NCT ID: NCT06062108 Recruiting - Cirrhosis Clinical Trials

Prevalence of Pain in Hospitalized Cirrhotic Patients

LIVERPAIN
Start date: November 10, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

According to the WHO, pain is an "unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, linked to existing or potential tissue damage, or described in terms suggestive of such damage". It is a legal obligation to evaluate and take care of it (law of 03/04/2022). However, there are still areas where this is not addressed, particularly in cirrhotic patients (Piano V et al. 2023). The global prevalence of cirrhosis increased by 74.53% between 1990 and 2017 (Liu YB et al, 2022, INSERM France file and Zhai M et al. 2021). In France, the prevalence of cirrhosis is estimated to be 200,000 patients (Cohorte Constances 2017; Serfaty 2019). The causes are varied: toxic (alcohol), viral (hepatitis B, C, HIV), genetic (hemochromatosis, primary biliary cirrhosis) but also iatrogenic or linked to a metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The first symptoms of cirrhosis are fatigue, loss of appetite and weight, nausea and vomiting, discomfort and abdominal pain. More serious symptoms may appear such as depression, confusion, sleep disturbances, edema of the lower limbs, ascites, severe pruritus or jaundice. All of these symptoms can be the cause of the pain. However, to date, there are no studies in France on the epidemiology of pain in patients with cirrhosis (Piano V et al. 2023, Klinge M, et al, 2018). To evaluate the prevalence of pain in cirrhotic patients hospitalized at the Center Hospitalier de la Dracénie in Draguignan. Patients hospitalized at the Dracénie CH with a diagnosis of cirrhosis in its patients will be identified in the various departments by a referring doctor who will have to contact Dr PIANO. The latter, as investigating doctor, will then be able to select the patients meeting the inclusion criteria of the protocol and the informants of the existence of the research. He will explain the study to them in detail, give them sufficient time for reflection before obtaining their oral agreement and giving them the information-no-opposition letter. The research will require a single consultation lasting between 15 and 45 minutes. During the visit, the patient will be asked whether or not they are experiencing pain.

NCT ID: NCT06056245 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Diseases

Methadone Pharmacokinetics in End-stage Renal Disease

MCKD
Start date: April 5, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to describe the influence of renal function on the pharmacokinetics of methadone used through an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) pump for the management of acute postoperative pain. After surgery the participants will use an IV-PCA of methadone and blood samples will be withdrawn to measure the plasmatic levels of it. The main question the study aims to answer is: • Is the pharmacokinetic of methadone used in an IV-PCA pump impaired in patients with chronic kidney disease?

NCT ID: NCT06020677 Recruiting - Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trials

Latinx Children and Surgery

Start date: August 23, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Over 60 million persons in the United States (US) identify themselves as Latinx and 25.6% are children under the age of 16. Surgical disparities for adults and children have been identified as a major problem in the US and can be experienced at multiple points along a patient's health care trajectory. Data from the investigator's center indicates that a substantial portion of Latinx children who undergo surgery experience high anxiety and postoperative pain as well as postoperative impairments in psychological and physical functioning as compared to White non-Latin children who undergo surgery. Recent growth in use of mobile devices provides us an opportunity to create low-cost mobile health (mHealth) behavioral interventions to reduce this disparity in surgical outcomes. In a previous National Institutes of Health (NIH) award, the principal investigator (PI) developed and tested an evidence based mHealth tailored intervention (WebTIPS) that aims to prepare and be a companion of a child and their family during a surgical event. WebTIPS aims to enhance the recovery of the child in several ways such as reducing anxiety and pain and is based on information provision, modeling, and teaching of coping skills. WebTIPS, however, was developed and validated with a population of primarily White non-Latinx English-speaking children and their parents. Unfortunately, it is well established that mHealth interventions are significantly less effective when used with specific ethnic minorities unless they underwent a process of cultural adaptation. Over the past 4-years, the investigators have established multiple academic and community collaborations, conducted extensive participatory research with Latinx stakeholders and used the heuristic framework and a modified ecological validity model to culturally adapt WebTIPS. The culturally adapted intervention is called L-WebTIPS. The overall aim of this application is to reduce surgical disparities in a population of Latinx children undergoing surgery. The first phase of this application (R61) includes web programming of L-WebTIPS, conduct formative evaluation and conduct feasibly randomized control trial (RCT) to test this intervention. The second phase (R33) includes a multi-center RCT which aims to determine the effectiveness of L-WebTIPS compared to attention control intervention in decreasing postoperative pain, opioids consumption and lowering anxiety in Latinx children undergoing outpatient surgery. Secondary aims of the R33 include examining the impact of L-WebTIPS on home-based clinical recovery parameters such as pain, analgesic requirements, new onset behavioral changes and return to normal daily activity in Latinx children undergoing outpatient surgery. The investigators also plan to determine if the use of L-WebTIPS reduces anxiety and improve experience among the parents of Latinx children undergoing surgery. Finally, the investigators plan to determine if the use of L-WebTIPS reduces anxiety and enhance experience among the parents of Latinx children undergoing surgery. The investigators submit that using a cultural adaption process for an existing validated intervention will accelerate the process of reducing surgical disparities and bringing an effective intervention to clinical settings and routine use.

NCT ID: NCT06013501 Recruiting - Pain, Acute Clinical Trials

The Effect of Puppet Show on Pain and Fear During Subcutaneous Injection in Children With Leukemia

SC-puppet
Start date: January 3, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aim to evaluate the effect of puppet show applied during subcutaneous injection to children aged 3-7 years with leukemia on the level of pain and fear experienced by children due to the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT06005480 Recruiting - Healthy Clinical Trials

Understanding Rebound Pain After Regional Anesthesia Resolution in Healthy Volunteers

Start date: September 28, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Regional anesthesia decreases postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption, and may prevent chronic pain after surgery in patients undergoing surgery. However, some patients experience an increase of pain into the severe range when the nerve block wears off, also known as rebound pain. The investigators are studying if a nerve block (numbing injection) in the arm causes hyperalgesia (increased pain) when the nerve block is wearing off.

NCT ID: NCT05924412 Recruiting - Knee Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials

Parecoxib in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Start date: July 6, 2023
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Early mobilization and rehabilitation can be difficult after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to a high incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important to multimodal analgesic protocols. Parecoxib is an NSAID that selectively inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Clinical trials have shown that it does not alter platelet function or gastric mucosa. A recent study, after comparing ketorolac and parecoxib used at the same time in infiltration and systemically, found no differences in perioperative analgesia with a tendency to less bleeding in the parecoxib group. This randomized study will compare the effectiveness of adding a COX-2 inhibitor in the pain management of patients undergoing TKA as part of a multimodal analgesia regimen. The morphine consumption was selected as the primary outcome. The study hypothesis is that patients receiving parecoxib would have a lower opioid consumption.

NCT ID: NCT05917925 Recruiting - Knee Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the Effect of a Food Supplement Based on Hydrolyzed Collagen on Joint Function.

COLART
Start date: April 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical study evaluates the effect of taking a hydrolyzed collagen-based supplement on pain, function and quality of life in a moderately physically active population. Non-pathological knee pain is a common occurrence in many healthy people and can limit the quality of life. Therefore, the resolution of this problem can bring many benefits in terms of quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT05913284 Recruiting - Anesthesia Clinical Trials

Intravenous Methadone in Perioperative Acute and Chronic Management in Chinese Adult Cardiac Surgical Patients

Start date: January 15, 2024
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Despite modern day improvements in pain treatment and availability of different analgesic modalities, suboptimal postoperative pain control remains an issue in cardiac surgical patients. Poorly controlled acute postoperative pain is associated with adverse physiological outcomes that impair the recovery of cardiac surgical patients. It is associated with decreased patient satisfaction, delayed postoperative ambulation, and the development of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). Intravenous opioids such as fentanyl and morphine have been the mainstay of perioperative analgesia for cardiac surgery, either by intermittent boluses by healthcare staff or through a patient-controlled device (PCA). The primary problem with this mechanism of delivery is that significant fluctuations in serum opioid concentrations can occur, resulting in effects which range from inadequate analgesia to overdose and respiratory depression. In contrast to intermittent administration of short-acting opioids such as morphine and fentanyl, a single dose administration of methadone can be considered.

NCT ID: NCT05904483 Recruiting - Anxiety Clinical Trials

The Effects of Finger Puppet, Abeslang Puzzle, and Pinwheel on Pain and Anxiety During Blood Sampling Procedures

Start date: June 20, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Blood sampling is an invasive, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedure for children. The inability of preschool children to differentiate between reality and imagination and their belief in the power of their thoughts make it difficult for them to accept an invasive procedure. Distraction techniques are used to help children cope with pain and anxiety. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of finger puppet, abeslang puzzle, and pinwheel on pain and anxiety during blood sampling in preschool children presenting to the pediatric emergency department. This randomized controlled study used parallel trial design.

NCT ID: NCT05865327 Recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

UltrasouNd-guided Percutaneous Intercostal Nerve Cryoneurolysis for Analgesia Following Traumatic Rib Fracture

UNPIN
Start date: October 23, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Traumatic rib fractures (i.e., broken ribs caused by a physical injury) are common and very painful. They also often lead to serious complications, more time spent in hospital, and can even lead to death. Even after rib fractures have healed, they can lead to long-term pain and a lower quality of life. A technology called cryoneurolysis, which acts to freeze nerves causing pain using a small tool which can turn very cold, is a promising new way to manage rib fracture pain. This study is a test with a small number of people to see if it is feasible to use this technology for patients with rib fractures. If this is successful, we will recruit more people for a larger study to see if cryoneurolysis, along with standard pain control techniques, is better at stopping pain, compared to just the normal techniques alone. Participants in our study will be asked to rate their pain, and record pain medications that they take for 3 months after their pain procedure.
