Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The investigators are testing to see if infusion of bupivicaine between the mesh and abdominal wall can reduce postoperative pain and decrease use of narcotics in the postoperative setting.

Double blind RCT comparing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy using warmed, humidified gas (new) against laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cool, dry gas (usual). Sample size of 200 patients. Outcome measures are postoperative opiate analgesia use, and post operative numerical pain scores.

The primary hypothesis tested in this project is that the preoperative behavioral stress response predicts postoperative behavioral and clinical recovery of children undergoing surgery.

The patients planned to go under elective cesarean delivery under general anesthesia are randomly assigned to have either bilateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block or usual standard analgesics after cesarean. Pain score (Verbal Analog Scale VAS) and analgesic requirements are recorded. It's supposed that both are significantly reduced in patients undergoing TAP block.

This is a prospective randomized study to compare surgical methods for the repair of large abdominal hernia.

This study evaluates the role of propolis paste as compared to calcium hydroxide (when used as intracanal medication) in prevention and treatment of pain after root canal treatment in necrotic (infected) teeth. Half of the participants will receive calcium hydroxide, while the other half will receive propolis.

This study seeks to investigate lidocaine infusion to reduce postthoractomy pain syndrome after thoracic Surgery

Randomized trial of intraoperative intercostal block with bupivacaine with epinephrine compared to lipossomal extended release bupivacaine.

To evaluate the impact on the postoperative pain of the dexamethasone addition to the usual treatment with bupivacaine in the local infiltration of the surgical area in Inguinal Hernia Repair Mesh

Pulpotomy has been proposed in the last decade as a definitive treatment of mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis due to the better understanding of the pulp biology and development of bioactive materials . This technique involves removal of the coronal portion of the pulp that has undergo degenerative and irreversible changes to the level of the canal orifices and leaving the healthy vital radicular portion of the pulp. The surrogate marker for the degree of inflammation and the healing potential of the remaining pulp tissue has been suggested to be the ability to control the bleeding after pulp amputation. By preserving the pulp vitality, this can help in maintaining proprioceptive, reparative, innervation (tooth sensitivity), vascularization, and damping functions. The vital pulp can continue to serve the function of protecting the tooth from overload by means of protective feedback mechanism and preventing fracture because of the presence of pulp and organic tissue in the dentinal tubules..
