Filter by:Thoracotomy is a very painful procedure. Different treatment modalities are being utilized for post-thoracotomy analgesia including I/V NSAID, Opoids and Neuropathic medications. Other techniques commonly utilized include Thoracic epidural, Paravertebral block; but both are associated with significant failure rate and other complications. Ultrasound guided Erector Spinae Plane block is a new regional anesthesia technique that provides analgesia at multidermatomal levels acriss the posterior, lateral and anterior thoracic walls. The rational of my study is that it is a novel technique and studies with bupivicain alone are present but no study was found with bupivicain plus dexamethasone.
Aim of this study is to compare post-operative analgesic efficacy of continuous epidural analgesia versus ultrasound guided continuous femoral nerve block and adductor nerve block after unilateral total knee replacement using 0.125% bupivacaine.
Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an interfascial blockade during thoracic anesthesia, first described by Forero in 2016, and is highlighted by technically feasibility and less complication rate. The patient is placed as decubitus position. The anesthesiologists use echo to identify the ipsilateral transverse process at T5 level, and insert the needle to 2-3 cm lateral to the spinous process until contact the transverse process. Then the injected local anesthetic will penetrate via erector spinae muscle to paravertebral space to affect and relieve pain.
This study is a prospective, randomized, nonblinded trial to evaluate the effectiveness of Cannabidiol (CBD) oil on post-operative pain control compared to opioid medications.
This study is aimed to determine the post operative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy by dividing patients into three different group. Group A will receive lidocaine 2mg/kg bolus at induction followed by 1.5mg/kg/hr infusion. Group B will receive bilateral subcostal TAP block with 0.375% 20ml Ropivicaine on each side. Group C will not receive any additional pain regime apart from the routine intraoperative analgesics. Pain score will be assessed post operatively for 24 hours at regular intervals using visual analog score.
This is a randomized, single blinded, placebo-controlled trial to study the effectiveness of a subanesthetic dose (0.6 mg/kg) of ketamine versus placebo (saline) on postoperative pain and pain on adult female chronic pelvic pain patients undergoing robotic removal of endometriosis. The objective of the study is to explore the effect of a sub anesthetic dose of ketamine (0.6 mg/kg) vs. saline control on postoperative pain and recovery in chronic pelvic pain patients who have undergone robotic removal of endometriosis.
The LAPTAP trial will provide evidence on preferred post-operative analgesia method in elective laparoscopic colon surgery.
After one-stage hybrid arrhythmia ablation surgery there are possible side effects like acute and chronic pain. There is a lot of research surrounding these pains but not specifically after one-stage hybrid arrhythmia ablation surgery. The investigators want to research factors that may be associated with the absence of chronic pain after hybrid ablation include ketamine, peroperative opioids, loco-regional blocks, neuraxial blocks, wound infiltration, postoperative patient-controlled analgesia. The presence of corticosteroids or NSAIDS, will also be evaluated. Furthermore, non-adaptable factors such as genetics complicate the onset of chronic post-operative pain. Taking existing knowledge in this field into account, incidence risk as well as acute pain duration and intensity and their effects on chronic pain will become the primary focus of this study. The investigators will contact all patients who had a one-stage hybrid arrhythmia ablation surgery at UZ Brussels. Participants will be sent a questionnaire with a consent form in and a survey asking about their pain 3 months postop and their current pain management therapy.
With this pilot investigation, the investigators aim to challenge the reliance on opiate analgesia following colon and rectal surgery. Narcotic misuse and abuse is a pressing public health concern, and reduction in prescription rates could help to mitigate this issue. The goal of this pilot study is to establish feasibility of sufficient post-operative pain control after colectomy using non-narcotic analgesics. The investigators hypothesize that patients will be able to manage their post-operative pain without narcotic intervention, while minimizing side effects and complications. This initial pilot study will provide proof-of-concept for a larger, randomized investigation on non-narcotic analgesia after colectomy.
The project is of a comparative nature. It seeks to study pain reduction following two forms of chest surgery and compare results between both procedures. It will use kinesio taping as the studied pain reducer. It will involve 4 study groups, 2 per surgical procedure, and among those 2 main groups, 2 subgroups each where 1 has kinesio taping and the other doesn't. With this, the project hopes to offer new forms of pain reduction that are more cost effective and are associated with less adverse effects. Furthermore it would decrease pain killer intake which is a contemporary challenge of medicine.
