Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

Laparoscopic appendectomy causes postoperative pain. The primary objective of this prospective randomized controlled study is to compare the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) on 24-hour cumulative opioid requirements with transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of continuous pectoral nerve block on postoperative analgesia consumption in breast cancer surgery.

This study looks at addition of medications to the local anesthetic for the nerve blockade.

The purpose of the study is to establish a dose-response relationship among several capsule strengths of Hydrocodone Bitartrate Extended Release (HC-ER) and to compare the efficacy to placebo following bunionectomy surgery

Effective pain relief after cardiac surgery has assumed importance with the introduction of fast track discharge protocols that requires early weaning from mechanical ventilation. Inadequate pain control reduces the capacity to cough, mobility, increases the frequency of atelectasis, and prolongs recovery. Infiltration of local anesthetics near the surgical wound has shown to improve early postoperative pain in various surgical procedures. Magnesium is the fourth most plentiful cation in our body. It has antinociceptive effects in animal and human models of pain.

In this trial we compare the effect of 2 closure techniques of the rectus sheath during cesarean sections on postoperative pain. One closure technique is double lock technique and the other is the conventional continuous non-locking technique.

The Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Block is an ultrasound-guided technique described by Rafael Blanco in 2007. The nerves to the lower abdominal wall can be anesthetized by injecting local anesthetics close to the anterior border of the quadratus lumborum muscle. In our randomized, controlled, double-blinded study ultrasound-guided QL-blocks in 20 female patients after cesarean delivery will be compared with a placebo control group of 20 patients to investigate analgesic consumption, pain level, opioid related side effects and mobilization.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new medical technology can help reduce post-operative pain. The new technology is called Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation.

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of acute arterial hypertension maintained during surgery on morphine's requirements in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy

This randomized trial evaluates an intervention to minimize use of opioids following total hip and total knee replacement. Half the participants will receive an intervention (mailed educational materials, followed by a pharmacist call), and half will receive usual care.
