Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The randomized controlled experimental study was conducted in the cardiovascular surgery clinic of Atatürk University Health Practice and Research Center between April 2021 and September 2021.The research sample consisted of 91 patients who met the research criteria. Since exclusion criteria were met in 15 patients during the research process, the study was completed with 76 patients. Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Scale, Visual Analog Sleep Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used as data collection tools. All scales were applied to the patients preoperatively. According to the Postoperative Visual Analog Scale, the patients in the experimental group who stated that they had more than 4 pains were given foot massage for a total of 20 minutes, 10 minutes on each foot. After the surgery, classical foot massage was applied to the patients for 3 consecutive days, including the day they came to the service from the intensive care unit. One day after each application, the patients' pain, sleep quality and mood levels were examined. Data were collected by applying the same procedure steps without foot massage to the patients in the control group.

Postoperative pain is a condition that increases morbidity and mortality. Therefore, multimodal analgesia techniques with fascial plan blocks are frequently used.TAP block provides analgesia in the anterior abdominal wall by applying local anesthetic to the fascia between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle. Opioids can be added to local anesthetics to increase the quality and duration of analgesia. The investigators aim is comparasion of TAP block with bupivacaine added morphine and TAP block with bupivacaine plus intramuscular morphine effects on postoperative pain score, total opioid consumption and systemic effects in lower abdominal surgery

The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of adding dexmedetomidine versus dexamethasone to levobupivacaine in ultrasound guided ESPB for patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy

The aim of the study is to determine whether the traditional intravenous analgesia technique or the ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group block or the unilateral erector spina plane block technique is superior in postoperative analgesia management in the hip operation procedure that requires preoperative and postoperative severe analgesia. In this way, by preventing the health problems that may occur due to the pain of the patients after the operation; to provide benefits for the early mobilization of patients, shortening the hospital stay, reducing the cost and increasing patient satisfaction.

In study, The investigators aimed to compare the intraoperative and postoperative analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block and rectus sheath block, which investigators routinely perform in surgeries with abdominal lover midline-upper midline incision, morphine consumption with patient-controlled analgesia, as well as patient and surgeon satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Ketorolac versus Paracetamol as an adjunct to Nalbuphine in the management of post-operative pain following elective cardiac surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized (single-blind) control trial. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Computer generated, randomized selection of patients with 50% probability of assignment into either group. PLACE AND STUDY DURATION: (single center) SICU at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Hospital, Karachi over a period of six months, from January 1, 2021 up to June 30, 2021. METHODS: Sixty patients (30 in each group) were randomly assigned to receive either Paracetamol (control) or Ketorolac (treatment), along with the usual Nalbuphine infusion, over the first 48 hours postoperatively. The control group received injection Paracetamol 1gm six hourly, whereas treatment group received injection Ketorolac 30mg eight hourly. PRIMARY OUTCOME: The VAS (pain score) was evaluated at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-extubation and a score of 4 or less was taken as a cut-off for adequate pain control. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: The time taken to extubation postoperatively. The total dose of Nalbuphine administered to each patient and total chest tube drainage recorded over 48 hours postoperatively.

In this prospective trial, Stage 1-3 patients having mastectomies or isolated lumpectomy with axillary node dissection will be randomly assigned to general anesthesia with opioids combined with a Pecs II block or to general anesthesia with opioids combined with a placebo Pecs II block. Participants will be followed postoperatively during their entire hospital stay to determine the effectiveness of Pecs II block and opioids versus placebo Pecs II block and opioids as postoperative pain treatment.

Postoperative pain is severe after major spine surgery. Opioids such as morphine and hydromorphone are routinely used for postoperative pain control. These drugs have significant side effects, most importantly respiratory depression, nausea, constipation and tolerance. Moreover, many spine surgery patients have used opioid pain medication for back pain long term, leading to pre-surgical opioid tolerance and increased postoperative pain. This has led to a search for adjuvant medications to reduce the use of opioids and reduce opioid mediated side effects and tolerance. Ketamine is an intravenous anesthetic with analgesic properties in subanesthetic doses. Ketamine is a noncompetitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. NMDA receptors are involved in central pain sensitization via wind-up phenomenon and altered pain memory, a process which can be blocked by ketamine. NMDA receptor antagonists may prevent the development of tolerance to opioids and hyperalgesia. Ketamine has been safely used to decrease pain in numerous studies. Ketamine can also act as an antidepressant with hours of administration. Ketamine has rapid brain uptake and subsequent re-distribution with a distribution half-life of 10-15 minutes and an elimination half-life of 2 hours. Ketamine does not cause respiratory depression.

To examine whether providing patients with a cue to the availability of pain medication affects patient satisfaction, patient anxiety, PCA efficacy, and safety.

TAP block is the administration of local anesthetic agents into the anatomic neurofascial cavity between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle in the antero-lateral region of the abdomen to block the anterior branches of the thoracic intercostal (T7-T12) and first lumbar (L1) nerves. TAP block may be a good method for postoperative pain control. We aim to show the effect of TAP block administration on analgesic consumption after varicocelectomy operations, side effects linked to analgesic use and analgesic quality.
