Filter by:Title: A randomized study on use of virtual reality technology for pain relief in transvaginal oocyte retrieval under conscious sedation Objectives: The study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) in pain relief during transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval (TUGOR) under conscious sedation Hypothesis to be tested: VR can reduce the pain level during TUGOR. Design and subjects: This is a randomized study on additional use of VR during TUGOR. A total of 160 women undergoing oocyte retrieval on both ovaries will be recruited and randomized to one of the following groups: active and placebo groups. Those with known allergy to pethidine, diazepam or local anaesthetics; and history of claustrophobia/ susceptible to motion sickness will be excluded. Instruments: Immersive VR Interventions: All received women will receive the standard conscious sedation with 25mg IV pethidine and 5mg IV diazepam; and paracervical block of 10ml 1% lignocaine. VR headset will be put on for every woman. It will only be switched on for the active VR group but not the placebo VR group. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome measure is the maximal abdominal pain levels during TUGOR measured by a 100mm linear visual analogue scale prior. Secondary outcome measures include the pain of vaginal puncture and the abdominal pain four hours after the procedure prior to discharge from hospital. Data analysis and expected results: Data will be analysed on intention to treat basis and per protocol. Demographic features of the study groups will be compared. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test will be used for categorical variables. Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare the continuous variables between groups. P values of <0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study to examine the effect of cold therapy on pain and anxiety during venous port catheter removal.
evaluating the two final steps we added to optimize post laparoscopic cholecystectomy pain management.
The study was planned in a randomized controlled study design to determine the effect of kinesio taping applied to women who gave birth by cesarean section on acute pain, comfort level and breastfeeding behavior. The study will be carried out at Hacettepe University Adult Hospital. The universe of the research will be women who gave birth by cesarean section at Hacettepe University Hospital during the study. Women who are planned for a cesarean section, meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer, will be informed about the practice and will be included in the sample of the research. There will be two groups assigned by the randomization method in the study. It is planned that 24 women will be formed in one of them, 48 women in total. In addition to routine treatment and care, kinesio taping will be applied to women in the intervention group; the control group will receive only routine treatment and care.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of pain training applied with conventional physiotherapy on pain, range of motion, disability, kinesiophobia and quality of life in patients with neck pain. Methods: The research is planned to be completed within 18 months at Istanbul Hospital. It is planned to include 40 individualsbetween the ages of 18-65 with neck pain persisting for 3 months or more.Individuals will be randomly divided into 2 groups. Conventional physiotherapy program will be applied to the first group. Conventional physiotherapy will be applied to the second group and neuroscience education will be given.Pain intensity will evaluate before and after exercise with 'Visual Analog Scale' (VAS), and algometer,range of motion will evaluate with C-ROM, kinesiofobia will questioned with Tampa Kinesiofobia Score, Quality of life will evaluate with Nottingham Health Profile, whereas the level of neck disability will evaluate before and after exercise with 'Neck Pain and Disability Score' (NPDS). The obtained results will analyze using appropriate statistical methods.
We aim to study if there are differences in outcomes between different age groups for persons with knee or hip osteoarthritis during treatment in digitally delivered exercise and education treatment.
The purpose of this project is to compare a newly developed automatic reversing dynamic air mattress, with a regular care mattress, which is in daily use at the hospital. Focus will be on pressure relief in relation to occurrence of pressure injury, user satisfaction, and the mattresses impact on sleep and pain. The participants will be randomized to start with the intervention mattress or the control mattress. Outcomes will be measured via validated forms regarding pressure related injuries, quality of life, pain, and mattress comfort. Custom made forms will be used regarding resource use and comfort in the nursing service, especially in relation to position changes in the participants .
The diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancer involves frequent and repeated painful acts. The pediatric oncology-hematology service of Nancy's hospital innovates thanks to the involvement of clowns in the hospital. The effects of the clown's intervention corroborate the results of studies which demonstrate that when painful complaints are increased by an empathetic attitude, they are reduced by half when the child is distracted. The main objective is to assess the impact of the presence or absence of clowns during the performance of a painful act, on pain, in children who have benefited from this act. no clowns during the performance of a painful act, on anxiety, in children who have benefited from this act. The secondary objectives are: - Evaluate the impact of the presence or not of clowns during the performance of a painful act, on the anxiety of the parents of the child who benefited from this act. - Measure the perception and acceptance of the healthcare team of the presence of clowns 1 time every 3 months. - Measure the clowns' perception of their interaction with the child, the parents and the healthcare team once every 3 months. - Evaluate the overall impact of the clown intervention during the performance of a painful act in children on the course of the act by a "neutral" person (health manager) once every 3 months.
Although multiple clinical trials have been reported studying the effects of turmeric and turmeric-derived curcuminoid containing extract on pain by various study designs (including both acute and chronic pain), with the most consistent positive pain reduction benefits at turmeric or curcuminoid levels above normal dietary intake estimates, studies assessing the combination of black pepper and turmeric at culinary relevant levels for pain remediation benefits are needed. As black pepper is reported to 'enhance' the effects of co-consumed compounds, we are testing whether consumption of black pepper alters the pain alleviating effects of turmeric when consumed at levels representative of potential dietary intakes.
Cardiac surgery patients often undergo anxiousness and pain. Before surgery, anxiety is often caused by the idea of sternotomy, extracorporeal circulation, fear of post-operative pain, and even death. After surgery anxiety and pain can be the consequences of operative and peri-operative procedures. The investigators believe that reducing stress and pain by a relaxation therapy would lead to better stay in hospital and a better recovery after surgery. Music Care® relaxation technique consists into listening to an audio relaxing soundtrack chosen by the patient. This technique has already proven with several clinical studies its efficiency for reducing pain and anxiety in hospital. The research consists of comparing this technique to Peter Hess® sound massage for reducing pain and anxiety. The Peter Hess® sound massage is a holistic relaxation technique that uses sound vibrations generated by therapeutic singing bowls. Patients will be randomized in one of the two groups (Music Care® or Peter Hess®).
