Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

This study will be a randomized control trial providing an educational component to study participants and a pre-operative and post-operative survey with a goal to show an improvement in pain control, decrease in narcotic use, and increase in patient knowledge in the study group.

This study was performed to compare the acute postoperative pain intensity and opioid consumption after total shoulder arthroplasty between propofol-remifentanil and sevoflurane-remifentanil anesthesia.

Unilateral vs. Bilateral Pudendal Nerve Block for Post-Episiotomy Pain Relief: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The proposed study design is a prospective, clinical trial comparing control group patients (CG; ncg = 30) that will undergo conventional perioperative management without an ERAS protocol and standard bupivacaine intraoperative nerve block to randomized treatment group patients that will receive an intraoperative V2 trigeminal nerve block using LB (TG; ntg = 30).

Patients will be randomized into 2 groups: TAP: Patients undergoing TAP blockade, associated with intravenous Acetaminophen analgesia IV: Patients receiving only intravenous Acetaminophen analgesia Postoperative pain 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated.

Total 60 patients, American society of anaesthesiology physical status I-II aged between 18-65 who underwent totally mastectomy will recruit to the study. The patients randomly divided into two groups. Ultrasound guided Erector spinae plane block (ESP) will perform with 15 ml bupivacaine+ 5 ml lidocaine in Group ESP and ultrasound guided serratus anterior plane (SAP) block will perform with 5 ml bupivacaine+ 5 ml lidocaine in Group SAP. Postoperative pain assessment will apply with 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) and postoperative analgesic requirement will calculate and record with morphine consumption (patient controlled analgesia).

The study will be self-funded by investigator and carried out on patients from outpatient clinic in Pediatric Dentistry and Public Health Department- Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University- Egypt. The procedures will be carried out by postgraduate student Rawda Nader Fathy who has B.D.S. (2011) -Alexandria University- Egypt. The procedures will be carried out on a Knight Midmark Biltmore dental unit (Midmark Corporation 1700 S. Patterson Blvd. Suite 400 Dayton, Ohio 45409, USA) in the post graduate clinic of Pediatric Dentistry and Public Health Department- Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University- Egypt.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether enlarging the apical foramen causes postoperative pain in maxillary anterior teeth with apical periodontitis.

Rhomboid intercostal block is used to block lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves between T3 and T9 dermatomes. Serratus anterior plane block is used to block lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves between T2 and T6, in addition, it is also known to block thoracodorsal nerve and long thoracic nerve. Both of the blocks are usually performed for postoperative analgesia following breast surgery. The primary hypothesis of the study is that FEV1 value of the patients who will receive modified radical mastectomy (MRM) and rhomboid intercostal plane (RIP) block combined with serratus anterior plane (SAP) will be higher than FEV1 value of the patients in the no-block group. The secondary hypothesis is that RIP+SAP blocks will provide reduction in the pain scores and opioid consumption in the postoperative first 24 hours.

To better determine whether parasternal subpectoral plane blocks (PSPB) infusing bupivacaine for midline sternotomy decreases opioid consumption and pain scores. This is a prospective, blinded randomized controlled trial with 2 arms. 1 arm is the saline control arm, PSPB catheters will be placed with saline and continue to infuse saline. The other arm is bupivacaine study arm, PSPB catheters will be placed with bupivacaine and continue to infuse the local anesthetic.
