Effect of preoperative pregabalin on analgesia and interleukins after lumbotomy: prospective, randomized, comparative, double-blind study.

ABSTRACT: Background:Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant and has been used for postoperative analgesia. This study aimed to assess the effect of a single preoperative dose of pregabalin for analgesia after nephrectomy. Methods:The study was prospective, randomized, comparative, and double-blinded, conducted in 40 kidney transplant donors, between 18 and 60 years, American Society of Anesthesia physical status I or II. Epidural anesthesia was performed with 15 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine single shot and general anesthesia with 3 µg/kg of fentanyl, propofol, atracurium, and sevoflurane, and 50% of oxygen without nitrous oxide. Patients in group 1 were administered 300 mg of pregabalin and those in group 2 were administered placebo, in identical capsules, 1 hour prior to surgery. Postoperative analgesia was supplemented with tramadol. The following parameters were assessed: pain intensity after 6 and 24 hours; pain threshold, from the thenar and peri-incisional region, analgesic supplementation; ILs (IL6, IL8, and IL10) prior to surgery and after 6 and 24 hours. Results:The pain intensity was lower with pregabalin after 24 hours (G1: 2.5±2.4, G2: 3.0±2.6). There was no difference in the sensitivity of the thenar and peri-incisional region after 6 and 24 hours; in the number of patients requiring supplementation (G1=15%, G2=45%); concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10; and side effects (nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and pruritus). Conclusion:Pregabalin in a single preoperative dose of 300 mg reduced pain intensity 24 hours after lumbotomy.

Project description:BackgroundHemorrhoidectomy is associated with intense postoperative pain that requires multimodal analgesia. It includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, and local anesthetics to reach adequate pain control. There are data in literature preemptive analgesia could decrease postoperative pain after hemorrhoidectomy. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of preemptive analgesia with ketoprofen 100 mg 2 h before procedure per os with spinal anesthesia to decrease postoperative pain according to visual analog scale and to reduce the opioids and other analgesics consumption.MethodsPatients of our clinic who meet the following inclusion criteria are included: hemorrhoids grade III-IV and the planned Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy. After signing the consent all participants are randomly divided into 2 groups: the first one gets a tablet with 100 mg ketoprofen, the second one gets a tablet containing starch per os 2 h before surgery (72 participants per arm). Patients of both arms receive spinal anesthesia and undergo open hemorrhoidectomy. Following the procedure the primary and secondary outcomes are evaluated: opioid administration intake, the pain at rest and during defecation, duration, and frequency of other analgesics intake, readmission rate, overall quality of life, time from the procedure to returning to work, and the complications rate.DiscussionMultimodality pain management has been shown to improve pain control and decrease opioid intake in patients after hemorrhoidectomy in several studies. Gabapentin can be considered as an alternative approach to pain control as NSAIDs have limitative adverse effects. Systemic admission of ketorolac with local anesthetics also showed significant efficacy in patients undergoing anorectal surgery. We hope to prove the efficacy of multimodal analgesia including preemptive one for patients undergoing excisional hemorrhoidectomy that will help to hold postoperative pain levels no more than 3-4 points on VAS with minimal consumption of opioid analgesics.Trial registrationClinicalTrial.gov NCT04361695 .

Project description:IntroductionBreast surgery may be associated with significant postoperative pain and if not adequately treated, may lead to the development of chronic post-surgical pain. This necessitates the use of effective management, involving the use a multimodal analgesia regimen for the management of post breast surgery pain. The analgesic effect of perioperative use of dexamethasone has been explored but findings have been inconsistent.AimThe aim of this study was to determine the postoperative analgesic enhancing effect of a single preoperative dose of dexamethasone on patients undergoing breast surgery at a tertiary hospital in Ghana.Materials and methodsThis was a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 94 consecutively recruited patients. Patients were randomized into two groups: dexamethasone (n = 47) and placebo (n = 47). Patients in the dexamethasone group had 8mg (2 mL of 4 mg/mL) dexamethasone and those in the placebo group had 2 mL of saline administered intravenously just before induction of anaesthesia. All patients received a standard general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The numerical rating score (NRS), time to first analgesic request and the total opioid consumed in the first 24 h were recorded.ResultsPatients receiving dexamethasone had lower NRS scores at all measured time points but this was significant only at 8 h post-surgery (P = 0.037). The time to first rescue analgesia was significantly prolonged in the dexamethasone group (339.26 ± 312.90 min vs. 182.10 ± 166.72 min; P = 0.020). However, the mean total opioid (pethidine) consumed in the first 24 h postoperatively was not significantly different between the dexamethasone and control groups (113.75 ± 51.35 mg vs. 100.00 ± 60.93 mg; P = 0.358).ConclusionA single preoperative dose of 8mg dexamethasone given intravenously, reduces postoperative pain compared to placebo, significantly reduces the time to first analgesia but not the total opioid consumed in the first 24 h post breast surgery.

Project description:BackgroundA newly designed intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device with a dual-channel elastomeric infusion pump has been recently introduced. One channel is a continuous line with a constant flow rate basal infusion, while the other channel has an adjustable flow rate and bolus function and is labeled as a selector-bolus channel. This study compared dual and single-channel intravenous PCA in terms of clinical effect and quality of recovery.MethodsEighty-four patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy were randomly allocated to a 1-channel group (n = 41) or a 2-channel group (n = 43). Only the selector-bolus channel was utilized, but the continuous channel was not utilized in the 1-channel group, but both channels were utilized in the 2-channel group. In the 1-channel group, 16 μg/kg of fentanyl, 2 mg/kg of ketorolac, and 12 mg of ondansetron with normal saline were administered to the selector-bolus channel and normal saline only in the continuous channel for blinding. In the 2-channel group, 16 μg/kg of fentanyl was administered to the selector-bolus channel, and ketorolac (2 mg/kg) and ondansetron (12 mg) were administered via the continuous channel. The quality of recovery was evaluated preoperatively and 24 h postoperatively using the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40). Cumulative PCA consumption, postoperative pain rated using the numeric rating scale (NRS; during rest/cough), and postoperative nausea were evaluated 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h after surgery. Incidence of vomiting and use of antiemetics and rescue analgesics was measured.ResultsThe 24-h postoperative QoR-40 score was higher in the 2-channel group than in the 1-channel group (P=0.031). The incidence of nausea at 12 h and 36 h was significantly higher in the 1-channel group (P=0.043 and 0.040, respectively), and antiemetic use was more frequent in the 1-channel group (P=0.049). Patient satisfaction was higher in the 2-channel group (P=0.036). No significant differences were observed in pain scores during resting/cough or cumulative PCA consumption.ConclusionsThe 2-channel PCA showed better patient satisfaction with higher QoR-40 during the recovery compared with the 1-channel PCA. Better satisfaction was associated with lower nausea and reduced rescue antiemetics by maintaining the infusion of adjuvant analgesic agents and antiemetic agents constantly by utilizing dual channels.Trial registrationRegistered at ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT04082039 on 9 September 2019.

Project description:Pregabalin is a medication that can decrease neuronal hyperexcitability, relieve neuropathic pain, and reach stable plasma levels after a titration period of only a few days.Its use during oxaliplatin infusions was not able to decrease the incidence of chronic, oxalipaltin-related neuropathic pain, compared with placebo.Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) receiving oxaliplatin (OXA) develop acute and chronic painful oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OXAIPN). Acute and chronic OXA-related neuropathies have different pathophysiological bases, but both lead to a common phenomenon: central sensitization (CS) of nociceptive neuronal networks, leading to increased sensitivity (hyperlgesia, allodynia) in the somatosensory system, the common ground of chronic neuropathic pain. Because CS is related to increased risk of painful OXAIPN, we hypothesized that preemptive use of the anti-hyperalgesic drug pregabaline (known to decrease CS) during OXA infusions would decrease the incidence of chronic OXAIPN.Pain-free, chemotherapy-naïve CRC patients receiving at least one cycle of modified-FLOX [5-FU(500 mg/m2)+leucovorin(20 mg/m2)/week for] 6 weeks+oxaliplatin(85 mg/m2) at weeks 1-3-5 every 8 weeks] were randomized (1:1) into the study. Patients received either pregabalin or placebo for 3 days before and 3 days after each OXA infusion and were followed for up to 6 months. Clinical assessments were performed at baseline, at the end of chemotherapy, and after the follow-up period. The main outcome was average pain at the last visit assessed by the visual analogic scale (0-10) item of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Secondary endpoints were presence of neuropathic pain according to the Douleur Neuropathique-4 (DN-4), pain dimensions (short- form McGill Pain Questionnaire [MPQ]), Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI), and changes in nerve conduction studies (NCS) and side effect profile.One hundred ninety-nine patients (57.0?±?10.7 years old, 98 female, 101 male) were randomized. Data from 56 patients were not included in the analyses (as they did not receive at least one full cycle of modified FLOX). Data from 78 patients in the pregabalin group and 65 patients in the placebo group were retained for analyses. At the last visit, pain intensity in the pregabalin group was 1.03 (95% confidence interval [CI]?=?0.79-1.26), and 0.85 (95% CI?=?0.64-1.06) in the placebo group, which did not reach significance. Scores from the BPI, MPQ, DN-4, NPSI, and NCS and side-effect profiles and incidence of death did not differ between groups. Quality of life (QoL) score did not differ between groups (placebo?=?76.9?±?23.1, pregabalin group 79.4?±?20.6). Mood scores were not significantly different between groups (placebo 9.7 [8.1-11.2]; pregabalin 6.8 [5.6-8.0]).The preemptive use of pregabalin during OXA infusions was safe, but did not decrease the incidence of chronic pain related to OXAIPN.
