POSTOPERATIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT

This study tested whether a new drug called HSK21542 injection works better or is safer than morphine or a placebo for managing pain after hip replacement surgery. It involved 161 adults who had just undergone surgery and were experiencing significant pain. Researchers compared h…

This study tested a combination of two pain-relief drugs given directly into the abdomen during keyhole gallbladder surgery. It aimed to see if this mix provided better and longer-lasting pain relief after the operation compared to using just one of the drugs. The goal was to hel…

This study aimed to find the most effective nerve-blocking technique for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Researchers compared three different injection methods in 45 patients. They measured patients' pain levels and how much strong pain medication they needed …

This study compared two ways to manage pain after a type of chest surgery called video-assisted thoracoscopy in obese patients. Researchers tested whether a targeted nerve block injection (Erector Spinae Plane Block) was safer and more effective than standard intravenous pain med…

This study tested whether a specific nerve block, called an Erector Spinae Plane Block, could help manage pain after robotic colorectal surgery. The goal was to see if this block could reduce the need for strong opioid painkillers, help patients move sooner, and improve comfort a…

This study tested whether adding a sedative drug (dexmedetomidine) to a standard painkiller pump improves pain control after lung surgery. It involved 102 male smokers who had part of a lung removed. Researchers compared three different pain pump formulas to see which one best re…

This study looked at which combination of nerve blocks works best to control pain after major abdominal surgery for gynecologic cancers. Researchers observed 94 patients who received different nerve block combinations as part of their standard anesthesia care. They compared pain …

This study aimed to find out which of two common drugs works better for pain relief after keyhole gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers compared intravenous lidocaine against magnesium sulphate in 168 patients. They measured patients' pain levels over 24 hours after surgery to…

This study tested which of two drugs, ketamine or magnesium sulphate, provides better pain relief after keyhole gallbladder removal surgery. It involved 78 patients who were randomly assigned to receive one of the drugs during their operation. Researchers measured their pain leve…

This study tested whether using anesthesia without opioids during gallbladder removal surgery could lead to better recovery. Researchers compared 101 patients who received either standard opioid-based anesthesia or an opioid-free combination of other medications. The opioid-free …

This study tested two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after heart surgery. Researchers compared a standard nerve block against a combination of two blocks in 42 adult patients. The goal was to see which approach provided better pain control while reducing the need…

This study tested if a simple, non-drug method could help people feel better after gallbladder surgery. Researchers had 82 patients try applying a hot-water bottle to their feet for short periods after their operation. They wanted to see if this reduced pain and abdominal bloatin…

This study tested whether injecting a local anesthetic (bupivacaine) into the surgical site during a vaginal hysterectomy helps reduce pain after surgery. It involved 48 women who were randomly assigned to receive either the injection or no injection, with all receiving standard …

This study tested different types of nerve-block injections to manage pain after open-heart surgery. Researchers compared three injection techniques to see which one best reduced pain, especially from surgical drain sites, and lowered the need for strong opioid painkillers. The t…

This study tested whether a nerve block could help people recover better after open-heart surgery. Researchers compared a targeted nerve-blocking injection to standard opioid painkillers in 66 patients. They measured pain levels, recovery speed, and other health factors for two d…

This study compared two different nerve block techniques to see which one better controls pain after breast cancer surgery. Researchers tested these methods on 88 women undergoing mastectomy, measuring their pain levels and need for strong painkillers over 24 hours. The goal was …

This study tested whether a special interactive floor, which responds to movement with lights and sounds, could help children after surgery. Researchers compared 84 kids aged 3-6 who used the fun floor for walking to kids who walked in a regular hospital hallway. The main goal wa…

This study tested if listening to relaxing music before and during a common prostate surgery could help patients feel less anxious and have less pain afterward. 135 men were randomly assigned to either listen to instrumental music or receive standard care without music. Researche…

This study tested two different ways to numb the abdominal area after keyhole surgery to see which one better controls pain. Doctors compared using an ultrasound machine to guide the numbing injection versus using the surgical camera (laparoscope) to guide it. They measured patie…

This study compared two different nerve-blocking techniques for managing pain after hip fracture surgery in older adults. Researchers tested which method provided better pain relief at different times after surgery and which reduced the need for strong pain medications. The study…

This study tested if a specific nerve block given before a common kidney stone surgery could improve pain relief afterward. 70 patients were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard pain care. Researchers measured pain levels, opioid medication use, and sid…

This study tested whether shining a special low-level laser on the roof of the mouth could help after gum graft surgery. Thirty-six healthy adults who had the surgery were randomly assigned to get the laser treatment right after surgery or just the standard care. Researchers then…

This study tested whether a structured training program could improve healthcare workers' knowledge and attitudes about patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps. PCA pumps let patients self-administer pain medication safely after surgery. Researchers surveyed 242 doctors, nurses,…
