Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design study evaluating a single dose of one of three CA-008 dose levels vs. placebo injected during an elective bunionectomy Bunionectomy to assess post-surgical pain management and the need for rescue medication (oxycodone).

This study aimed to evaluate the additive effect of acetaminophen on postoperative pain control in patients receiving nefopam and fentanyl-based patient-controlled analgesia. Participants undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy will be randomly assigned to treatment group or control group. After end of surgery, acetaminophen or normal saline (placebo) will be administered intravenously depending on the group assigned.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare ibuprofen versus an ibuprofen/acetaminophen combination for postoperative pain control in patients requiring root canal treatment with a tooth that is painful to cold and biting. Methodology: Following regular root canal treatment, patients randomly received identical appearing tablets of 600 mg ibuprofen or 600 mg ibuprofen/650 mg acetaminophen to be taken every 6 hours as needed for pain. A 4-day diary was used to record pain and medication use.

Vitamin D is a hormone mainly synthesized in the skin in the presence of sunlight. Like other hormones, vitamin D plays a role in a wide range of processes in the body. Some studies have shown vitamin D has anti-inflammatory effects in the body by reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppressing T-cell responses. Therefore, vitamin D may be effective on reduce pain by such mechanisms. In this trial patients with brain tumor under craniotomy will receive a single high dose vitamin D compared to the control group.

This study is a clinical trial, prospective, randomized and double-blinded. Placebo, Gabapentin syrup at 15 mg/kg, and Gabapentin syrup at 30 mg/kg were administered to reduce agitation before and after in children submitted procedures (myelogram or lumbar puncture) among 1 and 6 years.

Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS) of the auricle for acute pain management post cardiac surgery

This is a clinical study that will investigate the occurrence of post-operative discomfort following the use of the Gentlewave System for root canal disinfection and irrigation. Assessment of discomfort level will be via a visualized analog pain scale.

The investigators plan to evaluate the analgesic effect of systemic Lidocaine in addition to general anesthesia during bariatric surgery. Patients will be subdivided into a "Lidocaine group" and a "Control group". The primary outcome will be the proportion of patients suffering from higher pain intensity within the first four hours after bariatric surgery. Secondary outcomes include the average maximal pain intensity during first four hours and during 48 hours, total opiate consumption, occurence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, time to first defecation and total time spent in hospital.

A prospective, single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the impact of immediate post-operative placement of a Belladonna and Opium (B&O) rectal suppository on postoperative pain and nausea following laparoscopic and robot-assisted hysterectomy.

The Inova Heart and Vascular Institute (IHVI) perform over 300 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries per year. While opioid medications are the institutional standard of care for post-operative pain therapy little is known about the variation in pain scores, incidence of post- operative complications, and cost of hospitalization when an alternative multimodal pain regimen consisting of oral Gabapentin and intravenous Acetaminophen (IV APAP) is utilized. The objective is to determine whether there is a substantial difference in pain scores, incidence of post-operative complications, and costs associated with hospitalization when a non-opioid multimodal pain regimen is utilized A single- center, open label, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial comprised of 20 total patients who have undergone isolated CABG at the IHVI will be conducted. Separate cohorts will include patients receiving opioid medications post-operatively (Group 1) and patients receiving the non-opioid regimen of oral Gabapentin and IV APAP (Group 2) to be followed for 72 hours post CABG surgery. Main outcome measures include pain scores in both study groups, requests for breakthrough pain medication in both groups, gastrointestinal and respiratory complications of ileus and reduction in tidal volumes or forced vital capacity (FVC) at baseline and at 72 hours,increase in serum AST/ALT, and comparison of cost of hospitalization between groups. The objective of this pilot study is to provide evidence that multimodal pain therapy utilizing IV APAP and PO Gabapentin will provide more effective pain relief than standard of care opioids as evidenced by pain scores <2. And the reduced consumption of opioids will lead to a reduction in ileus, no increase in AST/ALT, post-operative tidal volumes as assessed by incentive spirometry comparable to pre- surgical values, while also showing a positive effect on the cost of hospitalization.
