Efficacy of Multimodal Peri- and Intraarticular Drug Injections in Total Knee Arthroplasty
Completed
Asker & Baerum Hospital
Phase 4
2007-11-01
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain,
causing patient discomfort, mobilisation and hospital discharge.
The aim of this study is to:
1. Compare analgetic efficacy of to types of local infiltration analgesia in total knee
arthroplasty.
2. Compare analgetic efficacy of local infiltration analgesia with continuous epidural
analgesia.
Efficacy of the Transversus Abdominus Plane (TAP) Block for Post-Cesarean Delivery Analgesia
Completed
Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital
N/A
2007-12-01
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients having the transversus abdominal place
(TAP) block at the end of a cesarean delivery have less pain in the post-delivery period than
those who do not. Freezing medication is injected between the layers of muscle on either side
of the belly, to freeze the nerves that carry pain stimuli from an abdominal wound. This
technique has been useful for many abdominal operations, and has recently been studied in
cesarean sections, however more information is needed.
Postoperative Pain Treatment in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Study to Assess the Effect of Local Analgesia
Completed
Vejle Hospital
Phase 4
2008-01-01
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the investigator standardized pain
treatment plus local pain treatment is more effective than the investigator standardized pain
treatment plus placebo in total hip arthroplasty.
Ultrasound Guidance for Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block
Completed
University of Parma
Phase 4
2008-05-01
This study has been designed to assess the possible advantages of using ultrasound imaging to
block the brachial plexus (i.e., nerves of the upper limb) in patients undergoing shoulder
surgery.
The ultrasound technique will be compared with the current gold standard, electrical nerve
stimulation.
The aim of this study is to define which technique is better in terms of time to onset of
anesthesia.
