Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The aim of the study is to evaluate the analgesic properties of dexamethasone and to quantify the possible associated postoperative complications, such as wound infections and hyperglycaemia, in patients who underwent lobectomy, segmentectomy or atypical resection surgery with a mini-thoracotomy approach or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).

Cleft palate repair is a common surgery in children.. As such children with cleft palate tend to have a compromised airway due to associated congenital anomalies like Pierre Robin syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome etc. After surgical correction of cleft palate, they are more prone to develop post-operative respiratory difficulty due to narrowed airway, increased secretion, pain and sedation caused by opioids. Hence, regional block, using local anesthetics, becomes a good option in this surgery. The supremacy of bilateral infraorital block using levo bupivacaine over intravenous fentanyl as well as over peri-incisional infiltration in has been shown .Levobupivacaine was developed after Ropivaciane was noted to be associated with less no of adverse events.. Ropivacaine has been used for peripheral block in children for surgical pain. Though the use of Levobupivacaine in regional blocks in facial surgeries has been well established, studies are still needed to establish its supremacy over Ropivacaine in cleft palate surgeries

The investigators designed a multi-center prospective randomized controlled trial to study the influence of the type of anesthesia on postoperative pain after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. Half of the participants will be anesthetized with propofol and remifentanil, while the other half will be anesthetized with sevoflurane and remifentanil during the surgery. The investigators will measure opioid consumption and pain score in the acute postoperative phase.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is traumatic and debilitating and is typically repaired using an arthroscopic technique performed as an outpatient surgical procedure. However, many patients complain that the postoperative pain is severe for the first 48 hours following the ACL reconstruction . Effective postoperative pain management is a critical component to recovery, effective rehabilitation and patient satisfaction. Following ACL reconstruction, psychological factors are predictive of outcomes, and pain levels are inversely associated with function and quality of life assessment. ACL reconstruction procedures may reflect the complexity innervation of the anatomical areas involved, which includes the femoral nerve and its infrapatellar and saphenous branches, the obturator nerve, as well as the tibial and common peroneal branches of the sciatic nerve. Therefore, surgical variables, namely the location of surgical ports and the source of grafts used, and this creates challenge to anaesthesiologist to determine easy , safe and efficacious nerve block to be used in this setting . A recently described popliteal plexus block(PPB) is claimed to anesthetize articular branches from the posterior obturator nerve and tibial nerve. It was recently confirmed in a cadaver study that injection of 10 mL of dye into the distal end of the adductor canal spreads via the adductor hiatus to the popliteal fossa and stains the popliteal plexus (PP). A blockade of the popliteal plexus , has been claimed to produce an equivalent analgesic effect to sciatic nerve block after total knee arthroplasty without causing any motor weakness. The current study hypothesize that combined saphenous nerve block with popliteal plexus block will enhance post operative analgesia after ACL reconstruction with motor sparing of thigh and leg muscles. Thus, faster recovery and earlier post-operative physiotherapy. The objective of the current study is to evaluate analgesic effect of combined saphenous and popliteal plexus block as post -operative analgesia for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction operation compared to standard saphenous nerve block . Patients scheduled for ACL reconstruction will be randomly assigned into one of two groups: the intervention group will receive popliteal plexus block and saphenous nerve block and the control group will receive the standard saphenous nerve block only.

Single-center, open label, randomized controlled trial of a preoperative nursing dialogue in patient undergoing major visceral surgery aiming in evaluating its impact on patients' anxiety, satisfaction and early postoperative outcomes.

The purpose of this prospective, randomized, and controlled trial was to compare the efficacy of single-shot spinal analgesia to typical conventional treatments (continuous epidural analgesia and spinal-epidural combination) in reducing labor pain, particularly in multiparous women. we will enroll in each of the three groups(S group= single-shot Spinal group), (E group= Continuous Epidural), and (C group = combined spinal-epidural) women in advanced active labor and fulfill inclusion criteria.

The purpose of this study is to test protocols being developed for the conduct of a large sale multi-site clinical trial which will compare opioids to non-opioids for managing post-surgical impacted 3rd molar extraction pain.

Patients of breast surgery dated between April 2016 and March 2021 will be scanned in three groups; solely induced general anesthesia, general anesthesia induced with Erector Spinae Plane Block, and general anesthesia induced with Rhomboid Block. The investigators aimed to retrospectively compare the effectiveness of regional anesthesia techniques used in the clinic for postoperative recovery and opioid consumption in patients who underwent breast surgery.

Chemomechanical preparation of the root canal system potentially results in extrusion of debris into the periradicular tissues. This debris is composed of hard tissue (dentin), soft tissue (inflamed or necrotic pulp tissues) and microbiota. Furthermore, the chemical adjuncts used during root canal disinfection may also extrude into the periradicular tissues. Extrusion of such materials results in postoperative pain, inflammation and and flare-up. There is evidence to demonstrate that most instrumentation techniques cause extrusion of debris, and that, severity of the inflammatory response depends on the amount of debris extrusion. Several factors may influence the debris extrusion during root canal preparation, including the instrument design, technique of use and irrigating agent used during preparation.Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the most commonly used root canal irrigant during root canal treatment. However, its cytotoxic effects when extruded into the periapical tissues is an issue of clinical concern. Thus, there has been a search for more biocompatible irrigants. One potential option, which has not been explored in detail, is the use of NaOCl, but in a gel form rather than a solution. NaOCl gel has similar effects on the dentin, as the solution form. Interestingly, greater dentinal tubule penetration depth has been reported for the gel form, compared to the solution. Previous studies have evaluated the effect of preparation techniques, the number of appointments and intracranial medicaments on postoperative pain during Endodontics treatment. There is no study evaluating the effect of different irritant type on PP. Therefore, this study will be evaluated the effect of different irritant type (gel or solution form of NaOCI) on postoperative pain.

Postoperative pain is mediated by different mechanisms at multiple neural sites. Thus, multimodal analgesics can reduce the postoperative pain. Although Opioids are considered the analgesics of choice to treat moderate to severe pain, their use carries the risk of side effects and hyperalgesia. Multimodal analgesia can be achieved by combining different analgesics and different methods of administration, to provide better analgesia synergistically compared with conventional analgesia. Therefore,lower doses for each drug can be provided with fewer overall side-effects obtained from individual compounds. Recently, antidepressants such as duloxetine, a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSNRI), have accomplished pain relief in persistent and chronic pain as in fibromyalgia, postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain. The analgesic effect of duloxetine is attributed to its ability to enhance both serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission in descending inhibitory pain pathways. Moreover, some studies have promoted its use to improve the quality of recovery after surgery and reduce the acute postoperative pain after knee replacement surgery , mastectomy , hysterectomy , and after spine surgery. In addition it can improve postoperative quality of recovery through mood improvement that can be helpful in the postoperative period. The main objective of the present study was to examine perioperativelythe analgesic efficacy with the combination of duloxetine and prgabalinon postoperative pain when given as part of a multimodal pain strategy in patients undergoing surgery on liosuction. In addition to evaluating the patient's satisfaction and the adverse effects related to the combination of both medications.
