This RCT compares three drainage approaches after minimally invasive esophagectomy (chest tube + thoracic mediastinal drainage tube, thoracic, and abdominal mediastinal drainage tube) to evaluate perioperative outcomes, addressing current evidence gaps in pain and complication profiles.
This study aims to evaluate and compare the analgesic efficacy of two ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques, the serratus anterior plane (SAP) block and the serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block, in patients undergoing elective mastectomy surgery. Postoperative pain following mastectomy is a common and significant clinical problem that negatively …
Information for Patients and Families What is this study about? When patients undergo functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), strong pain relievers called opioids are traditionally used during anesthesia. While effective, opioids can sometimes cause unwanted side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or prolonged recovery times. This study investigates an …
Adrenomedullin is a neuropeptide implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine. This study investigates whether its administration, after pre-treatment with erenumab (a CGRP-receptor blocking monoclonal antibody), can trigger migraine attacks in individuals with migraine without aura.
Combined spinal-epidural (CSE) is an established technique for providing labour analgesia to obstetric patients which provides rapid onset but unsustained analgesia. The epidural catheter can be used to extend and provide continuous pain relief, however during single-segment needle-through-needle CSE, the catheter is untested. This study aims to confirm placement of …
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 …
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, …
Wrist fractures are the most prevalent adult fracture. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a common complication that can occur, leading to permanent disability and is costly to the patient and healthcare system. In addition, amidst the opioid epidemic, the risk of increased opioid use in patients with CRPS prompts …
Kettlebell exercises are seen as one of the approaches that can be used conservatively in individuals with shoulder pain. However, it is still unknown what results it has on its therapeutic effects. These findings highlight the need for higher quality studies evaluating the effects of kettlebell use and exercises for …
Traumatic peripheral nerve injury is a common cause of chronic neuropathic pain, muscle weakness, and functional limitation, particularly in young and active individuals. Current conservative and pharmacological treatments often provide incomplete relief or carry side effects. High-intensity peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) is a non-invasive method that may help reduce neuropathic …
