitoring values, and number of time passed over their respective threshold for nociceptive response) are more accentuated after laryngoscopy using the classical MAC blade versus single-use disposable blade of the Glidescope. - To observe the nociceptive response (using the variability of NoL index and standard monitoring, peak NoL index and peak standard monitoring values, and number of time passed over their respective threshold for nociceptive response) related to the insertion of endotracheal tube between vocal cords during the intubation. Study plans to enroll 50 adult patients scheduled to undergo either general, gynecological, neurological, orthopedic, plastic or urological surgery under general anesthesia and who necessitate endotracheal intubation.
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a proprietary nutritional supplement that contains Krill Oil (KO), astaxanthin (AX) and hyaluronic acid (HA) to reduce pain and discomfort in participants, compared to an inert placebo (palm oil) control and to a positive control (glucosamine-chondroitin). The purpose of the study is to determine if the combination of KO, AX, and HA will benefit participants with joint pain.
After conduction a pilot study, pupillary dilation reflex (PDR) is measured in response to nociceptive stimulation perioperatively.
Chronic axial low back pain is a public health problem and has a high socioeconomic impact. The dorsal ganglion of the second spinal nerve (GDL2) is a cluster of neuronal bodies responsible for sensory afferent inputs from more than 80% of the lumbar region. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is proven effective to help relieve pain. Thus, the aim of this project is to determine the effect of LLLT on GDL2 when applied to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic axial low back pain. Methodology: 45 patients will be randomized into three groups: laser, radiofrequency and local anesthetic. The patient will be positioned in a prone horizontal position under anesthetic monitoring. The intervertebral foramen between the second and third lumbar vertebrae will be accessed by percutaneous puncture guided by fluoroscopy. In the local anesthetic group, injection of 1 ml lidocaine without vasoconstrictor will be applied in the tubes G20, 150 mm long and 5 mm active tip in contact with the target. In the radiofrequency group, neuromodulation will be held for 300 seconds at 42oC. In the laser group, the laser Photon III® (DCM) will be applied through optic fiber crossing G18 cannulas, during 84 seconds. The pain score will be assessed by visual analog scale. Temperature will be measured and aspirate periganglionic sample, trans-operatively, to study Interleucins-1β and TNF-alpha assessed by ELISA and genetic evaluation trough RNA seek, RNA isolation and ATP quantification. The data will be evaluated for normality and subjected to appropriate statistical analysis, in order to seek representation, as same as the level of significance of the studied samples.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the value of analgesia nociception index (ANI) is influenced by variations of systemic venous return (cardiac preload) under general anaesthesia.
It was well known that the mirror therapy could decrease pain of upper-limb amputated patients. The mirror therapy is known to make a plastic change some parts of the brain perceiving the painful body part and modulating its signal by feedback of visual information mirrored with the corresponding contra-lateral normal parts. In this study, post-operative analgesic efficiency of the virtual reality using a mirror therapy after total knee arthroplasty will be evaluated. This clinical trial will be performed in the form of prospective, single-blind (i.e. assessor-blind), parallel group, randomized (allocation ratio 1:1), single cohort.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of AZD3161 on mechanical pain sensitivity and axon reflex flare in normal and ultraviolet C irradiated skin.
