Rebound Pain Following Surgery With Regional Anesthesia Block

NCT05357105 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 119

Last updated 2025-03-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

For some kinds of surgery, Anesthesiologists provide nerve blocks (regional anesthesia) to reduce pain from surgery by injecting freezing medication around deep nerves with ultrasound. Nerve blocks help with pain control following surgery and reduce the amount of strong opioids needed but relatively little research has focused on the pain that occurs once the nerve block has worn off. This is called rebound or transition pain.

This research study will prospectively collect data including pain scores before, during and after nerve blocks are given for surgery. We will look at the type of nerve blocks and other analgesia medications used with the aim of quantifying rebound pain to better understand how to limit it's impact on quality postoperative pain control.

Conditions

  • Regional Anesthesia Morbidity
  • Pain, Postoperative

Interventions

OTHER

Numerical Pain Scales

Patients who are about to receive regional nerve blocks will be administered a numerical pain scale (NRS) before, during and after the offset of the nerve block.
