Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

This is a randomized controlled trial involving 170 opioid naive women ages 19-40 undergoing scheduled C-sections at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Participants are randomized to receive either 10 or 20 tabs of oxycodone 5mg as an initial postoperative prescription in a double-blinded parallel trial design. Outcome metrics related to overall opioid consumption and patient satisfaction with pain management are collected at three different time points post-operative: 2-3 days (in hospital), 10-14 days, and 6 weeks.

American Society of Anaesthesiologist physical status II-III, aged between 2, 12 patients which underwent open cardiac surgery will recruited to this study. These subjects will Ultrasound (USG) guided erector spinae block will perform at T6 level (bilaterally) and pectointercostal plane block at 4-5 intercostal space to the all patient under general anaesthesia. Totally bupivacaine %0.25 2.5 mg/kg will use blocks. 2 ml %0.25 bupivacain will apply to the chest tube area at the end of surgery. 0.1 microgram/kg morphine will apply intravenously at last 30 minutes of surgery postoperative analgesia to all patients. Postoperative pain and agitation assessment will perform with FLACC and Watcha scores

The primary objective of this study is to prospectively determine, at 10 days after orthopedic shoulder or knee surgery, if pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is beneficial in reducing patient-reported post-operative pain, as measured by visual analog scale (VAS). The amount of pain medication taken daily and the physical function outcome scores after surgery and PEMF treatment will also be measured.

Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the basic method of analgesia in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy. TEA is considered to be a safe and thoroughly investigated method of pain relief that rarely causes serious complications. However, blocking the nerves as they emerge from the spinal column (paravertebral block, PVB) may represent an alternative method with some potential benefits. In this study, TEA and PVB will be compared for patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy by video assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis, that PVB is a time-saving procedure compared with TEA on the day of surgery and that PVB is as efficient in postoperative pain reduction as TEA.

Subjects receive either CPL-01, positive control, or negative control after herniorrhaphy and are then followed.

Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures among general surgery cases. As with many open surgical methods, this repair is also performed laparoscopically. Among these closed methods, the most frequently applied method is laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (TEP). In general, this surgery is performed under general anesthesia (GA) in many centers. However, in cases where general anesthesia is inconvenient, local or other anesthesia methods are preferred. It has been stated in many studies in the literature that this surgery can be performed with methods other than general anesthesia. In a study of 480 patients, one of which was Sinha et al., it was shown that this surgical procedure was successfully performed under spinal anesthesia (SA). In a prospective randomized study by Dönmez et al., patients who underwent TEP under general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia were compared. It has been reported that TEP repair can be performed safely under SA and that SA is associated with less postoperative pain, better recovery, and better patient satisfaction than GA.2 In a retrospective study by Yıldırım et al. It has been shown that there is significantly less need for analgesics and better patient satisfaction. There are also many meta-analyses made on this subject in the literature. Compared with GA in these, SA was associated with a longer operative time, and postoperative pain and nausea and vomiting were less in SA. However, the risk of urinary retention in SA was significantly increased. It was observed that there was no significant difference in surgical complications such as seroma and wound infection. Despite all these studies, until now, there is no clear consensus on which anesthesia should be used. The aim of the study is to compare the results of spinal anesthesia with nerve block and general anesthesia in TEP repair.

To determine if patients with intraoperative cryoablation have better analgesia results compared to the control group of Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures (SSRF) without cryoablation

Total knee replacement surgery can be associated with a significant postoperative pain burden and an inability to mobilize adequately, which can lead to the failure of the ambulatory course. Indeed, early mobilization is beneficial in this context in order to prevent complications related to immobility. The optimization of postoperative analgesia is therefore a key issue for the success of this intervention in an outpatient setting or during a short-term hospitalization since an adequate pain relief facilitate the earlier mobilization of the operated joint. Modern postoperative analgesia protocols recommend a multimodal approach, including the use of acetaminophen, anti-inflammatories, opioids and others as well as the use of nerve blocks. Some nerve blocks used for total knee replacement surgery, such as the femoral nerve block, do not preserve the motor skills of the operated limb, which may alter the clinical trajectory due to delayed mobilization due to weakening of the quadriceps, one of the extensor muscles of the knee. Currently, one of the blocks used to spare the motor functions is the block of the femoral triangle. Unfortunately, this block of the femoral triangle does not fully cover the skin component of the surgical incision used for a total knee arthroplasty. A solution to obtain a better quality of pain relief at the level of the cutaneous incision would be to add a block of the para-sartorial compartment, which makes it possible to cover the nerve territories not covered by the femoral triangle block. The hypothesis of this study is that the addition of the para-sartorial compartments (PACS) block, which aims to block the intermediate cutaneous femoral nerve, will improve the postoperative analgesia after total knee replacement surgery, compared to the classical isolated approach of the femoral triangle block (FTB).

The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of a continuous infusion of low dose esmolol on intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption, as well as on postoperative recovery and chronic pain

Tourniquet, a compressing device, otherwise its use in intravenous regional anesthesia, is commonly used in particular orthopedic surgeries. From the previous documented effectiveness and safety of intravenous (IV) administration of ketorolac in the circulatory-isolated limb as a part of intravenous regional anesthesia; we hypothesized that in orthopedic surgeries done with tourniquet, intravenous (IV) administration of ketorolac after tourniquet inflation, will act as intravenous regional analgesia. So, it will prolong the postoperative analgesic duration as a primary outcome.
