Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of liposomal bupivicaine in post operative analgesia for patients undergoing bariatric surgery when compared to conventional local analgesia. Patients will be randomly selected to receive either liposomal bupivicaine or conventional bupivicaine via a transversus abdominal plane block during surgery. Patients will be followed post-operatively to assess use of narcotics, post-operative pain and nausea scores, and length of stay.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become a standard technique for gall bladder surgery. Benefits in comparison to conventional laparotomy are shorter lived effects on pulmonary function and less postoperative pain . However, patients often suffer from considerable pain during the first 24 postoperative hours. Pain can prolong hospital stay and lead to increased morbidity, which is particularly important now that many centers are performing this operation as a day-case procedure. Administration of intraperitoneal local anesthetic, either during or after surgery, is used by as a method of reducing postoperative pain. Although a number of studies have reported a significant reduction in postoperative pain after the use of intraperitoneal analgesia, others have reported no benefit. Several investigations have been conducted in order to find the cause of this pain. According to some of these investigations, the pain is attributed to peritoneal inflammation due to carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum. Since steroids have been used for reducing inflammation, they may be considered as alternatives for relieving pain. Dexamethasone is a strong long acting glucocorticoid and it is widely used after surgery. it has been established that steroids are effective in relieving postoperative pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Also, administration of magnesium sulphate has been shown to have a potential to prevent postoperative pain and to reduce intra operative anesthetic and analgesic requirements being an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and its associated ion channels. Some studies showed reduction of pain scores if magnesium sulphate was injected intra-articular and intraperitoneal with no serious adverse effects. In this study the investigators will use intraperitoneal dexamethasone vs dexamethasone plus magnesium sulphate to study their analgesic efficacy after laparoscopic cholecystectomy as the investigators assume that the combination of both drugs will provide stronger analgesia than dexamethasone alone

Auricular pressure is effective for postoperative analgesia after hemorrhoidectomy, but the evidence is not sufficient.

A prospective randomized controlled study was undertaken to compare the postoperative analgesic effect between ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block and intercostal nerve block after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

This study evaluates the efficacy of dexamethasone as a intracanal irrigant along with sodium hypochlorite 1% and 5.25% concentrations in post treatment pain for molar root canal retreatment.

The aim of this study is to assess Intraoperative pain for extraction of Maxillary primary molars using Artpharma Versus Artinibsa in children during infiltration technique.

Cardiac surgery is associated with post-operative pain which is one of the major problems and remains one of the most controversial issues. Inadequate pain control after cardiac surgery increases the incidence of development of many complications. Intravenous opioids are commonly used for postoperative analgesia either on demand "physician or nurse-controlled" or patient -controlled. Multimodal opioid sparing analgesia has become frequently used, These techniques can be achieved with Dexmedetomidine, low-dose ketamine and magnesium. The study hypotheses that control of perioperative quality of pain with opioid sparing medications may improve analgesia and patient outcome.

This study evaluate the adequate dose of mutonpain for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the management of post operative pain. The investigators will randomize patients into three groups to compare the analgesia effects and side effects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a post-operative opioid pain 18 management protocol for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

assess the effect of using reciprocating motion with reciproc files versus adaptive motion using twisted file adaptive on postoperative pain after instrumentation of necrotic mandibular molars.
