Filter by:This study will compare the VerTouch device to palpation and ultrasound (US) techniques used to identifying the anatomic landmarks and optimal location for neuraxial access. This trial of the VerTouch device will be compared to the gold standard of palpatoin and the commonly cited US techniques.
The goal Aim 1 of this investigation is to characterize the diagnosis of chronic pain in torture survivors. The investigators hypothesize that using a validated pain screen to supplement the existing United Nations Istanbul Protocol can improve the ability to detect pain from 15% to 90% in this study population. Investigators will test this hypothesis by conducting a prospective, blind comparison to gold standard study. The goal of Aim 2 is to evaluate the acceptability of somatic pain treatment using qualitative interviews of torture survivors. The goal of Aim 3 is to assess the feasibility of recruiting and retaining participants in a digital pain program over six months.
Anesthesia systems with electronic injection assistance for slow injection pressure-limiting drips (especially for intraosseous anaesthesia) are offered to limit pain. The European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) recommends them for their pen-like appearance which avoids the negative aspect of the classic syringe (Kühnisch 2017). A review systematic review of the literature (Smolarek et al 2019) including 20 randomized controlled trials conducted at children and adolescents showed a significant reduction in pain with the systems with electronic assistance compared to conventional anaesthesia performed with a syringe (-0.8: IC95% (-1.3, -0.3)). Only four of them (Tahmassebi et al 2009, Kandiah and Tahmassebi 2012, Patini et al 2018, Smail-Faugeron et al 2019) were at low risk of bias, and only two parallel group trials were of poor quality and included only children in temporary dentition in which anaesthesia, often problematic, was performed only in the maxilla (Allen et al 2002, Klein et al, 2005) without assessing the intensity of the pain felt. (FPS-R). The tested strategy, anesthesia system with electronic injection assistance (SleeperOne® 5 Dental Hi Tec), compared to a conventional metallic anaesthetic syringe currently considered as the standard for performing local anesthesia during oral treatments painful, meets the ISO 13485: 2016 standard. Elements justifying that the particular surveillance modalities added by research do not involve negligible risks and constraints Specific monitoring modalities added by research include : - Explanation of the study to each eligible child and his or her legal guardians - Gathering the informed consent of the child and his or her legal guardians - The determination of comparative anesthesia systems (SleeperOne® 5 versus syringe metal) - Data collection during the two care sessions (maximum 15 days apart) It is a use of a product placed on the market whose conditions of use are in conformity with its destination and its current conditions of use (RIPH Category 2 application decree) There is no additional consultation or visit, nor any additional examination, in relation to the management in accordance with the recommendations of good practice of a child affected by a carious disease corresponding to the children included. On the other hand, the consultation will take a little longer due to the indicators to be collected and the data entry. These particular surveillance modalities added by research have only negligible constraints.
There is a trend that breast surgery can be done with peripheral nerve blockade and intravenous sedation, which reduces the side effects of general anesthesia such as nausea and vomiting, intubation discomfort and postoperative pain. The distribution of breast nerves is complex. Common nerve block methods are paravertebral blocks and pectoral nerve blocks. By monitoring the patient's heart rate variability change and measuring the patient's parasympathetic tone, the analgesic drug can be administered according to the patient's individual differences to avoid insufficient or excessive analgesic dose. The aim of this proposal is a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial is designed to evaluate changes in analgesia nociception index (ANI), surgical pleth index (SPI), postoperative opioid demand, and pain scores between patients who received regional anesthesia and those without in breast surgery patients under non-intubated surgery.
Therapeutic massage has been thought to reduce anxiety and increase relaxation in human patients.This study is meant to determine the immediate effects of therapeutic massage on pain tolerance and threshold.
This study was planned to evaluate the effect of two different non-pharmacologic pain relief methods (swaddling and maternal holding) on healthy term newborn's pain levels during heel stick. Study hypotheses are; Hypothesis 1. Swaddling is effective at relieving pain due to heel stick procedures in newborns. Hypothesis 2. Maternal holding is effective at relieving pain due to heel stick in newborns. Hypothesis 3. Maternal holding is more effective than swaddling at relieving pain due to heel stick in newborns.
Children born with severe brain-based developmental disabilities frequently experience persistent unexplained periods of pain and irritability, often compounded by a limited capacity to communicate their distress. The investigators call this entity Pain and Irritability of Unknown Origin (PIUO). The rationale of this trial is to identify the clinical effect size of gabapentin in reducing and resolving pain in children with developmental brain disorders, specifically those with severe neurological impairment (SNI).
The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, with 900,000 people affected in France in 2015 and a forecast of 1.3 million in 2020. As a consequence of their advanced age, dementia patients often suffer from pain, mainly musculoskeletal or neuropathic pain. However, the exact prevalence of pain in dementia is underestimated. Indeed, several studies indicate that people suffering from dementia report less pain. This phenomenon is all the more true as the stage of dementia is advanced. In addition, people with dementia receive less pain medication than people without cognitive impairment in similarly painful conditions. Hetero-evaluation alone also seems insufficient, with the result that pain is under-treated compared to patients without cognitive impairment. Better pain screening is a major challenge and self-assessment tools should be favoured as a first line of treatment, even for patients with cognitive impairment. suffering from dementia. The investigators propose in this work to evaluate the variation of vegetative parameters that accompany a painful stimulus. These variations can be recorded at the cardiac, vascular, pupillary or skin conductance level.
With this study the investigators wish to examine the effect of prayer on pain intensity and on the conditioned pain modulation in healthy religious university students.
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is rare, devastating, and currently incurable genetic blistering disorders characterized by fragility of skin and mucosal membranes. Therapeutic options for EB are limited. Acute and chronic wounds cause pain, itching and infection, altering quality of life and impair wound healing. In absence of a cure, wound care is paramount to alleviate suffering. Anecdotal experience suggest that CBD application alleviates the pain and itching and improves wound healing by controlling the inflammatory process. We propose to undertake a phase II/III study exploring the safety, tolerability and efficacy of topical application of 3% Cannabidiol cream (CBD) on acute and chronic wounds affecting patients with EB. We are doing this trial to determine safety and tolerability of topical CBD cream in a cohort of RDEB patients with chronic wounds (phase II trial), and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CBD cream in EB with acute and chronic wounds in promoting wound healing, decrease blister formation, pain, itching and improve overall quality of life (phase III trial)
