Filter by:Patients with liver tumors who underwent US-guided-MWA of liver tumors were enrolled. These patients were allocated into three groups based on tumor size and number: A, B, and C. Prior to the ablation procedure, Group A patients received a combination of hepatic hilar block (HHB), Transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB), and local anesthesia (LA). Patients in Group B were administered HHB in conjunction with LA, while those in Group C received TAPB and LA. Evaluative parameters included the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores, consumption of morphine, incidence of complications, and factors influencing perioperative pain.
The purpose of this study is to identify a dose of intrathecal hydromorphone (opioid pain medicine) that optimizes pain control but minimizes side effects historically seen with this class of pain medications.
Patients between the ages of 12 months and 11 years who are undergoing an open lower abdominal procedure will be randomized to receive intrathecal morphine, or bilateral quadratus lumborum block. The investigators will compare the effect that intrathecal morphine and quadratus lumborum blocks have on the duration of pain control as demonstrated by charted pain scores and morphine equivalents in the first 48 hours. This study will also assess the side effects of each intervention such as nausea and vomiting, and itching.
Efficacy of Expressed Breast Milk Alone or in Combination with Paracetamol in Reducing Pain during ROP Screening.
Interfascial plane blocks have been developed for analgesia, among which the erector spinae plane (ESP) has gained popularity. The ESP block has been hypothesized to provide truncal analgesia by spread of local anesthetic into the paravertebral space. Recent studies have contested this idea showing unreliability in the spread of the local anesthetic into the paravertebral space.
This study is aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a novel liver specific nerve block in improving pain control during painful liver interventional radiology procedures including liver tumoral ablation and trans arterial chemoembolization, two procedures aimed at controlling liver tumors, but that can be associated with significant pain. This novel hepatic specific nerve block was designed by us and initial retrospective results suggests it might help in controlling such liver procedural derived pain. The study was designed to compare the liver block to a sham procedure in a blinded context and to follow the participants over three days post-procedure to asses for pain levels.
Gabapentin preoperative use for evaluation of benefit to reduce pain during and after surgical office-based abortion.
Efficacy of using continuous infusion of local anesthetic for post operative pain control following laparotomy.
To study the patients' and dentists' perception of receiving/ administering maxillary buccal infiltration anesthesia using an open or closed mouth techniques
Effective pain control following surgical procedures is a goal for both the patient as well as the medical staff caring for them. There have been numerous studies evaluating differing treatment pathways, but most studies have relied on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) or Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) to evaluate outcomes. These scales are subjective score given by the patient with no objective data input, therefore making comparisons subject to possible bias. There are no known studies comparing the pain scores provided by the patient to the surgical team compared to the nursing staff caring for the patient. The aim will be to compare these values to see if patients are consistent in their pain rating.
