Filter by: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.
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.

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.
It can cause physiological and behavioral changes in infants such as pain, tachycardia, hypoxemia, increased blood pressure, grimacing, prolonged crying, and irritability. Vaccination is an important part of neonatal nursing care. Newborns express their pain nonverbally and behaviorally. Therefore, any pain assessment is based on the ability of others to recognize pain symptoms. This randomized controlled trial was planned to evaluate the effect of heart sound and white noise on pain and physiological parameters during intramuscular injection of hepatitis B vaccine in newborns. This randomized controlled study used parallel trial design.
Background: Kinesiophobia or fear of movement, is defined as an excessive and irrational fear of physical movement to avoid painful injury, harm or re-injury. The existing scales measuring kinesiophobia are thought to have some limitations (the difficulty of patients to understand and answer the questions, the presence of questions that are not suitable for the patient's condition). These questionnaires may not have specific questions enough to assess fear of movement in different patient populations. Aim: The aim of this study is to develop and validate the Turkish Atılım Kinesiophobia Scale. Material/method: In the first stage of the study, research on kinesiophobia was reviewed and a total of 38 questions were created for the scale. The questions were submitted to the opinion of 11 experts working in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation field. Then A total of 100 patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain completed the Turkish Atılım Kinesiophobia Scale and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a three-item intervention in oral surgeons who remove teeth. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can the intervention reduce opioid prescriptions to adolescents and young adults after tooth removal? - Do oral surgeons' beliefs about the intervention and opioid prescribing change? - Do patients that report using opioids after tooth removal have different experiences than patients that do not? Oral surgeon participants will: - Attend a 1-hour education session with a trained pharmacist - Receive patient instructions and blister packs of pain medicine to give to patients - Complete 2 surveys about feasibility and appropriateness Patient participants will complete a survey about pain and medication use after having a tooth removed. Researchers will compare the intervention to usual care to see if it reduces opioid prescribing.
Postoperative pain is common after spinal surgeries, including lumbar disc surgery. Surgical anesthesia and perioperative analgesic regimen are aimed at complete intraoperative amnesia, deep analgesia, effective control of autonomic responses and rapid discharge from the hospital. Although there are many studies on the use of these techniques for postoperative analgesia, the number of data comparing these techniques that can be used in meta-analyses is low. In our study, investigators aimed to compare the effects of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine accompanied by ESP block, which are different multimodal analgesia methods, on pain.
