Filter by:This study will focus on patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty and Loma Linda University Medical Center & East Campus. These patients will be randomized to receive a low dose lidocaine infusion or placebo, in addition to the patient controlled analgesia pump. These groups will be compared to one another statistically to determine which group shows the safest and most satisfying pain control.
The purpose of this study is to generate further insight into the role and effectiveness of the amide local anesthetic lidocaine as an adjuvant postoperative analgesic after adult spine surgery. The effect of perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion on postoperative rehabilitation and the inflammatory response will also be examined.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical utility of fentanyl HCl 40 mcg system for the management of postoperative pain in pediatric inpatients.
Total knee replacement is often associated with severe postoperative pain, especially in the first 24 hours. Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) and continuous femoral block with PCA are commonly used to treat postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty. However, PCAs use opioids. Opioids are excellent painkillers but their use is hampered by side effects such as nausea, vomiting, bowel dysfunction, urinary retention, pruritus, sedation and respiratory depression. We propose to test the hypothesis that adding a low dose lidocaine infusion to PCAs will lower the amount of opioids that these patients receive, thereby improving patient safety while still providing adequate analgesia. In addition, continuous femoral block has been shown to provide superior postoperative pain control when compared to morphine PCA. Therefore, postoperative pain levels of study subjects will be compared to those subjects who receive a combination of a continuous femoral block catheter with a PCA.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether epidural Depodur alleviates the pain of OP-CABG surgery. This includes pain associated with sternotomy, retraction, dissection and other tissue insults, as well as the induced inflammatory system and effects from prolonged ventilation in the ICU setting.
The present study aims to compare the pre-emptive analgesic efficacy of parecoxib 40 mg IV/IM versus placebo on reducing postoperative acute pain following submuscular breast augmentation. Additionally this study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of parecoxib in this kind of procedure.
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether or not low level laser therapy (LLLT) decreases pain in post-operative orthopedic patients following lumbar fusion surgery.
Early physical therapy after knee surgery is very painful on top of pain from surgery. Pain following surgery can limit recovery. One way to treat pain is by giving intravenous (IV) pain medication with morphine. Another method is to use a "nerve block" which involves placing a thin catheter (tube) into the lower back near the nerves that sense pain in the knee and give a local anesthetic to numb the nerves. Sometimes both methods are used together. This research is being done to determine whether nerve blocks with a local anesthetic improve knee recovery in addition to providing pain relief as compared to IV pain medicine alone
