Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The primary objective of this study is to determine if the addition of PECS2 block provides superior post-operative analgesia for cardiac surgery patients after midline sternotomy compared to only standard-of-care post-operative pain medication.

Postoperative analgesia is provided by local anesthesia combined with intrathecal narcotics. In addition, for the first 24 hours, this combination has a parenteral opioid sparing effect. However, despite its benefits, this method has been associated to an increased incidence of urine retention, nausea, and vomiting, as well as pruritus. A new localized analgesic approach called as IPACK (infiltration between the knee capsule and the popliteal artery) has been employed in practice.

The aim of this double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial was to test whether pre-emptive analgesia with ibuprofen suppository is effective for children undergoing pediatric stomatology day surgeries in the postoperative period.

Postoperative pain negatively effects respiratory functions in open heart surgeries. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on postoperative pain and respiratory functions in patients undergoing open heart surgery with sternotomy

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is often associated with severe postoperative pain that is often significant enough to interfere with initial recovery and rehabilitation. The pain that can be difficult to manage without large dose of opioid. The study aim to explore the effect of continuous irrigation of fluids mixed with lidocaine and epinephrine for analgesic consumption and postoperative pain after shoulder arthroscopy.

To evaluate and compare the efficacy of single level injection erector spinae plane block versus double level injection Erector spinae plane block in laparotomies

Hip joint surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children is extremely painful and associated with considerable postoperative pain despite the use of systemic opioids. Caudal anesthesia and lumbar plexus block (LPB) were still the most common regional anesthesia techniques for perioperative analgesia in children undergoing this type of surgery. recently, pediatric anesthesiologists don't consider choosing both techniques because of potential complications such as intravascular and intrathecal injection, and urine retention. novel peripheral nerve blocks have been advocated in pediatrics to avoid the aforementioned complications such as PEricapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block, Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB), and Fascia Transversalis Plane Block (FTPB) The objective of the current study is to assess the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided FTPB versus ultrasound-guided PENG block in pediatric patients undergoing open hip surgery for DDH

Surgical procedure including hip joint surgery is extremely painful and associated with considerable postoperative pain in children despite the use of systemic opioids. Caudal block is a common method used for perioperative pain relief in pediatric lower limb surgeries but carries some complications. Some novel techniques of regional anesthesia were explored including the quadratus lumborum block (QLB), lumbar plexus block, and recently Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. The objective of the current trial is primarily to assess the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided trans-muscular QLB versus ultrasound-guided PENG block in pediatric patients undergoing open hip surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)

There is an increasing trend on decreasing narcotic use and maximizing efficiency in the perioperative care. There are no studies that have compared a TAP block versus a TAP block plus gabapentin for laparoscopic procures.This study will investigate if taking gabapentin and receiving a TAP block decrease post-operative morphine consumption. It will be a randomized controlled, double blind study, with 130 patients between 18-60 years; that will undergo laparoscopic GYN procedures. Secondary outcomes will look at the incidence of nausea, vomiting, and VAS (verbal analog scale) scores. This combination may be helpful because gabapentin will be used to decrease visceral and central pain, and TAP block will decrease somatic pain. Performing a multimodal approach may decrease narcotic consumption, adverse effects and improve pain management.

Introduction. Despite the advantages associated with the use of remifentanil during total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), it has been observed a frequent difficulty in the control of postoperative pain due to the risk of developing hyperalgesia and acute tolerance associated with the administration of this opioid. There is evidence that NMDA receptors are involved in the development of these changes. Methadone is an opioid that exhibits analgesic potency similar to that of morphine but has NMDA antagonist activity and longer duration of action as additional features. The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality of recovery (QoR40) of patients undergoing TIVA for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and who received morphine or methadone to control postoperative pain. Methods. Patients aged 18 to 65 years, physical status ASA I and II, submitted to total venous anesthesia (propofol and remifentanil) for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and eligible to participate in this prospective and randomized clinical study will be evaluated. After induction of anesthesia, patients will receive a solution containing 0.1 mg.kg-1 morphine (MF group) or 0.1 mg.kg-1 methadone (MT group). Data on the presence of pain, nausea, vomiting, tremor, drowsiness, presence of SpO2 <92%, even with O2 face mask (5 L.min-1) and length of stay will be recorded at PACU. The pain will be evaluated every 15 minutes on a verbal numerical scale (ENV) from 0 to 10. E.v. morphine 0.1 mg.kg-1 (MF group) or methadone 0.1 mg.kg-1 (MT group) will be administered every 15 minutes to obtain the score below 3. After discharge from the PACU, all patients will receive intravenous ketoprofen every 12 hours and dipyrone every 6 hours. For cases where the patient considers the analgesic regimen insufficient, tramadol (100 mg) will be administered intravenously at 8-hour intervals. The consumption of analgesics, the intensity of pain, the occurrence of nausea, vomiting and other complications in the ward will be recorded. The application of the questionnaire (QoR40) will be performed in the ward the morning after the surgery by a medical student.
