Filter by:We plan to study the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the virtually-delivered Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (v-SKY) intervention. We will study effectiveness by comparing the effects of v-SKY to a waitlist control in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with Canadian military and RCMP veterans with PTSD. Effects of the intervention on PTSD symptom severity, depression, pain, anxiety, and quality of life will be evaluated. We will evaluate the reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the v-SKY intervention amongst veterans, SKY instructors, health professionals, and administrators by interviewing RCT participants, instructors, health professionals, and administrators that work with veterans. Evaluating implementation of a virtual intervention is relevant in both pandemic and post-pandemic contexts where virtual interventions may continue to be more available and possibly preferred by patients and clients.
Cognitive Empathy is relevant in clinical practice and will be assessed based on the accuracy of pain recognition and the pain intensity evaluation in a computerised task using facial expressions. Repeated measures across day and night shifts will provide the basis to understand the impact of shift work on those abilities in health care professionals.
This study was conducted to examine the effects of pressurized cold applicatıon for patients total knee prosthesis surgery.
Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) may be associated with chronic pain, seroma formation, bulging and failure to restore abdominal wall function. These outcomes are risk factors for hernia recurrence and poor quality of life (QoL). Our study evaluates whether robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair (rVHR) diminish these complications compared to LVHR with primary closure of the defect (hybrid).
The planned research will address the behavioral and emotional factors associated with low back pain rather than a structural and biological cause. It will be determined to what extent the results obtained according to the ICF model are effective on the participation of patients with low back pain in daily activities, and it will become clear whether patients with low back pain should be approached only mechanically in the rehabilitation programs.
High-frequency alternating current (HFAC) stimulation (between 1 kilohertz (kHz) and 100 kHz) on the peripheral nerve has been shown in basic animal research to produce a rapidly reversible nerve block without nerve damage. In human studies, frequencies between 1 kHz and 30 kHz had been applied (both transcutaneously and percutaneously), showing rapidly reversible sensorimotor changes after stimulation without adverse effects. However, the effect of currents with a frequency higher than 30 kHz, which has been shown to be more effective in eliciting nerve block in primates, has not been investigated in humans. The main objective of this study is to investigate the safety of the intervention and the effect in healthy volunteers of transcutaneous application of alternating currents with frequencies between 30 kHz and 50 kHz on neurophysiological changes in the nerve (nerve conduction velocity and antidromic sensory action potentials (SNAPs), sensory (pain to pressure, epicritic sensitivity and thermal pain to heat) and motor (maximal isometric force) components of the median nerve.
Phlebitis is an inflammation of the tunica intima layer of the vein. Intravenous administration of drugs with high pH and osmolarity via a peripheral intravenous catheter damages the vascular structure, causing the drug to leak out of the vessel and cause phlebitis. Planning the care of the area where phlebitis occurs is the responsibility of the nurses. When phlebitis symptoms are seen, the infusion is terminated, the treatment is continued from another area, the extremity is elevated, and warm application is started. However, studies in the literature on what, how many degrees, how many times a day, and how long the warm application should be made are limited. Therefore, this planned thesis study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of warm wet application in the care of peripheral intravenous catheter-related phlebitis. The study will be carried out in Ordu University Training and Research Hospital oncology, hematology, palliative, infection, and obstetrics services. The population of the study will be the patients with phlebitis symptoms, and the sample will be 70 patients determined by G power analysis. Volunteer patients with phlebitis symptoms after drug infusion with a peripheral intravenous catheter will be included in the study. Data will be obtained using the "Patient Information Form", "Phlebitis Follow-up Form" and "Phlebitis Care Schedule". The patients included in the study will be divided into experimental and control groups by the randomization method. A warm wet compress will be applied to the phlebitis developing area of the patients in the experimental group, three times a day for three days. No intervention will be made in the control group. The data will be evaluated by using the SPSS 22.0 package program at a significance level of p<0.05 with a 95% confidence interval, and by Student-t or Mann-Whitney-U test in independent groups according to their suitability for normal distribution. It is thought that the results of the study will reduce the symptoms of phlebitis, guide nurses towards care and increase patient satisfaction.
Exercise and education is recommended as the first-line treatment by evidence-based, international guidelines for low back pain (LBP). Despite consensus regarding treatment, there is a gap between guidelines and what is offered to patients and less than half of the patients with nonspecific low back pain receive proper first-line care. The aim of this study was to examine the short-term effect in pain and function in people with nonspecific LBP, participating in the digitally delivered treatment program Joint Academy.
assess the effect of articaine versus lidocaine in only buccal infiltration of local anethesia in lower anterior teeth
The newborn feels pain and the newborn at the end of life, in the delivery room, is potentially exposed to pain and respiratory distress. Protocols for the management of end-of-life symptoms in the delivery room are used in current practice with very few validation studies. The protocol used in delivery rooms in Alsace uses fentanyl and midazolam intranasally. It has been used for 3 years and seems to provide satisfactory relief to newborn babies. In doing so, it seems to reassure parents about the quality of support and it seems to meet the expectations of professionals in these anxiety-provoking contexts. Scientific validation of these practices would allow wider dissemination to other maternity teams.
