Filter by:In this study, the effect of the therapeutic game applied before treatment on pain, fear, anxiety and physiological parameters and the satisfaction of the parents was investigated.
This interventional study aims to test gait biomechanics in healthy individuals with and without experimental muscle pain in the lower extremities. The study aims to: A) Examine how experimental muscle pain in different types of muscles (ankle plantar-flexion, knee extension, and flexion muscles) affects kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activation Participants will receive six muscle injections: a) Hypertonic saline (painful condition) and b) Isotonic saline (control condition) in 1) m. gastrocnemius, 2) m. semitendinosus, and 3) m. biceps femoris.
Objectives: To prospectively evaluate the potential of acu-TENS to reduce the pain experienced by women undergoing ultrasound-guided manual vacuum aspiration (USG-MVA) and evaluate its safety profile. Hypothesis to be tested: Does the use of acu-TENS reduce pain in women undergoing USG-MVA? Design and subjects: A prospective randomized control trial will be carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Prince of Wales Hospital. Women undergoing USG-MVA for the treatment of early pregnancy loss before 12 weeks of gestation will be randomized to receive acu-TENS (intervention group) or sham acu-TENS (control group) for pain control during USG-MVA. We will recruit 54 participants in each of the two arms, so a total of 108 patients will be recruited. Study instruments: USG-MVA will be performed using a 60ml charged syringe (MedGyn Aspiration Kit) with a flexible curette attached to it. Transabdominal ultrasound during the MVA procedure will be performed using Mindray DC-80A Diagnostic Ultrasound System. Acu-TENS will be performed using MTR+ Myolito Multifunctional Stimulator (MTRP-00003). Main outcome measures: Primary outcome includes pain scores before, during and after USG-MVA. Secondary outcomes include (1) stress levels measured by heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and salivary cortisol; (2) anxiety level; (3) Surgeon's assessment on the patient co-operation score and patient intraoperative pain, (4) Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ8) and satisfaction score, and (5) any adverse events of acu-TENS. Data analysis: Data analysis will be performed using the Statistical Packages of Social Sciences for Windows (SPSS, Inc). Expected results: We expect that acu-TENS will result in at least a 35% reduction in pain experienced by women undergoing USG-MVA.
Open cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the gallbladder through a traditional, open abdominal incision the surgeon makes an incision in the upper abdomen, exposes the gallbladder, and carefully disconnects and removes it. Postoperative pain management is a critical aspect of patient care following cholecytectomy surgery. Inadequate pain control can lead to a cascade of complications, including atelectasis, pneumonia, and delayed mobilization. These complications can prolong hospital stays, increase healthcare costs, and lead to patient dissatisfaction. Regional anesthesia techniques, such as subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block abd erector spinae block are commonly used to provide effective analgesia after cholecystectomy surgery. These techniques target the nerves that supply the surgical site, providing pain relief without the need for opioids. Opioids are associated with a number of side effects, including nausea, vomiting, constipation, and respiratory depression. Subcostal TAP block is a relatively new technique that has been shown to be effective in providing postoperative analgesia after upper abdominal surgery. This technique involves injecting local anesthetic into the TAP, a fascial plane that lies between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. The TAP block provides anesthesia to the nerves that supply the abdominal wall, including the subcostal nerves. Erector Spinae Plane Block is a newer technique targeting the dorsal rami of the T7-T12 spinal nerves, potentially offering broader analgesia encompassing the abdominal wall, thorax, and diaphragm. Early studies suggest improved pain control and respiratory function compared to traditional methods.
The aim of this study is to assess whether an intervention with open-label placebo (OLP) for non-specific pain in the emergency department is feasible.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Modified radical mastectomy, a surgical procedure in the treatment of breast cancer, is one of the standard treatments. Postoperative pain can seriously reduce the quality of life in patients, and inadequately treated acute pain can trigger chronic pain syndrome. Therefore, thoracic paravertebral block and thoracic epidural block are effective in postoperative analgesia. However, the use of these blocks is limited due to complications. In recent years, less invasive blocks, such as pectoral nerve block (PECS I-II), Serratus anterior plane block (SAPB), Erector spinae plane block (ESPB), and Serratus Posterior Superior intercostal Plane Block (SPSİPB) have been applied. In this study, it was aimed to compare the analgesic effectiveness of ESPB and SPSİPB applications in patients undergoing breast surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine which method is more effective in postoperative pain control in children undergoing iliac bone grafting for alveoloplasty under general anesthesia: ultrasound-guided transverse abdominal blockade or transversalis fascia plane block
This study is about a new pain relief medication called methoxyflurane. Pain from injuries, like broken bones, is a big reason people call ambulances. It's important to treat pain well because it can make people sick and slow down healing. But often, pain isn't treated enough, which can lead to more problems. Paramedics use different drugs to manage pain, but some are hard to give and need special training and equipment. Methoxyflurane is a new option. It's a gas you breathe in through a special inhaler. It's been used in Australia and New Zealand for a long time and has shown to work quickly and safely for different kinds of pain. This study wants to see if methoxyflurane works well for people with moderate to severe pain from injuries compared to other medicines like Advil, Tylenol and opioids. It's testing if methoxyflurane can give fast pain relief and if paramedics find it easy to use. The study will help understand if methoxyflurane could be a good option for treating pain in ambulances.
This study aims to analyze the effect of laparoscopic guided transversus abdominis plane (LG-TAP) block compared to placebo for postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. One group of participants received a (LG-TAP) block with local anesthetic while the other group received (LG-TAP) block with saline solution (placebo).
This is a double-arm randomized control trial evaluating the impact of preoperative opioid-free analgesia on time to trial of void in ambulatory urogynecologic surgeries. The investigators hypothesize that receipt of acetaminophen, celecoxib and gabapentin preoperatively versus acetaminophen alone will reduce the time to trial of void in patients undergoing same-day minor urogynecologic procedures.
