Reducing Pain Levels and Increasing Comfort of Premature Infants During Aspiration

Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using amigurumi octopus on the pain and comfort of the newborn in premature infants undergoing endotracheal aspiration. It is a randomized controlled quasi-experimental design. The study will be conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit of Health Sciences University Bursa High Specialization Training and Research Hospital. The population of the study will consist of preterm hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit during the period of the conducted study. In the calculation of the sample size, the power level is 80% and the significance level is 5%. It was determined by the statistical expert that the number of babies that should be included for each group is 26 and the total number of babies required for the whole study is 52 when the effect size is determined as 0.8 for the investigation of the difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of the premature infant pain profile (PIPP) variable. Based on aforementioned information, the study sample was determined as 80 preterm infants in which 40 for experimental groups and 40 for control groups. Block randomization method will be applied for the randomization of the groups. PIPP=Premature Infant Pain Scale and Premature Infant Comfort Scale (PBIQ) will be used as a case report form for the collection of the study data. All the patients included in the study will be intervened by the nurse having a neonatal nursing experience by paying attention to aseptic conditions in accordance with the routine aspiration criteria of the unit. Standardization will be ensured by intervening in all patients with the same application by the same nurse. During the endotracheal aspiration procedure, the octopus will be given to experimental group 10 minutes before the procedure. Babies will be allowed to touch the octopus for 10 minutes during and after the procedure. Physiologic parameters of the infants before, during and after the procedure will be reported and recorded by camera. According to the video recordings, PIPP-R and PICS scale evaluations of the infants will be made by two research nurses other than the main researcher conducting the study. The routine aspiration application steps of the unit will be applied to the control group without any intervention.

Using Gait Modification to Treat Knee Osteoarthritis in Saudi Arabia: Possibilities and Acceptability.

Start date: April 13, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A variety of biomechanical gait modification interventions can elevate knee loading and improve knee symptoms in knee osteoarthritis patients. However, there was a lack of acceptability and adherence regarding modification interventions without any explanation. Thus, this study investigates the feasibility and acceptability of foot insoles as a gait modification tool among Saudi Arabian knee osteoarthritis patients and physiotherapists. This study aims to answer the following: - Which gait modification intervention is most likely to be implemented in Saudi Arabia (SA) clinical practice, taking context, patients' clinical and research evidence into consideration? - In Saudi Arabia, can this proposed foot-insole intervention be implemented? Is there sufficient experience among physiotherapists regarding gait modification to deliver it, and will patients engage with it? How can KOA rehabilitation outcomes be evaluated in the future? The participants will be conducted over three phases: 1. The patients' interview and therapists' focus group discussion will be used to examine KOA patients' and clinicians' perspectives on enabling and accepting gait modifications in phase 1. 2. The feasibility study will explore how a small number of KOA patients tolerate gait modifications and consider the most relevant outcome measures, such as pain and function, in phase (2). 3. A small group of knee osteoarthritis patients and their physiotherapists who participated in phase (2) will be asked to participate in a descriptive survey in phase (3). To examine the acceptability and feasibility of the study intervention in phase (2).

A New Treatment for Chronic Pain Combining Neuromodulation, Computer Assisted Training and Telemonitoring

TechNoPain
Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Chronic pain (CP) is a leading cause of medical disability, healthcare expenditure, and reduced psychological well-being. Given the limited mobility, travel burden, and cost, access to care can be problematic for patients suffering from this disease, driving the recent shift toward care through telehealth programs. Given the complex interrelationship of physical and psychosocial aspects related to chronic pain, in this project the investigators propose to validate and investigate the effectiveness of new integrated health interventions by combining the technique of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), complementary therapies and telemonitoring. The investigators hypothesize that this novel combined approach will provide a more effective strategy to overcome the classic barriers of pharmacological treatments and access to healthcare due to lack of mobility. To do this, the investigators will rely on a previously developed integrated platform that enables effective delivery of non-pharmacological interventions and outcome assessment. Many patients do not benefit from pharmacological and invasive treatments, leading to the development of alternative therapeutic options such as non-invasive brain stimulation (e.g. tDCS) and complementary interventions to improve physical and psychological well-being. These complementary interventions reduced pain intensity and psychological distress by improving individuals' ability to manage and cope with their pain. However, due to the multiple co-occurring factors associated with chronic pain, a multidisciplinary and integrated treatment approach is challenging. Technology ecosystems can be a reliable tool to achieve such a diverse personalized approach and evaluate their results. In a previous project, the investigators developed PainRE-Life, a dynamic and integrated technology ecosystem to enable continuity of care for CP patients, including personalized applications, training tools and telemonitoring tools for outcome assessment.

Double Knots Versus Triple Knots Facia Closure Method; is There a Difference in Pain Sensation or Cosmetic Satisfaction?

Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study included women who were scheduled for an elective or had an emergency cesarean section. Age, body mass index (BMI), obstetric history, education status, smoking status and C-section indications of the patients were recorded. Patients with a previous suprapubic scar, medical conditions affecting wound healing (such as diabetes or chronic corticosteroid use), those needing a vertical incision (e.g., placenta previa), individuals with postoperative wound infection or under 18 years old were excluded. Data were collected in standardized data form by a research assistant. Pre- and post-surgery treatments and/or interventions were standardized. All patients received antimicrobial prophylaxis with cefazolin before the operation. The abdomen was entered via a transverse suprapubic skin incision and the surgical steps up to the point of facia closure were accomplished in a standard fashion. Technical differences such as blunt and sharp dissection, uterus exteriorization vs in situ, or parietal peritoneum closure were left to the surgeon's discretion. The procedures for facia closure are as follows; in Group I (Double knots group), the edge of the fascia was determined with a Kocher clamp. The fascia was closed starting from the opposite side with a synthetic absorbable multifilament suture in a continuous fashion up to the Kocher clamp and tied the knots with the same single suture (Figure 2; a-b). In Group II (Triple knots group), the edge of the fascia was fixed with the same suture material instead of the Kocher clamp, and the fascia was closed similarly, starting from the opposite corner via the second loop. Then the loops from the first suture were tied to the second suture (Figure 2; c-d). After the incision was irrigated with sterile saline solution, the subcutaneous space was closed if the thickness was 2 cm or more. Skin closure was accomplished with a subcuticular technique using a non-absorbable monofilament suture, which was removed on the 10th day postoperatively. A closed subcutaneous suction drain was not used in any of the patients. Postoperative pain at and around the incision line was measured on the 1st, and 10th days postoperatively on the NRS (Numeric Rating Scale), with "0" being "no pain" and "10" being "the worst pain imaginable." The 1st measurements were made face-to-face, and the 10th-day evaluation was made via telephone interviews by the same research assistant.
