Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

Serratus plane block (SPB) was first described in 2013 by Blanco and designed to primarily block the thoracic intercostal nerves. And this block provides sufficient analgesia lateral anterior and posterior part of thoracic wall.Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is a newly described and effective interfascial plane block for thoracic and abdominal surgery. It was first described by Forero et al. in 2016, effectiveness being reported in four cases. The aim of this study is to compare Serratus plane block and erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection

Propofol is one of the most commonly used intravenous anaesthetic drugs both for induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia. Some of the advantages of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) with propofol include reduced nausea and vomiting, reduced atmospheric pollution, better wake up profile and a more favourable intracranial physiology. However, the need for a reliable intravenous access, specialized pumps, pain on injection and potential concerns regarding awareness are some reasons that preclude more common use. Postoperative dental pain produces an inflammatory pain model. Since propofol has anti-inflammatory effects, it may have significant analgesic effects in patients undergoing dental surgery. To the best of our knowledge, there are no randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of TIVA propofol and inhalational anaesthetic on postoperative dental pain. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of TIVA propofol on postoperative pain scores, analgesic consumption, and adverse effects in patients undergoing dental surgery. This will help determine whether propofol may be a useful analgesic adjunct in dental surgery.

This is a Phase 2B, randomized, assessor-blind, active- and saline placebo-controlled, multicenter study in subjects undergoing augmentation mammoplasty to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of HTX-011 when administered via ultrasound-guided lateral and medial pectoral nerve block before surgery.

Many patients have strong pain at brachial plexus block resolution after operations for distal radius fractures with a volar plate. This study investigates if a single dose of dexamethasone in addition to a standard pain regime have an effect on postoperative pain. The primary endpoint is difference in the highest pain score first 24 hours after surgery. The investigators will also look at pain scores and analgesics consumption first few hours after surgery and at different times up to 2 years after surgery.

Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a novel type of peripheral nerve block that involves innervations of the anterolateral abdominal wall derived from T6-L1.It provides adequate post-operative pain relieve following the various abdominal surgeries. Theoretically, TAP block may replace the need for epidural analgesia after abdominal operations. The oblique subcostal approach of the TAP (OSTAP) block, which was de¬scribed by (Hebbard et al, 2010) , has been reported to provide analgesia to the entire anterior abdomen.

The purpose of this study is to compare two medications currently injected intra-operatively to help decrease pain after surgery in patients undergoing a primary total hip replacement (THR). The two medications are Exparel® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) plus bupivacaine with epinephrine versus bupivacaine with epinephrine. This study is looking to see if one medication works better than the other in managing post-operative pain after THR. The study hypothesis is that Exparel® plus bupivacaine with epinephrine will demonstrate better pain management in THR patients post-operatively. Both medications are FDA-approved for post-operative analgesia.

This phase III, randomized, prospective clinical study, aiming to compare the analgesic effects of celecoxib, parecoxib, and oxycodone in patients with inoperable hepatic carcinoma undergoing TACE procedure in postoperative pain control.

The purpose of this multicenter study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dexmedetomidine combined with sufentanil for patient-controlled analgesia after caesarean section

The effect of perineural dexamethasone administered as an adjuvant in prolonging the duration of analgesia continues to be under debate. The investigators performed a prospective randomized study to evaluate the effect of perineural dexamethasone in different concentrations in postoperative analgesia in femoral nerve block for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
