Filter by:This Study evaluates the effect of adding Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) to the post-operative pain management of sinus surgery patients and wether or not this addition reduces or eliminates the need for narcotic pain medications. Patients will be instructed to take an NSAID regimen after surgery and will be instructed to take narcotics only for breakthrough pain.
compare the postoperative pain between Bupivacaine peritoneal Infiltration plus immediately postoperative intramuscular Diclofenac and Bupivacaine peritoneal infiltration alone by using visual analogue score (VAS).
Ventral hernia repair may be associated with significant postoperative pain. Pain is typically managed with intravenous (IV) and oral medications that come with their own risks, such as nausea, constipation, sedation, respiratory depression, increased bleeding, and/or kidney or liver dysfunction. The quadratus lumborum peripheral nerve block has been shown to produce anesthesia of the anterior abdominal wall in the T7 to L1 distribution. This study aims to evaluate if the addition of the quadratus lumborum peripheral nerve block (QLB) can improve pain scores, decrease the need for IV and oral pain medications, and/or speed the patients' return to normal activity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and reduce pain and improve quality of life in patients being treated for head and neck cancer with unilateral surgery. In this study, patients will be randomly assigned to receive either pre-operative stellate ganglion block or no pre-operative treatment. Blocks will be placed by a trained anesthesiologist using ultrasound guidance in the preoperative holding area prior to surgery. All patients will receive the same post-operative pain medication regimen with appropriate pain treatment as needed. Patients will be asked to fill out surveys prior to surgery, while in the hospital after surgery, and at each follow-up appointment for up to 24 months.
Cold Therapy has been used for a variety of procedures and has been studied in several but not recently studied for reducing postop pain following Caesarean Sections. The hypothesis is that Cold Therapy will reduce postop pain and increase patients mobility and improve care of her newborn.
The purpose of this prospective single center, randomized study is to determine if ultrasound guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP), Quadratus Lumborum (QL), and Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) blocks decrease opioid consumption in subjects undergoing elective cesarean section.
To determine the effect of post-operative abdominal binder usage on total narcotic usage after undergoing surgery. To determine if abdominal binder usage results in decreased visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores and shorter time to first ambulation post operatively.
Pain control for newborns has made significant improvements over the last 30 years. The use of narcotics remains the standard of care for neonates undergoing minor and major surgeries. Narcotics, however, are associated with adverse effects such as respiratory depression, prolonged intubation and withdrawal symptoms. Acetaminophen (Tylenol©) has been proposed as an adjunct to reduce narcotic use but current evidence from well designed studies in newborns and premature infants is limited. This study will randomly assign neonates undergoing a surgery to either morphine plus acetaminophen or morphine alone for pain control. The subjects will be followed for 72 hours after the operation and evaluate the benefits of acetaminophen for pain control.
Psychological factors such as stress, distress, anxiety, depression, and poor coping strategies may be associated with ongoing pain following injuries such as fractures. To study this relationship, patients will undergo cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which is designed to modify such thoughts with the goal of reducing ongoing pain and improving quality of life. The goal of this study is to determine if CBT, versus usual care, reduces the prevalence of moderate to severe persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP) over 12-months post-fracture
Virtual reality has been used for acute pain management (burn patients) with positive results. Hypnosis has known beneficial effects on patients in the peri-operative setting. The investigators are combining both by giving a virtual reality hypnosis (VRH) session to the patients during a known painful post-operative moment. (physiotherapy) It is the investigator intention to compare pain after physiotherapy during the first 3 days after a total knee arthroplasty, between 2 groups. One group , the VR group gets standard treatment with VRH and the second, the sham group, gets standard treatment with a sham VR session.
