Active clinical trials for "Acute Pain"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether sublingual Buprenorphine is as effective as Iv Morphine sulfate on pain control of the patients with acute renal colic in the emergency department.

This is a clinical study that aims to investigate and compare the efficacy of transbuccal paracetamol 125 mg with that of paracetamol 1g administered intravenously in patients with acute pain of moderate intensity accepted to emergency room following a minor trauma of the lower limbs and/or superiors. To this end, several pain scoring will be performed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at various times after drug administration.

This study investigates the treatment of acute pain, an unpleasant feeling caused by an injury. The overall purpose of the study is to gain more information that the pain relief medicine Penthrox(Methoxyflurane) administered using the Penthrox Inhaler(a distinctive green, whistle like object that you breathe through) is safe and works at relieving pain in patients aged 12 years and older who are admitted to a hospital Emergency Department with a minor injury (known as trauma).

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, the safety, and the tolerability of intranasal ketorolac (Sprix) in relieving acute pain in adults ages 18-65 who come to the ED seeking care. Considering all ED visits, pain is the most common chief complaint. Giving intranasal ketorolac (Sprix) after stomach and dental surgeries has been shown to be safe and effective, but no studies have investigated the use of intranasal ketorolac (Sprix) for the treatment of acute pain in the ED. Ketorolac (Sprix) has several advantages over other drugs commonly given for pain, including opioids. Ketorolac (Sprix) is non-addicting and has fewer side effects than opioids. The administration of ketorolac (Sprix) by other methods, such as IV, intramuscular shot, and oral pill form, has been shown to be safe and effective in treating acute pain. This study is being done to find out if giving ketorolac (Sprix) as a single dose nasal spray will have the same benefit in decreasing patient's pain.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of tapentadol immediate-release (IR [CG5503]) for use in the relief of moderate to severe acute pain, compared with placebo, in adult Taiwanese patients with acute pain following bunionectomy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate analgesic efficacy and safety of hydrocodone/acetaminophen compared to placebo in moderate to severe pain following molar extraction.

The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of once daily application of a diclofenac sodium topical patch in reducing acute pain due to mild to moderate wrist sprain, strain or contusion when applied to the painful area.

Patients treated with protocolized pain management (1 mg of IV hydromorphone followed by an additional 1 mg IV hydromorphone if the patient wants more) will have better pain relief and no more adverse events than patients receiving non-protocolized pain management.

Obtaining high-quality analgesia in prehospital patients with severe pain is an important treatment objective for medical team. Opioids are recognized as the treatment of choice for relief of severe acute pain. Recommended initial analgesia of patients with severe acute pain, defined as a visual analog scale or a numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 60/100 or higher, in a prehospital setting in France consists of the administration of opioids by the medical staff of mobile intensive care units. The intravenous administration of morphine is usually considered as the gold standard for postoperative acute pain relief because of its rapid transport from the blood to target tissues after intravenous injection, its long-lasting analgesic effect without any plateau, and its well-known pharmacokinetics. Nevertheless, the short-acting opioid sufentanil might be preferable to the traditional long-acting morphine for prehospital analgesia because of its even faster onset of action and shorter duration than morphine. There is no study, to our knowledge, comparing the clinical efficacy of sufentanil vs morphine in a prehospital setting. This randomized double-blind group clinical trial is designed to determine the best intravenous opioid titration protocol by comparing sufentanil and morphine for medical prehospital treatment of adult patients with severe acute pain. Eligible patients with a numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 60/100 or higher will be randomly allocated to receive either 0.15 µg/kg sufentanil then 0.075 µg/kg every 3 minutes (group A) or 0.15 mg/kg morphine then 0.075 mg/kg every 3 minutes (group B) intravenously. The decision to provide opioid analgesia including titration of subsequent doses of narcotic is the responsibility of physicians and intravenous analgesia will be given and titrated according to the pain score every 3 minutes. The drugs will be administered by the physician from syringes of similar appearance prepared by the nurse who is not otherwise involved in the study. The protocol-defined primary outcome measure is the percentage of patients with pain relief (with a NRS score of 30/100 or lower) 15 minutes after the first injection. Secondary outcomes include pain score comparisons every 3 minutes within the first 30 minutes and comparison of adverse events. The physician blinded to the analgesic treatment groups will do all assessments of patients. The safety evaluation will include non invasive monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (Spo2), and a sedation scale (0, patient is awake; 1, patient is with intermittent sleeping; 2, patient is sleeping, awakened by verbal stimulation; 3, patient is sleeping, awakened by tactile stimulation; 4, patient is not aroused by stimulation) at these periods. Fifteen minutes after the first injection, overall patient and investigator satisfaction with analgesia was recorded.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of two doses of oxymorphone immediate release (IR) compared to placebo and oxycodone in post-surgical pain.
