Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

Inadequate pain relief after cardiac surgery increases morbidity and results in a high incidence of persistent poststernotomy pain syndrome. The use of special opioid-based analgesia causes adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, sedation, urinary retention, respiratory depression and delayed tracheal extubation. Regional anesthesia techniques such as pectoralis nerve block and serratus anterior block provide analgesia in the sternum and pain relief in the lateral / posterior chest Wall. Erector spinae (ESP) block, a new and simple myofascial block, provides wide multi-dermatomal sensory block. In the T5 spinous process, bilateral ESP block provides analgesia from T2 to T9 sensory level, resulting in both somatic and visceral analgesia by blocking both the dorsal and ventral of the spinal nerves, including the sympathetic chain. This block may provide adequate analgesia for median sternotomy because the main nerve supply to the sternal region is from T2 to T6. Median sternotomy incision and mediastinal tube regions are the major source of pain in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The anterior and posterior branches of the intercostal nerves give nerves to the sternum. Parasternal local anesthetic infiltration around the sternum is effective in providing early postoperative analgesia and reducing opioid requirements and therefore has positive effects on healing. This simple and fast technique can be used even for anticoagulated patients.

This is a multiple center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of brivoligide injection administered intrathecally before surgery in patients with high Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) scores undergoing mastectomy with immediate tissue expander or implant placement.

Postoperative analgesia management in inguinal hernia surgery is difficult because of the content of the surgical procedure. A multimodal approach to postoperative analgesia has recently been proposed. For this reason, various methods are used.Regional blocks, pharmacological treatments are among these methods. Among the regional blocks, ilioinguinal and hypogastric blocks are used more safely and with increasing frequency, especially with the introduction of ultrasonography in the clinic.Forero et al. firstly, erector spinae block which was used for the first time in the treatment of thoracic neuropathic pain has been widely used especially in laparoscopic abdominal surgery and it has taken its place in the literature. It is performed at T4-5 level in breast and thoracic surgery and T7 level in abdominal surgery. In this block, local anesthesia between the erector spina muscle and the transverse protrusion of the vertebra was used to create analgesia in the anterior abdominal wall. In this study, we planned to investigate degree of postoperative pain, sensory block levels, analgesic consumption, propofol-remifentanyle consumption and side effects of patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery under general anesthesia with erector spinae block.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries cause moderate/severe pain and thus can result in shallow breathing, atelectasis and increased opioid consumption in the early postoperative period which in turn cause a longer hospital stay. Erector spinae plane block has been shown to decrease lower thoracic pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries. This study aims to investigate the effect of erector spinae plane block on opioid consumption and diaphragma movement after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries.

This double-blinded, placebo-control trial clinical trial aims to investigate the effect of IV oxytocin infusion on peri-operative opioid consumption following a minimally invasive hysterectomy under general anesthesia. The patient population will be women scheduled for an elective, minimally invasive hysterectomy at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The investigators hypothesize that, compared to a placebo, exposure to intravenous (IV) oxytocin will reduce the amount of opioid consumption for women after a minimally invasive hysterectomy procedure.

in order to eliminate fear and anxiety. Regional techniques are more effective than systemic opioids, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and acetaminophen for postoperative analgesia in circumcision, The most preferred techniques are dorsal penile nerve block and caudal block. Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of post operative analgesia and complications among dorsal penile nerve block, caudal block and the combination of both. Patients and Methods: Our study was carried out to compare the effectiveness, duration of post-operative analgesia, and the complications among dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB), caudal nerve block (CNB) and the combination of both. This study will carrey out on 81 male patients, aged from 3-12 years old & undergoing circumcision. The patients were divided into 3 groups, each is composed of 27 patients; group 1 including DPNB patients, group 2 including CNB patients and group 3 for combined block. This study compared between the three groups regarding the intra-operative vital data (HR,BP), post-operative VAS scores and the complications (nausea, vomiting, urinary retention, itching, constipation & CNS depression).

In this study, hypothesis is that the MTPB (mid point transverse process block), which is easier and has fewer complications in patients aged 18-80 undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), provides analgesia as effective as PVB.

This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of care based on the "Accelerated Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol" and the traditional method in bariatric surgery and demonstrate the difference the two methods based on evidence.

Moderate to severe postoperative pain is usually encountered after cardiac surgery.Improper postoperative pain control could have multiple hemodynamic hazards in addition to prolonged postoperative ventilatory support and intensive care unit stay .The safety and efficacy of ultrasound guided chest wall plane blocks has been described for postoperative analgesia after cardiac surgeries. Study objective: to investigate the effect of adding of pecto-intercostal fascial plane block on the postoperative pain control, perioperative analgesic consumptions and the time for ventilation weaning and intensive care unit discharge in patients who will undergo off-pump Coronary artery bypass surgeries. Methods: This study patients will be randomly assigned to 2 Groups to receive preoperative ultrasound-guided pecto-intercostal fascial plane block with either 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine with adrenaline 1:400,000 or saline bilaterally.

To compare patient pain perception and satisfaction as well as opioid-related side effects during inpatient and outpatient care when undergoing bariatric enhanced recovery after surgery protocols with and without methadone.
