Labour analgesia decisions are often made under time pressure, while in pain, which may lead patients to feel unprepared or uninformed. Shared decision-making (SDM) enhances patient satisfaction, promotes alignment with personal values, and improves trust in clinical care. Digital tools can support SDM by providing accessible, evidence-based information. The Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) is an international organization made up of doctors who specialize in managing pain and anesthesia during pregnancy. Their focus is the wellbeing and safety of mothers and their babies from early pregnancy through delivery and recovery. The Painless Push digital resource educates mothers about ways to manage pain during labour. This trial aims to evaluate whether directing patients to access to the website https://thepainlesspush.com/ improves preparedness for shared decision-making compared to the current care, which is access to the Mount Sinai Obstetric Anesthesia website.
NCT07525999
Spinal surgery is generally followed by severe postoperative pain, and poor pain control may cause adverse outcomes such as cardiovascular events, neurocognitive disorders, and chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). In previous studies, perioperative use of dexmedetomidine or esketamine is each associated with improved analgesia after surgery. Recent studies suggest that combined use of dexmedetomidine and esketamine may produce synergetic effects in improving analgesia. This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that perioperative combined use of dexmedetomidine and esketamine may reduce CPSP in patients after spinal surgery.

NCT07514806
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block as an adjunct to general anesthesia for managing postoperative pain in patients undergoing lumbar spondylolisthesis surgery. The study will compare two groups: one receiving general anesthesia with ESP block (intervention group) and the other receiving general anesthesia alone (control group). The primary objective is to assess postoperative pain relief, opioid consumption, and hemodynamic stability. Secondary outcomes include adverse events and recovery quality. This trial will provide valuable insights into the efficacy of ESP block in improving recovery outcomes and reducing opioid use in spine surgery patients.
NCT06580899
This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial evaluating three groups. The groups are: Group 1 (Control): Subjects that receive only the existing standard-of-care multimodal pain management protocol and do not receive post-operative intra-articular catheter. Group 2 (Investigational Treatment/Intervention): Subjects that receive the brand 1 intra-articular catheter pump with existing standard-of-care multimodal pain management protocol in the immediate post-operative period. Group 3 (Investigational Treatment/Intervention): Subjects that receive the newer brand 2 intra-articular catheter pump with existing standard-of-care multimodal pain management protocol in the immediate post-operative period.
NCT07489872
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of intrathecal morphine and rectus sheath block compared with standard postoperative analgesia for pain management in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery with a midline incision. Effective postoperative analgesia is essential to enhance recovery, reduce opioid consumption, and improve overall patient comfort. In this prospective randomized controlled trial, eligible patients scheduled for lower abdominal surgery through a midline incision will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: intrathecal morphine, rectus sheath block, or control (standard postoperative analgesia without regional intervention). Postoperative outcomes will include pain scores, quality of recovery (QoR) scores, functional recovery parameters, patient satisfaction, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and rescue analgesic requirements. The findings of this study may provide evidence on the comparative effectiveness of these analgesic strategies and contribute to the development of optimized multimodal pain management protocols in lower abdominal surgery.
NCT06622408
Cesarean deliveries account for 20.7% of all deliveries in France, according to the latest perinatal survey. At Nice University Hospital, the C-section rate over the last 5 years is around 19%. Caesarean section patients are at greater risk of developing symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. The post-operative period is also more painful, and there is a positive correlation between immediate post-operative pain and the risk of developing chronic pelvic pain. Numerous attempts to reduce these symptoms have been evaluated, including music therapy, relaxation techniques, acupressure and the use of preoperative melatonin. Virtual reality has demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing pain and anxiety in other disciplines, notably pediatric surgery and neurosurgery. In particular, several trials have demonstrated a reduction in anxiety in the paediatric population and, for pelvic procedures under local anaesthetic, during prostate biopsies or hysteroscopy in consultation, with a reduction in anxiety and pain respectively. It has been used to provide information by showing a film about the caesarean section procedure, and has been shown to be effective in terms of patient satisfaction, but without being able to demonstrate a significant reduction in anxiety (p=0.06). The use of virtual reality during the entire peri- and intra-operative management process (maternity stay, patient transfer to the operating room, locoregional anesthesia procedure and during the operation) has not been studied in the context of cesarean section.
NCT07423650
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether continuous nefopam administration, as part of a multimodal analgesia strategy, reduces opioid consumption and improves patient satisfaction after pancreatoduodenectomy. The main questions are: Does nefopam administration reduce opioid consumption after pancreatoduodenectomy? Does nefopam administration reduce postoperative pain levels after pancreatoduodenectomy? Researchers will compare two other analgesic strategies, namely continuous lidocaine infusion and epidural analgesia, to assess whether they lead to better outcomes. Participants will complete the QoR-15 questionnaire and report their pain levels at predefined time points before and after surgery.
NCT07374133
This prospective single-center study compares intrathecal morphine and ultrasound-guided bilateral transversalis fascia plane block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. The primary outcome is the number of parturients requiring rescue analgesia within the first 24 hours postoperatively. The secondary outcomes include postoperative pain scores, rescue analgesia requirement, nausea/vomiting, pruritus, and obstetric quality of recovery (ObsQoR-11T).
NCT07480499
TAH, being a large scale gynaecological operation, is a construction bound to cause serious postoperative pain to the patient in that the procedure will inevitably entail massive tissue dissection. Management of this postoperative pain is of utmost significance because poor analgesia may lead to delayed mobilization of the patient, long duration of hospitalization and also general increase in the morbidity of postoperative period. Traditionally, in these facilities, opioid analgesics are the most common and the most popular means of controlling postoperative pain. Nevertheless, the varied and pervasive use of opioids is largely constrained by its well-reported, dose-dependent systemic adverse effects. Nausea, vomiting, sedation, and respiratory depression are complications that severely degrade the recovery process of the patient and reduce his or her satisfaction.
NCT07469410
Postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains clinically relevant. This double-blinded randomized controlled trial compares the analgesic efficacy of landmark-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) and subcostal transversus abdominis plane (STAP) block in 60 adult patients. Postoperative pain will be evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale at multiple time points, along with rescue analgesic requirements and time to first analgesic request, to assess the effectiveness of these techniques in resource-limited settings.
NCT07463482
This randomized clinical trial compares two different preoperative doses of oral paracetamol (acetaminophen) in children undergoing elective tonsillectomy. The aim is to determine whether a higher loading dose (30 mg/kg) decreases the need for opioid rescue medication after surgery compared with the standard dose (15 mg/kg), when used as part of a multimodal pain management approach. Children aged 3 to 15 years will be randomly assigned to receive either 30 mg/kg or 15 mg/kg of oral paracetamol before surgery. All participants will receive the same standard anesthesia and postoperative pain management. The primary outcome is the total amount of rescue opioid (fentanyl) required during the first 12 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include postoperative pain scores and the occurrence of side effects such as nausea and vomiting. This study seeks to determine whether a higher initial dose of paracetamol offers additional clinical benefits in pediatric tonsillectomy with multimodal analgesia.
NCT07386327
D5W) has long been used as an intravenous fluid for hydration and energy supplementation and has recently gained increasing clinical interest in perineural injection therapies and ultrasound-guided hydrodissection. D5W has been shown to improve pain and functional outcomes in entrapment neuropathies by mechanically releasing perineural adhesions and potentially modulating neurogenic inflammation. In contrast, 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) is routinely used as a dilution medium for local anesthetics in peripheral nerve blocks; however, emerging evidence suggests that alternative diluents such as D5W may influence block onset and efficacy. The infraclavicular block is a commonly used ultrasound-guided technique for brachial plexus anesthesia, providing reliable anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for upper extremity surgery. This study aims to compare the effects of diluting bupivacaine with either D5W or 0.9% NaCl on block success and duration of analgesia in patients undergoing infraclavicular block. Secondary outcomes include block onset characteristics, sensory and motor block profiles, and perioperative analgesic requirements. The findings may help determine whether D5W represents a safe and effective alternative diluent to saline in routine regional anesthesia practice.
NCT07242196
This prospective clinical study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) and the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Effective and long-lasting postoperative analgesia is essential for patient and parental satisfaction in pediatric anesthesia. With recent advances in ultrasound technology, regional anesthesia techniques have become increasingly utilized in pediatric practice. In the TAP block, local anesthetic is injected between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles, providing analgesia typically between Torachal vertebra 10 (T10) and Lumbar vertebra (L1) dermatomes. The transversalis fascia plane block, developed as a modification of this approach, targets the proximal portions of the T12 and L1 nerves by depositing local anesthetic between the transversus abdominis muscle and the transversalis fascia, potentially offering wider sensory coverage. This study compares both blocks in terms of postoperative pain scores, duration of analgesia, and requirement for rescue analgesics in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The results are expected to contribute to the optimization of regional anesthesia techniques and improve pain management strategies in pediatric surgical patients.
NCT07380503
Analgesic Efficacy of adding different doses of dexmedetomidine as adjuvants with bupivacaine vs. bupivacaine only in ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block in morbidly obese patients undergoing Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery. A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED DOUBLE BLINDED STUDY.
NCT07451522
The goal of this clinical trial is to study postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing CABG. And learn if tafalgin (tyrosyl-D-arginyl-phenylalanyl-glycine amid) treats pain not inferiory then morphine. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does tafalgin (tyrosyl-D-arginyl-phenylalanyl-glycine amid) lower the VAS score same way as a morphine? What medical problems do participants have when taking tafalgin (tyrosyl-D-arginyl-phenylalanyl-glycine amid)? Participants will: Group (1)- subcutaneous single dose of morphine 10 mg would be administred based on VAS score \> 3 during 24 hours after CABG. Exprimental group (2)- subcutaneous single dose of tafalgin (tyrosyl-D-arginyl-phenylalanyl-glycine amid) - 0.4 mg would be administred based on VAS score \> 3 during 24 hours after CABG. Efficacy was assessed using the VAS scale decreassion. Hemodynamic parameters and arterial blood gases were also assessed.
NCT06849726
Childbirth is an intense physical and psychological experience. Epidural analgesia (EP) remains the gold standard in labor pain management. However, continuous refinements are aimed at enhancing analgesic quality and mitigating adverse effects. In recent years, the dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique has gained popularity. In this technique, the dura is intentionally punctured with a spinal needle before the epidural catheter is placed, but no intrathecal medication is administered. This historically controlled study evaluates the clinical outcomes of a protocol transition from standard high-dose epidural to low-dose DPE. The primary objective is to compare total analgesic consumption and success rates of labor analgesia between the two techniques. The secondary objectives include the assessment of hemodynamic parameters, motor block characteristics, adverse effects (such as paresthesia and hypotension), and overall maternal satisfaction
NCT07059429
This study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ketamine infusion for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. Adult patients who have undergone knee arthroplasty will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The study group will receive standard pain management plus a continuous infusion of ketamine using patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), while the control group will only receive standard pain management. All patients will be monitored for pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at several time points the first 24 hours after surgery. The study will compare the total amount of opioid pain medication required, the level of pain experienced, and the frequency and severity of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and neuropsychiatric reactions. The goal is to determine whether adding ketamine to standard pain management reduces opioid use and improves pain control without increasing side effects. The results improve pain management strategies after knee replacement surgery.
