This study compares two ways to manage pain after foot or heel surgery: using a small tube (catheter) that delivers medication over several days, or a single nerve-numbing injection. Researchers want to see which method works better for your recovery.
This trial tests if hypnosis can reduce pain when getting stitches in the emergency room. If you have a stitchable wound and are at least 18 years old, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether using hypnosis during stitches in the emergency room can reduce pain. If you need a single stitch for a wound, this approach might help you feel less discomfort.
This trial tests whether talking with a nurse and using hypnosis before surgery can reduce the need for pain medicine during and after surgery. It aims to help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects from opioids.
This trial tests whether listening to music during a toe amputation (a surgery to remove a toe) can help improve your experience. The surgery is done with spinal anesthesia, which means you are awake but numb from the waist down. If you qualify, you might be randomly assigned to listen to music during the procedure or to receive standard care without music.
This study tests whether giving an extra numbing medicine (lidocaine) through an IV during your amputation surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It may help you feel less pain and use fewer pain medications after surgery.
