Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The purpose of the present study is the clinical assessment of the efficacy of preincisional peritonsillar infiltration of dexmedetomidine on postoperative pain relief in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of a combination product containing ibuprofen 400 mg and caffeine 100 mg versus either ingredient alone as well as placebo for the treatment of post-surgical dental pain over an eight-hour period followed by a single dose of study medication (study stage 1). A secondary objective is to evaluate efficacy of multiple doses of the combination in comparison to ibuprofen alone over a 5-day post-surgical period (study stage 2).

Chlorzoxazone is a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to treat muscle spasm and the resulting pain or discomfort. It acts on the spinal cord by depressing reflexes. Our purpose is to investigate the effect of chlorzoxazone on moderate to severe postoperative pain after spine surgery. Our hypothesis is that chlorzoxazone can reduce postoperative pain and reduce opioidconsumption and side effects compared to placebo.

Patients experience considerable amount of pain after cesarean section. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of tramadol (an opioid pain killer) added to levobupivacaine (a local anesthetic) in continuous wound infusion (which is done by placing a catheter in the incision) after cesarean sections.

The investigators noticed that Body Fat Ratio might have great influence on the efficacy of different lipid soluble anesthetics. The objective of this clinical trial was to compare the effect of that Body Fat Ratio on the efficacy of different lipid soluble anesthetics.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic gall stones. For pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy both intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of lignocaine has been used. But it is not clear from the existing literature which form of administration is more effective for pain relief. Hence this study has been undertaken with the following hypothesis : Intravenous lignocaine is superior to intraperitoneal lignocaine for postoperative pain relief and minimizing the stress response in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Indomethacin [Test] Capsules are safe and effective for the treatment of postoperative bunionectomy pain.

The primary objectives of this study are to analyse the effect of perioperative systemic infusion of lignocaine on postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting and perioperative levels of inflammatory mediators in patients undergoing elective open abdominal surgeries. The secondary parameters which will be observed during the study are the time to passage of flatus and stools postoperatively.

Surgical trauma causes nerve sensitization leading to amplification and prolongation of postoperative pain. In experimental studies, pre-injury neural blockade using local anesthetics has been shown to reduce post-injury sensitization of the central nervous system, while similar techniques applied after the injury had less or no effect (FILOS). Investigators have therefore designed this study to examine the timing of FICB (pre-operatively versus intra-operatively) on postoperative pain in patients undergoing anterior hip replacement surgery.

The typical post-operative course for children following surgical removal of their tonsils and adenoids can be challenging, especially for pain control. First line medications for pain include intravenous and enteral narcotics, acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists but their effects appear to be short-lived. Gabapentin has been shown in adult studies to tone down the body's response to pain and decreases opioid use post-operatively. The purpose of this study is to see if a single preoperative dose will reduce post-operative pain scores and the amount of analgesic used.
