Early Post-Operative Pain Control Following Wrist Operations

Pain

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate improved pain control and outcomes in wrist operations with the use of a long-acting local anesthetic, EXPAREL, when compared to the use of the standard local anesthetic, Marcaine.

Prediction of Acute Postoperative Pain and Analgesic Consumption

Postoperative Pain

Pain 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.

Assessing the Efficacy of Intravenous Acetaminophen Versus the Oral Formulation for Perioperative...

Postoperative Pain

To compare oral (PO) to intravenous (IV) acetaminophen with postoperative pain scores, and consumptions of opiates, among orthopedic surgery patients undergoing total knee replacement with spinal anesthesia. Our hypothesis is that IV acetaminophen patients will have improved analgesia, less opioid consumption, a lower percentage of patients rescuing, or a longer time to first rescue with IV acetaminophen. The investigators will compare the efficacies of oral and intravenous acetaminophen for postoperative pain control, and utilization of opiates as rescue agents.

Multimodal Perioperative Pain Management: ComfortSafe Program

Post-operative PainPost-operative Nausea and Vomiting2 more

Proposed is a demonstration project to characterize the immediate, short-term and long-term pain and other post-operative outcomes of 60, self-selected breast (n=20), caesarian-section (n=20) and abdominal (n=20) surgical patients who receive opioid-sparing, multimodal anesthesia and pain management care as guided by the ComfortSafe Pyramid.

COMT Activity and Hypnotizability

PainPostoperative1 more

Hypnosis is an effective pain management tool for surgery that can reduce opioid use up to 40%. COMT single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can predict pain sensitivity and opioid use perioperatively, and may also be associated with hypnotizability or response to hypnotic analgesia. Analyzing COMT haplotypes from DNA extracted from saliva or blood using a giant magnetoresistive (GMR) nanotechnology platform may be faster, less expensive, and at least as accurate as pyrosequencing. This study aims to validate a multi-SNP point-of-care (POC) GMR assay for the rapid genotyping of SNPs predictive of COMT activity, and test the feasibility of using COMT activity as a biomarker for hypnotizability and/or response to hypnotic analgesia.

Fascial Closure and Post-caesarean Pain

Pregnancy RelatedCesarean Section3 more

This study will evaluate post-operative pain in patients undergoing elective caesarean sections based on the method of fascial closure. Patients will be randomised into one of three groups based upon the method of fascial closure and will be followed up over a 10 week period evaluating analgesia use in the acute setting, and also following up with pain scores using a visual analogue score throughout the follow-up period.

Popliteal Nerve Block for Postoperative Pain Control in Ankle and Hindfoot Reconstruction

PainPostoperative

The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes of popliteal nerve blocks for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing ankle and hindfoot reconstruction surgeries. The following outcomes will be analyzed: length of hospital stay, level of pain control, pain medication use, complications, and patient satisfaction.

Post-Operative Pain Management Following Spine Surgery

Pain ManagementAnalgesia1 more

The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of comparing two standardized approaches to manage post-operative pain following spine surgery: one approach using Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) devices to deliver opioid analgesics, and the other approach using EXPAREL® infiltration at the site of surgery and nurse-administered opioid analgesics.

Preop Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation for Total Knee Replacement

Postoperative PainKnee Osteoarthritis

Total knee replacement surgery is commonly performed for patients suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis. However, 20% of patients continue to experience pain after surgery. There is currently no standardized pain management protocol for pain after total knee replacement. Cooled radiofrequency ablation has been used successfully to alleviate spin-related pain and has recently been approved by the FDA to treat chronic knee arthritic pain. This pilot study aims to collect preliminary data on the use of cooled radiofrequency ablation in patients undergoing total knee replacement.
