Filter by:this study compares the use of intrathecal morphine, to multimodal analgesic techniques for postoperative pain management following laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
In cases of benign adnexal mass laparoscopic surgery, women were randomized to two groups: transumbilical vs. transabdominal removal. Need for pain medication, postoperative pain and patients´ satisfaction were assessed between the groups, as well as surgeons´ opinions and costs.
The investigators conducted a prospective, randomized, double blind study to compare the effectiveness of intravenous paracetamol and dexketoprofen for preventing pain during first 24 hours postoperative period in adult patient undergoing septoplasty.
Evaluation of the combination of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve "single shot" and femoral nerve "single shot" block as effective and safe alternative postoperative analgesic technique after hip replacement surgery.
Patients who are dependent on opioids often have poor pain relief after major surgery. This study tests the hypothesis that adding intravenous ketamine to a postoperative regimen of intravenous opioids for postoperative pain will improve pain relief in this subset of patients.
This is a prospective randomized study to compare surgical methods for the repair of large abdominal hernia.
Caldolor® is an intravenous (IV) formulation of ibuprofen encompassing analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic (anti-fever) properties. Caldolor® is the first IV antipyretic approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), providing an alternate route for administration of ibuprofen when the oral route is not preferable. Recent studies have reported that Caldolor® decreases morphine use and pain at rest and with movement compared to patients not receiving this drug. The hypothesis of the proposed study is that a single dose of Caldolor® 800 mg given 30 minutes preoperatively for patients undergoing laparoscopic or open inguinal and/or umbilical hernia repair will result in a >20% decrease in postoperative narcotic use within the first 24 hours and at 7 days, and decreased VAS Pain Score at 2 hours, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after surgery. The use of less postoperative narcotics has been associated with a faster return of normal bowel function and resumption of normal ambulatory status thus resulting in improved general well being for the patient.
In the United States alone, each year approximately 5 million children undergo painful surgery, many of them experience serious side-effects with opioids and inadequate pain relief. Safe and effective analgesia is an important unmet critical medical need in children and its continued existence is an important perioperative safety and economic problem. Inadequate pain relief and serious side effects from perioperative opioids occur frequently in up to 50% of children. Morphine, the most commonly used perioperative opioid, has a narrow therapeutic index and large inter-patient variations in analgesic response and serious side effects. Frequent inter-individual variations in responses to morphine have significant clinical and economic impact with inadequate pain relief at one end of the spectrum of responses and serious adverse effects such as respiratory depression at the other end. Much of the inter-individual variability in response to a dose of morphine following surgical procedures can be explained by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a subset of the genes that encode proteins involved in pain mechanisms and opioid pathway.
The aim of this randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the specific role of injection of local anesthetic into the intra- vs. extraarticular tissues after toal knee arthroplasty.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of aerosolized pain medication (.5% bupivicaine) delivered into the peritoneal cavity after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. This double blind study will include 50 patients. 25 will receive the aerosolized pain medication and 25 will receive a placebo (normal saline). All 50 patients will receive routine/typical methods of post-operative pain management. Post operative pain scores of the patients will be examined to determine the effect of aerosolization.
