Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

BACKGROUND Orthopedic surgery can be severely painful, and peripheral regional anesthesia is highly recommended as part of the perioperative pain treatment. Whether catheter-based techniques are better than single injection techniques are debatable. Furthermore, in catheter-based techniques, whether a low-dose automated, periodic infusion can produce similar analgesic effectiveness compared to a conventional, high dose, continuous infusion has never been explored. AIM Comparison of the analgesic effectiveness of a low-dose automated, periodic infusion, a conventional continuous infusion and patient-controlled boluses only in catheter-based nerve blocks for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery to the foot or ankle.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of preoperative dosing of N1539 30 mg in subjects undergoing colorectal surgery, including clinical laboratory tests, wound healing evaluation, incidence of anastomotic leaks, and incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs).

The purpose of this phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an analgesic drug candidate, VVZ-149 Injections. The study is designed as randomized, double-blind, parallel, and placebo-controlled study.

The aim of the investigators of the study is to evaluate the effect of peri-operative duloxetine on post-operative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.

There are difficulties in the progress of the study and cancel the plan. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the postoperative pain control using non - opioidal analgesics in children. The investigators will investigate the effect of single use and combination of caldorol(ibuprofen) compare to denogan(propacetamol) in children. Participants who receive the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between 6 months and 6 years old are divided 3 groups(caldolor, denogan, combination). Each groups are received a medication by protocol during surgery. After operation patient's pain score and use of additional analgesics are recorded in postanesthesia care unit and general ward.

Effective post-surgical pain management is a crucial component of a patient's postoperative course following posterior colporrhaphy. Narcotics are the cornerstone for postoperative analgesia with a frequent re-dosing requirement, a lengthy list of side effects and adverse reaction risks. The colorectal, orthopedic and general surgery literatures have reported on an extended-release bupivacaine liposomal injection, Exparel®, which remarkably reduces acute post-operative pain; however, literature regarding this medication specific to Urogynecology and Gynecology is limited. The investigators propose a prospective, randomized, double blind, trial with 120 subjects recruited from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) Urogynecology Clinic to study postsurgical pain control after posterior repair. There will be two arms in the study; one arm with bupivacaine alone and a second arm with bupivacaine mixed with Exparel®(extended-release, liposomal bupivacaine) injected vaginally in patients undergoing posterior colporrhaphy. Subjects will be randomized to receive either 20 milliliter (mL) of plain bupivacaine or 20mL (10ml+10ml) mixture of bupivacaine plus Exparel®. The primary objective of the trial will be to evaluate the postsurgical vaginal pain using a visual analog pain scale at days 1, 2, 3 post-procedure. All subjects will have acetaminophen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and narcotic pain medication available for pain control regardless of assignment, which is the usual postoperative pain control regimen. The investigators hypothesize a 30% difference in post-operative pain measurements between the two groups. Additional objectives of this study are to evaluate total medication usage on days 1, 2 and 3 and any post-operative voiding and defecatory dysfunction, comparing the two groups

This study will define the postoperative analgesic effect of ESP block via amount of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and postoperative analgesic consumption (such as routinely and rescue analgesics) and compare the control group in patients having laparoscopic Cholecystectomy .

Erector Spinae Plane Block is a newly defined regional anesthesia technique. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that erector spinae plane block could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the investigators have implemented application of this blockade into practice at the clinic. Main purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided erector spinae block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Airseal® is an insufflation management system for laparoscopic surgery which provides stable pneumoperitoneum, continuous smoke evacuation and valve-free access to the abdominal cavity. It allows an optimal exposure with a low-pression pneumoperitoneum, which is rarely possible with our standard insufflation system under a pneumoperitoneum of 12 millimetres of mercury(mmHg). The objective of this study is to compare the use of Airseal® system with a low pression pneumoperitoneum and our standard insufflation system usually used in our center in term of postoperative abdominal pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign disease. This superiority prospective randomized trial is designed to include all patients > 18 years old referred for laparoscopic total hysterectomy for benign disease (with or without uni or bilateral annexectomy). Each patient would be randomized to one of this two following groups : " Airseal® " group : use of AIRSEAL® to obtain stable low pression laparoscopy with a 8 to 10 mmHg pneumoperitoneum. " Standard laparoscopy " group : laparoscopy realised with our usual insufflation system and a 12 to 15 mmHg pneumoperitoneum. The primary end point is mean intensity of abdominal pain six hours after the end of surgery (H6), measured by simple numerical scale (ENS). The secondary end points are: peroperative endpoints : operative time, blood loss, use of additional ways of increasing exposure, peroperative complications, conversion to laparotomy, feeling of the surgeon regarding the difficulty of the surgery (measured by a simple numerical scale) early postoperative endpoints : intensity of abdominal pain at the entry in recovery room (H0), at twelve hours after the end of surgery (H12), twenty four hours (H24) and forty eight hours (H48) ; intensity of scapular pain at the same times (H0, H6, H12, H24 and H48), need for analgesic administration (regarding to the standardized analgesic protocol), difference in the hemoglobin level before surgery and the first day after, early postoperative complications, necessity of a second surgery and the reason, length of hospital stay. late postoperative end points : estimated time to return to optimal quality of life, global satisfaction of patients evaluated by the Quality Of Life Questionnaire Short Form 12. It will be estimate that the use of Airseal® will reduce the mean abdominal pain at H6 post operative of 1 point on the simple numerical scale compared to our standard insufflation system, with a standard deviation of 1,5. Type 1 and 2 errors were set to the usual levels of 0,05 and 0,20 respectively (power of 80%). Assuming a 10% withdrawal rate, the sample size would be 80 patients (40 patients in each group).

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate a yoga intervention for individuals who experience persistent pain following oncology surgery. The integrated yoga program will involve postures, breathing exercises, and concentration practices. Data will be collected at several time points (pre-, mid-, and post-intervention) for both the intervention and wait-list control conditions. The data will be analysed using linear mixed effects growth models. Results will be written up in manuscript format, published in a peer review journal, and disseminated at scientific research conferences.
