POSTOPERATIVE PAIN

This study is testing whether adding a second drug, dexmedetomidine, to a standard pain-relieving nerve block can make the pain relief last longer after shoulder, foot, or ankle surgery. Researchers want to see if this combination can provide pain control for several days, which …

This study is testing whether adding a specific anti-inflammatory drug (flurbiprofen axetil) to a standard local anesthetic, injected into the scalp during brain surgery, can better prevent or reduce pain afterward. The goal is to see if this combination helps patients need less …

This study is testing whether a special recovery plan called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) can help people need less strong pain medication after receiving a kidney from a living donor. Researchers will compare 60 patients using the ERAS plan—which includes a pre-surgery…

This study is testing whether a long-acting numbing medicine injected during nose surgery can help patients use fewer opioid pain pills afterward. 50 patients having nose surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the numbing injection or a placebo (saltwater) injection.…

This study compares two methods for managing pain after gynecological surgery: a newer ultrasound-guided EXORA block and the standard epidural. Researchers will measure pain levels, recovery quality, and side effects like nausea in 60 patients. The goal is to see if the EXORA blo…

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain for patients having surgery for a broken hip. It will compare two different nerve-blocking injections given before surgery to see which one better reduces pain during the anesthesia process and in the first day after the operati…

This study is testing if a nerve block injection in the back can help patients use fewer opioid painkillers after major abdominal surgery. It involves 46 patients having open abdominal surgery. Half will receive the standard pain control, while the other half will get the nerve b…

This study compares two different nerve block techniques to see which provides better pain relief after abdominal surgery. Researchers tested 60 patients undergoing abdominal surgery, randomly giving them either a modified thoracoabdominal nerve block or a rectus sheath block. Th…

This study is testing if a specific type of nerve block, given before surgery, can better control pain for people having an operation for a slipped disc in their lower back. Researchers will compare patients who receive the block to those who do not, measuring their pain levels, …

This study is observing how well patients recover after plastic surgery when they use a special light therapy device as part of their normal care. It will track 300 adults to see if the device helps with pain, swelling, bruising, and how quickly they get back to normal activities…

This study compares two different nerve-blocking techniques used to manage pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Researchers are testing whether a newer method (SPSIPB) provides similar pain relief as a common method (CCBPB) but with less impact on breathing muscle function. …

This study is testing whether patients can manage pain just as well without prescription opioid pills after routine hernia repair surgery. It compares two groups: one gets a small opioid prescription, and the other gets only common pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen.…

This study tested whether a single dose of a long-acting steroid given before wisdom tooth surgery helps reduce pain, facial swelling, and jaw stiffness afterward. Sixty healthy young adults having impacted lower wisdom teeth removed were randomly given either the steroid or a pl…

This study is testing whether a specific nerve block, given with ultrasound guidance, can help control pain after surgery to remove kidney stones. It involves 60 adults having the stone removal procedure. Researchers will measure patients' pain scores and how much additional pain…

This study compares two different nerve-blocking techniques used to manage pain after surgery for a slipped disc in the lower back. Researchers are testing which method—a quadratus lumborum block or a retrolaminar block—provides better pain control and reduces the need for strong…

This study aimed to find out if a steroid pill (methylprednisolone) could help people feel better after nose surgery (rhinoplasty). It planned to test if the pill reduced pain, nausea, swelling, and bruising in the days after the operation. The trial was withdrawn before any pati…

This trial aimed to test if a new, minimally invasive surgery for hemorrhoids causes less pain after the operation compared to the standard method. It planned to randomly assign adult patients with severe hemorrhoids to one of the two surgical groups. The main goal was to measure…

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain after keyhole gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers are comparing a newer nerve-blocking injection in the chest wall to the standard method of numbing the small incision sites. The goal is to see which technique provides bett…

This study is testing if a specific nerve block, given during surgery, can better control pain afterward for people having neck disc surgery. It compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one helps patients feel less pain and need fewer strong painkillers like tramadol. The …

This study compares two different nerve-block techniques to see which one better controls pain after major abdominal surgery. Doctors tested two methods—one targeting a deeper muscle layer and one targeting a sheath near the abdominal muscles—in 60 patients. The goal is to find w…

This study aims to understand why children react so differently to common pain medications like morphine after surgery. Researchers are collecting blood samples from 1,200 children having tonsil surgery to look for genetic markers that might predict who is more likely to have ser…

This study aims to understand if certain markers of inflammation in a person's blood can predict how well dental numbing injections will work and how much pain they might feel after a procedure. Researchers will enroll 150 adults with severe tooth pain who are scheduled for a roo…
