NCT07577908
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane (SPSIP) block compared to Intercostal Nerve (ICN) block in terms of postoperative pain control, reduction of opioid analgesic consumption, minimization of postoperative respiratory complications, and increase patient satisfaction (using a 5-point Likert scale) in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
NCT07548385
This is a prospective, randomized study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of Suzetrigine, a new pain medication, to well established peri-operative pain regimen used for total knee replacement surgery will effect pain control. 1. Does Suzetrigine given pre-operatively decrease the total opioid consumed after total knee replacement surgery? 2. Dose Suzetrigine given pre-operatively decrease the visual analog pain scale pain scores after total knee replacement surgery? Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Suzetrigine medication or placebo medication.
NCT06991231
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of cryoablation use on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and opioid consumption following total knee arthroplasty. This is a randomized study that will involve a 1:1 randomization to total knee arthroplasty +/- cryoablation.
NCT06028126
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether the use of intermittent superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks reduces opioid usage in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive the blocks with 0.2% ropivacaine administered via catheters placed in the superficial parasternal intercostal plane bilaterally under ultrasound guidance. Researchers will compare this group with a control group given 0.9% saline through similarly placed catheters. The primary outcome will be cumulative postoperative opioid use (measured as Milligram Morphine Equivalent (MME)) up to 72 hours following catheter insertion.
NCT07434583
This research is to understand more about the forces that are involved on the tongue and other oropharyngeal structures during laryngeal surgery. This information will be used to determine if these forces can affect outcomes (pain, numbness, taste, etc) and whether factors such as procedure type, surgeon experience (i.e. resident, fellow, attending), and choice of surgical equipment affect these forces. This information may be used to reduce these forces and prevent these issues from happening during certain laryngeal surgeries. For the first 50 patients, force measurements will be taken and correlated to outcome measures . Surgeons will be blinded to the force measurements intra-operatively. For the next 50 patients, surgeons will be given force measurements in real-time intra-operatively allowing adjustments to be made. The impact of this adjustment on outcomes will be determined.
NCT07418671
The current study was done to evaluate the effect of adding dexamethasone and magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine as adjuvants in an ultrasound-guided erector spinae block for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to assess their impact on the timing of the first request for analgesia and on overall postoperative analgesic requirements.
NCT07250399
Post-endodontic pain refers to the discomfort experienced following endodontic procedures. The incidence of post-operative pain is reported to be 25-40% regardless of the pulp and periradicular condition. It has been shown that pain prevalence declined from 40% in the first 48 h after treatment to 11% 7 days post-treatment. The mechanisms behind post-endodontic pain are complex and multifactorial that include host-dependent factors such as host immunity and preoperative pain history as well as operator-related factors such as chemical, mechanical or bacterial injury that occurs during endodontic procedure. A major contributor to this pain is the extrusion of infected debris as dentin chips, microorganisms, and the remnants of pulp tissue to the periradicular area. The intensity of pain is directly proportional to the extent of tissue injury caused. During root canal preparation, a variety of materials including dentin debris, pulp remnants, microorganisms, endotoxins, and irrigating solutions may be extruded into the periapical tissues, potentially leading to inflammation, increased vascular permeability, oedema, nerve compression and postoperative pain. Studies suggest that apical extrusion is affected by file systems, file kinematics and instrumentation techniques used during root canal preparation . Rotary systems vary in the amount of debris they extrude due to variations in cross-sectional design, flute depth, cutting blade, kinematics, taper, file sequence, tip size and cutting efficiency. Both rotary and reciprocating NiTi files are effective in reducing endotoxins and bacterial by-products from infected root canals. NiTi files enhance biomechanical preparation and canal centering and exhibit greater resistance to cycle fatigue due to their super elasticity and greater flexibility. However, the extent of periapical inflammation may differ among NiTi systems due to variations in the amounts of extruded irritantsEdgeOne Fire reciprocating system (EdgeEndo, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA) features a parallelogram cross-section having two cutting edges and an off-center design. these endodontic instruments are treated with a proprietary heat process called FireWire™, that it is claimed to provide high flexibility and a negligible restoring force. It operates using alternating cutting and releasing angles through a reciprocating motion; with an exchange in the direction of rotation. Jizai rotary file systems (JZ) (MANI, Tochigi, Japan) is a recently developed NiTi rotary system made of a proprietary heat-treated NiTi alloy. JZ system exhibits bending deformation indicating that it is not purely austenitic but contains R-phase and/or martensite at room or body temperature. It has an off-center quasi-rectangular cross-section with a radial land on one of the short sides. According to the manufacturer, this cross-sectional design produces low screw-in forces owing to the radial land and provides wide spaces for debris removal.

However, evidence is still conflicting and sometimes even contradicting regarding the association of kinematics with debris extrusion and post-operative pain.
NCT06434233
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient-reported post-operative pain scores following minimally invasive tubal sterilization procedures to determine if a multimodal, non-opioid pain control regimen is non-inferior to a pain control regimen including opioids. The study team hypothesizes that with extensive counseling on pain management, multimodal medication use, and expectation with non-opioid methods can effectively eliminate the need for opioid prescriptions after laparoscopic salpingectomy.

The investigators hypothesize that multi-port thoracic epidural catheters will provide superior pain relief when compared to uniport catheters for post-surgical patients.
NCT07102641
Cesarean delivery is a commonly performed surgical procedure associated with worse postpartum pain when compared to vaginal birth. Uncontrolled postpartum pain is associated with increased neonatal and maternal risks. Multimodal non-opioid pain medications, including acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the preferred first-line therapies. There is no standard practice, however, on best dosing schedules (ie staggered or different time v. simultaneous or same time). This protocol describes a randomized clinical trial aimed to determine whether staggered dosing of acetaminophen and NSAIDs in superior to simultaneous dosing in controlling post-cesarean pain.
NCT04892901
The main aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three alternative techniques (continuous Erectus Spinae Plane Block : c-ESPB; continuous Serratus Anterior Plane Block : c-SAPB; and Intercostal Nerve Block: ICNB) in reducing the severity of early postoperative pain after Uniportal-VATS lung resections. Primary outcomes will be opioid and other analgesic drugs consumption in the 72 hours after surgery, and static and dynamic pain scores, measured by the visual analog scale (VAS), at 6 pre-established time-points during the first 48 hours postoperatively. Further outcomes will be incidence of pulmonary and cardiac complications until patient's discharging, pain when removing drains, presence/absence of chronic neuropathic pain (12 weeks after surgery).
NCT05953766
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.
NCT06812832
By conducting this study, we hope to assess if simethicone (also known as Gas Relief or GasX) has an effect on improving gas pain and bloating specifically in patients undergoing foregut procedures to include bariatric procedures (sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass), hiatal hernia, and gastric surgery. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of simethicone. Simethicone (more commonly known as Gas Relief or Gas-X) relieves pressure, bloating, and fullness commonly referred to as gas. It is FDA approved. The use of this medication in this research study is consistent with labeling indications.
NCT05690282
This project consists of a randomized controlled study design. Study candidates will include all patients 18 years or older, who were evaluated at UCSD and found to have an orthopaedic injury requiring surgery. Patients who consent to study participation will be randomized to receive either the multimodal pain management protocol or standard oral hydrocodone-acetaminophen for post-operative pain management. Data on opioid usage, pain control, and functional status will be collected for each participant. After 3 years of data collection, investigators will analyze this data to provide further insight in determining appropriateness of pain regimens that reduce the overall opioid consumption. Given the widespread opioid epidemic, it is imperative to develop alternative means to appropriately manage pain in orthopaedic surgery patients.
NCT04995497
Interfascial plane blocks have been developed for analgesia, among which the erector spinae plane (ESP) has gained popularity. The ESP block has been hypothesized to provide truncal analgesia by spread of local anesthetic into the paravertebral space. Recent studies have contested this idea showing unreliability in the spread of the local anesthetic into the paravertebral space.
NCT06882369
This randomized controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, intrathecal morphine, or their combination in postoperative pain relief, as assessed by time to first analgesic request, pain scores, total postoperative analgesic consumption, time of ambulation, complications and hemodynamics following total abdominal hysterectomy.
NCT05240755
This study is a prospective, randomized, nonblinded trial to evaluate the effectiveness of Cannabidiol (CBD) oil on post-operative pain control compared to opioid medications.
NCT06077214
Liposomal bupivacaine (trade name Exparel) is a local analgesic that is designed to produce more long-term pain control. Bupivacaine, a widely used local analgesic, is stored within liposomes, which break down in soft tissue over time. Typical length of therapeutic effect for standard bupivacaine is up to 6 hours. The liposomal formulation of bupivacaine, however, has a length of therapeutic effect of up to 72 hours. Typical post-operative incisional pain is known to last for several days in most cases and is thought to peak between 1-2 days after surgery. Therefore, the benefit of most short-acting local analgesics does not overlap with the period of most need.
NCT02651324
This study hypothesizes that the addition of a low-dose ketamine infusion to usual post-operative pain management will improve pain control as evidenced by an improvement in post-operative pain scores for patients undergoing spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis.
NCT05810012
This study was done to evaluate two different interventions for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing hip surgeries. Fifty patients, divided in two equal groups, were included in the study. Patients in Group P were given pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block while those in Group F were given fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB). Pain score, using Numeric Rating scale as a measurement tool, was assessed at one, six, eighteen and twenty fours after the procedure as a primary outcome. Total tramadol consumption in milligrams was recorded as a secondary outcome.
