Filter by:This parallel, assessor blind, placebo-controlled, stratified, randomized study will investigate the effects of everyday pain on cognition and mobility in otherwise healthy individuals.
The purpose of this study is to learn if using a suprainguinal fascia iliaca (SIFI) injection technique (also called a "nerve block") that numbs the nerves going to the side and front of the upper leg will improve pain control after surgery. The SIFI technique uses a numbing solution (local anesthetics) that is injected next to nerves in the hip to reduce pain. This block may affect movement in the leg and make the legs weak. The amount of leg weakness is not known and assessment of this will be included in the study. Many institutions use the SIFI block for patients having total hip replacements, with the hope of providing good pain relief combined with improved mobility after surgery.
Opioid analgesics are the most common postoperative pain medications used among dentists in the United States.Although these medications are highly effective in the postoperative dental pain management, not all patients optimally benefit from this therapy. Many suffer adverse consequences such as nausea, emesis, and psychomotor impairment, and there is a high prevalence of opioid prescription misuse among substance abusers within the dental patient population. The use of non-opioid analgesics including ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the management of postoperative dental pain has demonstrated equivalent or superior analgesic effects compared to opioid analgesic therapies, typically with significantly less adverse effects.However, despite these results, dentists have encountered a high variability in the success of non-opioid analgesic responses among the postoperative dental pain population.Thus, new strategies for earlier recognition of analgesic responses for pain medications is fundamental in the field of dentistry. Therefore, this study will evaluate the clinical utility of pharmacogenomic testing in acute postoperative dental pain management among healthy adults who undergo extraction of impacted mandibular third molar.
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled trial comparing oxycodone/acetaminophen prescribed with or without ibuprofen for pain control following open unilateral inguinal hernia repair, with allowed exception of any currently prescribed opioid (codeine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, morphine, methadone, oxymorphone, transdermal fentanyl), which can be continued. The patients will not be allowed to continue any over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or acetaminophen containing medications, that were not prescribed by the investigators during this study. Patients not receiving Ibuprofen will be given a placebo pill composed of corn starch. The placebo pill will be formulated into the same shape, size and color as the ibuprofen capsule. Neither the investigators nor the research subjects will know if the subject is receiving a placebo versus Ibuprofen. The subjects will complete pain level and medication diaries, and will be followed for 2 months after their surgery. The research aims to discover the appropriate amount of opioid medication to prescribe to patients undergoing an elective open inguinal hernia repair, and reduce the total opioid dose needed by utilizing ibuprofen in combination. The investigators expect that the subjects who take ibuprofen will use less oxycodone/acetaminophen, and have comparable or lower mean pain levels. This could contribute to reducing the surplus opioids prescribed by physicians after surgery, which can lead to opioid use disorders. This particular procedure is common in men, and the findings have the potential to decrease the symptoms and pain of Active Duty members and DoD beneficiaries who undergo an inguinal hernia repair, and are at risk for prescription drug abuse or dependence.
The purpose of this study is to correlate the composite PIPP-R (Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised) scale and the parasympathetic nervous system (heart rate variability).
The purpose of this study is to determine if naloxegol can be used in the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in patients with cancer and pain. This phase 4 study consists of a two week randomized double blind period followed by a two week open-label period.
The main objective is to assess correlation between ANI/NIPE values and external evaluation COMFORT B scale during painful medical cares and during said comfort medical cares in intubated children admitted in pediatric intensive care unit postoperative of cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation.
To study effects the Quell device has on opioid consumption and pain relief in patients with cancer.
In many countries, caesarean section (CS) rates have been increasing. The international literature is unclear regarding the analgesic efficacy of the transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) after a CS. In particular, no clinical trials exist in which the correct method of performing this block has been matched with the obtained analgesic effect after a CS. The primary goal of the study was to determine whether a correctly performed ultrasound-guided TAPB (USG-TAPB) could provide patients who underwent a CS with better control of acute postoperative pain during the first 72 hours after surgery
The combination of subarachnoid anaesthesia (SAB) and continuous local wound infiltration (LCWI) with a consistent amount of local anaesthetics could prevent central sensitization through an additive or synergistic effect because it can maintain continuous inhibition of nociceptive afferents
