Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The aim of this study is to assess the postoperative pain and the intake of analgesic medication after using Reciproc single-file reciprocating system or One Shape single-file continuous rotary system in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Patients will be diagnosed to determine whether they are eligible for the inclusion criteria of this study or not. Patients who are eligible will then start their root canal treatment on the same visit and to be completed in one visit only. Patients will be phone called in order to record the intensity of pain, amount and frequency of analgesic intake at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment.

This will be a comparative study between two cohorts of patients undergoing Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass. One cohort (75 patients) will receive FDA approved Exparel® (liposome bupivacaine injection solution) injections intra-operatively at time of incision site closure. The control cohort (75 patients) will receive 0.25% bupivacaine injection solution at the time of incision site closure. The medication for the control group is our current standard of care. The primary end point is post-operative pain at 24 and 48 hours measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Comparison will be made between cohorts. All subjects enrolled in the study will be evaluated per nursing protocol with the verbal numerical analog scale. At 24 and 48 hours a member of the research team will administer a 2-part questionnaire containing the VAS and the Revised American Pain Society Post-Operative Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R). The latter is validated for assessment of the patient's experience of pain and it hindrance to daily activity in the post operative period.

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) as well as Direct Lateral Interbody Fusion (DLIF) are established techniques for lumbar interbody fusion. In contrast with posterior approaches, they allow free approach to the anterior disc space without opening of the spinal canal or the neural foramina. However, the additional anterior approach conveys specific concerns, including abdominal pain that may delay recovery after surgery. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a validated approach for postoperative pain relief following abdominal surgeries. There is currently no evidence of the possible benefits of TAP block as part of multimodal pain management after ALIF/DLIF surgery. The investigator hypothesize that a single-injection TAP block reduces opioid consumption after anterior lumbar fusion surgery. The main goal of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to demonstrate a >35% reduction in opioid consumption during the 24h following ALIF/DLIF surgery.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a better method of administering pain medication prior to minimally invasive gynecological surgery so that postoperative pain and/or narcotic usage may be minimized. Currently, no standard of care exists regarding the use of local pain medications in minimally invasive gynecological surgery and practices vary widely among physicians, even within the same institution. The two methods of preemptive pain medication that this study will be looking at is the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and the local injection of pain medication at the areas of the skin incisions. TAP block is a procedure performed by a specially trained pain management anesthesiologist in which there is an injection of a local pain medication into the abdominal wall, specifically in a space where the nerves that are responsible for postoperative pain reside. This procedure blocks the ability of the nerves to sense pain and has been found to be successful in decreasing postoperative pain in a number of procedures. The local injection of pain medications at the incision sites has also been found to be beneficial in decreasing postoperative pain. However, it is not known whether one method is superior to the other in decreasing postoperative pain or if the combination of both is best. Patients that chose to participate are randomly (by chance) assigned to one of three groups: 1) TAP block with pain medication and local injection of normal saline (water) at the incision sites 2) TAP block with normal saline and local injection of pain medication at the incision sites or 3) TAP block with pain medication and local injection of pain medication at the port sites. These procedures are performed while the patient is asleep. Patients will be asked to record their level of pain on a standardized pain scale at one hour, six hours, and twenty-four hours after the surgery. All patients are provided with standard postoperative pain medications as needed. The hypothesis is that patients receiving both TAP block and local injection of pain medication at the port sites will have less pain postoperatively and require a smaller amount of narcotics than those that receive either the TAP block or local injection of pain medication alone.

The patients will be included the 1. or 2. day after surgery. All THA patients will be screened. Those reporting VAS > 40 during active 30 degrees hip flexion will be asked to participate. Included patients will receive 2xNCFL (singleshot) first placebo (8 ml saline) and then ropivacaine (8 ml ropivacaine 7,5mg/ml) or the other way around (randomized). There will be 45 minutes between the two blockades. The blockades will be ultrasound guided.

Postpartum patients delivered by cesarean section will be randomized to NSAIDS Vs NSAIDS plus opioid

American Society of Anaesthesiologist physical status I-II, aged between 18-65, 40 patients which underwent lumbar spinal surgery will recruited to this study. These subjects will Ultrasound (USG) guided erector spinae block will perform at T10 level (bilaterally) to the all patient under general anaesthesia. 15 ml bupivacaine %0.5 and 5 ml lidocaine %2 will use for USG guided ESP block. 0.1 microgram/kg morphine will apply intravenously and diclofenac Na 75 mg intramuscularly will apply at last 30 minutes of surgery postoperative analgesia to all patients. Postoperative pain assessment will perform with visual analog scale (VAS)

The study evaluates postoperative pain, intraoperative bleeding and wound healing after second stage implant surgery. Submerged implants were exposed with diode laser in Group 1 (n=20) and by using Er,Cr:YSGG laser in Group 2 (n=20).

A comparison study was performed between Ligasure and Milligan morgan hemorrhoidectomy to find out the outcome between these two techniques in 3rd and 4th degree hemorrhoids.This advance vessel sealing device is used to seal the pedicle of the vessel and does not burn the surrounding tissues , so the outcome was monitored in terms of operative time, post operative pain pain, duration of wound healing in 3 weeks and return to normal activities

This will be a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled cross-sectional study comparing interscalene brachial plexus block with liposomal bupivacaine versus bupivacaine with epinephrine and PF dexamethasone in patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty. Primary endpoint will be total opioid consumption in the first three post-operative days.
