Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

This is a multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety and PK of oral morphine sulfate in pediatric subjects with post-operative pain.

Recent evidence has shown that the onset and intensity of post-operative pain are significantly related to the amount of residual pneumoperitoneum at the end of the surgical procedure. In addition, the use of low pressures of carbon dioxide (CO2) for induction of the pnemoperitoneum has been associated with a reduction in post-operative pain, probably due to a lower abdominal distension and a consequent reduced compression of the pelvic, abdominal and sub-diaphragmatic pain nerve fibers. The reduction of the residual pnemoperitoneum at the end of the surgical procedure could therefore play a key role in the reduction of post-operative pain, with consequent greater comfort for the patient and reduction of the use of analgesics. In view of the available evidence, the aim of the present study is to evaluate whether the application of Jackson-Pratt drain, for one hour from the end of the surgical procedure, can significantly reduce post-operative pain and the need of analgesics in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

Pain after hypospadias surgery is a challenging issue to solve for anesthesists. Many different analgesia techniques were defined in literature for this purpose. The investigators have implemented application of ultrasound guided dorsal penile nerve block into practice for these type of surgeries. Main purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of nerve stimulator guided pudendal nerve block with ultrasound guided dorsal penile nerve block for postoperative analgesia after hypospadias surgery.

The study was planned to compare the effect of ketorolac 20 mg to 300 mg of paracetamol when added to lidocaine 3 mg/kg for Intravenous regional anaesthesia.

Post-operative pain following lumbar spine fusion is frequently difficult to manage and can lead to increased doses of opiate pain medications to control pain. In this study, the use of subcutaneous local anesthesia will be studied to determine its efficacy at reducing post-operative pain following spinal fusion surgery.

This study compares the transversalis fascia plane block with the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block in children undergoing hernia repair surgery. Half of participants will receive the transversalis fascia plane block, while the other will receive the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block.

Transversalis fascia plane block is a regional anesthesia technique described ten years ago. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that transversalis fascia plane block could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in the cesarean section, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral transversalis fascia plane block in cesarean section.

This is a randomized control trial that aims to evaluate whether patient-centered education, compared to routine education, decreases narcotic consumption without interfering with return to physical activity following hospital discharge. In addition, it will test whether patient-centered education decreases the quantity of narcotics prescribed and/or increases patient satisfaction and preparedness.

Many factors during laparascopic surgery leads to PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting), such as C02 insufflations causing peritoneal stretch and irritation and type of anaesthesia given during surgery. The two anesthetic techniques used in bariatric surgery are gas anesthesia (Remifentanil TCI and Desfluran) and Total Intra Venous Anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol. There are studies which have shown a reduction in postoperative nausea and vomiting following TIVA, and there are publications showing no statistically significant difference. The aim of this study was to investigate the best anaesthetic approach for obese subjects, evaluating awakening time, postoperative nausea and pain. Our hypothesis was based on the fact that Propofol is a lipid-soluble anesthetic and therefore might have a prolonged effect in obese patients, leading to a longer awakening time along with postoperative nausea and vomiting. This hypothesis is also described earlier by obese patients have more depots (bulk fat) and also more fat surface making anaesthetics storage more easier, and also that the anesthetic will return into the circulation when the administration is stopped [18].

This is a two-part, Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design study of CA-008 (vocacapsaicin) vs. placebo injected/instilled during an elective TKA.
