Active clinical trials for "Pain, Postoperative"

This study will explore healthcare providers' pediatric postoperative pain management knowledge and clinical practice. The aim of this study is to explore healthcare providers' knowledge and clinical practice in pediatric postoperative pain management in surgical wards, and to evaluate whether an educational intervention would improve postoperative pain management. This study has a pre-post intervention design. This study will be conducted on four surgical wards in one university hospital in Norway. There will be used different methodological approaches for data collections (interviews, questionnaire, observational study) with four measurement points; baseline (T1), and one month (T2), six months (T3) and 12 months (T4) after intervention.

To evaluate the feasibility of a pragmatic, large scale, comparative effectiveness, randomized evaluation of patient experience of intravenous propofol versus inhaled volatile anesthesia.

The purpose of this study is to determine how a non-opioid pain control regimen, administered before and during surgery, will affect postoperative pain control and total opioid consumption in head and neck cancer participants undergoing cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction.

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study of the appliedVR RelieVRx headset in subjects undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). This study will evaluate two primary endpoints - effectiveness of a single use of RelieVRx in the reduction of acute postoperative pain by 20%; and overall effectiveness of RelieVRx as an opioid-sparing intervention, where opioid consumption is reduced by at least 20% over a 90-day postoperative period in the interventional, standard of care (SOC) plus RelieVRx group compared to the control, SOC group.

Anal fistula is an abnormal tract communicating an external opening in the perianal skin with an internal opening in the anal canal. Anal fistula is treated by fistulotomy . sphincter sparing procedures are usually done under general anesthesia omitting neuromuscular blocking agents in order to preserve sphincter tone intraoperatively. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of caudal block analgesia versus perianal block analgesia combined with general anesthesia on the postoperative analgesic profile and the tone of external anal sphincter in sphincter sparing surgery.

Evaluate differences between patients taking Duloxetine or placebo following lateral lumbar interbody fusion for postoperative narcotic consumption. Evaluate differences between patients taking Duloxetine or placebo following lateral lumbar interbody fusion for postoperative pain, function, and quality of life. Evaluate the correlation between preoperative screening tests (measuring pain centralization, anxiety, depression, and overall function) and patients' response to treatment (reduction in pain, anxiety, or depression and improvement in function).

Open heart surgery method is generally used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Sternotomy is the process of opening the sternum. After sternotomy, individuals experience ongoing pain in the anterior thorax. Despite developing pain methods and treatments, individuals undergoing cardiovascular surgery suffer from pain that cannot be managed well. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery experience severe pain for the first 48 hours and are in intensive care during this period. Pain is the most important stress factor for intensive care patients. The nurse and health care team should play a key role and take an active role in the management and evaluation of pain. However, there are not enough studies trying to define the role of the nurse in the management of postoperative pain. Protocols are used to provide pain management and routine pain assessment in intensive care units. The use of protocols provides maximum care to the patient, while reducing the cost. It also ensures the patient's participation in the treatment. While protocols ensure that practices are converted into evidence-based ones, they also prevent disruptions in treatment. As a result, management of the pain experiences of patients with sternotomy who underwent open heart surgery in the intensive care unit with the developed protocol; It will guide the improvement and development of pain management. It is thought that the protocol will address the pain of individuals undergoing open heart surgery in a holistic way. In addition, no study has been found in the literature that includes the development of a protocol for the pain of intensive care patients undergoing open heart surgery. For this reason, it is thought that the study will shed light on the literature by being a resource in the management and improvement of pain.

The study is a single-center parallel group randomized controlled trial comparing the administration of a presacral nerve block using 20mL of local ropivacaine 5.0mg/ml versus 20mL of normal saline (sham block) on post-operative pain following total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate and compare the incidence and intensity of post-operative pain after obturation using resin and silicon-based sealers.

Hysterectomy is the second most common major Obstetric/gynecology procedure worldwide and one of the most common procedures in our institute. Post-operative pain is one of the most common complications following hysterectomy. Patients report moderate to severe pain following hysterectomy. Transversus abdominis plane block(TAP) is an established technique for abdominal and pelvic analgesia. Although efficient as an analgesic technique, it lacks visceral analgesia.Erector spinae plane block (ESP) is one of the newer developed regional techniques. Initially developed for Thoracic Neuropathic Pain by Forero et al, its use has expanded to include thoracic, abdominal and even femoral and below knee operative pain management. Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the ESP block with the TAP block for postoperative pain management in cases undergoing Total abdominal hysterectomy. Methods: A hospital based randomized, prospective, interventional study will be performed on all consenting patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia. The required number of participants will be selected by probability sampling. Fourty four female participants posted for elective Total abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia will be randomized onto two groups. The process of randomisation will be via computer generated randomization sequence.Each of the group will receive either of the two intervention after the completion of operative procedure. The post operative anelgesia duration and NRS score will be compared between the two groups. Approval will be taken from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC) of Institute of Medicine. Written consent will be taken prior to the data collection. Data will be entered in Microsoft Excel and errors will be checked. The clean data will be transferred into SPSS v 20 for analysis The results will be presented in terms of frequency percentage and table The associations will be established.
