Filter by:To investigate the effect of noise isolation during general anesthesia on the incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to determine whether noise isolation can reduce the Incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain and analgesic use.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of bilateral erector spinae plane (ESP) block application on postoperative chronic pain in patients undergoing on-pump open-heart surgery. At 3 months post-discharge, patients will be contacted by phone to assess their chronic pain status. Pain intensity and status will be evaluated using the Brief Pain Inventory, and the character of pain will be assessed using the Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) score. Additionally, the patient's anxiety and depression status will be evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial to Compare Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine Versus Midazolame in Orthopedic Cancer Surgeries
The introduction of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks into the preoperative care regimen at Shouldice Hospital for inguinal hernia repair marks a significant shift in pain management strategies. While Shouldice Hospital has traditionally not employed this technique, recent literature highlighting its potential benefits has prompted its trial within their patient population. Research in this area, although limited, suggests promising outcomes. Studies such as those by Beaussier et al. (2005) and Nehra et al. (1995) have demonstrated decreased postoperative pain and opioid use, as well as increased mobility associated with the use of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks. However, concerns such as orthostatic hypotension and rebound pain have also been noted, indicating the need for careful consideration and monitoring of potential adverse effects. More recent studies, particularly those focusing on the Lichtenstein repair, have further supported the potential benefits of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks. Kacmaz and Bolat (2020) found improved patient satisfaction, reduced opioid consumption, and shorter hospital stays associated with nerve block techniques. Additionally, the use of adjuncts such as dexamethasone has shown promise in reducing rebound pain and opioid requirements postoperatively. The purpose of evaluating the use of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks at Shouldice Hospital is multifaceted. Not only does it aim to enhance patient care and satisfaction by improving pain management strategies, but it also provides valuable insights for anesthetists and surgeons regarding the utility and efficacy of this technique within the context of inguinal hernia repair. Furthermore, the trial may facilitate the refinement of current practices, potentially leading to standardized protocols that optimize patient outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. In summary, the introduction of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks at Shouldice Hospital represents a proactive approach toward enhancing perioperative care for inguinal hernia patients. By leveraging emerging evidence and adapting to evolving clinical practices, the hospital stands to benefit from improved patient outcomes and potentially contribute to the advancement of pain management strategies in hernia surgery.
The goal of this study is to explore whether specific intraoperative EEG signals (brain waves or neuronal electrical activity) are associated with the severity of acute postoperative pain.
This study aims to compare the effect of paravertebral block and local infiltration anesthesia on postoperative analgesia in children undergoing lateral incision cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The researchers hope to investigate whether children who undergo paravertebral block experience less postoperative pain, have fewer postoperative complications, and recover more quickly.
Clinically compare the post-operative pain , incidences post-operative swelling , post-operative number of analgesic tablets taken by patient and amount of bacterial load reduction after using 50% Commiphora Myrrh Chemomechanical preparation , versus 2.5% NaOCl,in asymptomatic necrotic mandibular premolar treated in single visit.
In the effort to reduce postoperative opioid use, there has been increasing interest in developing multimodal pain regimens to better manage postoperative pain while minimizing opioid use and their subsequent side effects that can be detrimental to the healing process. Standard of care approaches to better manage postoperative pain include the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol and the use of peripheral and truncal nerve blocks. Truncal nerve blocks are widely used as an additional modality to provide longer lasting postoperative analgesia and have been adopted as part of the standard of care. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of ERAS alone versus the quadratus lumborum (QL) nerve block on the postoperative pain experience for women with pelvic organ prolapse undergoing robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy. Subjects will be randomized to the ERAS protocol or the QL block. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1) does the QL block decrease patient reported pain scores postoperatively; and 2) does the QL block decrease the amount of opioid pain medications in the immediate postoperative period? The primary outcome measure will be median patient reported pain score in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) following surgery.
Root canal preparation is one of the most important stages in root canal treatment. Nowadays, the use of Nickel-Titanium(Ni-Ti) rotary instrument systems for root canal expansion is becoming very popular. The force required to rotate the Ni-Ti file is defined as the torque force and is considered a parameter for the stress produced within the canal. Ni-Ti rotary instruments can be used with a wide speed scale between 150 rpm (rotary per minute) and 40,000 rpm in conventional endodontic engines. Low torque and speed values mean low pressure applied by the instruments in the root canal. With low forces and vibrations, motor noise is generally negligible, and the instruments can easily shape most root canals in a reasonable amount of time and with minimal mechanical stress (in medium-easy canals). The use of lower torque values has been shown to reduce cyclic fatigue of Ni-Ti rotary tools. With reduced cyclic fatigue, the risk of instrument breakage in complex root canal morphologies is minimized and complications that may occur during root canal treatment are reduced. However, with low torque and speed values, cutting efficiency decreases and the process time increases as the instrument advances in the canal and during possible treatment. Decreasing cutting efficiency may also result in the operator applying force to move through the canal. With the applied force, the friction resistance within the canal increases and the heat produced increases. For this reason, it is thought that the risk of post-operative pain may increase during or after the procedure. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of post-operative pain and procedure time using the visual analog scale (VAS) among groups where low torque and speed values were applied during the use of the Ni-Ti rotary instrument system.
Since post hemorrhoidectomy pain is a severe and common post operative symptom so there is a need to find a suitable method for reducing this pain, up to our knowledge, this the first study in ZUH to compare between ketrolac, light Marcaine, corticosteroids and diclofenac sodium injection at surgical site for relieve of post operative pain. This is a randomizes comparative prospective clinical trial.
