Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The purpose of this study is to confirm that the two forms of the device the Integrated E-TRANS (fentanyl HCl) system and the Separated (Two-Part) E-TRANS (fentanyl HCl) System provide the equivalent blood levels of medication (fentanyl HCL).

To the investigators' knowledge, no study has looked at differences in postoperative pain when comparing maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, and propofol in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The investigators' hypothesis is that total intravenous anesthesia with propofol will lead to less postoperative pain in the first 24 hours after laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane or sevoflurane. PURPOSE To find out if maintenance of anesthesia with propofol leads to less postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane, or sevoflurane.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an oral medication called gabapentin in reducing pain after Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) eye surgery and to assess the frequency of use of rescue medication interventions, defined as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) eye drops and oral narcotic medication.

This research study is to determine if the insertion site of a perineural catheter or tiny tube placed next to the nerves that go to the part of the body (hand or arm) having surgery, affects the amount of pain relief that is experienced after surgery. Catheters will be placed in either the supraclavicular or infraclavicular location.

Primary Hypothesis: 1. The analgesic effect of etoricoxib 120 mg administered 1 hour preoperatively is greater than that of placebo in the treatment of postoperative pain.

The objective of this study is to assess pain that occurs following hernia repair that is related to mesh fixation. The study is designed to see if there is any difference in pain after surgery between absorbable and permanent methods of mesh fixation in inguinal and ventral hernia repair.

Thoracotomy for lung tumor or for minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery, may be associated with debilitating pain. Ketamine was shown to enhance opioid antinociception and prevent opioid resistance. We hypothesize that ketamine given with morphine would lower morphine consumption and narcotic related side effects after thoracotomy and provide superior analgesia to morphine given alone.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the CollaRx Bupivacaine implant is safe and effective in reducing the amount of narcotic pain medication needed to control pain during the first 24 hours after abdominal hysterectomy surgery.

Uterine contraction pain is a common problem after abortion. Optimal analgesic for such suffering is still needed to be guaranteed. Flurbiprofen Axetil is a target-distributable non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) functioning via block the synthesis of prostaglandin E (PGE). The investigators hypothesized that Flurbiprofen Axetil could suppress the uterine contraction pain after abortion effectively.

This is an open-label, multiple-dose, safety study of DIC075V in patients with acute post-operative pain following abdominal or orthopedic surgery.
