Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

Acute pain is reported in approximately 80% of patients undergoing postoperative care for various types of surgical procedures in the United States. Another study reported patient postoperative pain intensity with 75% with severe pain in the first 1 to 2 postoperative days and 38% reporting moderate to severe pain at 14 postoperative days. Several modalities have been used as the standard for the management of pain postoperative C-sections. One of the postoperative analgesic modalities for SC is quadratus lumborum block (QLB). This technique has advantages in relieving postoperative pain after C-section because it is considered to be able to relieve visceral pain as well as somatic pain. The transmuscular QLB (QLBT) approach is one of the most frequently used. This technique was found to be effective with regard to the distribution of analgesics to the paravertebral spaces which is the hallmark of QLB. However, this technique was found to be difficult to perform. Difficulties were reported related to the position of the procedure i.e. lateral or sitting position.

This a single-center prospective spread-evaluation study where the primary objective is to assess the spread of local anesthesia in an ESPB using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators will include 10 healthy volunteers from the hospitals internal website. All volunteers will receive a one-sided Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block. 30 min after the block sensitivity to cold and pinprick will be assessed before an MRI is performed after 60 min postblock. An radiology specialist will evaluate the MR images pertaining to the spread of the local anesthesia.

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided selective supraclavicular nerve block on pain control after Hickman catheter, chemoport, or Perm cath insertion in children.

Intracanal medicaments have been frequently used in patients with endodontic and periradicular infection for the elimination of microorganisms. Commonly used includes Double Antibiotic Paste, Triple Antibiotic Paste, and Calcium Hydroxide. This study aims to compare the efficacy in alleviating pain between intracanal medicaments Nitrofurantoin and Calcium Hydroxide Paste. 60 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, each group having 20 patients as following: Group 1: Nitrofurantoin, Group 2: Calcium Hydroxide and Group 3: Control. Preoperative pain was recorded using a numerical pain scale. Pre-operative pain score was initially recorded, followed by Post-operative pain at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Nitrofurantoin has been proven to be an effective intracanal medicament in alleviating immediate post-operative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis as compared to calcium hydroxide.

The study analysed direct levobupivacaine instillation in surgical wound and its effectiveness in postoperative pain control. Half participants received 0,5 % levobupivacaine and the other half received 0,9% saline solution

The purpose of this phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VVZ-149 Injections for the treatment of postoperative pain following laparoscopic colectomy.

Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is an interfacial plane block with visceral and somatic analgesic activity at paraspinal muscles. This study aims to examine the postoperative analgesic efficacy of ESP block after cesarean section (CS) with Pfannenstiel incision under spinal anesthesia.

Injection of intraperitoneal bupivacaine revealed an analgesic effect whether injected alone or in combination with other adjuvants, which increase duration of analgesia and decrease the dose of administered bupivacaine thus minimizing its side effects e.g. Opioids, Corticosteroids and Magnesium sulphate. Neostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor that produces muscarinic receptor-mediated analgesia, increased postoperative analgesia when combined with local anaesthetics. Peripheral afferent nerve fibres contain muscarinic receptors, these could be a good target for pain suppression.

This protocol investigates the effect of a high dose dexamethasone regimen in the treatment of postoperative pain following Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS). The protocol consists of three substudies. Randomized double-blinded clinical trial assigning half of the participants to a high-dose dexamethasone regimen while the other half will receive a low-dose dexamethasone dosage and placebo in the first postoperative period. A investigation of "Why in hospital?" following TORS. From the first postoperative day until discharge reasons for continued hospitalization will be registered in order to identify clinical and organizational factors contributing to hospitalization An assessment of "Days Alive and Out of Hospital" following TORS. From the day of surgery and the first 12 postoperative months all admissions to a hospital ward will be registered along with admission reasons. Any death during the first 12 months will be noted with a cause of death.

The anti-epileptic drugs such as gabapentin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) such as celecoxib were used as a part of multimodal analgesia to control such pain. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant drug that has analgesic effect in post-herpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, and neuropathic pain. Celecoxib is one of the NSAIDs, that its analgesic effect is reported in various studies by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. The aim of this randomized double-blinded study was to asses and compare the efficacy of using gabapentin versus celecoxib as a part of multimodal analgesia in perioperative hemodynamic control and pain relief in patients underwent posterior approach lumbar spine disc fixation surgery.
