Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

During laparoscopy, administration of cold and dry carbon dioxide (CO2) leads to hypothermia. Different types of gas conditioning have been studied in order to prevent this specific hypothermia. Intra-abdominal administration of local anesthetics has also been studied in order to prevent post-operative pain. In both cases, some results have been described. The investigators propose to evaluate in a prospective, randomized, double blind trial, the impact of 4 different types of conditioning of insufflated gas during laparoscopy for womb surgery on hypothermia prevention and post-operative pain. These 4 types of gas conditioning are: CO2 wet and cold with nebulized Nacl and direct intra-abdominal administration of Nacl CO2 wet and cold with nebulized ropivacaïne 0.75% and direct intra-abdominal administration of Nacl CO2 dry and cold with direct intra-abdominal administration of ropivacaïne 0.2% CO2 dry and cold with direct intra-abdominal administration of Nacl The investigators use a new device (Aeroneb® Pro [Aerogen® Company]) which can wet (by nebulization) the insufflated gas and therefore permits intraperitoneal medicament administration (local anesthetics).

A prospective randomized study was performed including consecutive patients who underwent an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for symptomatic cholelithiasis during the 18 months period. This prospective randomized trial aims to compare two umbilical closure techniques for trocar site hernia (TSH) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in pain perception by participants when the assistant port size varies by 50% (8 mm to 12 mm).

This double-blind, randomized trial examined whether tramadol wound infiltration decreased postoperative pain following cesarean delivery under general anesthesia or reduced the need for analgesics in the immediate postoperative period. Patients in the tramadol group consumed significantly less morphine at all time intervals than those in the control group. The investigators suggest that the use of wound infiltration with tramadol may be a useful technique in patients who undergo cesarean section under general anesthesia to reduce postoperative pain, improve recovery, and facilitate early contact of mothers with their babies.

Patient will have usual appendectomy surgery with an injection of local or saline at incision site either before or after the incision at random. The clinical hypothesis of this trial is that pediatric patients who undergo a local anesthetic pre-incisional and/or post-incisional will reduce the amount of postoperative pain and therefore reduce the amount of analgesics required to keep the patient satisfied. Primary: To determine if local anesthetic reduces postoperative pain. Secondary: To assess the timing of local anesthetic injection affects postoperative pain.

The aim of this research is to compare the clinical outcome of amalgam restorations placed in conjunction with three different lining protocols, each of which represents a different therapeutic concept.

We conducted a controlled randomized trial examining the ability of the Mott abdominal Compression Binder to decrease postoperative pain in gynecologic abdominal laparotomy patients

Pain relief after open inguinal hernia repair could be improved by administration of TAP block or ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block. It is unclear which one works better. The investigators hypothesize that doing TAP block closer to the middle of the abdomen would result in improved pain relief due to simultaneous block of ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerves.

The aim of the study was to evaluate if acupuncture may reduce intraoperative ULTIVA (remifentanil) consumption and post operative pain measured with VAS, italian version Mc Gill Questionnaire Pain and drug consumption (acetaminophen daily consumption).

The study team propose to investigate the feasibility and pilot a Telephone Cognitive Behavioral Therapy intervention for those identified to be at risk for chronic pain following surgery.
