Filter by:The aim of this project is to determine the effect of mindfulness practice to cope with dysmenorrhea on pain and anxiety levels. The project will be carried out in a semi-randomized controlled manner. It will be applied to 100 students with dysmenorrhea (100 students by increasing by 10%, taking into account the losses that may occur in the 90 students determined in the sample calculation). Students who meet the inclusion criteria and approve of participating in the project will be given a pre-test before the application. 'Introductory Information Form', 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the pre-test. After the pre-test, mindfulness practice will be applied for 8 weeks (1 day/120 minutes per week). At the end of 8 weeks, an intermediate test will be performed in the first 3 days of the first menstrual cycle. After the mid-term test, students will practice mindfulness on their own with the brochures provided. Motivational messages will be sent to students for mindfulness practice, starting 3 days before their cycle. The final test will be administered 3 months after the intermediate test. 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the mid-test and post-test.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test and learn about Virtual Reality (VR) providing preoperative information to patients undergoing elective TKA surgery in spinal anesthesia. The main question(s) aim(s) to answer if: - Can preoperative information through a VR headset lower the patients preoperative anxiety? - Can VR information make the patients more ready for surgery. Painscore will also be collected. Participants will be randomized into two groups. One that will have preoperative information through VR versus standard information. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare enrolled TKA patients to see if VR have an impact on anxiety, readiness and pain
Cannabis use increased 10 fold among adults over the age of 65 between 2014 and 2016 but very little data exists on the extent of their harmful effects on health and behavior. The overarching goal of this project is to test a novel harm reduction strategy in which older individuals who seek to use cannabis for pain, anxiety or mood problems (depression/anxiety) will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions in an 8 week randomized controlled trial: hemp-derived CBD+THC, hemp-derived CBD-THC, or placebo. This work has the ability to directly inform individual choices regarding the use of cannabis products among older adults, and direct policy decisions regulating cannabis formulations on the legal market.
The current preoperative fasting guidelines recommend, applying preoperative carbohydrate solution 2 hours before the operation to minimize prolonged fasting time potential negative effects and improve patient comfort. Fasting after midnight before the operation day is a widespread practice. The major obstacle to preoperative carbohydrate solutions becoming prevalent and extremely long fasting time is the limited product; which is proven safe and efficient, and unavailable in several countries. In this study, our objective is to analyze the gastric volume, preoperative anxiety, stress response, postoperative insulin resistance, and postoperative nausea and vomiting by utilizing a low osmolality oral carbohydrate solution prepared with ginger and melissa.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week online yoga intervention in improving the well-being and productivity of desk-based workers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How effective is an 8-week online yoga intervention in improving the well-being (mental and physical) and productivity (work engagement and job performance) of the yoga group compared with passive controls? - Are there any differences in well-being and work-related measures between the yoga and control groups? Participants in the yoga group will practice yoga three days a week for 8 weeks and will be compared with a wait-listed control group, which will continue with the usual routine for 8 weeks. Researchers will evaluate the impact of yoga on the well-being and productivity of desk-based workers.
The goal of this clinical pilot trial is to test the feasibility, acceptance and preliminary efficacy of an adapted group psychotherapy manual in stroke survivors with psychological stress. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the group therapy feasible? - Is the group therapy accepted by stroke survivors and therapists? - Are there first indications on the efficacy of the group therapy to improve mental health? Participants will take part in 8 weekly group therapy sessions of 90 minutes each.
A randomized trial assessing the effectiveness of virtual reality exposure prior to an oocyte retrieval procedure in terms of anxiety level .
The investigators are interested in studying the effect of an animated video depicting a nail biopsy procedure on the anxiety, health literacy, and satisfaction of participants recommended to undergo a nail biopsy procedure. The investigators hypothesize that the animated video will reduce preoperative anxiety, increase health literacy, and increase patient satisfaction in relation to nail biopsy procedures.
Opioid misuse and addiction among children and adolescents is an increasingly concerning problem. Post-surgical opioid prescriptions for commonly performed surgeries such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) increase opioid exposure in young athletes. The purpose of the current study is to determine if extended-release Bupivacaine Liposome Injectable Suspension (Exparel) is effective in decreasing at home narcotic consumption compared to standard Bupivacaine Adductor Canal Block for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction/reconstruction for the surgical treatment of adolescents with ACL tears and concomitant pathology i.e. meniscus / cartilage injury/tear.
Research suggests that one in eight children in the U.S. currently lives with a parent with a substance use disorder. Parents who misuse substances are at increased risk of using harsh and other negative parenting practices with their young children, who are more likely to face challenges with emotional and behavioral regulation and subsequently misuse substances themselves. There is thus an urgent need for evidence-based interventions to promote positive parenting skills in parents who misuse substances. Interventions must be convenient, non-stigmatizing, and accessible to parents with problematic substance use, who frequently face barriers to engaging with healthcare systems. Pediatric primary care is an ideal setting to offer a brief intervention for maladaptive parenting behaviors associated with parental substance use, as the vast majority of children under 5 access pediatric primary care at least annually and parents generally report high levels of trust in their child's pediatrician. The Family Check-Up (FCU) Online app, which was created specifically to promote positive parenting skills in parents with past or current substance misuse, is ideal for delivery to parents with pre-school age children in a pediatric primary care setting as it is brief, convenient, and delivered in a self-directed format that parents favor. The main objective of this pilot study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of the FCU-Online, a brief, app-based parenting intervention, for parents reporting lifetime problematic substance use in a pediatric primary care setting. In this study, investigators will partner with pediatric primary care providers to recruit parent participants, then evaluate feasibility and acceptability by systematically assessing parents' engagement with the FCU Online app. Engagement data from the app includes time spent in app overall and in each module, activities completed, and which modules were accessed. Investigators will also administer a consumer satisfaction survey, which will ask parents to report on their perceptions of the app (e.g., helpfulness, useability, and effects on parenting). To assess engagement in telehealth coaching sessions, investigators will use the following variables: number of telehealth sessions completed, length of session, content of sessions, and coaches' ratings of participant engagement in the session and barriers to using the app. Coaches will also rate participant engagement on a 3-point scale from "low" to "high." Lastly, investigators will conduct qualitative interviews with a sub-sample of participants to solicit additional feedback on the acceptability of the FCU Online, focusing particularly on the perception of acceptability within an integrated primary care context and stigma associated with endorsing substance use in this setting. A second aim of this study is to assess pediatric healthcare providers' perceptions and attitudes regarding the fit of the FCU Online with their practice settings as well as potential barriers to implementation. Through semi-structured focus groups and qualitative interviews with pediatric healthcare providers, investigators will assess provider- and practice-level factors that may facilitate or impede the implementation of the FCU Online in pediatric primary care settings.
