Active clinical trials for "Agnosia"

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of anterior quadratus lumborum block (QLB3) and Erector Spina Plane Block (ESPB) on postoperative acute pain scores and opioid consumption in the first 24 hours in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery

The goal of this study is to determine if non-opioid pain control is a safe way to manage pain after adenotonsillectomy surgery in children. The investigators will be randomly assigning children aged 3-17 to one of two groups: one group will receive non-opioid pain medication only, and the other group will receive opioid and non-opioid medications for pain control. The investigators will analyze the data and determine if there is a difference in pain control between the two drug regimens, and if there are any other associated complications between the two groups. This study is important because if we can demonstrate that there is little difference in outcomes and pain control between the two groups, a strong argument can be made for reducing or eliminating opioid prescription after adenotonsillectomy. This may protect future children from the risks of taking opioid medications and help to reduce the scope of the opioid epidemic.

As the dural puncture epidural (DPE) is increasing in popularity for labor analgesia, it is important to understand how it impacts outcomes in parturients. Prior studies have found epidural catheters placed via the combined-spinal epidural technique have greater success at surgical conversion for cesarean delivery than catheters placed via traditional techniques. The investigators aim to determine if epidural catheters placed by a DPE technique will also have an increased successful conversion for surgical anesthesia by conducting a retrospective review of all CD during the study period. If an association is found, this could be another benefit of DPE for labor analgesia.

This study will be a multicentre randomized, open-label, phase IIIb study. This study will evaluate two different techniques of sedation: an analgesia based regimen with remifentanil versus a conventional sedation based regimen using propofol in subjects that require mechanical ventilation for at least 2 days in the ICU. The conventional sedation based regimen will consist of propofol combined with an opioid according to routine clinical practice (morphine, fentanyl, sufentanil or other as required) . The analgesia based regimen will consist of remifentanil, with propofol added on if required.

The proposed research is an important extension of an ongoing perioperative personalized analgesia and intravenous opioid pharmacogenetic research. This research focuses on two of the most commonly used oral opioid analgesics, oxycodone, and methadone in elderly adults undergoing cardiac surgery.

The purpose of this randomized, triple-blinded, prospective, feasibility study is to compare postoperative analgesia provided by Pecto-intercostal Fascial Block (PIFB) when performed with local anesthetic solution with or without perineural adjuvants in patients following cardiac surgery involving sternotomy. The study team hypothesizes that the patients receiving PIFB with bupivacaine with epinephrine, clonidine, and dexamethasone will have lower dynamic pain over the first 36 hours compared to those receiving PIFB with just bupivacaine and epinephrine.

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Two-Part Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Locally Administered HTX-011 for Postoperative Analgesia Following Bunionectomy

The purpose of this study is to determine which postoperative analgesia is optimal after colorectal surgery. The investigators will compare intrathecal morphine, continuous epidural analgesia and standard systemic analgesia. All patients will have the possibility to administer themselves intravenous morphine as needed.

Randomized single blind trial based on comparing the way the local anesthetic is dosificated during labour. The pain control is evaluated and compared with both dosage techniques (PCEA vs PIEB)using levobupivacaine and fentanyl. The primary objective is to see no differences in pain control(VAS, Visual Analog Scale). The secondary goals are the differences in motor block(Bromage Scale), satisfaction (Likert Scale), the outcome (eutocic, instrumental o cesarean section), second stage of labour time, newborn´s Apgar and pH and total dosis and secondary effects of local anesthetic.

Intrathecal (IT) opioids are commonly administered with local anesthetic during spinal anesthesia for post-Cesarean delivery analgesia. Traditionally, IT morphine has been used but the use of IT hydromorphone is growing. A previous study has shown that the effective dose for postoperative analgesia in 90% patients (ED90) for both IT hydromorphone and IT morphine (NCT02009722). These doses were found to be 75 mcg for hydromorphone and 150 mcg for morphine. The current proposed study would compare the duration of analgesia of IT morphine vs IT hydromorphone after elective cesarean delivery. Additionally, the investigators will compare each drug with respect the incidence of nausea and pruritus.
