Comparison of Continuous Epidural Infusion vs. Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus Combined With Patient-Controlled Epidural Analgesia for Labor Pain Relief: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Summary: The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of two epidural analgesia maintenance methods for labor pain relief: Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus (PIEB) and Continuous Epidural Infusion (CEI), both combined with Patient-Controlled Epidural Analgesia (PCEA). The study aims to evaluate which technique provides superior analgesia while minimizing anesth...
Perineural Dexamethasone Versus Perineural Dexmedetomidine as Adjuvants to Ropivacaine in iPACK and Adductor Canal Blocks for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial
Summary: This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial is designed to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of perineural dexamethasone versus perineural dexmedetomidine as adjuvants to ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK) and adductor canal blocks in patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA)...
A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Controlled Trial Comparing Perineural Dexamethasone, Dexmedetomidine, and Their Combination as Adjuvants to Ropivacaine for Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block in Pediatric Patients
Summary: This clinical study will evaluate three commonly used medications that can be added to local anesthetic during a popliteal sciatic nerve block in children undergoing surgery of the lower leg or foot. These medications-dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, or a combination of both-may help the nerve block last longer and provide better postoperative pain control. All participating children will receive a...
Route of Dexamethasone Administration in iPACK and ACB for Total Knee Replacement: A Randomized Trial
Summary: The Effect of Dexamethasone Administration Route on Pain and Inflammatory Response in iPACK With ACB for Total Knee Arthroplasty - written in plain language according to ClinicalTrials.gov standards: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how the route of dexamethasone administration (either through the vein or nerve block) affects pain and inflammation in people having total knee replacement...
Comparison of Adductor Canal Block Combined With Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Adductor Canal Block Combined With iPACK Block in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Tria
Summary: This study will compare two regional anesthesia strategies for pain management after total knee arthroplasty in adults. Both strategies use an adductor canal block (ACB) to provide analgesia while preserving quadriceps muscle strength. The ACB is then combined with either a sacral erector spinae plane block (S-ESPB) or an iPACK (infiltration between the popliteal artery and the posterior capsule o...
Determination of the 90% Effective Volume (ED90) of Epidural 0.1% Ropivacaine and Fentanyl for Labor Analgesia Initiation in Patients Receiving a Dural-Puncture Epidural Technique
Summary: This study is being done to determine the most effective dose of medicine to use to initially provide effective pain relief within the first 30 minutes of receiving an epidural for pain labor during labor. The study team will also study any side effects related to the epidural medication and patients' satisfaction with the quality of pain relief after receiving the epidural.
Continuous Infusion Pump Versus Single Shot Peripheral Block for Pain Management After Same-day Orthopaedic Surgery
Objectives: The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness of postoperative infusion pain pump versus preoperative nerve block in reducing visual analog pain scores/numerical pain rating scale (VAS/NPRS) in the postoperative period. The second objective is to evaluate the requirement of narcotic and non-narcotic analgesic medications between the two groups. Hypotheses: Use of continuous infusion pain p...
Efficacy of Ropivacaine Epinephrine Clonidine Ketorolac (R.E.C.K) vs Exparel in Robotic Nephrectomy: a Randomized, Prospective Trial
Summary: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of R.E.C.K (ropivacaine epinephrine clonidine ketorolac) vs Exparel during robotic partial and radical nephrectomy in a single institution, prospective, randomized trial. The study will evaluate post operative Numerical Rating Score (NRS) pain scores, post operative pain medication intake (opioids and over-the-counter pain medicines) and length ...
Expanding the Peri-operative Surgical Home Model: ERAS TKR With a Transitional Pain Service (TeleTPS) - Continuous Adductor Canal Catheter Versus Adductor Canal Block for Total Knee Arthroplasty, a Randomized Double-blinded Controlled Trial.
Summary: The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to assess opioid consumption 24-48 hrs post anesthesia block among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The main question it aims to answer is: 1\. Is there a difference in opioid consumption 24-48 hours post block administration among patients that receive an adductor canal catheter (ACC) versus adductor canal block (ACB)? Participants wil...
The Effect of Multimodal Pain Regimen on Use of Narcotics After Rotator Cuff Tear Repair
Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to understand which group of pain control medications work best in adults after rotator cuff surgery.
Comparison of Suprainguinal Fascia Iliac Block With and Without Dexmedetomidine as an Adjunct to Ropivacaine for Postoperative Analgesia Following Hip Surgery: a Randomized, Double-blinded Study.
Summary: The investigators are evaluating postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing hip replacement surgery performed with either spinal or general anesthesia, who also receive a suprainguinal fascia iliaca block using either perineural ropivacaine alone or ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine.
Comparative Experimental Study Between Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine Regarding Efficacy in Third Molar Removal Surgery Under General Anesthesia
Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of bupivacaine and ropivacaine in third molar removal surgery under general anesthesia in healthy volunteers. The main question aims to determine whether there is any difference in vital signs, hemostasis and postoperative pain between ropivacaine and bupivacaine in patients undergoing third molars extraction under general anesthesia.
