Active clinical trials for "Agnosia"

Several regional anesthesia have been shown to improve postoperative outcomes in many studies. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block provides anesthesia to the abdominal wall by introducing local anesthetic to the anterior rami of the spinal nerve roots. This work evaluates the analgesic effects gained after performing thoracolumbar interfacial plane block (analogous to the TAP block but intended for the back) which targets the sensory component of the dorsal rami of the thoracolumbar nerves in patients undergoing back surgeries.

Effectiveness of erector spinae plane block for analgesia in breast surgery was documented in previous studies. Rhomboid intercostal block may be beneficial for analgesia in breast surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the peri-operative analgesic effect of rhomboid intercostal block with erector spinae plane block in mastectomy operation. This trial was designed as prospective randomized single-blind study. The included patients will be assigned into two groups: RIB-Group where the patients will receive ultrasound-guided rhomboid intercostal block and ESP-Group where the patients will receive ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block prior to the operation. Primary outcome will be peri-operative pain scores and secondary outcomes will be peri-operative opioid consumption and peri-operative hemodynamic effect of these blocks.

Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erector spinal block (ESB) for analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy（LC）. Method: This study is a randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial. Pre-operative ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block will be performed in the ESPB group. Vertebral side block will be performed in the VSB group. And the control group will receive local anaesthesia after the surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative analgesia effect and side effects will be compared between the three groups.

Study hypothesis: Low level laser (LED) will reduce initial bone resorption and improve primary stability of dental implant. It will also reduces post operative pain compared to patient without treatment Implant osseointegration depends on many factors including biocompatibility of implant materials, design, surface, surgical access, patient conditions, biomechanical status, and lack of primary stability. Several in vivo and in vitro studies showed the healing effect of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on bone by decreasing the initial bone resorption postoperatively and increasing the primary stability of the implant. It has also shown to have an analgesic effect intraorally when used post intraoral surgical procedures. The exact mechanism is unclear despite the fact that many hypothesis has been proposed. In our study, our goal is to present, in a randomized standardized clinical trial, the effect of LLLT on post operative implant stability assessed by resonance frequency analysis (RFA). We will assess the subjective measures of postoperative pain using visual analog scale (VAS).

Adding dexamethasone to local anesthetic will significantly prolong duration of brachial plexus anesthesia and analgesia.

Effective postoperative pain control is essential for patients and inadequate postoperative pain relief can cause mental and psychological sufferings. Despite the growing concern on postoperative pain management, acute postoperative pain is still poorly managed. Though numerous clinical practice guidelines for postoperative pain management have been published throughout the last decades, inadequate pain relief remain a big health care issue. Sufentanil has been used as satisfied pain control drug because of its strong potency of analgesia for a long while. But its use in patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) has not been clarified. And the dilemma of safety concern and insufficient dosage of analgesic is a common problem. Thus the investigators design this prospective randomized controlled double blinded trial to observe the efficacy and the optimal dose of sufentanil in PCIA in patients underwent moderate surgery for the purpose of providing reference in clinical practice.

Neuraxial analgesia is the gold standard to relieve labor pain. A recent "Practice guidelines for obstetric anesthesia" suggests that neuraxial analgesia should be provided in the early stage of labor (cervical dilation < 5 cm) or on a individualized basis. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate whether neuraxial labor analgesia administered on an individualized basis can improve analgesia quality and maternal satisfaction.

In this study ; Two randomized groups will be created. Iv magnesium will be given to one of the blindly designated groups. The other group will be given only isotonic. All patients will be awakened after the analgesic agents (0,1mg / kg morphine, 15mg / kg paracetamol, nsaid) are used in routine practice and will be followed up for intensive care. The use of PCA (patient controlled analgesia) device is available in both groups.In post-operative period, magnesium infusion will be continued for 12 h. Only 100cc isotonic will be given without using magnesium to the other group. VAS (visual analog scale) score will be recorded at postoperative 30. minutes and 2,6,12,18,24 hours. In routine administration, the patient should be given 2 mg of morphine if vas>4 and the maximum dose will be increased to 10 mg.

A comparison of two pain control methods - the combination of Adductor Canal Block (ACB)/Infiltration of the interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) versus the Periarticular Injection (PAI)/ Infiltration of the interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) - in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. dexketoprofen and paracetamol will be added to both groups and multimodal analgesia will be applied. Primary outcome is NRS pain scores with ambulation on postoperative day one (24 hours post-block administration).

Fetal heart rate abnormalities are common. Miller et al. have demonstrated that new onset fetal heart rate abnormalities after initial labor epidural dosing occur more frequently in women with a low admission pulse pressure than those with a normal admission pulse. The aim of the present study is to look for a statistical link between the occurrence of a fetal heart abnormality requiring an intervention and maternal hemodynamic factors (blood pressure, pulse pressure, and cardiac output) measured before epidural analgesia in two positions: dorsal decubitus position and in the left lateral decubitus.
