Filter by:This study is designed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of ketamine compared to neostigmine as adjuvants to LA in ultrasound guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) in patients undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy. We hypothesize that adding either neostigmine or ketamine to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided SAPB would increase the total analgesic duration and decrease the total 24 hr postoperative Nalbuphine consumption compared to SAPB with bupivacaine only. The first 24 hr of postoperative Nalbuphine consumption is set as the primary outcome. The time of the first request of analgesia, pain score, side effects of drugs and patient hemodynamics are set as the secondary outcomes.
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) refers to pain that occurs or increases after surgery and lasts longer than 3 months. Severe postoperative acute pain is one of the major risk factors of CPSP. Spine surgery brings severe postoperative pain due to large trauma and long duration. Ketamine and esketamine are N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists; they have anti-hyperalgesic effects and may reduce CPSP. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effect; it is frequently used as an adjuvant to postoperative analgesia. In a previous trial of the investigators, 200 patients following scoliosis correction surgery were randomzied to receive opioid analgsia supplemented with either mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine combination or placebo. The results showed that esketamine-dexmedetomidine supplement analgesia significantly improved analgesia and sleep quality after surgery. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that mini-dose esketamine-dexmedetomidine supplemented analgesia may reduce CPSP at 2 years after scoliosis correction surgery.
This project consists of a randomized controlled study design. Study candidates will include all patients 18 years or older, who were evaluated at UCSD and found to have an orthopaedic injury requiring surgery. Patients who consent to study participation will be randomized to receive either the multimodal pain management protocol or standard oral hydrocodone-acetaminophen for post-operative pain management. Data on opioid usage, pain control, and functional status will be collected for each participant. After 3 years of data collection, investigators will analyze this data to provide further insight in determining appropriateness of pain regimens that reduce the overall opioid consumption. Given the widespread opioid epidemic, it is imperative to develop alternative means to appropriately manage pain in orthopaedic surgery patients.
To ensure early mobilization, minimize suffering, and to prevent postoperative complications postoperative pain, should be reduced as soon and as effectively as possible. A non-pharmacological post-operative intervention in terms of the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), could have the potential to accelerate early mobilization and reduce the use of opioids. The overall aim is to demonstrate that the addition of TENS to standard postoperative pain management of orthopedic patients can alleviate pain during mobilization and at rest
To compare the efficacy of 'sitz bath' and 'no sitz bath' treatment in terms of pain improvement, rate of cure and fissure healing in Acute Anal Fissure.
The literature indicates that postoperative pulmonary complications are seen when pain is not treated effectively after videothoracoscopy surgery (VATS). After surgery, physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches are applied to prevent complications. Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation (BEMER) therapy uses low-frequency electromagnetic energy to regulate vasomotion in capillaries and increase microcirculation. BEMER therapy can be applied together with physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of BEMER application, which is added to the physiotherapy and rehabilitation program applied after videothoracoscopy surgery.
The aim of this study is to compare ultrasound-guided ESBP and Rhomboid block in terms of postoperative pain management, postoperative opioid consumption and complications in patients undergoing lobectomy with VATS.Patients aged 18-75 years, ASA 1-2-3, who gave informed consent to lobectomy with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) method will be included in this study. Patients with contraindications for the application of either method, known chronic pain, local anesthetic allergy, spinal deformity or mental or psychiatric problems that prevent cooperation, taking anticoagulants, and infection at the injection site will not be included in the study. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to one of the anesthesia groups of the study, which include ESPB (elector spina plane block) (Group 1) or Rhomboid block (Group 2). Randomization will be at a ratio of 1:1 and will be done by the closed-envelope method. Beforehand, a piece of paper with the name of one of the two groups will be placed inside the envelopes and the envelopes will be closed and mixed. A closed envelope will be drawn randomly for each patient before the procedure, and procedures will be carried out according to the group specified on the paper.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double blind, multicenter study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of a single intra-articular dose of F14 (625 mg sustained release celecoxib) administered concurrent with multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery, compared to multimodal analgesia alone.
The aim of this observational study is to investigate if preoperative quantitative sensory testing, anxiety and depression symptoms, and biological markers are associated with the risk of developing acute and chronic postoperative pain after video-assisted Thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
In early postoperative period, the occurrence of severe pain after open major upper GI surgery is a significant issue. The study is aimed to access the efficiency of rectus sheet block with continuous bupivacaine infusion catheters into retromuscular space in providing an effective pain relief, decreasing opioid consumption and enhancing postoperative recovery.
