Filter by:SPRINT PNS System will be offered to patients with postoperative knee pain following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who meet eligibility criteria and consistent with established coverage policy. SPRINT PNS System will be implanted for 60 days. At the discretion of the physician, the first lead may be placed to stimulate the nerve innervating the region of greatest pain. If pain is not adequately addressed by the first lead when assessed at 10 days, a second lead may be placed approximately 2 weeks following the initial lead placement.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Duloxetine provides effective pain management for adult patients (18 or older) undergoing tibial plateau surgery. Participants from two institutions will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: control (Group A) and treatment (Group B). Group A control group will receive placebo of sugar pill and BMC standard of care - namely postoperative, IV administration of opioids via a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) system which utilizes a hydromorphone pump (BMC standard of care). Group B, the intervention group, will receive three doses of 60 mg of oral duloxetine (right before operation, postop day 1, postop day 2). This study is important as tibial plateau surgery's postoperative pain management primarily involved providing opioids, and if duloxetine can result in reduced narcotic intake and lower pain scores, it can potentially improve patient care, rehabilitation, early movement, and shorter length of hospital stay.
More than 30% of patients undergoing thoracic surgical procedures develop persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP), which results in impaired functioning, diminished quality of life, and increased risk of chronic opioid use. The proposed project aims to determine whether a prospective, randomized, controlled study of smartphone-based perioperative cognitive flexibility training will reduce the incidence of PPSP in high-risk individuals undergoing thoracic surgery.
The purpose of this study is to see if Exparel, used intraoperatively by injecting at the surgical site, followed by a Supraclavicular nerve block with bupivacaine in the recovery room, will provide better pain scores for patients at 24 and 48 hours post operatively than, 1)Bupivacaine Hydrochloride (HCL) injection at the surgical site, with a supraclavicular block in Post-anesthesia care unit(PACU), or 2)a supraclavicular block in PACU without any kind of injection at the surgical site.
The ongoing opioid epidemic has altered both how physicians prescribe narcotics and patients' perceptions of those prescriptions. Along with increased scrutiny regarding the quantity of opioids that be may prescribed after acute injury, for chronic conditions and following surgery the healthcare industry as a whole continues to search for alternative medications that provide adequate pain relief and have a reduced tendency for abuse/dependence/addition. To that end this study has the following aims: 1. To evaluate the amount of opioids consumed following minimally invasive, female pelvic surgery when patients' postoperative pain is managed via: 1. Acetaminophen plus Ibuprofen plus breakthrough pain opioids (Standard protocol) 2. Acetaminophen plus Intranasal Ketorolac Tromethamine plus opioids for breakthrough pain (Sprix protocol) 2. Patient satisfaction with the aforementioned methods 3. Evaluate and compare pain scores via validated questionnaire Hypothesis: Primary: 1. Patients prescribed intranasal Ketorolac (Sprix protocol) will consume significantly less Morphine Milliequivalents (mEqs) of narcotics compared to the standard protocol following minimally invasive female pelvic surgery. Secondary: 1. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measures of pain which will be measured on a 0-10 scale where 0 denotes no pain and 10 denotes maximum experience of pain 2. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have lower numeric pain score and on POD#4 3. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40 )scores on POD#1 4. Patients in the Sprix protocol will have higher QoR-40 scores on POD#4 5. Patients will not have any significant difference in overall surgical satisfaction on POD#1 and POD#4 using a numerical satisfaction score 6. Patients in the Sprix protocol will be more likely to consume no narcotics at all once discharged to home
This study is investigating whether administration of acetaminophen the day before surgery improves post operative pain following minimally invasive hysterectomy. Patients will receive either acetaminophen or placebo to take twice per day the day prior to their scheduled surgery. The morning of surgery all participants will receive oral acetaminophen at least 30 minutes prior to surgery. The investigators will examine whether there is a difference in post operative pain between the two groups.
This pilot study will prospectively compare continuous Erector Spinae Plane block (ESP) versus combination of continuous Erector Spinae Plane block and single shot Serratus Anterior Plane block for post-operative pain management in subjects undergoing primary thoracic surgery.
The investigators propose to investigate the effect of intraoperative FICB and intrafragmentary fracture blockade on postoperative pain and opiate consumption using a randomized controlled trial study design. There will be three treatment groups: (1) fascia iliaca compartment blockade administered after surgical fixation using the loss of resistance technique with 30cc 0.25% marcaine (2) intrafragmentary fracture block using fluoroscopy guidance after surgical fixation with 30cc 0.25% marcaine and (3) placebo group, with no intervention.
By utilizing regional anesthesia blocks at the surgery tissue donor sites, it can potentially reduce post-operative pain while also reducing the use of opioids. It can aim to measure the reduction in opioid use, reduction in pain scores, patient satisfaction, and because there is not a current protocol established for regional anesthesia use for free flap reconstruction, and we aim to standardize the procedure.
A study of the use of the Provant Infinity Therapy System when treatment is administered 30 minutes twice daily for 8-weeks (56 days ± 3 days) at home for postoperative pain.
