Active clinical trials for "Acute Pain"

Poststernotomy pain is a complication of cardiac surgery. Poorly controlled pain is associated with myocardial ischemia, cardiac arrhythmias, hypercoagulability, pulmonary complications, and increased rates of delirium and wound infection. The transverse thoracic muscle plane (TTMP) block is a novel plane block that provide pain for sternotomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided TTMP block in patients undergoing open heart surgery.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Ketamine drip along with usual care and usual care alone on trauma patients and to longitudinally quantify the pain experience of patients during hospitalization.

Multimodal pain management is essential for recovery after surgery, aiming to target different pain mechanisms to minimize opioid usage and opioid-related adverse effects. Evidence for benefits and harms of various non-opioid analgesic combinations is, however, nearly non-existing, and large-scale trials are urgently needed. Recently, the investigators have demonstrated that combining paracetamol and ibuprofen is superior to each single drug when assessing pain after hip replacement. Further improvement is needed, investigating additional non-opioid analgesics to this combination. Glucocorticoids have anti-emetic and analgesic properties, but evidence for analgesic efficacy in combination with paracetamol and ibuprofen is lacking. The RECIPE trial is an investigator-initiated randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel, 4-group, blinded multicentre trial with 90-day follow-up investigating benefits and harms of different combinations of paracetamol, ibuprofen, and dexamethasone for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome is total use of IV morphine 0-24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes are pain (upon mobilisation, at rest, and during 5 m walk), and adverse events. Exploratory outcomes include quality of sleep, opioid-related adverse effects, serious adverse events (< 90 days), and patient reported disability score and quality of life (at 90 days). Based on sample-size calculations, 1060 patients are needed to detect a minimal clinically important difference in 24-hour morphine consumption of 8 mg, using a familywise type 1 error rate of 0.05 and a type 2 error rate of 0.2. The primary analyses will be based on the intention to treat population. More than six Danish university- and regional hospitals will participate in the trial. With this trial the investigators expect to lay the foundation for the best postoperative multimodal analgesic regimen for both total hip arthroplasty and possibly other surgeries, thereby facilitating recovery for millions of future surgical patients worldwide.

The effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to reduce pain scores for patients with acute back pain in an ambulatory emergency department (ED) population will be examined in this dual-center, cluster randomized, controlled, open-label study.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block combined with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block vs. PENG block combined with wound infiltration for analgesia after elective hip replacement performed with a posters-lateral approach. Half of participants will receive a PENG Block combined with femoral lateral cutaneous nerve block, while the other half will receive PENG Block combined with wound infiltration

The purpose of this study is to: Compare the effect of paracetamol alone against Paracetamol+Codeine association against the association of paracetamol + Cafeine in the treatment of post-traumatic acute pain of the limbs.

Acute pain is reported in approximately 80% of patients undergoing postoperative care for various types of surgical procedures in the United States. Another study reported patient postoperative pain intensity with 75% with severe pain in the first 1 to 2 postoperative days and 38% reporting moderate to severe pain at 14 postoperative days. Several modalities have been used as the standard for the management of pain postoperative C-sections. One of the postoperative analgesic modalities for SC is quadratus lumborum block (QLB). This technique has advantages in relieving postoperative pain after C-section because it is considered to be able to relieve visceral pain as well as somatic pain. The transmuscular QLB (QLBT) approach is one of the most frequently used. This technique was found to be effective with regard to the distribution of analgesics to the paravertebral spaces which is the hallmark of QLB. However, this technique was found to be difficult to perform. Difficulties were reported related to the position of the procedure i.e. lateral or sitting position.

The purpose of this phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VVZ-149 Injections for the treatment of postoperative pain following laparoscopic colectomy.

This open-label study will be conducted to assess the bioavailability and PK of oral single doses of CT-044 following administration with and without food and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CT-044 when given with and without food.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effects of cannabidiol for patients who have undergone simple tooth extraction. Participants will be randomized to one of four arms: treatment-as-usual (TAU), cannabidiol 17mg/mL, cannabidiol 37mg/mL, or placebo.
