Efficacy of modified auriculotherapy for post-operative pain control in patients subjected to laparoscopic cholecystectomy

[Efficacy of modified auriculotherapy for post-operative pain control in patients subjected to laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

BACKGROUND The high frequency of post-operative pain in the patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has led to the need to use multiple analgesic therapies. These include auriculotherapy, although not very good results have been obtained with the traditional techniques. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of modified auriculotherapy for post-operative pain control in laparoscopic chol...

Post laparoscopic pain control using local anesthesia through laparoscopic ports

Introduction: Although patients do not experience sever pain after laparoscopic surgery, most of them experience acute or chronic pain afterward. While conventional pain killers including NSAID and narcotics in laparoscopic surgery have specific side effects, their application is inevitable. This study compares the efficacy of local anesthetic drugs and conventional pain killers in post-operati...

Randomized, Prospective Comparison of Post-Operative Pain In Low - Versus High -Pressure Pneumoperitoneum in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Background and Objectives: CO2 insuflation constitutes the commonest means of creating the pneumoperitoneum (PP), but it is attributed to many post-laparoscopic cholecystecomy adverse effects including pain triggering. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy of low-pressure CO2 PP during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in reducing the incidence of postoperative pain. Methods: A dou...

Efficacy of Additives to Morphine Pumps in Post-Operative Pain Control of Addicted Patients

Acute pain management in opioid dependent patients remains a challenging and complex problem and it is becoming more common (1). In the acute pain setting, in addition to their daily opioid maintenance these patients need a multimodal approach (1). Imani et al. in their study have shown that instead of simply increasing the dosage of morphine, using morphine in addition to chlorpromazine, prome...
