Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The erector spinae plane (ESP) block has been studied for analgesia in shoulder surgery as a phrenic nerve-sparing alternative. However, successful ESP catheter placement appears multifactorial, with failure mechanisms including lamination, plane collapse, or catheter overcoiling. Electrical stimulation (ES) is a common technique used in regional anesthesia to detect possible intraneural placement. ES of the erector spinae muscle complex may objectively guide proper interfascial catheter placement and improve local anesthetic spread. The primary goal of this study is to establish if ESP catheter placement with the addition of ES to ultrasound (US) guidance facilitates accurate catheter placement. This study will further characterize postoperative analgesia and the incidence of brachial plexus stimulation for patients who receive ES-assisted ESP catheter placement.

This is a non-randomized prospective study. Patients undergoing upper extremity and shoulder surgical procedures after trauma at SJHC and LHSC will be divided in to two groups. The first group will include those who receive a single shot brachial plexus (interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular and axillary) block with or without general anesthesia. The second group will be the control group and include those patients who receive general anesthesia only, without any block whether due to the preference of patient or the surgeon

Prospective, randomized study comparing local wound infiltration with local anesthetic (LA) versus single injection TAP blocks (ssTAP) with LA versus continuous TAP block (TAP caths) catheters with LA for treatment of postoperative pain after total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH).

The primary objective of this study is to assess the analgesic properties of an oral dose of V117957 4.5 mg aqueous suspension in the third molar extraction model

This study intends to compare postoperative outcomes of a tissue expander placement following a mastectomy with two different operative techniques. This study will be randomized and double blinded comparing the traditional placement of the tissue expander under an inferolateral serratus muscle flap to a new technique which uses an acellular dermal matrix as an inferolateral sling, instead of the muscle flap. The study we are proposing will evaluate the question of whether there is a difference between the traditional method of serratus flap and the new technique of using an acellular matrix with tissue expander placement. This will be a double blinded randomized study of thirty women in each group comparing outcomes which will include postoperative pain, complications (wound infection, hematoma, capsular contracture, etc), and patient satisfaction with the procedure.

A study to compare pre-operative administration of rofecoxib versus post-operative administration of diclofenac or rofecoxib, respectively, in the treatment of post-operative pain after total knee joint replacement in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Regional anesthesia is an essential component of anesthesia and analgesia. It has many advantages, it decreases pain post operatively, improves patient outcome and allow early recovery and ambulation Post-operative pain following breast surgery results from injured muscles and nerves, management of acute post operative pain is a consistent factor for better outcome and patient satisfaction

Research study to determine if putting local anesthetic through a tiny tube next to the nerves that go to the shoulder will improve shoulder range-of-motion following the shoulder procedure performed on the frozen shoulder. It will also help determine if patients have a higher quality-of-life and less pain, require fewer pain pills, experience fewer sleep disturbances, and are more satisfied with their post-procedure pain control.

The advent of laparotomy replacement by minimally invasive techniques brought the obvious benefit of postoperative pain reduction. The application of transversus abdominis block has already demonstrated to reduce postoperative pain in laparoscopic hysterectomy. The comparison between it and quadratus lumborum block in cesarean sections showed that the latter was superior in relation to postoperative analgesia. The aim of this trial is to compare postoperative analgesia in patients receiving one or the other of these regional anesthesia techniques to prevent postoperative pain in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries. The recruited sample will be randomly distributed in three groups to receive placebo, transverse abdominal plan block or quadratus lumborum block, in a covert way for the patients and team. The primary outcome evaluated will be the postoperative consumption of opioid and the secondary outcome will be the evaluation of postoperative pain scores.

compare the postoperative pain between Bupivacaine peritoneal Infiltration plus immediately postoperative intramuscular Diclofenac and Bupivacaine peritoneal infiltration alone by using visual analogue score (VAS).
