Filter by:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that usually starts with cartilage damage in weight-bearing joints and then causes pain and loss of function secondary to damage in surrounding tissues. Osteoarthritis, which is seen with a frequency of approximately 10% in men over the age of 60 and approximately 18% in women, ranks first among the diseases related to the joint. Many factors such as age, gender, obesity, physical activity, trauma, and genetic factors are involved in the etiology of the disease. In osteoarthritis, intra-articular production and destruction events can occur simultaneously, so it is a dynamic process. Among the joints in the lower and upper extremities, osteoarthritis is most common in the knee joint. Various approaches are used in the treatment, including drug therapy, hyaluronic acid injection, use of glucosamine and chondritis sulfate, exercises, physiotherapy applications, and diet applications for weight loss to reduce pain and increase physical function. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are important treatment options in OA. Generally, range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, and endurance exercises are applied to patients. An exercise program can be as effective as an NSAID in reducing pain. Decreased quadriceps muscle strength is a finding seen in patients with symptomatic knee OA. In addition, aerobic exercise has the potential to improve cardiovascular fitness, many of the comorbidities often associated with OA, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Because OA is a major public health problem, a less costly population-based approach is desirable. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise-related irisin on inflammation and pain in patients with OA who underwent exercise.
This study is a randomized controlled trial of a psychosocial pain management intervention called, Meaning-Centered Pain Coping Skills Training (MCPC). Patients with advanced solid tumor cancer and pain interference (N=210) will be randomized to MCPC or a standard care control condition. Patient-reported outcomes will be assessed at baseline and 8- and 12-week follow-ups. The risk and safety issues in this trial are low and limited to those common to a psychosocial intervention (e.g., loss of confidentiality).
Retrospective cohort study to investigate the adherence to the process indicators for pain management, sedation management and management of delirium on outcome indicators and cost/revenues in individual patients and subcohorts.
The primary objective is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of IV SHR8554 compared with morphine and placebo in patients with acute postoperative pain following orthopedic surgery.
As a result of the cancer diagnosis and medical therapies, women with breast cancer often encounter debilitating cooccurring psychological and physical symptoms. While pain constitutes one of the most common adverse physical side effects of medical treatment reported by breast cancer patients, the most prevalent psychological symptom they seek psychological help for is depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in psychosocial oncology care may be particularly beneficial in targeting depression and cancer-related pain. The aim of the I-CAN-ACT project is to examine in a RCT the efficacy of a brief ACT-based intervention for both depression and physical pain (6 online sessions) compared to a waitlist control on various outcomes in women with breast cancer. Outcomes will include quality of life, physical pain intensity and interference, depression, and anxiety in women with breast cancer. These will be assessed at post-treatment and at the 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1 year follow-ups (for Marianna Zacharia's PhD thesis, results will be presented until the 3-month follow-up). Also, the Acceptability and Feasibility of the intervention will be assessed. That is, participants' treatment acceptability and adherence to the brief ACT intervention in terms of retention, treatment engagement and satisfaction with each session and with the overall treatment will be assessed. Participants' reasons for dropout will be recorded.
The aim of the study is to find out how pain nursing documentation audit and educational feedback effect to RN's pain nursing documentation, the average level of pain nursing documentation knowledge of unit RN's, patient satisfaction of pain management and number of pain nursing incident reports. In addition, how background variables are related to the pain nursing documentation. Research hypothesis: Pain nursing documentation audit and educational feedback increased RNs' pain nursing documentation and knowledge, patient satisfaction to pain management and effect to number of pain nursing incident reports.
This study is a prospective descriptive cross-sectional survey using the modified Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (KASRP) in English via an online google form.
The purpose of subproject 1 is to evaluate the accuracy of a nerve excitability protocol in healthy subjects before testing the protocol in diabetic neuropathy patients. The nerve excitability protocol has been derived by computational modeling to identify abnormalities of three subtypes of ion voltage-gated channels. These three ion channels are all altered in animal models of diabetic neuropathy and, therefore, are likely candidates for generating the altered excitability in diabetic neuropathy patients. The hypothesis for subproject 1 is that due to the unique dynamics of each subtype of voltage-gated ion channels, it is possible to identify abnormal voltage-gated ion channel alterations by altering the shape of the electrical stimulation.
In hospitals, venous blood sampling as the first step in diagnosis and planning of medical treatment is among the most basic and common procedures all over the world. Before the diagnosis and treatment of acute or chronic health problems, venous blood is requested from the doctors and the blood sample is collected by the nurses. Patients experience anxiety for reasons such as the fear of experiencing pain during the blood donation process, fear of seeing blood, and fear that blood-borne diseases will pass. Studies in the literature have generally evaluated the effects on pain and fear by using virtual reality with different techniques in pediatric patients during blood collection, and the relevant research has been reached in adult patients. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of virtual reality on pain and anxiety during blood collection of patients who applied to the blood collection unit of a university hospital.
Fever, one of the most common clinical journeys of childhood, makes up a fraction of emergency room admissions. About us-30. High fever, which is one of the first schools in infancy and childhood, can cause health problems such as not applying or starting the intervention. The most preferred method in the fire; antipyretic drug treatment in the hospital is routine . Antipyretics play a role in control plans and estimations of facts for cars of cars, the importance of word of mouth has some problems. In children, hospital, health care, injectors are grown from the breeder after completion, they can be created by red supplementation from the effects such as rearing without completion . resistance children; aspiration is risky, wrong dose is administered. It is stated in relation to teachers and verbal medicines for health. Hansen et al. Working with 61 babies aged 0-24 months, using a pacifier injector and a normal injector, children and temperature monitors. They are from the nipple injector used by mothers and women. There is a need for a new modification in the existing oral drug applications that will be able to support the adaptation and readiness of the child and to be able to effectively administer the drug. This work; Two different methods used to give antipyretic (medication pacifier and colored injector) were planned to be performed as pain, fever and purpose of life (respiratory rate, planning CTA) for the child.
