Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

This is a randomized, single blinded, placebo-controlled trial to study the effectiveness of a subanesthetic dose (0.6mg/kg) of ketamine versus placebo (saline) on postoperative pain on adult women undergoing mastectomy. The objective of the study is to examine the effect of a subanesthetic dose (0.6mg/kg) of ketamine vs. saline control on postoperative pain in subjects who have undergone mastectomy.

The sternotomy site is the most painful area after cardiac surgery. Erector spinae plane block is effective in thoracic and abdominal surgery, but literature is lacking in cardiac surgery. The bilateral erector spinae plane block could reduce pain at rest and during mobilization, reduce opioids consumption, decrease postoperative complications, improve respiratory outcomes and improve patient comfort and satisfaction. The research hypothesis is that a single shot bilateral erector spinae plane block could reduce pain during mobilization during the first 48 hours after cardiac surgery performed with sternotomy

The aim of the study is to test the effectiveness and safety of the use of lidocaine infusion in multimodal analgesic management. A group of patients undergoing vascular surgery performed with the classic technique on the aorta - with the opening of the abdominal cavity will be enrolled. The population of patients qualified for this type of vascular surgery is usually burdened with multiple diseases, mainly risk factors or cardiovascular diseases, which, combined with hemodynamic fluctuations, large fluid shifts (including bleeding) and stress for the body, affects the risk of serious cardiological complications, which in this group exceeds 5% and is the highest, according to the ESC / ESA (European Society of Cardiology / European Society of Anesthesiology) classification from 2014. Proper postoperative pain control is therefore becoming one of the key pillars of postoperative care in this group of patients. Due to the numerous disease burden of patients and the operational specifics, the use of multimodal therapy in the management of pain is of particular importance, as the use of high doses of opioids improves hemodynamic stability, but at the same time affects the occurrence of side effects - mainly excessive sedation, respiratory disorders, hypoventilation and, consequently, for hypoxia of the heart muscle. The risk of myocardial injury in non-cardiac surgery (MINS) is significant in the light of the available literature. Lidocaine used in intravenous infusion is one of the recommended components of multidirectional analgesia. Its adjuvant properties make it possible to reduce the amount of opioid drugs used, and thus - to reduce the frequency of their side effects. The high effectiveness of such a procedure has been proven in numerous experimental and epidemiological studies. Due to the low frequency of side effects associated with its use, the therapy has a strong recommendation for use in relieving perioperative pain. The analysis of the literature on the subject shows that there is little data assessing effectiveness of lidocaine infusion in relation to the group of patients after surgery on the abdominal aorta.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of pregabalin in reducing the neuropathic pain in postoperative patients who have undergone single level Microdiscectomy for prolapsed intervetebral lumbar disc.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ketamine and lidocaine on postoperative opioid consumption in posterior spinal fusion surgery. Materials and Methods: Ethics committee approval was received from our faculty. Seventy-five cases between the ages of 18-65, who have an ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) risk classification I-II-III in the preanesthetic evaluation, planned to be operated by the Neurosurgery clinic for lumbar posterior spinal fusion surgery under elective conditions have been included in the study after the informed volunteer consent form was read and approved. The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups using the closed envelope method. The ketamine group (Group K) (n = 25), the lidocaine group (Group L) (n = 25) and the placebo group (Group P) (n = 25). Propofol, rocuronium and fentanyl i.v. done. In group K, 0.5 mg / kg i.v. ketamine bolus and 0.25 mg / kg / hr i.v. ketamine infusion was administered. In group L, 1.5 mg / kg i.v. lidocaine bolus and 1.5 mg / kg / hr i.v. lidocaine infusion was administered. In group P, i.v. saline (in the same volume and duration) was applied. Maintenance of anesthesia was provided by propofol and remifentanil infusion. The propofol and remifentanil doses were adjusted according to the BIS monitoring and the increase or decrease in basal blood pressure and heart rate values of 20% or more. The BIS value was kept between 40-60. At the end of surgery, infusions were closed. After extubation, the patients were taken to the recovery room. Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) prepared with fentanyl was applied to the patients for postoperative analgesia. The PCA device was attached for 24 hours postoperatively. Postoperative 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours, 8-24 hours and total fentanyl consumption of the patients were evaluated. Pain scores were measured at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours in the postoperative recovery room. Intraoperative propofol and remifentanil consumption was recorded. Tramadol 1 mg / kg i.v. as rescue analgesia (in patients with VAS pain score of 4 and above) done. Possible side effects due to opioid, ketamine and lidocaine were followed.

The aim of this randomised controlled and double-blind study, is to compare the effects of erector spinae plane (ESP) and thoracic epidural (TEA) blocks on peri-operative hemodynamics and analgesia in patients undergoing unilateral mastectomies due to malignancy.

Sleeve gastrectomy is the most performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Postoperative pain management is a challenging issue. In this trial, the investigators aimed to explore the effects of laparoscopic guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on postoperative pain management in patient those were performed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

To evaluate the efficacy of bilateral continuous erector spinae blocks (BESB) for postoperative analgesia in children and adolescents undergoing cardiac surgical procedures via sternotomy in the Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program in a single arm, open label, interventional study.

The study will be designed to investigate the effect of pupillometry guided compared to non-PPI-guided postoperative pain therapy, conducted immediately at the end of surgery before extubation, on total postoperative opioid consumption during the first 2 postoperative hours after elective ear nose throat (ENT) surgery.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of the addition of nefopam to a multimodal analgesic regimen consisting of ketoprofen and paracetamol during sevoflurane- dexmedetomidine-based anesthesia on postoperative morphine requirements in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
