Filter by:Study aims to examine the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on brain signals. This insight may have potential clinical implications for addiction, pain, and mental health populations. Participants will receive MRI and CT imaging. Participants receive low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to temporarily change brain activity. Participants then receive fMRI scans to measure changes in both resting and heat evoked brain signaling using a quantitative sensory testing device. Heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and skin moisture is monitored. Participants complete a battery of questionnaires, both behavioral and symptom monitoring. The study takes place over 4 study visits.
Many medical interventions, including dressing change of central venous catheters, can cause anxiety and pain in children with cancer. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of cartoon watching technique on anxiety and pain during central venous catheter dressing changes in children with cancer.
Nurses are in the position of primary health care provider in relieving children's pain and fears of bloodletting in the wards where they work. As a result of this study, it is aimed to encourage nurses to apply non-pharmacological interventions during painful medical procedures, to facilitate the provision of necessary and different means of distraction to blood collection services, and to contribute to the development of in-house health policies and the preparation of appropriate clinical guides and to add an innovative perspective.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how acute pain induced by hypertonic saline prior to exercise influence the magnitude of exercise-induced hypoalgesia after 1x3 min seated isometric knee extension exercise in healthy women. The study is a blinded randomized cross-over trial The results from the study may be of great importance to the understanding of exercise-induced hypoalgesia, and whether the presence of pain affects the effects of exercise.
Yoga, a form of exercise designed to bring balance and health to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of the individual, will benefit many white-collar workers by using popular technological environments to increase overall physical activity and well-being. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of yoga exercises applied with two different technological access in white-collar employees on musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep quality, stress level, quality of life and work efficiency.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different technologies, in particular Virtual Reality, inclusive of passive content, active content, cognitive load modulation, and positive encouragement coaching to increase the pain threshold as assessed by immersing a hand in ice water while utilizing a stationary bike.
A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel controlled phase Ⅲ clinical trial on the efficacy and safety of felbinac trometamol Injection in the treatment of postoperative pain in gynecology.main purpose is to evaluate the efficacy of Felbinac Trometamol Injection in the treatment of moderate and severe pain after surgery.Secondary purpose is to evaluation the safety of Felbinac Trometamol Injection in the treatment of moderate and severe pain after surgery
Medical procedures are negative experiences that cause pain, distress, and anxiety and are not only uncomfortable during medical procedures, especially in children; negative consequences such as poor recovery, sleep disturbances, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. There are many different approaches, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods, for the treatment of pain and anxiety in children during medical procedures. Non-pharmacological methods vary depending on the child's age, level of development and the type of procedure, and non-pharmacological methods generally used in children fall into three groups: supportive, physical and cognitive or behavioral methods. Supportive methods are practices that include psychosocial care of the child, such as reading a book or playing games. Physical methods include techniques such as cold application, massage, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Cognitive or behavioral methods include practices such as listening to music, daydreaming, relaxation, and various methods of distraction. Cognitive and behavioral approaches typically use the activating or relaxing effects of music for arousal or calming and to enhance the learning of certain skills and behaviors. Music therapy practice reduces pain and anxiety levels by stimulating the pituitary gland. Another method used is the use of kaleidoscope. In the literature, they reported that the use of kaleidoscope is effective in reducing the pain that may occur during blood collection in studies conducted with preschool and school children, children and adolescents, and school-age children. The results show that the kaleidoscope can be used effectively to distract children from the painful procedure and reduce the perception of pain.
The purpose of this study is to provide the first systematic evidence that Certified Child Life Specialists reduce pain during vaccine administration and improve caregiver visit satisfaction in the pediatric primary care setting.
Nocebo effects are known to adversely affect the experience of various physical symptoms, such as pain and itch. Nocebo effects can be induced by associative learning mechanisms of classical conditioning. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that counterconditioning can successfully reduce nocebo effects, and to a larger extent than mere extinction, which suggests counterconditioning can be an innovative method for desensitization of symptoms. When using such procedures in clinical practice, deception of patients should be avoided as much as possible. The use of open-label procedures could provide a promising alternative. While previous studies have already shown that open-label placebos are effective, the effects of open-label counterconditioning and closed-label counterconditioning are not extensively investigated in comparison to other strategies, such as extinction, and not yet compared amongst each other. Before implementing such a procedure in clinical practice, it would be relevant to get an insight in the efficacy of both open- and closed-label counterconditioning in healthy participants as compared to extinction and to investigate whether open-label counterconditioning can be equally effective as closed-label counterconditioning. Furthermore, it would be relevant to study the induction and reduction of nocebo effects using a pain modality that mimics the type of pain that people suffering from several chronic pain conditions experience, such as pressure pain. The main aim of the current study is to investigate whether open- and closed-label counterconditioning are more effective in reducing nocebo effects than extinction. To this aim, it will be investigated whether open- and closed-label counterconditioning lead to stronger reductions in nocebo effects on pressure pain than (closed-label) extinction, and whether all three successfully reduce nocebo effects. Finally, it will be tested whether open- and closed label counterconditioning are comparable in effectivity.
