Filter by: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.
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 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.
The proposed study aims to evaluate a pilot emergency department (ED) digital pain self-management intervention (EDPSI) focused on improving self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills, thus reducing the transition from acute to chronic low back pain in ED patients discharged with axial acute low back pain (aLBP). The proposed research has significant potential to improve self-efficacy (the confidence in one's ability to manage their condition) which is one of the most potent factors for improved health outcomes.
Prehospital treatment of acute traumatic pain is common in military practice. Analgesics are usually administered intravenously (IV). Research from the civil prehospital environment shows that obtaining IV access can be difficult and time consuming, delaying onset of treatment. The challenges for obtaining IV access in the military prehospital setting are even bigger, for example in combat environments. However, this has not been assessed. Current guidelines also offer alternative routes of administration for analgesics, for example intranasal (IN) administration. IN administration is a fast, easy and effective route of administration. This study determines whether IN administration of analgesia is faster and leads to increased healthcare provider satisfaction compared to IV administration in patients with acute traumatic pain in a simulated military prehospital environment.
This prospective study is planned as a randomized controlled study with the purpose of determining the effect of Mother's Touch and Nurse's Therapeutic Touch on pain levels and crying times by newborns during heel blood collection.
This prospective study is planned as a randomized controlled study with the purpose of determining the effect of kangaroo care and swaddling methods on pain levels and crying times by newborns during heel blood collection.
Herpes zoster (HZ) is a skin infection disease which cause severe zoster-associated pain (ZAP) along sensory nerve in the corresponding segment. Evidence for the efficacy of existing local therapies for acute/subacute ZAP is limited. The hypothesis is that patients with acute/subacute ZAP treated with TPIs with local anesthetic and steroids under the basis of standard treatment will show better clinical outcomes compared with subjects treated with standard antiviral medicine treatment only.
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has begun to be performed frequently in recent years. Compared to sternotomy, MISC reduces the risk of mediastinitis, leaves a more aesthetic scar, facilitates postoperative rehabilitation, and shortens the hospital stay. MICS requires a thoracic incision in the right 4th or 5th intercostal space. This incision causes intense and long-lasting pain in the postoperative period. Pain is exacerbated by breathing movements, coughing, and respiratory physiotherapy. Postoperative analgesia is a critical risk factor for the development of pulmonary and cardiovascular complications in any type of cardiothoracic surgery. If patients with high pain levels cannot breathe effectively, it may lead to atelectasis, cardiac ischemia, and arrhythmias. This prolongs the time it takes for patients to be discharged and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. In addition to intravenous medications, various neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks can be used in cardiac surgery. In recent years, thoracic epidural analgesia has been avoided due to the use of intraoperative high-dose heparin. As an alternative, peripheral nerve blocks have recently gained popularity. SAPB is one of them. SAPB can be applied in three ways. While deep SAPB (DSAPB) is applied under the serratus anterior muscle, superficial SAPB (SSAPB) is applied above the serratus anterior muscle. Combined SAPB (CSAPB) is applied both below and above the serratus anterior muscle. These blocks can be performed with a single injection anywhere between the second and seventh ribs on the lateral chest wall. In this study, the analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided CSAPB application in patients undergoing MICS will be evaluated.
