Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

The investigators research was designed as a single-center, prospective, randomized study. The patients undergoing knee artrhroplasty surgery in Istanbul University Istanbul Medicine Faculty Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology will be included. Patients who are legally authorized to make decisions on their behalf will be informed about the research and their written consent will be obtained. Patients who do not give consent will not be included in the study. Patients will be given US guided IPACK and adductor blocks using a 22 gauge 10 mm block needle after compliance with the rules of asepsia and antisepsis in the supine position according to the group of patients in which they were included. IPACK and adductor block will be done for postoperative analgesia. After then, a single dose of spinal anesthesia will be applied as a regional anesthesia method, in a sitting position, using the appropriate spinal needle, as is routinely applied in the investigators clinic. After the block is completed, the pinprick test will be done and the operation will be started after the successful completion of the block is confirmed. Oxygen will be given to the patients with a face mask at 4 lt / min throughout the operation. ECG, saturation, invasive / noninvasive blood pressure monitoring of the patients will be done. In the investigators clinic, the use of IPACK block, adductor block and PCA (patient controlled analgesia) device with intravenous morphine for postoperative analgesia is routinely performed. In this study, four randomized groups will be formed together with the control group. IPACK block will be applied to the 1st group with 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, to the 2nd group with 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine, and to the 3rd group with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine.Adductor block will be applied to all the groups with 15 ml %0,25 bupivacaine and PCA (patient controlled analgesia) device with intravenous morphine for postoperative analgesia is performed. Pain score and total morphine consumption will be determined by numeric rating scale (NRS) at the postoperative 1, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48th hours by providing the use of a PCA device with intravenous morphine applied in routine practice to all four groups. As in routine practice, when NRS > 4 after each interrogation, morphine 2 mg iv will be administered as additional analgesia and the maximum will be increased to 10 mg. Pain management will continue when NRS < 4.

This clinical trial aims to lower the number of people who use opioids and improve the quality of health in patients who have experienced accidental injury by implementing a Pain and Coordination Plan (PAC-plan). The PAC-plan will be given upon discharge from the hospital. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Can the PAC-plan reduce opioid use in patients after accidental injuries? Can the PAC-plan increase quality of life in patients after accidental injuries? Participants will be randomly assigned to the PAC-plan or usual care. The PAC-plan includes: an opioid management plan upon discharge from the hospital an appointment with his/her general practitioner within 2-4 weeks after discharge the general practitioner will be given the opportunity for increased collaboration with the hospital specialists Participants in both groups will be asked to answer questionnaires about their health at discharge, and at 6 and 52 weeks after discharge from the hospital. In addition, the researchers will use data from the Norwegian Prescription Database to measure opioid use.

The pain felt after orthopedic surgery in the absence of adequate locoregional anesthesia is often insufficiently controlled, especially during the first 24 hours postoperatively. Methadone, due to its long half-life, may provide better pain control after orthopedic surgery when associated locoregional anesthesia cannot be performed. It may be impossible to perform loco-regional anesthesia in various contexts: patient refusal, pre-existing neurological impairment, infection at the injection site, coagulopathies, inability to cooperate, total language barrier, allergy to anesthetics, unavailability of equipment (ultrasound, etc.) or equipped room, lack of experience of nursing staff in performing the block and in the postoperative management of the patient. Intraoperative administration of methadone in these settings may be superior to sufentanil for pain control during the 24 hours post orthopedic surgery, and the pain control provided by methadone does not appear to imply a higher likelihood of adverse events related to opioids.

When the literature was reviewed, many studies were found in which various non-pharmacologic interventions such as reflexology, music therapy, slow and deep breathing exercises, relaxation exercises and cold application were examined in the control of pain associated with chest tube removal. However, a limited number of studies have examined the effect of acupressure on the control of pain caused by chest tube removal; there are no studies in which LI4, LI11 and HT7 acupressure points were used and anxiety level and hemodynamic variables were examined along with procedural pain. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acupressure on procedural pain, anxiety and hemodynamic variables after chest tube removal after open heart surgery.

This randomized, double-blind trial included 60 female patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy. The study carried out at National Cancer Institute, cairo university after approval of the local ethical committee. The study aiming to compare the analgesic efficiency of adding dexamethasone or ketamine plus dexamethasone to bupivacaine in ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) performed with modified radical mastectomy surgery.

To determine if a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), Ketorolac (Toradol), can improve pain control and decrease narcotic use after undergoing egg retrieval.

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) that the study medicine called "liposomal bupivacaine" has on subjects that are undergoing a sternotomy. Liposomal bupivacaine solution, is a drug that the doctor will inject before they make the cut through patient's breastbone (sternotomy). Normally pain medicine like this is given right before the surgeon closes up the patient's breastbone, at the end of the surgery. For this study, they want to see if giving the medicine before they make the cut into the patient's breastbone helps their pain. They also want to find out if patients feel less pain after surgery with the study drug than they do with saline and possibly decrease the need for pain medicine. Subjects will be in the study for about 72 hours or until they are discharged from the hospital.

Single-shot erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks (ESPB) are emerging as an intervention to improve pain and minimize opioid consumption after lumbar spine surgery. Although promising, there is minimal evidence to support routine use, and widespread clinical adoption may be limited to centers with advanced regional anesthesia resources and expertise. Continuous ESP catheter techniques may solve these problems but are associated with challenges of their own. This trial will investigate the role of adding surgeon-placed, continuous ESP catheters to single-shot ESPBs for patients undergoing multilevel spine surgery. It will assess whether adding ESP catheters with ropivacaine infusion for 48 hours after surgery offers opioid-minimizing analgesia and improves patient quality of recovery, compared to ESP catheters with saline/placebo infusion for 48 hours.

Single-center, open label, single-session study to evaluate methadone pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic in adults.

Cesarean section is one of the painful operations that require adequate postoperative analgesia. Patients are divided into two groups: Multimodal (DMM) group ( 30 patients): patients will receive spinal anesthesia with 10-12.5 mg bupivacaine and 1 ml containing 2 mg dexamethasone, 50 µg morphine, and 500 µg midazolam. Morphine (M) group (30 patients): patients will receive spinal anesthesia with 10-12.5 mg bupivacaine and 1 ml containing 200 µg morphine
