Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

Our study will compare the use of continuous saphenous nerve block performed at the adductor canal in addition to Local Infiltration Analgesia (LIA) versus a Sham block in addition to LIA for total knee replacement. The investigators hypothesize that the saphenous nerve block performed at the level of the adductor canal in addition to LIA provides better pain relief than the LIA alone without significantly compromising muscle strength and physiotherapy, enabling patients to mobilize early with reduced opioid consumption and les side effects. The investigators will enroll a total of 40 patients (20 patients will receive continuous saphenous nerve block in addition to LIA and 20 will receive the sham block and LIA). Until discharge, the investigators will record patients' pain scores, opioid consumption, side effects and physical therapy progress. If our study proves that the continuous saphenous nerve block in addition to LIA can effectively reduce postoperative pain scores to an acceptable level with better physical therapy progress and less opioid consumption, it could be seen as a more attractive alternative to LIA alone or other traditionally used methods of postoperative pain control that compromises muscle strength and physiotherapy.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if CR845 is effective in treating the pain associated with a laparoscopic hysterectomy.

The 3-midline-ports technique is a safety approach and associates lower postoperative pain, when compared with the standard "French" technique.

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate if multiple postoperative administrations with a solution of ropivacaine, ketorolac and epinephrine into the operating field through a catheter would affect morphine consumption. Secondary end-points are pain intensity, side effects and length of stay.

The objectives of this proof of concept study are to evaluate the safety and preventive analgesic efficacy of a single preoperative intrathecal administration of AYX1 Injection in patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty.

When used in conjunction with a local anesthetic, dexamethasone may prolong both the sensory and motor effects of high supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve block (SBP) in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. This study seeks to determine if there is a relationship between the duration of sensory and motor blockade in supraclavicular brachial plexus nerve blocks (SBP) when combined with increasing doses of dexamethasone.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System/15 mcg to the Placebo Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System for the management of acute moderate to severe post-operative pain after total unilateral knee or total unilateral hip replacement surgery.

Pelvic organ prolapse is an herniation process, needing a mesh reconstruction for long lasting therapeutic effect. Yet, mesh implants were reported to be related to severe adverse effects. This study looks at the potential benefit of mesh size reduction regarding avoiding operative complications.

The efficacy and safety of oxycodone capsules compared with morphine tablets in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe pain following surgery.

Infiltration of a local anesthetic into the surgical wound is a simple method to strive to control postoperative pain after surgery. In the investigators institution, this method is used quite often. However, there is a controversy regarding the analgesic efficacy. Moreover, the cost of the single use elastomeric pump used with this procedure is clearly higher than the costs of other routinely used analgesic methods. According to the investigators observations, infiltration of a local anesthetic into the surgical wound after caesarean section seems to reduce the need for rescue analgesics. However, the scientific evidence of the efficacy of this technique is weak. The investigators decided to conduct a prospective, controlled, randomised, double blind trial on this topic. The hypothesis is that wound infiltration with local anesthetic will reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption after caesarean section without major adverse effects.
