Filter by:Most patients have varying degrees of anxiety and fear before surgery. We believe that preopertive anxiety levels have an effect on intraoperative hemodynamics and recovery and affect intraoperative drug consumption. Inspired by this idea, we aimed to evaluate the effects of preoperative anxiety on hemodynamics, recovery, and drug consumption in patients undergoing total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) due to neuromuscular monitoring.
Venipuncture is one of the most common stressful procedures in children. Managing pain and fear of venipuncture procedure recommended strongly because it may change children's memory for procedural pain and the subsequent acceptance of later health care painful interventions. Prior painful experiences can reduce the acceptance of later health care, hence making it more difficult for both patients and nurses. There was clear evidence that the distraction method is the most performed as a psychological technique performed to decrease venipuncture-related pain and distress and supporting its efficacy in children. The aim of this study to investigate the effectiveness of TICK-B on children's pain and anxiety during venipuncture procedure.
The covid-19 pandemic started to spread worldwide since December 2019. It promoted to an exaggerated psychological stress and anxiety in humans due to the intolerable symptoms higher than usual death of many infected patients. This study examines the corona related anxiety and if there is need for drug intervention to treat this anxiety. To answer these questions, a survey made to the hospitalized patients including sex, age, educational level, Marital state, and a standardized questionnaires (GAD-7 and PHQ-9) which has been validated and shown to possess good psychometric qualities in studies of participants from multiple populations.
The effect of iCBT for adults with anxiety disorders is well-known. However, drop-out rates are common. In recent years more focus has been directed to the importance of patients being active agents in their own care and to increase the patient´s involvement in health care. Studies show that involving patients´ in treatment decisions and management of their own health care can contribute to better treatment outcomes and more appropriate use of health care service. Few studies have evaluated patient involvement in iCBT-treatment. This study aims to evaluate the effect of patient-driven iCBT-treatment for patients with anxiety disorders seeking primary care in a randomized controlled trial. The study investigates the effect of patient-driven iCBT treatment of perceptions of being able to control the treatment and on drop-out from treatment. In addition, secondary research questions investigate measures of empowerment, anxiety and depression symptoms, general disability, satisfaction with treatment and feelings of being able to cope with one's mental illness in patient-driven iCBT.
Rationale: Lack of postoperative acute pain management is associated with increased morbidity, longer recovery time, more opioid use and subsequently increased health care costs. There is increasing evidence virtual reality (VR) is effective in the reduction of acute pain. Alternative methods to reduce postoperative pain and multimodal analgesia are necessary for acute postoperative pain management and to reduce opioid use and their adverse effects. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the effect of VR on pain in the immediate postoperative period after elective gynecological surgery. Secondary objectives are evaluating pre-and postoperative anxiety, pain catastrophizing, analgesic use, length of hospital stay between both groups and to explore tolerability, feasibility and satisfaction of VR use. Study design: The study concerns a non-blinded, single centre, randomised controlled trial. Study population: Eligible women fulfill the inclusion criteria and receive elective gynecological surgery in the Zuyderland Medical Centre location Heerlen. Intervention: The study population will be randomly divided into the intervention group (VR-group) or the standard care- group. The intervention group can choose for an immersive guided relaxation VR experience or an interactive VR experience during the pre- and postoperative period additional to the usual standard care. The participants randomised to the standard care- group will receive only the usual standard care pre-and postoperative. Main study parameters: The primary outcome is postoperative pain measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS). A total of 30 patients have to be included in each group. This means that a total of 60 women will have to be included in the study. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The study population experiences a small medical risk when participating to this study. They can experience side-effects of VR for example dizziness or nausea and in rare cases epileptic insults. Participants of the study have to fill in a questionnaire before randomization and pre-and postoperative score of pain and anxiety on a zero to ten score scale.
Given the high prevalence of neuraxial analgesia use during labor and the anxiety associated with these procedures, a method to decrease this anxiety could benefit millions of laboring women each year. Mindfulness practice has been used by many groups to decrease anxiety during pregnancy with optimistic results. However, there has been no major study evaluating the role of mindfulness interventions on anxiety associated with neuraxial placement. The purpose of our study is to address this gap in knowledge.
The investigators planned to analyze the effect of Covid-19 fear and anxiety on the daily life, sleep quality and depression-anxiety levels of fibromyalgia patients.
Effective postoperative pain control after arthroscopic shoulder surgery optimizes postoperative rehabilitation, reduces anxiety, and can increase patient satisfaction and postoperative healing by providing amnesia and sedation. Few literature is available for postoperative pain management, including intra-articular local anesthetic infiltration, regional nerve blocks, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with intravenous opioid, and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and gabapentinoid drugs. Recently, gabapentinoides such as pregabalin have also shown to have potential in the treatment of acute postoperative pain as part of multimodal analgesia, due to their possible opioid consumption-reducing effects and prevention of post-surgical chronic pain. Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant drug that reduces calcium entry into the nerve terminals of the central nerve and also reduces levels of substance P, glutamate and noradrenaline, all of which play a major role in creating a feeling of pain. It is well known that pregabalin reduces central sensitization and hyperalgesia after tissue injury by inhibiting calcium influx in voltage-gated calcium channels. These theoretical advantages have led to clinical trials to confirm the analgesic effectiveness of oral pregabalin for postoperative pain management in various surgical procedures.
In recent years, the number of people with symptoms of depression or anxiety are on the rise. The aims of the present study is to examine the effects of Ba Duan Jin on reducing symptoms of depression or anxiety.
The objective of the study is to determine the impacts of a 2-week relaxing music intervention on stress, anxiety, and gut symptoms in individuals who regularly perform structured aerobic exercise. Gut symptoms like bloating, reflux, cramping, nausea, etc. are relatively common during prolonged aerobic exercise. In addition, previous research has established that levels of anxiety and stress are associated with a higher occurrence of these gut symptoms. Relaxing music has reduced anxiety in certain populations, but currently, no studies are available on its effects on anxiety, stress, and gut symptoms in people who regularly do aerobic exercise.
