NCT ID: NCT06128811 Not yet recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

Dental Isolation Systems Among Pediatric Patients With Different Airway Patency

Start date: November 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomized clinical trial will aim to evaluate the effect of DryShield isolation (DSI) and Rubber Dam isolation (RDI) systems on arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), behavior, subjective pain and discomfort, and time required among children with different airway patency based on Modified Mallampati classification (MMC). Healthy, cooperative 6-12-year-old children who need fissure sealant in at least two contralateral fully erupted permanent first molars will be included. The airway patency will be determined using MMC by two trained and calibrated dentists. Participants will be categorized based on their MMC score into patent airway (MMC Class I and II) and non-patent airway (MMC Class III and IV). During the treatment, the dental procedure will be videotaped, and the vital signs, including SpO2, HR, and BP, will be recorded every three minutes. A Validated Arabic Version of the Wong-Baker Pain Rating and the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scales will be utilized to record the participants' pain levels. In contrast, Frankl's Behavior will record their behavior during the dental procedure. Following the dental treatment, the participants' subjective pain and discomfort will be evaluated using a previously validated Arabic interview questionnaire.

The Effect of Using Camouflaged Dental Syringe

Camouflage
Start date: October 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Seeing the dental syringe can be terrifying, especially for young children. Hiding the dental syringe during local anesthesia (LA) administration can sometimes be challenging for the pediatric dentist. Therefore, this randomized clinical trial aims to assess the effect of a camouflaged dental syringe on children's anxiety and behavioral pain in comparison to the traditional dental syringe during local anesthesia administration in pediatric patients. It will include cooperative and healthy 6-10-year-old children scheduled for non-urgent dental treatment that requires buccal infiltration anesthesia (BIA) in the maxillary arch. The subjects will be randomized into either the test or the control groups. In the test group, subjects will receive BIA using the camouflaged dental syringe. Subjects in the control group will receive the BIA using the traditional dental syringe. A single-trained dentist will administer all the anesthesia. Heart rate (HR) will be monitored at three different time points (before, during, and after) the BIA administration. Subjects' anxiety and behavioral pain will be measured through Venham's Anxiety Rating Scale (VARS) and the Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale, respectively, by two trained and calibrated investigators.

Studies of Human Inference Using On-line Testing

Start date: February 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators will record behavioral responses from human participants on crowdsourcing platform Prolific to identify the decision strategies humans apply short-term, long-term, and multi timescale (across both timescales) inference tasks. Participants will perform a Jar Switching Task (described in Research Strategy Aim 1- "Jar Switching Task") in which balls are drawn with replacement from one of two known jars. The current jar in use switches based on an underlying change rate across trials. Subjects must perform three task blocks: 1) report the current jar in use (short-term inference), 2) predict the subsequent jar (long-term inference), and 3) both report and predict the jars (multi-timescale inference). The investigators will record these responses, the number (and sequence) of balls drawn, and the response time (time from the end of trial until the response) for each trial. Subjects will perform all blocks (parameters and number of blocks to be determined by inference model development and testing prior to task development) so that we can compare responses at each timescale. Since participants participate voluntarily for small sums of money (around $10/ hour based on duration of task) and the investigators' previous studies have collected over 200 subjects in a matter of days, they will aim to record behavioral data from 1000 subjects. This number allows them to address the broad range of subject variability expected using Bayesian statistical methods such as Bayes factors.

NCT ID: NCT05793177 Not yet recruiting - Stroke, Acute Clinical Trials

MONitoring Sedentary Behavior and Light Physical Activity in Patients With Stroke

MONSS
Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomized control trial (RCT) aims to test the effect of a 12 weeks tailored behavioral intervention on stroke survivors living in the community and compare the results to a control group of stroke survivors participating in standard care. The intervention's purpose is to lower the time spend with sedentary behavior and raise the level of physical activity in stroke survivors throughout their everyday life. The intervention contains two motivational interviews with a focus on goal setting, action planning, motivation, fatigue management, and general information on life after stroke. The primary outcome for behavior change is objectively measured physical activity using an activity tracker (ActivPal4 Micro) and secondary glycohemoglobin and changes in quality of life.

Development and Feasibility of a Nurse-led Person-centered Education Program

PsoEd
Start date: May 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease causing reduced quality of life. Psoriasis patients are often insufficiently informed about their disease with its treatment possibilities leading to non-adherence of treatment resulting in unsatisfactory patient outcomes. We therefore propose to develop an educational intervention for psoriasis patients; evaluate the feasibility of implementing it in a nurse-led psoriasis-outpatient clinic and compare the psoriasis percentage reduction, quality of life, health literacy and patient benefit, between patients receiving this educational intervention and those receiving standard care. Method/Design We first will develop an evidence-based educational intervention in collaboration with an expert panel and second will conduct a randomized controlled feasibility study in a psoriasis outpatient clinic in Western Switzerland. Twenty eligible patients with psoriasis will be randomized to receive either a multidisciplinary education and usual care or only usual care, for 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed using R conducting linear models allowing us to assess the impact of the intervention on psoriasis reduction and other secondary outcomes of interest, once controlled for reliable socio-economic cofounding factors. Discussion This trial will investigate the feasibility of the elaborated nurse-led education and the planed randomized controlled trial. In this study, we will elaborate and provide an informational brochure with information concerning psoriasis in addition to a nurse-led oral educational program in addition to medical standard care. We expect that this nurse-led person-centered intervention will contribute to enhanced education with a higher functioning, better self-efficacy and improved quality of life, better disease knowledge with a better adherence to the medication protocol. The results will further inform the final design of a subsequent large-scale randomized controlled trial, which will examine the effectiveness of this educational intervention. Additionally, through this study the role of the nursing profession and its research will be strengthened in assuring that the voice of individuals, families and communities are incorporated into design and operations of clinical health systems by eliminating gaps and disparities in health care.

The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Brain Metabolism in the Limbic Regions Studied by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Correlations With the Memory Performance and Episodic Metamemetory of Students.

MEMOREM
Start date: January 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Stress reduction methods based on mindfulness meditation have been experiencing significant growth in various fields of society over the past twenty years. In the case of students, scientific work has shown that mindfulness training has a positive effect on their mental health and possibly on their academic performance through improved attention and memory. The effect of metamemory ("knowing what you know and what you don't know"), which plays an important part in students memorization and academic success, has not yet been explored. Changes in brain structure have been noted by MRI in some regions after several weeks of mindfulness training, but very few studies have yet looked at changes in brain metabolism that can be observed by the spectrocopy technique. The investigators will conduct a prospective randomized study with overall 30 female speech therapists student that will be enrolled and assigned randomly to two groups, in a 1:1 ratio : one groupe that will benefit from mindfulness training and the other group that will benefit from another method of stress reduction based on muscular relaxation. The programs will extend over 6 weeks with session of 2h30 per week in groups having personnal daily exercices (30-40' per day). During the 3 weeks leading up to and the 2 weeks following the program, students will take tests exploring memory and metamemory, complete mental health questionnaires, and have a magnetic resonance imaging with spectroscopic analysis.

Evaluation of a Narrative Communication Intervention to Increase Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Intentions and Uptake

Start date: April 20, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The current study aims to evaluate a newly developed CSM narrative intervention in increasing HPV vaccination intentions and uptake in adults aged 18 to 26 years. The efficacy of the newly designed CSM-guided narrative video will be compared against a time and attention video and the standard of care print educational materials in increasing the intentions and uptake of the HPV vaccine in an adult Hispanic-majority college population. It is expected that participants receiving the CSM-guided narrative video will have greater HPV vaccine intentions compared with participants in the time and attention video and standard of care print education material groups. It is also hypothesized that participants receiving the CSM-guided narrative video will have greater HPV vaccine uptake at one month post-intervention compared with participants in the time and attention video and standard of care print education material groups.

The Nociception Level (NOL) Index for Pain Assessment in the Adult Intensive Care Unit

NOL-ICU
Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Assessing pain in the adult intensive care unit (ICU) is challenging because many patients are unable to communicate due to mechanical ventilation and sedation. Therefore, it is necessary to have alternative methods to assess pain in this vulnerable patient population. In this project, the use of a multi-parameter technology (i.e., the Nociception Level (NOL) index) will be tested for pain assessment in ICU adults. The NOL index is a value from 0 to 100 obtained by calculating different parameters (e.g., pulse, skin temperature) captured through a small probe placed on the patient's finger. The NOL was initially developed for assessing nociception, pain and analgesia in anesthetized patients undergoing surgery, and its use in the ICU is new. The NOL's use before, during and after standard care procedures known to be painful (e.g., tube or drain removal, suctioning of secretions through the endotracheal tube) and non-painful (e.g., cuff inflation to measure blood pressure, soft touch) in ICU adults. The NOL will be monitored in three groups: a) patients able to communicate so they can self-report their pain (gold standard criterion) and express behaviors, b) patients unable to communicate but express behaviors (reference criterion), and c) patients unable to communicate and to express behaviors. In the first group, patients will be asked to self-report their pain and procedural distress on a 0 to 10 scale. In the first and second group, patients will be assessed for pain using a standardized behavioral scale which will be completed by trained research staff. In the third group, only the NOL will be monitored. Analgesic and sedative medication administered to patients will also be documented from medical charts. The ability of the NOL to detect pain based on self-reports of pain and behavioral scores, and its ability to discriminate between painful and non-painful procedures will be examined. If found to be useful, the NOL could be used as an alternative measure of pain and improve its recognition and treatment in vulnerable ICU patients.

NCT ID: NCT04953364 Not yet recruiting - Amputation Clinical Trials

Self-Management for Amputee Rehabilitation Using Technology.

SMART
Start date: August 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Lower Limb Amputations (LLAs) are a substantial burden on the Canadian health services with nearly 50,000 cases reported between 2006 and 2011. To address the challenging nature of a LLA (e.g., decreased mobility, pain, depression), patients need to go through extensive rehabilitation programs. Effective self-management programs can help those with LLA to monitor their own condition and improve their quality of life. However, a lack of self-management programs, a limited healthcare budget, and a decrease in quality of services (e.g. shorter lengths of stay for inpatients and rapid movement to outpatient services) pose further challenges for patients with LLA. Self-management programs can be provided to clients through online mobile technologies (e.g., tablet) and offer accessible, low-cost, and potentially augmentative rehabilitation after discharge, in both urban and rural areas. To address these needs, an online educational and training platform for individuals with LLA called, Self-Management for Amputee Rehabilitation using Technology (SMART) was designed and developed. SMART focuses on LLA education, prosthetic limb management, and weekly support of peers. It is monitored by a trainer through a website. SMART will be evaluated in men and women with LLA aged 50 years and over, admitted to prosthetic rehabilitation throughout BC and ON. SMART has the potential to influence a client's post-LLA needs with direct (e.g., individual's health) and indirect (e.g., healthcare utilization) benefits. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of SMART in community dwelling older adults with unilateral, above or below, knee amputation.
