Filter by:The efficacy of a low dose nicotine patch of seven milligrams placed before surgery and its effect on decreasing pain after surgery is the main purpose of the study.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that orally administered etoricoxib (COX-2) modulates prostaglandin and cytokine synthesis in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the periphery in surgical patients and thus reduces pain and suffering.
This research will test whether consuming additional choline before gynecological surgery decreases postoperative pain.
The study will test the hypothesis that patients anesthetized with propofol suffer less postoperative pain than those anesthetized with sevoflurane.
A simple preoperative evaluation assessing level of anxiety, anticipated pain, and intensity rating of audio tone will predict the severity of postoperative pain after surgery.
This study intends to compare postoperative outcomes of a tissue expander placement following a mastectomy with two different operative techniques. This study will be randomized and double blinded comparing the traditional placement of the tissue expander under an inferolateral serratus muscle flap to a new technique which uses an acellular dermal matrix as an inferolateral sling, instead of the muscle flap. The study we are proposing will evaluate the question of whether there is a difference between the traditional method of serratus flap and the new technique of using an acellular matrix with tissue expander placement. This will be a double blinded randomized study of thirty women in each group comparing outcomes which will include postoperative pain, complications (wound infection, hematoma, capsular contracture, etc), and patient satisfaction with the procedure.
Adeno-tonsillectomy is a commonly performed surgical procedure in children. Main morbidities are postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting, and haemorrhage. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)widely used for paincontrol increase the risk of postoperative bleeding and reoperation. Dexamethasone is an powerful antiemetic and has shown analgesic efficacy. Antiemetic and analgesic dose-response has never been established.
The objectives in this study are to evaluate: (1) efficacy of buprenorphine transdermal system (BTDS, Butrans™) on postoperative pain following total knee replacement surgery; (2) the impact of BTDS on functional rehabilitative measures after total knee replacement surgery; and 3) the safety of BTDS after total knee replacement surgery. The double-blind treatment period is for 28 days during which time supplemental analgesic medication will be provided to all subjects in addition to study drug. Purdue Pharma L.P. terminated the trial early due to administrative reasons not related to efficacy or safety. The focus of this study became safety evaluations.
