Filter by:This study evaluated a smart phone virtual reality (VR) to manage pediatric burn dressing pain. A randomized controlled trial was conducted among 90 patients (6-17 years). Active VR participants played the game, passive VR group were immersed in the same VR without interactions, and a standard care group served as the control. One researcher administered VR and observed pain while another researcher administered post-trial survey that measured child's perceived pain and VR experience. Nurses were asked to report the clinical utility.
Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) reflects of musculoskeletal conditions related to tissues such as tendons, muscles, ligaments, nerves, and other joint structures. Coping strategies with pain are used to manage the pain and its impacts. The present study aimed to compare active and passive coping strategies used and pain severity in postmenopausal women according to their demographic characteristics. Also, the relationship between pain and coping strategies in postmenopausal women with cMSP will be examined.
The legitimate need for opioid medications for acute pain management in pediatric trauma patients is recognized, however, the high dose and duration of opioid drugs prescribed by medical providers has been associated with an increased risk of opioid abuse and chronic use by patients. The overarching goal of application is to assess opioid use and outcomes of pediatric patients treated for either burn injuries or knee arthroscopy procedures at a large academic pediatric medical center before and after Ohio opioid prescription rules for acute pain were implemented on August 21, 2017. Also, to evaluate patient use of opioids at 90-days post-treatment.
This study is designed to evaluate the if there is a predictable patterns in brainwave activity and to see how this changes with external physical therapy interventions such as manipulation, soft tissue massage, and exercise.
The aim of this study is to explore the association between pain intensity and heart rate variability in patients with chronic pain.
investigators want to assess the efficacy of magnesium in radicular lower limb pain when it is added to local anesthetics and steroids in the transforaminal epidural injections.
Herpes zoster causes significant morbidity on over 1 million Americans every year. Although the majority of herpes zoster pain will self-resolve within one week, a significant proportion of patients will develop postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which is characterized by debilitating pain that persists more than three months after the initial symptoms. Nerve blocks have been previously studied as a method to control herpes zoster pain in outpatient pain clinics and inpatient settings. This study aims to investigate whether emergency department ultrasound guided nerve blocks can prevent PHN and effectively treat acute herpes zoster pain.
I. Background: Patients with multiple rib fractures are challenging from both pulmonary and analgesia perspectives. Adequate pain management is essential in prevention of complications secondary to decreased inspiratory volume. Significant morbidity and mortality of rib fractures is secondary to severe pain that limits ribcage movement, decreases inspiratory volumes and causes inadequate cough. Decreased vital capacity predisposes patients to atelectasis, abnormal mucous clearance and pneumonia. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) in improvement of vital capacity in patients with multiple unilateral rib fractures when compared to conventional management with medications. Currently, evidence of efficacy of SAPB in managing pain secondary to multiple rib fractures is limited to case reports and series, none of which evaluate vital capacity. II. Significance: The findings of this study may indicate that SAPB is superior to pharmacological management in increasing vital capacity in patients with multiple unilateral rib fractures and suggest SAPB for first line therapy in patients with rib fractures. The findings may decrease the risk of pulmonary complications as well as the use of opiates in management of multiple rib fractures in the Emergency Department especially in patients with numerous comorbidities and contraindications to conventional treatment modalities. This study may support the need for training emergency medicine physicians in bedside SAPB in order to provide the optimal therapy for patient with multiple unilateral rib fractures. III. Study Objectives: The primary objectives are to evaluate whether ultrasound guided SAPB results in a greater improvement in percent predicted vital capacity compared to standard therapy with a sham injection. The investigators will also evaluate pain scores and the safety profile of the SAPB procedure compared to those receiving standard analgesia. IV. Hypothesis: The primary hypothesis is that SAPB is superior to sham injection in improving the percent of predicted vital capacity. The secondary hypothesis is that SAPB will have greater improvement in pain scores and have a superior safety profile compared to placebo injection.
