Active clinical trials for "Acute Pain"

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of a combination of separate therapies of Biofreeze® and TheraBand Kinesiology Tape to advice on acute pain, disability and fear avoidance among low back patients over a 1-week period of time.

The goal of the present study is to compare different therapeutic strategies (according to habituation model vs. according to the inhibitory learning approach) during exposure to thermal pain in an experimental design.

The purpose of this study is to compare three different pain control methods on subjects who are scheduled to undergo VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) procedures. The study will compare their pain scores, narcotic needs, patient satisfaction scores, and narcotic side effects.

The purpose of this study to compare the effect of Biofreeze® versus a Placebo on neck pain, disability, fear avoidance, and range of motion prior to and following cervical manipulation over the course of one week among patients with acute neck pain.

This study aims to investigate whether infraclavicular nerve block improves acute postoperative pain after distal radial fracture surgery.

A Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Trial of the Efficacy of Gabapentin vs. Placebo for Adjutant Pain Control Following Acute Rib Fractures.

Medical abortion has been associated with significant pain. The objective of this trial is to determine whether one dose of pregabalin 300 mg, given during medical abortion in addition to the standard of care analgesics, will decrease experienced pain. Investigators will perform a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Participant pain levels and side effects will be assessed at multiple time points, along with a measure of satisfaction.

The purpose of the study is three fold. First to determine the ideal dose of dexamethasone intraoperatively that will reduce acute pain and opioid consumption. Second determine if dexamethasone at the time of surgery reduces chronic pain following total knee arthroplasty and finally determine if a pro-inflammatory environment makes patients susceptible to chronic pain after surgery and can dexamethasone alter this environment. Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty will be randomized to four groups ( 0mg, 6mg, 12mg and 24mg dexamethasone) and assessments will be made of acute and chronic pain and quality of life measures. Blood samples will be drawn to assess Interleukin levels and for Macrophage sorting. For the primary efficacy endpoint of reduction of opioid consumption over 24 hours after surgery the dexamethasone regimen group will be compared to standard of care group using t-test. For comparisons of the secondary efficacy endpoints, t-test, Chi-square test and Fisher's Exact test will be used. Risks of this study include the risks of venipuncture and intravenous dexamethasone administration.

Comparison of effectiveness of preoperative Gabapentin with Celecoxib in reducing acute postoperative pain in abdominal hysterectomy, A randomized double blind controlled trial

Purpose: To compare the effects between non-vibration foam rolling (NVFR) and vibration foam rolling (VFR) on visual analogic scale (VAS), pressure pain threshold (PPT), oxygen saturation (SmO2), counter-movement jump (CMJ), and hip and knee range of movement (ROM) after induction of muscle damage through eccentric acute-exercise using inertial flywheel. Methods: Thirty-eight healthy subjects (males n=32 females= 6, age 22.2±3.2 years) were randomly assigned in a counter-balanced fashion to either a VFR or NVFR protocol group. All subjects performed a 10x10 (sets x reps) eccentric squat protocol to induce muscle damage. The protocols were administered 48-h post-exercise, measuring VAS, PPT, SmO2, CMJ and ROM, before and immediately post-treatment. The technique of treatment was repeated on both legs for 1 min for a total of 5 sets, with a 30-s rest between sets.
