Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effect of melatonin, and vitamin C and their combination in patients aged 18-60 years old who will undergo major abdominal surgery with mid-line incision within an expected time of surgery from 3 to 5 hours e.g. radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, colectomy, sigmoidectomy, splenectomy, and CBD exploration through mid-line incision. This study hypothesizes that using both vitamin C and melatonin together as adjuvants will cause: - More reduction in total morphine consumption in the first 24 hours postoperatively - More reduction of the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain, than using each adjuvant alone. Participants will be allocated into three equal groups: Melatonin (M group) and vitamin C (V group), and Melatonin and vitamin C (VM group). Two hours before surgery all patients will receive the study drugs orally and will be continued for 3 days postoperative at the same time of the first administration; 10mg of melatonin for M group (Melatonin 10 mg - Puritan's Pride premium company), 1gm of vitamin C for V group (Sanso C 1000 mg - AUG pharma company), and 10mg of melatonin and 1gm of vitamin C for VM group. Researchers will compare: - The effect of melatonin, vitamin C, and their combination on postoperative opioid consumption - The severity of postoperative pain, using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) - Patients' satisfaction with a three-point scale - The time of the first requirement for rescue analgesia - The effect on the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain.
Patient-controlled analgesia is typically used to relieve postoperative pain. Patient-controlled analgesia, on the other hand, is prone to opioid-related side effects. Furthermore, standard postoperative analgesia has a limited analgesic impact. If postoperative lumbosacral spine pain is not successfully treated, it can progress to chronic pain, compromising patients' quality of life. The methods of access for epidural injections are characterized as transforaminal, interlaminar, or caudal. Caudal epidural injections (CEI) are often utilized as a diagnostic or therapeutic tool in a range of lumbosacral-originating spinal pain problems, and they are especially useful in patients with complicated lumbar epidural access diseases, such as post laminectomy syndrome. It is regarded as a very simple treatment in the realm of interventional pain management, and it is also recognized to have a reduced risk of inadvertent Dural puncture than other epidural techniques
To explore the effects of preoperative pain education on postoperative pain among patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial] is to further explore the effectiveness and safety of oxelidine in the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain after orthopedic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Pain management after orthopaedic surgery provides more effective and safe drug options, provides new options for clinical treatment, and provides a scientific basis for clinical practice. Participants will be asked to pain score in the different time, treatments they'll be given and use optimal drug. Researchers will compare analgesic effect of oxelidine of different dose.
This study aims to compare the effect of paravertebral block and local infiltration anesthesia on postoperative analgesia in children undergoing lateral incision cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The researchers hope to investigate whether children who undergo paravertebral block experience less postoperative pain, have fewer postoperative complications, and recover more quickly.
Adipokines are bioactive substances secreted from adipose tissue and have various functions on appetite, energy, lipid, carbohydrate metabolism, regulation of blood pressure, and inflammation. One of these is asprosin, discovered in 2016, which is secreted from white adipose tissue. It has been shown that the level of asprosin encoded by the Fibrillin 1 gene can vary in metabolic syndrome associated with obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance . Some adipokines such as leptin, adiponectin, or resistin are found in increasing levels in the blood and placenta as pregnancy progresses. The detection of high concentrations of adipokines in cord blood has shown that they play an important role in fetal development and metabolism, can interfere with placental development, and affect pregnancy outcomes and fetal growth. Adipokines associated with appetite, energy, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism have been shown to be effective in modulating pain in recent years. High levels of leptin have been shown to be associated with decreased preoperative pain threshold and increased postoperative analgesic consumption. Recent studies have indicated that asprosin also exhibits analgesic effects in neuropathic pain models and may have clinical benefits in alleviating chronic pain associated with diseases and injuries originating from peripheral structures. It is known that one of the most important factors affecting mothers' approach to anesthesia technique in Cesarean section is their fear of intraoperative and postoperative pain. Almost one in five patients experiences severe acute pain after Cesarean section. Pain can be perceived differently by patients, and even with the same anesthesia technique, some patients may experience more severe pain. Patients' perception of pain is influenced by many factors such as pain threshold, mood, hormonal balance, central sensitization, and genetic factors. We hypothesized that the increased preoperative serum asprosin levels might be associated with increased acute labor pain and that asprosin levels might lead to increased analgesic use in the postoperative period. Additionally, we assumed that patients could alter their preoperative pain threshold and report higher pain scores after surgery due to hyperalgesia caused by high asprosin levels. In this study, we aimed to investigate preoperative serum asprosin levels in patients undergoing Cesarean section with and without acute labor pain and to determine whether there is a relationship between preoperative asprosin levels and postoperative analgesic use.
Following a mastectomy, patients may develop chronic pain, called post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS). This syndrome manifests itself as complex neuropathic pain that seems linked to nerve damage suffered either during surgery, during healing or by nervous system dysfunction. However, the exact pathophysiology remains unknown. Typically, the pain is located on the ipsilateral side of the surgery and projects to the anterior thorax to the lateral thorax and may affect the proximal part of the arm. This pain persists for more than three months following the procedure and has the characteristics of neuropathic pain: burning sensation, tingling, electric shock, hyperalgesia, etc. The prevalence of PMDS varies between 2% and 78%; this disparity comes from the fact that there are no clear criteria in the literature for making the diagnosis. One of the risk factors for developing PMDS is the presence of acute pain immediately postoperatively. The main objective of this study is to compare two analgesic modalities, namely BPV (study modality) and usual analgesia (control modality), in patients undergoing total mastectomy with immediate reconstruction under general anesthesia with the aim of to evaluate their functional pain score at 24, 48 and 72 hours following the surgical procedure.
Pain management is important after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Intravenous morphine is the gold standard for pain relief, but its sedation, cough suppression and decreased bowel movements limit its use. Analgesia with regional methods after surgery provides effective analgesia by reducing morphine consumption. In this study we have planned to compare the erector spina plane block with parasternal block +local infiltration to chest tube areas.
The goal of this randomized double blind study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. one group of participants will receive multimodal analgesia plus ultrasound-guided Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block with ropivacaine 0.5 % after induction of general anesthesia, the other group will receive multimodal analgesia without a bloc. The investigators want to know if participants who receive the Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block with ropivacaine have less pain than participants who do not receive a block.
It is known that non-pharmacological methods are effective in reducing pain in children and that they increase the effectiveness of drugs when used together with analgesics. Non-pharmacological methods are preferred because they are easy to apply and cheap, and they reduce the need for drug administration and thus the risk of side effects. Knowing the impact of pain and associated fear on children, developing appropriate pain control strategies is both a medical and ethical responsibility. Reviewing the literature, there is little scientific evidence that multisensory stimulation is an effective intervention in reducing pain and fear after surgery in children. When the studies on the effect of multisensory stimulation on pain and fear in childhood are examined, it is seen that the studies mostly aim to reduce pain and fear in the neonatal period or before surgery. It is thought that it is an important limitation that multisensory stimulation, which is an effective method for reducing pain and fear in childhood, does not examine its direct effects on postoperative pain, physiological parameters and fear after surgical procedures in children. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the effect of multisensory stimulation on postoperative pain, physiological parameters and fear in children after the surgical procedure.
