Post-thyroidectomy pain is a prevalent early postoperative complication. While pharmacological agents remain the mainstay of analgesia, their clinical application is constrained by adverse effects including nausea, respiratory depression, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation based on wrist-ankle acupuncture theory (TENS-WAA) is a non-invasive analgesic modality that has demonstrated preliminary …
Around 4,000-5,000 bariatric (weight-loss) operations are performed in Sweden every year. Nausea, vomiting and pain are common immediately after these operations, cause considerable suffering and increase the intensity and length of hospital care. Bariatric surgery is one of the procedures with the highest risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV): …
This prospective observational study aims to describe the effectiveness of MC on pain, epilepsy, sleep and /or anxiety/depression in a cohorts of patients authorized to use MC, using pre-defined, validated self assessment scales.
Rationale Patients with chest pain usually undergo multiple diagnostic examinations to demonstrate or rule out atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). In addition to high healthcare costs, some of the examinations do not assess the presence of CAD, which means that patients may be undertreated and are at risk for myocardial …
Rationale: Patients with stable chest pain enter a diagnostic pathway where Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) is often the first line non-invasive test to detect coronary stenosis. An anatomically significant (≥ 50% luminal narrowing) stenosis on CCTA does however not always cause cardiac ischemia (i.e. hemodynamically significant stenosis). CCTA is …
The goal of this study is to determine if rapid outpatient evaluation vs hospitalization management is the best strategy (based on patient-centered measures and safe, equitable, and efficient resource use) for evaluating patients with acute chest pain who are at moderate risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients will be …
The lifetime prevalence of chest pain in the general population is 20-40%. The etiologies to be evoked from the outset of management are those of cardiovascular origin, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and pulmonary embolism. ACS is responsible for almost 20% of deaths. Delay in treatment is a major …
The current practice to avoid incisional hernia, one of the most frequent complications following abdominal surgery, is to minimize core muscle activity in the postoperative phase. However, there is no evidence to support the association of core muscle activity and increased incidence of incisional hernia. On the contrary, it is …
The goal of this Registry is to see how the device is used when freezing nerves during an amputation procedure.
Persistent postoperative pain is a globally recognized issue that deserves attention. Cesarean section is one of the surgeries that may cause persistent postoperative pain. PSPP may affect communication between mother and baby, and may lead to postpartum depression, which has a negative impact on the daily activities and quality of …
