Blinded withdrawal of regular co-medication with paracetamol in chronic pain patients under strong opioids on pain control.
The Potential of Oxytocin to Reduce Opioid Abuse Liability and Pain Among Older Adults
Some research suggests that administration of oxytocin with oxycodone may reduce its abuse liability and improve its ability to reduce pain. In a 6-session laboratory study, we will be evaluating the effects of oxycodone and oxytocin (combined and separately, across sessions) on experimentally-induced pain, subjective effects, and decision-making.
Ultrasound-Guided Continuous Serratus Anterior Plane Block vs Dexmedetomidine Infusion in Patients With Rib Fractures.
The aim of this work is to compare analgesic efficacy in patients with multiple rib fractures who will be managed with Ultrasound-guided continuous serratus anterior plane block versus patients who will be managed with dexmedetomidine infusion.
