Filter by:The study carry out is to determine whether the use of oral pregabalin premedication to assess the analgesic efficacy, opiod sparing, adverse effect and clinical value in post-operative pain management.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of levobupivacaine for postoperative pain control in patients received orthognathic surgery. In this split-mouth study, each side will be randomized to receive 1) 5ml 0.5% levobupivacine, 2) 2.5ml 0.5% levobupivacaine, or 3) placebo. One shot of these agents will be delivered by nerve block to maxillary and mandibular branches of trigeminal nerve before the incision was made. The degree of postoperative pain will be evaluated daily by visual analog scale for up to 3 days. The anticipated time on study is 1 year, and the target sample size is 40 individuals.
This is a single-institution, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Subjects determined to need a cholecystectomy will be consented for surgery and study participation prior to enrollment in this study. Patients will then be randomized to receive either a single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy or a four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The investigators hypothesize that patients anesthetized with sevoflurane have more pain, postoperatively, than those anesthetized with propofol.
Can a nurse-based, anesthesiologist-supervised model reduce prevalence of postoperative pain in pediatric patients?
This prospective, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study will be conducted in three study centers in Guangzhou, China. Patients aged older than 65 (ASA I-III) undergoing primary elective abdominal surgery with general anesthesia will be involved in this study. According to previous studies and our pilot trial, the sample size was estimated to be 900 subjects (each center recruiting 300 patients). All eligible patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: study group receiving parecoxib and control group receiving normal saline. All patients will be managed with by a standard clinical anesthesia protocol with a sevoflurane-based general anesthesia with continuous intravenous remifentanil, followed by a postoperative PCA with morphine. The emergence delirium will be evaluated by two persons blinding to medication and grouping using Riker sedation-agitation scale immediately since tracheal extubation and at specific time points until patients being discharged from PACU. Pain intensity assessments and pain relief assessments will also be conducted by the patients at given time points in 2 days postoperatively. The morphine-sparing effect, tolerability and safety of parecoxib will be investigated as well.
Randomized trial comparing lumbar plexus catheter versus femoral nerve catheter (single-shot femoral block as control group) for postoperative pain control after anterior cruciate ligament repair in children (age 11-21). Primary outcome is pain scores for the first 72 hours. Secondary outcomes include opioid consumption, incidence of opioid side effects and quality of recovery (previously validated scale). Our hypothesis is that lumbar plexus catheter will provide superior pain control and overall quality of recovery compared to femoral nerve catheters.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 8 mg of dexamethasone administered prior surgery, to reduce pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting and to improve vocal function after thyroidectomy for benign disease.
High-volume infiltration analgesia may be effective in postoperative pain management following total hip arthroplasty. In this randomized, double-blind trial patients undergoing bilateral hip arthoplasty are randomized to receive high-volume local anesthetic infiltration in one hip and similar infiltration with saline (placebo) in the other hip.
