Patient Controlled Intrathecal Analgesia With Bupivacaine for Chronic Low Back Pain

PainIntractable2 more

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the local anesthetic bupivacaine delivered intrathecally in small doses via PTM self-administered boluses significantly improves the breakthrough pain and functional status of patients with chronic intractable pain who are managed with an intrathecal drug delivery system.

Study of Breakthrough Cancer Pain: Assessment of Fentanyl Buccal Tablets Titration and Treatment...

Cancer PainBreakthrough Pain

Breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) is a common problem in patients with cancer. Fentanyl Buccal Tablet (FBT) is used for the treatment of BTP in adults with cancer who are already receiving maintenance opioid therapy for chronic cancer pain. FBT treatment should be individually titrated to an effective dose that provides adequate analgesia and minimizes undesirable effects. To reach the safest effective dose for the individual patient as soon as possible, the dose titration process is critical. The aim of this study, conducted under pragmatic conditions in a large-scale population of cancer patients is to compare the proportion of patients reaching an effective FBT dose after titration starting with either a 100 mcg dose or a 200 mcg dose.

Epidural Fentanyl-bupivacaine Versus Clonidine-bupivacaine for Breakthrough Pain in Advanced Labor...

Labor Pain

Epidural analgesia is widely regarding as the most effective analgesic strategy for labor pain. Modern practice is to utilize dilute local anesthetics as a continuous infusion along with an opioid, e.g., our common "recipe" of 12 ml/hr of 0.0625% bupivacaine with 2 micrograms/ml fentanyl, after the initial dose to maintain patient comfort until delivery. This dose of the infusion often provides adequate comfort without interfering with the mobility of the patient and her ability to effectively push during delivery. However, this low dose epidural infusion strategy often results in recurrence of pain after an initial pain free period. This breakthrough pain is treated by administering small boluses of analgesics via the epidural catheter. The pain occurring in labor is initially of visceral origin and is mediated by pain fibers originating from the low thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord. As labor progresses to the late first phase (also known as transitional stage), pain sensations originating from the distension of the pelvic floor, vagina and perineum adds a somatic component to labor pain. This type of breakthrough pain is often difficult to treat. Although requests from patients to alleviate late stage breakthrough pain are common, no one knows the most effective strategy for pain management in this stage of labor. This study is designed to compare the efficacy of two treatments for controlling late first stage breakthrough pain during labor with an epidural infusion in place: clonidine-bupivacaine versus fentanyl-bupivacaine. Women who have labor epidural analgesia in place will be enrolled to be randomized if and when they present with breakthrough pain in the late first stage or second stage of labor (≥ 8 cm dilated). They will receive 8 ml of a solution containing 10 mg bupivacaine and 75 micrograms of either fentanyl (an opioid or "narcotic") or clonidine (an "alpha-2 agonist known to be effective as an epidural analgesic). Pain relief, labor progress and outcome will be assessed to compare fentanyl versus clonidine. It is the hypothesis of this study that clonidine added to bupivacaine is a better analgesic than fentanyl added to bupivacaine for breakthrough pain in advanced labor.

Oral Piroxicam Versus Buccal Fentanyl in Breakthrough Pain

Neoplasm Metastases

100 patients with Breakthrough pain will be allocated to receive either oral prioxicam (OP) (n=50) or sublingual fentanyl (SLF) (n=50) . Patients will be divided randomly into two equal groups: oral prioxicam (OP) Group and sublingual fentanyl citrate (SLF) Group, comprising of 50 patients each. Pain intensity level on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS), patients will be instructed about the use of a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) (0 = no pain to 10 = worst possible pain). frequency of Breakthrough pain throughout the day, onset of relief (0-5, 6-10, 11-15, or over 16 min), time required for dose titration, patient satisfaction and adverse effects were assessed at 3, 7, 15, and 30 days after starting the treatment.

Analgesic Efficacy of Transmucosal Fentanyl for Breakthrough Pain Caused by Interventional Gastrostomy...

GastrostomyBreakthrough Pain1 more

Patients with Head & Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma often need a gastrostomy. It can be performed with a radiological approach. This procedure is usually not performed under general anesthesia, but local anesthesia is not sufficient to counteract pain due to gastric insufflation and incision of the abdominal wall. Standard analgesic treatments are usually not well-fitted due to onset of action or route of administration. An alternative solution could be fentanyl nasal spray, a treatment with a fast onset of action and with easy use allowing repetition if needed, during the procedure. The purpose of this study is to compare analgesic efficacy of nasal instillation of PECFENT® to usually administered morphinic analgesic treatment with fast onset of action (ORAMORPH®), in radiologic percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement: during the procedure following the procedure (measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain at 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours after procedure). Secondary purposes are to compare easiness of 2 treatments and their adverse effects.

PainUnspecified Adult Solid Tumor1 more

RATIONALE: Morphine that is inhaled may be more rapidly absorbed than morphine that is given by mouth. It is not yet known if inhaled morphine is more effective than morphine given by mouth in relieving breakthrough pain. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of inhaled morphine with that of morphine given by mouth in treating cancer patients who have breakthrough pain.
