Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

This study evaluates the comparison between liposomal bupivacaine versus bupivacaine HCl in Transversus Abdominis Plane blocks for gynecologic surgery on the length of stay in the hospital, total narcotic use, and overall complications rates.

Randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to compare the post-operative pain control advantages of post-incisional wound infiltration with liposomal bupivacaine to plain bupivacaine in patients presenting for elective caesarean delivery.

Using random case assignment to investigate the analgesic and sedative effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine and dexmedetomidine as a local anesthetic adjuvant in ultrasound-guided subcostal TAP block in gastric cancer patient undergoing gastrectomy or partial gastrectomy.

In dentistry, one of the most common surgical procedures is the removal of included third molars. This surgery generates great morbidity to patients for causing pain, edema and trismus due to surgical trauma. The use of photobiomodulation (PBM) (low-power laser or light emitting diode - LED) in the postoperative of these procedures has shown excellent results in the control of postoperative sequelae. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PBM with LED in the control of pain, facial edema, trismus and quality of life resulting from the extraction of retained lower third molars. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 34 adult patients, who search the Discipline of Buccomaxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology (CTBMF) II of FO-UFRGS for the removal of included lower third molars will be conducted. Before and after the surgeries, the facial and mouth opening measurements of all patients will be done. Immediately after the surgeries, the patients will be randomized by means of envelopes in two groups. In the LED group the patients will receive daily LED applications (intra oral with 660nm and extra oral with 850nm) from the immediate postoperative to 7 days after the surgical procedure. In the control group the patients will be treated in the same way as in the LED group, however, the person in charge of the application will simulate intraoral and extraoral irradiation with the LED kept off. Pain (EVA and NRS-101), postoperative edema, trismus, temperature, dysphagia and hematomas, as well as the impact of the surgical procedure on patients' quality of life will be evaluated after 1, 2, 5 and 7 days. For the analysis of the oral health impact profile (OHIP-14 Questionnaire) and anxiety analysis (Beck anxiety inventory -BAI) the questionnaires will be applied preoperatively and 7 days after treatment. Initial descriptive analyzes will be performed considering all variables measured in the study, both quantitative (mean and standard deviation) and qualitative (frequencies and percentages). Later, the appropriate statistical tests will be applied for each specific analysis. In all tests, the significance level of 5% probability or the corresponding p-value will be adopted. All analyzes will be performed using the statistical software SAS for Windows, version 9.1.3.

To evaluate the use of maternal opiates for pain control post cesarean delivery in those patients that received intravenous acetaminophen 1000 mg in 150 mL of normal saline, infused 30 minutes prior to incision compared to placebo. A comparison of post delivery length of stay in both study groups will be evaluated for cost effectiveness of the use of acetaminophen. a secondary purpose is to determine the levels of neonatal acetaminophen in cord blood at the time of delivery, since this has never been studied.

Post-endodontic pain (PP) still is major problem for endodontic patients, analgesics are routinely prescribed. Incidence of PP is reported extensively, and reviewed. PP is a complicated multi factorial process and is affected by factors related to patients, to the tooth and to the skills and experience of the dentist and because of that, if the interrelation of these factors is not considered in a PP, study data might be confusing. Any study trying to evaluate the effect of a specific technique or new device in the incidence or characteristics of PP should control all the confounding factors that have been described to be involved in the tested outcome. reports mention a variable prevalence of PP, ranging from 82.9 to 10.6%. These variations are because of the differences in study methods, and treatment procedures after root canal treatment, selection of patients or experience and skills of the dentists, vary when different studies are compared. Many studies had confirmed that chemomechanical debridement of the root canal results in extrusion of dentinal chips, pulp tissue fragments, necrotic tissues, microorganisms, and root canal irrigants through the apical foramen. All preparation techniques and instruments, regardless of maintaining shorter working length of the apical terminus have reported to be related with extrusion of infected debris, and some of them extruded less material and others extruded more. Periapical inflammation and postoperative flare-ups may result from apical extrusion of debris that is also referred to as the "worm" of necrotic debris A common outcome of the studies examining the amount of apically extruded debris was that the techniques involving a push-pull filing motion usually produce a greater mass of apical debris than those have rotational action Files which has reciprocating and in-and-out filing motion, may act as a piston, extruding more debris and irrigants. While the file with continuous rotation motion like a screw conveyor improving transportation of dentinal chips and debris coronally. In this study, investigators compare post-endodontic pain between these two systems. Mtwo ( continuous rotation system) with safe-sider (reciprocating system). Therefore, the aim of this study is Evaluation of post-endodontic pain after root canal treatment with two rotary systems: Mtwo & safe-sider

After total knee prosthesis surgery, in the first postopertive days, serious pain complaints occur in the patients and this causes many problems, especially mobility limitation. For this reason, a strong analgesic is needed. As a part of multimodal analgesia after total knee surgery, nerve blocks are frequently preferred. While central nerve blocks are preferred in the forefront, peripheral nerve blocks are frequently preferred due to complications related to central nerve blocks. Femoral nerve block and adductor channel block are the preferred peripheral blocks for total knee prosthesis. Since early mobilization after total hip prosthesis is very important, it is aimed to provide sufficient analgesia by making less motor block. Previous studies have shown that adductor channel block provides similar analgesia with femoral nerve block. Early mobilization, early discharge and the impact on the risk of falls are not yet clear, although it is estimated to be in the positive direction. Again, previous studies have compared single doses and infusion doses but no repeated bolus doses. Repeated bolus doses have been shown to be more effective in studies in which adductor channel catheters have been introduced to date to compare infusion and recurrent bolus doses. investigators aimed to compare the effects of repeated bolus doses with femoral nerve catheter and adductor channel catheter on postoperative pain and muscle strength in patients undergoing total knee replasment under spinal anesthesia in this study.

The project is a study comparing the effectiveness of two topical anesthetics for control of pain associated with dental needle insertion in the palatal mucosa. A standard dental topical anesthetic (20% benzocaine) will serve as an "active" control and will be compared to a combination topical anesthetic, consisting of 20% lidocaine, 4% tetracaine and 2% phenylephrine (TAC Alternate Gel, Compounding Arts Pharmacy, Lafayette, LA).

A simple preoperative evaluation assessing level of anxiety, anticipated pain, and intensity rating of audio tone will predict the severity of postoperative pain after surgery.
