Preventive Treatment of Pain After Dental Implant Surgery
Acute PainThe objective of this prospective randomized double-blind study was to evaluate the effects of the preoperative administration of dexketoprofen trometamol (DKT) on the pain perceived by patients after oral surgery for implant placement. Materials and Method: Single oral doses of 25 mg DKT or PLACEBO were administered 15 minutes before the performance of conventional implant surgery to assess the influence of the DKT on pain as reported by the patients. One hundred patients who required single-implant treatments were randomly distributed into one of the two blinded groups following a preliminary examination. Fifteen minutes before surgery, the patients in the test group were given 25 mg DKT (DKT group), and those in the control group were given 500 mg vitamin C as a placebo (PLACEBO group). The patients' pain intensities were measured using a subjective visual analogue scale of 100 mm in length, and pain was measured over a period of 7 days. Inflammation was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale on days 2 and 7.

ArthroplastyReplacement4 moreThis study will prospectively investigate the efficacy of Adductor canal block with periarticular infiltration Vs Adductor canal block, Periarticluar infiltration and Sensory posterior articular nerve of the knee block in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The study will aid in answering question whether SPANK block is an effective adjunct in preventing posterior knee pain without causing motor blockade.
Coronary Angiography THerapeutic Virtual Reality
Virtual RealityAtherosclerosis5 moreThe CATH-VR study will investigate the effect of virtual reality (VR) on patient pain, anxiety, and radial artery vasospasm during coronary angiography. Our hypothesis is that the use of VR will decrease patient anxiety and pain via validated scoring systems, as well as show a low rate of vasospasm of the radial artery. In addition, we hypothesize that the amount of opioid and benzodiazepine medications utilized for procedural sedation will be lower in the intervention arm. VR has gained recent attraction as an alternative or adjunctive treatment option for pain, but its effect on reducing procedural sedation has not been studied. We propose a single center, randomized control pilot study to further investigate. The patient population will include adults older than 18 years who present for outpatient diagnostic coronary angiography.
Comparison of Low-dose Ketamine to Opioids in the Management of Acute Pain in Patients Presenting...
PainAcuteThe purpose of this study is to establish the feasibility of initiating a ketamine pain control protocol in the emergency department for the treatment of acute pain in patients with long bone fractures and to compare the efficacy of the ketamine pain protocol to bolus morphine for pain control in the first 6 hours of patient stay in the emergency department.
Preoperative Fluoroscopy Guided Hip Articular Branch Blocks and Analgesic Outcomes Following Hip...
SurgeryArthroscopic3 moreArthroscopic hip surgeries are increasingly being performed as both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. These procedures are considerably painful, thus requiring the proper pain management techniques in order to provide patient satisfaction and sufficient pain control. Articular branch blocks have not been evaluated for their use in hip arthroscopy, but have potential advantages of blocking the sensory innervation of the entire hip joint, with minimal impact on motor innervation compared to alternative blocks. This current study aims to evaluate the efficacy of using preoperative fluoroscopic-guided blockade of articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves for analgesic management of patients undergoing arthroscopy compared to a saline sham block. The utility of pre-operative hip articular branch block (ABB) prior to hip arthroscopy will provide superior pain management postoperatively compared to a saline sham block. We hypothesize that the ABB (Articular Branch Block) will reduce the area under the NRS pain scores by time curve (AUC) and decreased oral opioid milligram equivalent use in the first 24 hours post-operatively.
Acupuncture for Acute and Chronic Pain in Air Force Personnel
Acute PainThe purpose of this project is to conduct a scientifically rigorous investigation of the clinical outcomes, quality of life, and cost associated with the delivery of acupuncture in the treatment of acute and chronic pain in patients at Malcolm Grow Medical Center, Andrews Air Force Base. The specific aims of this study are to: Gather outcomes and patient satisfaction data on patients receiving acupuncture treatment for acute and chronic pain. Perform an analysis of costs, including any system cost savings, associated with providing acupuncture services to pain patients. Serve as a model to expand the project to Scott AFB and Travis AFB as per the request of the Air Mobility Command Surgeon General. (AMC/SG).

Effects of Distraction Methods on Pain Perceptions and Anxiety Levels in Children During the Blood...
Acute PainNursing CariesAim:This study was conducted to investigate the effects of music, kaleidoscope and video watching methods on children's pain perception and anxiety level during the blood collection procedures. Methods: This randomized controlled experimental study was carried out with 134 children in the 5-10 age group in the pediatric blood collection unit of a Training and Research Hospital between August and November 2018. In the study, nonpharmacological methods were applied to the children in the experimental groups (Music Group (n=33), Kaleidoscope Group (n=36), Video Group (n=31). The routine blood collection procedure was used for the children in the control group (n=34). The data were collected using the "Introductory Information Form", "Children's Fear and Anxiety Scale (CFAS)", and the "Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WB-FPRS)".
