Superior Hypogastric Plexus Blockade in Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Superior Hypogastric Plexus BlockHysterectomy5 moreThe primary indication for superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) block is visceral pelvic pain, most commonly from malignancy of the ovary, uterus, cervix, bladder, rectum or prostate. Per-cutaneous SHP blocks should be done under guidance of ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance or computed tomography. During minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, percutaneous technique can be done under the guidance of cameras.
Impact of Implementation of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y...
Postoperative PainA prospective randomized study of patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass will be randomized in 2 groups: those following an ERAS program and those ones following a standard protocol. Postoperative pain 24 hours after surgery and hospital stay will be assessed.
Local and Intraperitoneal Analgetics in Gynecologic Laparoscopy for Post Operative Pain Relief
Postoperative ComplicationsA comparison between local and intraperitoneal analgetics to placebo, during laparoscopy, regarding post operative pain.
Effect Low Pressure Pneumoperitoneum and Pulmonary Recruitment on Postoperative Pain
PneumoperitoneumRecruitment1 moreThe investigators want to test the hypothesis that the addition of a recruitment manoeuvre to a low pressure pneumoperitoneum will lead to an additional reduction in postoperative pain. Therefore the investigators will conduct a prospective randomized controlled, single blind trial.
New App for Monitoring Postoperative Pain in Total Ankle Replacement
Ankle OsteoarthritisPain1 moreThe study evaluates a novel web-based application for monitoring the postoperative pain in patients undergoing total ankle replacement, from preoperative condition to 30 days follow-up. The indexes provided by the app in terms of percentages of pain areas are compared with that obtained with traditional visual analogue scale. Moreover, the relation between the percentage of pain area and the presence of side effects of the intervention are compared as well.
Digital Intervention Postoperative Protocol
SurgeryOtolaryngologic Disorder2 morePostoperative recovery after head and neck surgery is complex, and often requires utilization of narcotic medications. The aim of this study is to evaluate reduction in pain and use of opioid medications through Virtual Reality (VR) and Fitbit wearable activity devices.
Does Preoperative Caldolor Decrease the Requirement for Postoperative Narcotics
Postoperative PainCaldolor® is an intravenous (IV) formulation of ibuprofen encompassing analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic (anti-fever) properties. Caldolor® is the first IV antipyretic approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), providing an alternate route for administration of ibuprofen when the oral route is not preferable. Recent studies have reported that Caldolor® decreases morphine use and pain at rest and with movement compared to patients not receiving this drug. The hypothesis of the proposed study is that a single dose of Caldolor® 800 mg given 30 minutes preoperatively for patients undergoing laparoscopic or open inguinal and/or umbilical hernia repair will result in a >20% decrease in postoperative narcotic use within the first 24 hours and at 7 days, and decreased VAS Pain Score at 2 hours, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after surgery. The use of less postoperative narcotics has been associated with a faster return of normal bowel function and resumption of normal ambulatory status thus resulting in improved general well being for the patient.

Comparison of Remifentanil-induced Postoperative Hyperalgesia Between Patients From Plain Area and...
PainPostoperative1 morePurpose: To compare the incidence of postoperative hyperalgesia induced by remifentanil in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery in plateau and plain areas To compare the peri-operative analgesic requirements of patients in plain and plateau areas
Prediction of Acute Postoperative Pain and Analgesic Consumption
Postoperative PainPain is an expected part of surgical recovery but effective pain management remains challenging. The high variability in postoperative pain experience and analgesic treatment response between patients is part of the challenge. Few studies have yet combined preoperative assessment of responses to experimental pain with measurements of cognitive and emotional processes in the prediction of postoperative pain. We hypothesize, that preoperative evoked brain potentials (using standard electroencephalographic brain imaging), endogenous pain inhibition capacity (conditioned pain modulation), responses to pressure/thermal pain stimulation, and/or situational pain-related catastrophic thinking are useful clinical predictors of postoperative pain and analgesic consumption.
