Filter by:Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine the effect on venous dilation, procedure duration and pain severity of local hot, cold and vibration applications performed on the intervention area before peripheral intravenous catheterization in adults. Methods: The study included 120 adults who were randomly selected between March and August 2023. One application group (n=30) received local hot application, one group (n=30) received local cold application, and one (n=30) received local vibration using the Buzzy® device. The applications, to the site of the peripheral intravenous catheterization, lasted one minute. The control group (n=30) the received standard peripheral intravenous catheterization application. The groups' venous dilation was assessed on the vein assessment scale and the level of pain felt during catheterization was assessed using a visual analog scale.
Aim This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of acupressure application on gastrointestinal functions and pain after abdominal hysterectomy. Materials and methods After undergoing hysterectomy, 39 women were randomised into acupressure (n=19), and control groups (n=20). Women in the acupressure group received acupressure on the mide meridian (ST36), the heart meridian (HT7), large intestine meridian (LI4), intersection of the spleen, liver and kidney meridians 6(SP6) and pericardium meridian (PC6) acupoints 30 min after admission to the clinic, for a period of 15 min, whereas those in the sham group received acupressure on locations 1-1.5 cm away from these points. The control group received standard treatment. The patient information form, Visual analog scale, the Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching, and daily follow-up form were used for data collection.
In recent years, pain management coordinated with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been widely applied and rapidly developed in orthopedics, showing promising prospects. Since 2016, our hospital has used a series of continuously improved pain management schemes for patients with knee OA who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Here, we retrospectively analyze these patients' clinical data to compare the effects of different pain intervention measures during the perioperative period on postoperative pain, functional exercise, hospital stay, and prognosis of the three surgical methods in an attempt to provide a feasible solution for pain management of these patients.
The Management of Low Back Pain in the Emergency Department Worldwide, low back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, and it constitutes one of the primary complaints in emergency departments. A review of the literature reveals studies comparing ibuprofen to various agents (such as paracetamol, nimesulide, acetaminophen), and these studies suggest the use of ibuprofen due to its similar or superior efficacy and its safety profile. However, there is a lack of randomized controlled double-blind comparisons between the commonly recommended single doses of ibuprofen, which are 400 mg and 800 mg. Therefore, the objective of our planned study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of ibuprofen in the forms of 400 mg and 800 mg, which can be administered as a single dose, in the treatment of acute mechanical low back pain, as recommended in all guidelines.
In our clinic, routine suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) has been administered for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. Recently, we have introduced the IPACK (Infiltration between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee) block to this regimen, and the aim of this retrospective study is to determine whether the addition of the IPACK block enhances the quality of analgesia. Knee arthroplasty, also known as knee joint replacement surgery, is a common procedure performed to alleviate pain and improve joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis or other knee-related conditions. Postoperative pain management is crucial for patient comfort and overall recovery. In this study, we aimed to compare the two techniques mentioned earlier, namely the SIFIB (Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block) and the SIFIB+IPACK, by examining the data of patients who underwent knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia at our clinic between January 1, 2023, and September 1, 2023.
Several studies have shown that sacral espb blocks the dorsal ramus of spinal nerves. In lumbar discectomy operations, innervation of all tissues where pain occurs is provided by the dorsal ramus of the nerves. Based on this information, it was thought that sacral espb would be effective in lumbar discectomies. The investigators wanted to look at the effects of sacral erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain and opioid consumption in lumbar discectomy operations. There is no randomised controlled study on sacral espb in the literature. The researchers think that the results of the study are promising. Sacral espb is an easy-to-administer block with a low risk of complications and can be used effectively in lumbar discectomy analgesia.
Background:Newborns are exposed to painful procedures for many different reasons in the first days of their life. If pain is not relieved effectively in these newborns, neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems may occur in the short- and long-term. Objective:This study is aimed to investigate the effects of breast milk on cortical pain response and behavioral response in newborns during heel-prick procedure. Design: A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted on newborns born in a university hospital. Healthy-term newborns, undergoing heel blood sampling for newborn screening, were enrolled in the study. Infants were randomly assigned to study group with receive orally 2 ml breast milk (n=45) or a control group with no intervention (n=45) before the heel prick. A near-infrared spectroscopy device was used to monitor regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2), while neonatal pain expression was assessed by Neonatal Pain, Agitation, and Sedation Scale (N-PASS). The rScO2 measure was the primary outcome, while the N-PASS score, heart rate, SaO2, and crying time were the secondary outcomes.
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to examine the effect of non-pharmacological nursing pain management strategies in alleviating pain among preterm infants. The study includes a simple random sample of 105 preterm infants with CGA 32- < 37 weeks were randomly assigned into five groups: routine care (n = 21), breast milk (n = 21), oral sucrose (n = 21), KMC (n = 21), nesting position (n = 21). PIPP-R will be used to subjectively assess the pain intensity after heel stick, and salivary cortisol measures will be used to objectively assess the pain intensity in NICU at Children Welfare Teaching Hospital/ Medical City Complex in Baghdad City.
Objective: The study was conducted to determine the effect of patient education on pain level and fear of pain in orthopedics and traumatology patients Methods: The study is a randomized controlled experimental research design. Data were collected between December 15, 2021, and March 15, 2022 using the Information Form, Fear of Pain Scale-III, and Visual/Visual Analogue Scale. A total of 52 patients, 26 in the intervention group and 26 in the control group were included in the study. The intervention group received patient education about the operation process and pain management the day before and the morning of the operation day. Number Cruncher Statistical System and Statistical Software (Kaysville, Utah, USA) were used to analyse the data Keywords: Fear of Pain, Pain, Pain Management, Patient Education
This is a study of the effects of capsaicin, the ingredient that makes hot peppers hot. Capsaicin is currently used in topical ointments to provide temporary relief of minor aches and joint pain associated with arthritis, simple backache, strains, and sprains. This is a pilot research study that compares the potential of two different capsaicin creams to cause irritation or burning sensation when a small amount (about the size of a quarter) is applied to each forearm of a participant. The amount of capsaicin used in the creams is the same as those found in over-the-counter capsaicin products. The test creams are experimental.
