Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

Adductor canal block (ACB), Saphenous nerve block, which is a block of a purely sensory nerve which shares in nerve supply of knee joint has a hypothetical advantage of better pain management with less motor affection. Also, it has a clear anatomical landmark that will increase the success rate (femoral artery) (*).On the other hand, being a branch of the femoral nerve and far distal from the plexus, this can decrease the blocking effectiveness. Likewise, the great variation of the knee nerve supply. This prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial is comparing ultrasound guided adductor canal block (ACB) versus ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block (LPB) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty aiming at decreasing post-operative pain, helping in early mobilization and better physiotherapy. This study hypothesizes that ACB, compared with LPB, will exhibit less motor, weakness, fewer opioids consumption with the same or better pain score.

The General Objective of this study is to investigate the cost and efficacy of treating patients undergoing colorectal surgical resections with an opioid limited pain control regimen as part of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol. This group will be compared to a traditional opioid based pain control regimen.

Pain after thoracic surgery remains a challenge for anesthetists. Although VATS for lobectomy is associated with fewer complications compared to thoracotomy, pain after VATS needs to be treated with opioids. Opioids may lead to PONV, respiratory depression, sedation and pruritus. As part of multimodal analgesia and opioids sparing, several local regional techniques has been described: paravertebral block, thoracic epidural analgesia, intercostal block. To date, there is no gold standard for regional anesthesia after VATS. Serratus plane block is a local regional technique, recently described for analgesia after breast surgery and ribs fracture. In our hospital center, since 2016, we used the Serratus plane block for patients scheduled for lobectomy VATS : a local retrospective trial showed that SPB was associated with a lower consumption of morphine. The purpose of this randomized controlled double blinded study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of the Serratus plane block, added to a general anesthesia on post operative pain control after VATS lobectomy.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of honey administration on pain following pediatric tonsillectomy or adenotonsilectomy. The patients( children 2-18 years old) will divide into two groups by simple randomization method( the control group and the case group). After surgery the case group: would instructed to use honey twice a day( 5 ml- one tea spoon each time)+acetaminophen syrup+ syrup oxycode( as necessary). the control group would get as is customary in our ENT department :acetaminophen syrup+ syrup oxycode( as necessary). The families would ask to follow treatment protocols for 7 days. From the first to the 7th day after the operation , the parents would ask to fill a questionnaire every day for assessment of pain intensity by visual analouge scale(VAS) , the numbers of painkillers taken daily, the number of times the child awaking at night due to pain, the amount of fluids intake daily, the time of commencement of regular oral intake. patient would follow up 7-14 days after surgery.

This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial was designed to assess and compare the postoperative pain after VATS lobectomy performed though one, two and three incisions. The primary outcome measure is pain intensity measured in VAS scale. The secondary outcome measure is cumulative morphine consumption up to 72 hours after surgery

the study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block versus thoracic paravertebral block after open nephrectomy surgery.

This is a randomized double-blinded placebo controlled trial to examine the use of rectal diazepam suppositories after major vaginal pelvic organ prolapse surgery will decrease postoperative pain in the interval between 3.5 and 6 hours postoperative compared to placebo.

Tonsillectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical interventions in children. However, it is associated with a high incidence of PostOperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV), severe pain and haemorrhage. There is strong evidence on the efficacy of Dexamethasone in reducing the incidence of PONV and pain after tonsillectomy, which led to consider this drug as a first line treatment in routine anaesthesia practice in such surgical setting. However, in the last decade, there have been arguments about the potential role of Dexamethasone in increasing the risk of postoperative bleeding in children and studies addressing the haemorrhage risk following administration of Dexamethasone for tonsillectomy are inconclusive.Thus, this study is aimed at providing evidence for the safety profile of Dexamethasone with regard to the risk of post-tonsillectomy bleeding in children when administered as a single intraoperative dose.

Background Brachial plexus block is a good choice for surgeries of the upper limb because it provides good quality of anesthesia and analgesia especially in patients with multiple comorbidities and in ambulatory surgery. Hyalaluronidase is a local anesthetic adjuvant used for ophthalmologic surgery. We evaluated the effect of adding hyaluronidase to bupivacaine as regard the onset and duration of motor and sensory block in ultrasound guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Methodology prospective, randomized and double-blind study conducted at Sohag University Hospital. A total of 40 adults scheduled for upper limb surgery, ASA I or II were randomly assigned into two groups (n=20). Group I received bupivacaine 0.375 % 15 mL + normal saline 4ml +hyaluronidase 800 IUin 1 ml. Group II received bupivacaine 0.375% 15 mL + normal saline5 ml. Both groups will be compared for onset and duration of sensory and motor block, duration of analgesia and complications. Results The onset of sensory and motor block was significantly faster in hyaluronidase group than control group. Significant difference could not be detected in either duration of the sensory or motor block between the two groups. Conclusion The use of hyaluronidase as an additive to bupivacaine fastens the onset of sensory and motor block of the brachial plexus in supraclavicular approach without affecting the duration of the block.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether superficial parasternal intercostal plane (SPIP) block alone or with transverses abdominis plane (TAP) block can improve post-operative pain in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery, specifically, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
