Filter by:Partial meniscectomy and meniscus repair are two of the most common orthopedic surgery procedures. As these procedures are being increasingly performed in ambulatory surgical centers, there has been a shift towards providing improved analgesia to ensure timely discharge, as well as preventing unwanted pain and side effects. As such, it has become common practice to use an intra-articular injection of local anesthetic to achieve post-operative pain control. However, these effects are short lived, requiring a multimodal approach to analgesia. To date, no optimal pain control strategy has been described for arthroscopic partial meniscectomy or meniscus repair. The purpose of this study is to examine the outcomes of subcutaneous saphenous nerve block with 0.5% ropivacaine at the medial femoral epicondyle/adductor hiatus plus portal 0.5% ropivacaine injection vs portal 0.5% ropivacaine injection alone for patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy or meniscus repair.
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.
Pain is a vital sign that depends on personal experience involving different factors such as previous sensory and emotional experience, age, spiritual and cultural aspects, that makes it harder to evaluate, especially in young children. Pain control is important to diminish the anxiety of the child and family, also this is more important in patients who require procedure and treatment that are more painful, like oncological and hematological patients. The study aims to measure if the intranasal drugs (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) has the same outcomes when compared with intravenous drug (ketamine and midazolam), but with less side effects. The participants are patients from an oncologic outpatient, that will be submitted to cerebrospinal fluid puncture, myelogram or both will be randomized assigned to both groups. The study will compare physiological variables ( heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure) and sedation and pain scales to see if its work properly. The study purpose is to evaluate if intranasal drug works in the same way with less side effects comparing with the usual treatment.
Pain and satisfaction score will be assessed at the end of surgery and compared in either of two groups
Taking into account the unavoidable effect of a major oncologic surgery commonly required for colorectal cancer patients and the recognized psychological and functional sequelae of the surgical treatment on their status, we will evaluate the influence of a psychological intervention, known as acceptance-based intervention, offered to those patients at the preoperative setting. Reduction of anxiety and assessmemt of indices of post-intervention psychological and functional recovery will be the primary goals of the study.
Nasogastric tube (NGT) is a commonly performed procedure in the Emergency Department. Although it is not a major procedure, it is usually associated with a bad experience and cause discomfort and pain in kids. This randomized controlled double-blinded double-dummy trial aims to investigate the efficacy of local topical anesthetic and/or anxiolysis for pain/anxiety related to NGT insertion. Eligible patients are children with gastroenteritis aged 6 months to 5 years requiring NGT rehydration. The intervention are 3 arms of nebulized lidocaine with midazolam compared to nebulized midazolam alone or placebo. The primary outcome is procedure-related pain assessment using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale during final NGT insertion attempt.
The main objective of the study was to determine the effect of using crochet octopus in order to reduce the acute pain developed during the process of heel lance in neonates. The hypothesis of the study was "Crochet octopus is rather effective in reducing the acute pain in heel lance process for neonates".
This study will evaluate the impact of our smartphone-based Virtual Reality Pain Alleviation Tool (VR-PAT) during the repeated at-home burn dressing changes of children (5-17 years) with a burn injury in comparison with a control group of children with a burn injury who will not use VR-PAT during at-home burn dressing changes. We hypothesize that children using VR-PAT will report less pain during their dressing changes.
The purpose of this study is to compare patient responses during and after surgery when local anesthetic is used for dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA) and when it is not used.
This is a randomized non-blinded trial evaluating the effect of virtual reality goggles on perceived pain and anxiety scores during venipuncture on hospitalized children ages 5-21. We will randomized patients to either standard of care (including Lidocaine 2.5%/Prilocaine 2.5% cream as a topical anesthetic 60-240 minutes prior to venipuncture) or standard of care plus virtual reality goggles.
