Filter by:The operation of the lower third molars is one of the most common oral surgery procedures in the world. The surgery is mostly done in local anesthesia which makes the surgery as pleasant as possible for the patient. In addition to anesthesia control, it is also extremely important to insure postoperative pain control since that is the nuisance that patients are most likely to complain about after oral surgery. It has been noticed that magnesium added to local anesthetics can improve and prolong its effect, but also reduce postoperative pain and accelerate recovery. It can also be used as an auxiliary to control pain and inflammation, which is why we will use it in this study, because we have not been able to find magnesium data in the literature for the removal of the lower third molars. Studies that have already been conducted with oral magnesium are for the purpose of preventing asthma, migraine, for reducing mood swings in PMS, reducing pain after endotracheal intubation, and many others. Removal by using operative procedure is the only way to remove lower third molars. The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the influence of the orally received magnesium citrate (before and after surgical removal of the lower third molar) on the quality and duration of the anesthetic block and also its effect on postoperative pain control. Other specific objectives are to investigate the effect of pre/postoperatively received magnesium on: 1. swelling stage after surgery. 2. time occurrence and duration of anesthesia. 3. trismus stage after the operative procedure. 4. the total amount of analgetics taken after surgery Benefits for the respondents will be in the assumption that the anesthetic block of the mandibular nerve will last longer with better quality, thus making the surgical procedure more pleasant and that the overall postoperative pain will be lessened and recovery faster in the magnesium citrate group. We also assume that in the magnesium citrate group trismus will be less pronounced and that swelling in postoperative days will be smaller.
Randomized, double-blind, controlled trial: a comparison of Levobupivacaine and Ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia using TAP-block Objectives: 1. VAS score during the first 12 hours 2. Determine which drug is more effective for postoperative analgesia in the first 12 hours after surgery 3. Side effects
This study will test the benefits and risks of using pregabalin perioperatively to prevent persistent postoperative pain in patients at high risk (>30%) of developing such pain after breast cancer surgery.
Postoperative pain scores and analgesic requirements will be evaluated in neonates after abdominal surgery, with regional quadratus lumborum block performed at the beginning of the procedure.
The central objective of this study will be to evaluate the relationship between estrogen levels and the pain following oocyte retrieval in women undergoing in vitro fertilization.
Aim 1: To determine the effectiveness of perioperatively administered ketamine to decrease acute and persistent postmastectomy pain (PPMP). Hypothesis 1.1: Patients undergoing partial or total mastectomy treated with a bolus and perioperative infusion of the NMDA-receptor antagonist ketamine will have decreased postoperative pain and opioid utilization compared to those receiving saline control. Hypothesis 1.2: Patients undergoing partial or total mastectomy treated with a bolus and perioperative infusion of the NMDA-receptor antagonist ketamine will have decreased persistent postoperative pain measured at one year after surgery. Aim 2: To determine whether there is increased power to detect therapeutic effectiveness in an interventional preventive trial, by enrichment with patients at high risk of PPMP. Hypothesis 2.1: Ketamine will have a greater analgesic and opioid sparing effect on pain scores in high-risk patients than non-high risk patients, compared to placebo. Hypothesis 2.2: Ketamine will have a greater preventive effect on pain burden scores at one year after surgery in high-risk patients than non-high risk patients, compared to placebo.
To determine if levator muscle block with bupivacaine improves postoperative pain control relative to placebo controls among women undergoing prolapse surgery involving a posterior colporrhaphy. Improvement is defined as no less than a 25% lower total pain score on a ten point numerical pain scale.
Major abdominal surgeries are associated with severe abdominal pain, which can affect respiratory and cardiac functions, if insufficiently managed. This increases the incidence of post-operative morbidity. The objective of this study was to detect the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to the analgesia offered by local anesthetic in ultrasound guided TAP block in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy.
Shoulder disorders are frequent, often associated with pain and occur in 7-34% of the general population and in 21% of the elderly population. Of particular interest is prediction of postoperative pain after outpatient arthroscopic shoulder surgery since the clinical experience is that surgery does not always provides pain relief and the interindividual variation in acute postoperative pain intensity is significant. In addition, a Swedish study has shown that shoulder operations are associated with longer convalescence than other orthopaedic outpatient surgeries.
The main objective of this proposed investigation is to evaluate blood ropivacaine concentrations in infants and toddlers following the initiation of, and over the course of, continuous paravertebral nerve blockade using ropivacaine infusion for postoperative pain control following esophageal atresia repair procedures that include posterior tracheopexy. Continuous unilateral chest wall nerve blockade (CUCWNB) using ropivacaine is the current standard of practice for this surgical population at the investigators' institution and, as such, this study does not aim to alter the current standard clinical care received by participants but rather evaluate the blood concentrations of ropivacaine as it is routinely used.
