POSTOPERATIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT

This study compares two different nerve block techniques for managing pain after coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers will enroll 64 adults aged 45-85 to see which method provides better pain relief in the first two days after surgery. The study measures pain levels, opioi…

This study looks back at the medical records of 60 women who had a planned C-section to see which of two pain-relieving nerve block techniques worked better. The goal is to find out if one method leads to a better recovery experience for new mothers in the first day after surgery…

This study aims to see if a specific type of targeted pain control, given via ultrasound-guided injections, is linked to fewer serious lung problems after major abdominal surgery. Researchers will observe 500 patients aged 65 and older who are having planned surgery. They will co…

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. Researchers will compare three common pain relief methods in 120 patients to see which provides the most effective pain control with the fewest side effects. The goal is to help patients r…

This study compares two approaches to managing pain after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers will test whether adding a second nerve block to the standard single nerve block provides better pain relief. The study involves 60 patients who will be randomly assigned to rece…

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain after open groin hernia surgery. Researchers will compare a targeted nerve block performed with ultrasound to the standard method of numbing medicine placed in the surgical wound. The goal is to see which method better reduces p…

This study aims to find the smallest effective dose of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for a specific type of pain-relief injection given after minimally invasive lung surgery. Researchers will test different amounts in a small group of patients to find the dose that works for h…

This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation on the ear can help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after complex spine surgery. Researchers will enroll 98 patients having major spinal operations. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either rea…

This study aims to find the best method for managing pain after minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will compare three different pain control techniques—local numbing injections, a back nerve block, and a small spinal dose of morphine—in 132 adult patients…

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain after back stabilization surgery. Researchers will compare two different nerve-blocking techniques to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects. The study will involve 60 adults undergoing planned back surger…

This study compares two different intravenous drug combinations to see which one provides better pain relief after vaginal hysterectomy surgery. Researchers will measure pain levels and medication needs in 50 female patients during the first 24 hours after their procedure. The go…

This study is testing whether placing special antibiotic beads that also release pain medicine directly into the surgical area during spine surgery can help people recover better. Researchers will compare this approach to standard pain treatments to see if it reduces pain, shorte…

This study aims to find the better method for managing pain after a common back surgery called lumbar microdiscectomy. Researchers will compare two ultrasound-guided nerve-block techniques given before surgery to see which one reduces the need for opioid painkillers and improves …

This study aims to find the best way to give methadone, a strong pain medication, to patients during heart surgery. Researchers will compare three different dosing schedules in 69 patients to see which one provides the most effective and consistent pain relief after the operation…

This study tests whether a new FDA-approved non-opioid pain medication called Suzetrigine can reduce patients' need for opioid painkillers after common outpatient knee surgeries. Researchers will compare pain control and side effects between patients receiving the new drug versus…

This study aims to gather precise measurements for placing nerve blocks in children undergoing penile surgery. Researchers will measure exactly where and how deep to insert needles to reach the correct nerve for pain relief. The goal is to create better guidelines for doctors per…

This study aims to understand if the length of time and oxygen levels in the brain during a specific type of lung surgery affect patients' memory, thinking, and pain after the operation. Researchers will observe 30 patients aged 65 and older who are having this surgery. They will…

This study aims to understand if diabetes affects how well a specific type of pain-blocking injection (an ankle block) works for patients having foot or ankle surgery. Researchers will observe and compare 46 patients—some with diabetes and some without—to see how quickly the pain…

This study aims to understand how much strong pain medication (opioids) patients need after major chest surgery (thoracotomy) and what factors influence their pain and recovery. Researchers will observe 35 adult patients having this surgery to see if the amount of pain medication…
