Filter by:hysterosalpingography can cause pain and discomfort in several ways: Use of the tenaculum to grasp the cervix and straighten the uterus for proper insertion; trans-cervical actions including measuring uterine depth, inserting the cannula; and injection of the dye
The purpose of the investigators' study was to evaluate whether misoprostol will improve pain scores .
hysterosalpingography is a diagnosis procedure in the evaluation of infertile women and considered to be the traditional and the gold standard in the assessment of the patency of the fallopian tubes. The major disadvantage of hysterosalpingography is pain. In a study reported the patients complained of moderate to severe pain during the procedure. It is reported that some patients undergoing hysterosalpingography was more stressful and anxiety and effect on pain scores.
Venipuncture is one of the painful procedures most frequently performed in children. Pain and distress management in children, during needle related procedures, is warranted. The base for pain management starts with behavioural and environmental support and distraction. Distraction is a cognitive strategy trying to divert the child's attention from a noxious stimulus. Active distraction involves the child in a different performance, e.g. playing, during pain procedures. Passive distraction redirects the child's attention to visual or auditory stimuli using toys, songs, movies or blowing bubbles. Blood-drawing centre is a peculiar setting in which many procedures have to be performed in a limited time. Patients usually arrive without a pharmacological premedication and go away immediately after procedure. In this context distraction is an excellent pain relief tool. The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of an active distraction (playing a videogame using a computer tablet) with a passive distraction technique in pain relief during venipuncture in a blood-drawing centre.
Needle procedures are the most common and important source of pain and distress in children in the health care setting. Children with intellectual disability from any cause experience pain more frequently than healthy children. They often require venipuncture or IV cannulation for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Pain in this population is often unrecognised because these patients are frequently unable to self-report their pain. Now it's possible to measure pain in children with intellectual disability with specific pain scales, like NCCPC-PV (Non-Communicating Children's Pain Checklist, Post-operative Version). The efficacy of a device combining vibration and cold for pain relief during venipuncture or IV cannulation has been recently reported in children. The device's actions are based on the Gate Control Theory, whereby cold and vibrations stimulate large fiber and inhibitory neurons to interrupt nociception. This non-pharmacologic technique for pain relief could be useful in this kind of patients in emergency department. To date, there is no study that validated Buzzy device for pain relief in children with intellectual disability. The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of Buzzy® (a device that provides cold and vibration), in reducing the pain during venipuncture or IV cannulation, in children with intellectual disability.
Preterm infants undergo very frequent painful procedures during neonatal care particularly during the first few days. The support for the pain of the preterm is a priority for nurses and neonatologists. Previous studies showed that non-nutritive sucking combined with sucrose ensures effective pain-relief for preterm (28-32 weeks GA). Unfortunately, the use of sucrose is limited to 4 administrations per day which is insufficient compared to the average of daily painful procedures. So, validation of an effective non-pharmacological intervention to relieve or avoid pain is essential. Facilitated tucking alone has been validated for preterm less than 37 GA during heel stick procedure with the PIPP score but no study looks for the benefit for pain relief of the association of non-nutritive sucking and facilitated tucking during heel stick procedure.
The objective of this study is to assess the utility of benzocaine spray versus a placebo spray in alleviating pain during and after hysterosalpingogram (HSG).
The investigators will conduct a randomized double blind study, to determine whether patient analgesic delivery mode preference affects pain reduction quality in non-surgical spine patients. The patients will receive both intra-muscular and oral non-narcotic analgesics and placebo. During the study period, pain reduction parameters will be collected. At the end of the study period, the investigators will attempt to find a correlation between pre-study patient preferences and the quality of the pain reduction achieved.
This study will examine whether pre-incision infiltration of the skin cut site can attenuate post operative pain after a cesarean section. One hundred and twenty women will be allocated to get 20 ml of either placebo or 1% xylocaine at the site of skin incision. We will also examine possible effect of this infiltration of parameters of wound heeling and scar formation, six weeks post partum.
Patients with certain polymorphism in the MOR and COMT genes will display differences in their response to analgesics.
