Active clinical trials for "Acute Pain"

This randomized controlled study is designed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of the ultrasound-guided modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The investigators hypothesized that the US-guided M-TAPA would be more effective in postoperative pain control than the US-guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB).

More than 50% of patients presenting with chest trauma experience rib fractures and these rib fractures are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and long-term disability. Many of these adverse outcomes result from poorly controlled pain that interferes with breathing, leading to atelectasis, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. Therefore, early provision of adequate analgesia is crucial in the management of these patients. The basic stones of analgesic therapy are oral and intravenous drugs such as paracetamol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and opioids. However, patients with more significant injuries or comorbidities often require interventional procedures to provide adequate analgesia and avoid opioid-related side effects. Thoracic epidural analgesia and thoracic paravertebral blocks have traditionally been used, but these techniques are associated with side effects and may cause hemodynamic instability. Today, the use of ultrasonography (USG) guided block techniques such as erector spinae plane block (ESPB), serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) and intercostal block (ICB) has increased. These techniques are considered to be simpler and theoretically safer. Although ICB is frequently mentioned in the literature, the publications of new plane blocks such as ESPB and SAPB are new and few in number. In this study, SAPB and ICP to be performed with USG will be evaluated in terms of analgesic effect.

The purpose of CLCT-006, a multi-center open-label study, is to evaluate the safety of CL-108 (hydrocodone 7.5 mg/APAP 325 mg, promethazine 12.5 mg) for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain ("flare") associated with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip under actual conditions of use.

This study investigates the use of low doses of ketamine, along with opiate pain medication, is more effective at controlling the acute pain of patients in the emergency department than opiate pain medication alone. In addition, this study examines whether patients treated with low doses of ketamine, along with opiate pain medication, will require less opiate pain medication to control their pain, and whether these patients are equally happy with their pain control as patients who receive only opiate pain medication.

Acute Pain is the most common early complication after total knee arthroplasty that caused delayed mobilization, demands of morphine, and higher operative cost. There were many researches that had been done in analgesia method to find the most effective analgesia, lowest side effect, and easy to apply. Preemptive analgesia of combined celecoxib and pregabalin were reported to give a promising outcome. In a randomized, double blind controlled clinical trial, 30 subjects underwent surgery for total knee arthroplasty using 15-20mg bupivacaine 5% epidural anesthesia. All subjects were divided into three groups. First group was given celecoxib 400mg and pregabaline 150mg 1 hour before operation, second group was given celecoxib 200mg and pregabaline 75mg twice daily started from 3 days before operation, and the last group was given placebo. The outcome was measured with VAS, knee ROM, and post-operative mobilization

Peripheral nerve block is an ideal choice for lower limb surgery because of the peripheral site of the surgical procedure and the ability to block pain pathways at multiple levels. On the contrary to other anesthetic techniques, as spinal or general anesthesia, properly performed peripheral nerve blocks bypass adverse events as hemodynamic instability and respiratory complications, properly treat post-operative pain leading to early hospital discharge. Additional advantages of peripheral nerve blocks are that they can be used in patients receiving anti-coagulants or lumbosacral disease in addition to avoidance of airway instrumentation. Recently, there has been a significant interest in regional anesthesia and peripheral nerve blockade. This is facilitated by a significant advance of the research in this field and availability of better equipment facilitating regional anesthesia.The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of SOFT block (sciatic-obturator-femoral nerve block technique) in comparison with spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing surgery for fixation of open tibial fractures using Ilizarov external fixator.

Renal colics are a common cause af acute intense pain in medical emergency settings requiring often the use of high level antalgics (opioid) to relief the patient. In the other hand, Acupuncture is well known widely for its therapeutic characteristics, especially in relieving pain. the aim of these study is to compare this two pain relieving techniques in patients consulting the emergency departement (ED) for acute onset renal colics.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sufentanil tablet (ST) 30 mcg in the management of moderate-to-severe acute pain in patients in an emergency room (ER) setting.

Sports-related soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, and contusions, are a common painful condition. Current treatment includes oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which have a high incidence of intolerable gastrointestinal side effects. Ancient Indian healing system, Ayurveda addresses the need of sports medicine up to certain extent. In practice, there are different treatment modalities for injuries, uses of drugs & dietetics as well as practices of rehabilitation. Although, previous evidences support the efficacy of ayurveda practices with significant reduction in pain, joint tenderness, joint swelling, mobility restriction and early morning joint stiffness. But there is no treatment studies have been performed to evaluate the clinical outcome for specific sports injuries. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of ayurveda gel and patches applied to the painful injury site for the treatment of acute minor sports injury pain.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies topical cryotherapy (cooling hands and feet with ice bags) in reducing pain in patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy or paclitaxel induced acute pain syndrome. Peripheral neuropathy is a nerve problem that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body. Paclitaxel produces a disabling syndrome of acute aches and pains. Topical cryotherapy is being studied to see if it can help relieve pain from peripheral neuropathy or acute pain syndrome caused by chemotherapy.
