This study evaluates the effects of serratus plane block on intraoperative opioid consumption, emergence time and hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery.
The objectives of the present study are: 1) to executing the practical implementation in an oncology department of MBCT for patients who have completed their primary treatment and experience significant cancer- and cancer-treatment-related pain, 2) to evaluate effects on pain and well-being, 3) to explore patient satisfaction with the intervention offered, and 4) to explore possible organizational and individual physical, mental and socio-economic barriers for implementation in relation to drop-outs.
NSAIDs are commonly used in the management of acute pain; Diclofenac is one from the same class. It is an amino phenyl acetic acid derivative which inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis to produce analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect. The drug efficacy and safety in acute pain management has been proved by several studies like in renal colic, post and pre-operative pain management, migraines etc. It's also known to have an opioid-sparing effect. Mode of administration is one of the important factors to consider in a busy emergency room. Perception about the route of administration differs among patients. As believed,injectable have rapid onset, easier to titrate, and patients respond better to them as they consider them stronger than oral medication. Number of trials has compared oral and parenteral NSAIDs. Most found no benefit to the parenteral route. Considering the limitations of the previously done studies like small sample size, heterogeneity in the group of patients enrolled, improper blinding and comparing of two different drugs from the same class. Therefore, aim of the study is to conduct a Double blind randomized clinical trial to assess the clinical efficacy and pharmacokinetic parameters of oral diclofenac compared to intramuscular diclofenac in patients with acute limb injury. In this two group double blind randomized clinical trial, the clinical efficacy and pharmacokinetic parameters among the two groups will be assessed. Eligible patients visiting to HGH-ED, age (above 18 years) with acute limb injury, having moderate to severe pain (defined as pain score of >=4 on Numerical rating scale) will be recruited. With the use of computer generated block randomization, subjects will be allocated to one of the two treatment groups in the ratio of 1:1. Each group will receive either (intramuscular diclofenac / oral placebo) or (oral diclofenac / intramuscular placebo). Among the 300 subjects enrolled for the study, further stratified randomization will be done in order to enroll 20 patients for pharmacokinetic study within the subjects.High-performance liquid chromatography, method will be used for the determination of drug concentration in human plasma, for detailed pharmacokinetics. The pain score will be assessed by using the validated pain scale i.e. Numerical rating scale (NRS). The participants, clinicians and investigators will be masked to treatment assigned and the results will be analyzed by the intention to treat analysis among the two group treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two drug options for pain control in patients following wrist injury. Participants will be randomized to one of the 2 pain relief treatments to determine what treatment provides the most effective pain relief
A new infusion strategy named the 'programmed intermittent bolus' (PIB) technique delivers the hourly dose within minutes compared to the traditional infusion that delivers such dose over an hour. The PIB technique has demonstrated superior patient satisfaction and reduced local anesthetic consumption when utilized for pain control during labour and delivery. However, it is not known if the PIB technique gives any benefits during a continuous nerve block in other settings. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to elucidate if PIB is better than (traditional) continuous infusion for postoperative analgesia in patients receiving a continuous nerve block for total shoulder arthroplasty with respect to pain control.
The aim of this study is to demostrate the eficcacy in pain control management after total knee arthroplasty of Gonyautoxin. Local administration during surgery of Gonyautoxin before wound closure can achieved better pain control and lower morphin use during hospital stay compared to local administration of chirocaine, ketorolac and epinephrine
A first empirical evidence on the difficulties of observance of morphine in cancer patients invited a multidisciplinary team to initiate an innovative quality approach. It shows the lack of transcript of a comprehensive care causing a problem for monitoring actions undertaken for the relief of pain. In addition, two exploratory studies targeting the expectations and needs of the Patient Therapeutic Education (E.T.P) receiving strong opioids. The E.T.P, public health priority, provides a framework for action and improving care. In oncology, the involvement of the patient in pain relief and management of opioids represents an axis of intervention more appropriate. Yet, it is not found in literature. In our department, we conduct an experimental therapeutic education program type "caratif" and a nurse consultation FTE receiving opioids on the model of nursing "care" of J. Watson (humanist emphasis promoting interpersonal teaching-learning mobilizing the patient experience). The ETP folder and its tools have been continuously validated with patients. The heart of the educational process is in the patient's complex path neat oncology and relies on interaction and creativity between patient and caregivers.
Adductor canal block (ACB), Saphenous nerve block, which is a block of a purely sensory nerve which shares in nerve supply of knee joint has a hypothetical advantage of better pain management with less motor affection. Also, it has a clear anatomical landmark that will increase the success rate (femoral artery) (*).On the other hand, being a branch of the femoral nerve and far distal from the plexus, this can decrease the blocking effectiveness. Likewise, the great variation of the knee nerve supply. This prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial is comparing ultrasound guided adductor canal block (ACB) versus ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block (LPB) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty aiming at decreasing post-operative pain, helping in early mobilization and better physiotherapy. This study hypothesizes that ACB, compared with LPB, will exhibit less motor, weakness, fewer opioids consumption with the same or better pain score.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of IV clonidine administration on lower limb spinal motoneuron excitability during standardized total intravenous anesthesia (propofol and remifentanil).
