conclusions the findings of this study indicate that oral pregabalin (300 mg dose) can alleviate patients’ pain and nausea/vomiting and notably reduce adverse effects. results a total of 60 patients were compared; 30 patients in each of the pregabalin and control groups. both groups were similar in age and sex distribution. mean pain intensity levels during the whole follow up were lower in the...

conclusions the study results demonstrated that preemptive use of dextromethorphan reduced postoperative pain and opioid consumption. patients and methods this double blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on arthroscopic surgery candidates. participants were randomly allocated to interventions and assigned to two groups of dextromethorphan and placebo. in dextromethorphan group, the pat...

results sixty patients completed the study. patients in the hydrocortisone group had no statistically significant abdominal and shoulder pain scores compared to the bupivacaine group. the patients were similar regarding postoperative analgesic requirements, return of bowel function, nausea and vomiting. no adverse effect was detected in either group. background postoperative pain is a major com...

background: this randomized controlled study was designed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of intraperitoneal ketamine versus bupivacaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. methods: we randomly divided 60 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy into two groups. the intervention group patients received intraperitoneal ketamine (0.5 mg/ kg) dilut...

background: acute postoperative pain is an important surgical side effect that may delay patient discharge in ambulatory operations; moreover, the strategies used to alleviate pain may cause side effects that require longer hospitalization to recover. in this clinical trial, we compared two current anesthetic methods with special concerns about postoperative pain intensity beside other importan...

introduction: root canal preparation techniques may cause postoperative pain. the aim of the present study was to compare the intensity of postoperative pain after endodontic treatment using hand files, single file rotary (oneshape), and single file reciprocating (reciproc) systems. methods and materials: in this single-blind, parallel-grouped randomized clinical trial a total of 150 healthy pa...

conclusions tap-block in conjunction with laparoscopic nephrectomy did not reduce pain or opioid consumption. on the contrary, it seemed to prolong surgical time. results mean surgical time was 162 minutes in group a and 92 minutes in group b (p < 0.0001). the means of visual analogue scale (vas) were 3.05 and 1.55 in a and b groups, respectively (p = 0.001). the means of morphine consumption w...

conclusions: patients who were given ketamine before or after cesarean section subcutaneously at incision site had lower pain intensity and less analgesic consumption than patients who were given placebo. patients and methods: sixty patients, aged between 18 and 25 years old, scheduled for elective cesarean section, were enrolled to this double-blind randomized controlled trial study. patients ...

knee surgery. the purpose of this study was to assess the analgesic effects of intra-articular injection of a dexmedetomidine following knee arthroscopy. methods:   forty six patients schadualed for arthroscopic knee surgery under general anaesthesia, were randomly devided into two groups. intervention group received 1μg/kg dexmedetomidine (d) and isotonic saline. control group received 25ml is...
