Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different technologies, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality with modifications as passive content, active content, cognitive load modulation, and positive encouragement coaching to increase the pain threshold as assessed by immersing a hand in ice water.
Pain is a global public health issue and represents the most common reason for both physician consultation and hospital admissions . When unrelieved or poorly controlled, it is associated with medical complications, poor patient satisfaction and increased risk of developing chronic pain. Dexketoprofen is a new NSAID treating acute postoperative pain and when it combined with tramadol may have a better effect. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of the oral use of the combination of dexketoprofen/tramadole on the reduction of postoperative pain after total hip arthroplasty with minimal invasive anterior approach (AMIS).
The purpose of this study is to determine if a single dose of sublingual sufentanil is as or more efficacious than a single dose of IV fentanyl in a post anesthesia care setting.
Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is an FDA-approved bio regenerative technology, applied with a wearable device (SAM, Zetroz Systems LLC) for daily use. The treatment provides long-duration ultrasound for approximately four hours. This report included a retrospective convenience sample of 6 athletes from one sports medicine and rehabilitation facility. The objective of this report is to examine the real-world outcome data on symptoms improvement and return to function using Sam. It was hypothesized that LICUS stimulation, in conjunction with traditional therapies, will accelerate the healing process of musculoskeletal tissue leading to a reduction in pain, increase functionality, and a higher probability of returning to work and sports-related activities. The sample included athletes with sports-related musculoskeletal injuries. Demographics, injury history, treatment history, and clinical outcomes data were retrospectively collected for athletes who were treated with SAM in conjunction with traditional therapies. Clinical results showed a benefit from the treatment with a decrease in pain (100%), and 3 out of 6 athletes were able to return to work or sports (50%). Overall the study shows that Sam accelerates the healing of soft tissue leading to a decrease in both acute and chronic pain.
Postoperative pain management is critical for the fulfillment of the maternal duties. The transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block provides adequate postoperative analgesia in the T12 and L1 dermatomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the TFP block on postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores in patients undergoing cesarean section (CS) under spinal anesthesia.
The investigators conducted a prospective, block-randomized study to determine whether and to what extent changes in the default settings in the electronic medical record (EMR) affect opioid prescriptions for patients discharged from emergency departments (EDs).
Postoperative pain after cardiothoracic surgery can be a significant problem interfering with recovery, yet difficult to manage due to the sedating effects of opiates. These patients frequently have associated postoperative pulmonary changes and are at risk of respiratory depression with opioid analgesia. The ultrasound-guided transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTMPB) is a recently described regional anesthetic technique showing improvements in postoperative pain management. Further investigation is needed to establish the potential of the TTMPB as an analgesic modality in congenital cardiothoracic surgery in patients under the age of 18.
A total of 200 participants are predicted to be enrolled for completing questionnaires in relation of visual analogue scale, back pain disability and autonomy in Albania. A feasibility, validate, test-retest reliability and observational design is estimated.
Multimodal pain management is essential for recovery after surgery, aiming to target different pain mechanisms to minimize opioid usage and opioid-related adverse effects. Evidence for benefits and harms of various non-opioid analgesic combinations is, however, nearly non-existing, and large-scale trials are urgently needed. Recently, the investigators have demonstrated that combining paracetamol and ibuprofen is superior to each single drug when assessing pain after hip replacement. Further improvement is needed, investigating additional non-opioid analgesics to this combination. Glucocorticoids have anti-emetic and analgesic properties, but evidence for analgesic efficacy in combination with paracetamol and ibuprofen is lacking. The RECIPE trial is an investigator-initiated randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel, 4-group, blinded multicentre trial with 90-day follow-up investigating benefits and harms of different combinations of paracetamol, ibuprofen, and dexamethasone for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome is total use of IV morphine 0-24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes are pain (upon mobilisation, at rest, and during 5 m walk), and adverse events. Exploratory outcomes include quality of sleep, opioid-related adverse effects, serious adverse events (< 90 days), and patient reported disability score and quality of life (at 90 days). Based on sample-size calculations, 1060 patients are needed to detect a minimal clinically important difference in 24-hour morphine consumption of 8 mg, using a familywise type 1 error rate of 0.05 and a type 2 error rate of 0.2. The primary analyses will be based on the intention to treat population. More than six Danish university- and regional hospitals will participate in the trial. With this trial the investigators expect to lay the foundation for the best postoperative multimodal analgesic regimen for both total hip arthroplasty and possibly other surgeries, thereby facilitating recovery for millions of future surgical patients worldwide.
Immunization is one of the most significant preventive health measures in reducing morbidity and mortality caused by infectious diseases. Studies have shown that Sucrose is recommended to reduce pain associated with vaccination in neonates. The main aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of sucrose in reducing infant's pain outcomes during immunization among 10-24 month-old infants and toddlers.
