The Effect of PPB Using 10, 20 and 30 ml of Lidocaine, Study on Volunteers
Knee ArthritisAnesthesia2 moreThe aim of this study is to evaluate the Popliteal Plexus Block (PPB) effect on motor nerve branches of the sciatic and femoral nerve, when using different volumes of local anesthetics for PPB. The hypothesis is that increasing the volume of anesthetics used for PPB will spread to the sciatic nerve leading to a reduced muscle strength in the lower leg and decreased nerve conduction velocity in the nerve to gastrocnemius muscle (the tibial nerve) and the nerve to anterior tibial muscle (the deep fibular nerve). The effects will be evaluated by maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the lower leg muscles and by recordings of the compound muscle action potential (cMAP) of the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles - a motor nerve conduction study. In addition, evaluation of PPBs effect on the femoral nerve is done by MVIC of the quadriceps femoris muscle, cMAP of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles and by a sensory nerve conduction study of the saphenous nerve.
Dexamedatomidine vs. Dexamethasone in Rhomboidal Intercostal Plain Block and Subserratus Block in...
Postoperative PainAcuteThe aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of adding dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone to bupivacaine in rhomboidal intercostal and subserratus (RISS) block for patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy compared to bupivacaine only.
iCanCope With Post-Operative Pain (iCanCope PostOp)
PainChronic2 moreThere are few applications available in the community to help teenagers manage pain after surgery. The focus of this study is to better understand the pain experience of children after having surgery and to design a Smartphone app called "iCanCope with Post-Operative Pain" (iCanCope PostOp), to help children and parents to better manage pain at home after surgery. The app will help keep track of pain, provide information about the teenager's surgery and provides "in-the-moment" advice wherever and whenever the patient needs it.
Different Bupivacaine Volumes in Infiltration Between Popliteal Artery and Capsule of Knee Block...
PainPostoperativecomparing between three different volumes; 15, 20 & 25 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine to determine the best volume of Infiltration Between Popliteal Artery and Capsule of Knee (IPACK) block following adductor canal block (ACB) with the best analgesia and least complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA)
Effect of Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract on Postoperative Pain and Bacterial Reduction in Mandibular...
Necrotic PulpThe aim of this study is to clinically compare the intensity of post-operative pain and the amount of bacterial reduction after using Moringa oleifera leaf extract solution during chemo-mechanical preparation, versus 2.5% NaOCl, in asymptomatic necrotic mandibular premolars treated in a single visit

Open and Endoscopic Technique in Female Inguinal Hernia Repair. FemaleHernia
Post Operative PainThis randomized study compares open inguinal hernia repair (Lichtenstein hernioplasty) to endoscopic repair (TEP) in terms of chronic pain and recurrences in one and five years after operation.
Venlafaxine for Postoperative Pain of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic CholecystectomyRecent studies on the impact of perioperative venlafaxine for treatment of acute postoperative pain have yielded positive outcomes . The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of perioperative venlafaxine on the management of postoperative pain in patients undergoing LC.
Use of a Vibration Tool for Postoperative Pain Control in Distal Radius Fractures
Distal Radius FractureRadius Fracture Distal3 moreThe purpose of this research study is to determine if using a vibration tool improves pain control after surgical treatment of distal radius fracture. Additionally, the investigators would like to determine if this tool has any impact on consumption of pain medications postoperatively.
