Filter by:The purpose of this investigation is to determine the impact of simple resistance exercise breaks on physical activity and prolonged sedentary behavior as well as on ratings of discomfort, fatigue, and sleepiness. Participants will be enrolled in a cross-over designed study, where they will be assessed for normal activity patterns and ratings of discomfort, fatigue, and sleepiness during a typical week and compared to a week where they engage in hourly resistance exercise breaks. Subjects will also complete a feasibility questionnaire at the end to determine if such programming could be implemented into daily living. The hypothesis is that engaging in these simple, hourly resistance breaks will result in decreased ratings of discomfort, fatigue, and sleepiness as well as ratings of high feasibility for implementation of similar resistance exercise programming into their normal, everyday life. Total time spent enrolled in the study will be 4 weeks, however, the participants will only need to report to the lab on 5 different occasions totaling 120 minutes split over those 5 days. Visit one will be roughly 60 minutes long, with the following 4 visits taking roughly 15 minutes each with a visit at the beginning of the week and end of the week for both the control and experimental week.
Many medical interventions, including the dressing of central venous catheters, a common procedure used for children with cancer, cause anxiety and pain in children. This can adversely affect their care and recovery. This study aims to determine the effect of using a kaleidoscope during central venous catheter dressing on anxiety and pain in children with cancer.
Spinal surgery often involves multiple segments. The trauma of surgery is large, the duration of postoperative pain is long, and the pain is severe. Therefore, the use of opioids in perioperative period is large. Although the application of * large amounts of opioids can effectively inhibit pain, it will delay the recovery of urine retention, sedation, respiratory depression and gastrointestinal function. The delayed recovery of gastrointestinal function will increase the postoperative complications, and then increase the length of hospital stay and the cost of patients. Therefore, reducing the dosage of opioids to promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function has become the research direction. Intravenous lidocaine has been proved to be effective in reducing the dosage of opioids during the perioperative period of gastrointestinal surgery and promoting the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function. However, there are few studies on the application of lidocaine during the perioperative period of spinal surgery, especially the impact on postoperative gastrointestinal function. In this study, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled study was conducted to explore the effect of perioperative lidocaine on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after adult lumbar surgery. We hypothesized that lidocaine could shorten the recovery time of gastrointestinal function after lumbar surgery
A split-mouth, controlled trial aimed to clinically compare and evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality versus topical anesthesia gel prior to administration of dental anesthesia injection in reducing the perceived pain and anxiety level in adult patients and to find out their preferred procedure. Heart rate before and after the end of the procedure will be identified, pain intensity of the injection will be identified using a scale, and finally patients' preference will be identified using a questionnaire.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of ski sport on physical performance, pain, and quality of life compared to sedentary individuals of similar age groups and to examine the existence of gender-specific differences.
The new competence of paramedics to administer opioid analgesics in acute trauma patients without presence or phone-call consult with an emergency medical doctor will be assessed in this study.
The ANI monitor is a medical device allowing to measure the response of the autonomic nervous system to a painful stimulus. In the pediatric population under general anesthesia, the ANI score can detect failure of locoregional anesthesia; ANI decreases after painful stimulation during surgery, more markedly with smaller doses of Remifentanil. To date, measurement of ANI in sedated children in pediatric intensive care has not been performed or validated as a method of assessing pain and discomfort.
Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a pain that occurs in the menstrual period without pathological pelvic disorder. Excessive prostaglandin release causes uterine contraction and leads to uterine hypoxia and ischemia, which results in extreme abdominal cramps and pain. Music therapy is one of the complementary treatment methods in the management of pain for PD which is an intervention that is not expensive and has no side effects. Another complementary treatment method is for PD is chocolate. In the literature; there have a few studies about the effect of the music and dark chocolate on the primary dysmenorrhea but no studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of the music and dark chocolate on PD. The following is the protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial, where an experimental group 1 listened to a 30-minute song, an experimental group 2 ate dark chocolate and a control group had no intervention for the same time and conditions. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of dark chocolate and music on PD. This pain measured through a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in nursing students from the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Manisa Celal Bayar University, Manisa, Turkey. Additionally, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to assess the trait and state anxiety.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of yoga practice on pain intensity, menstruation symptoms and quality of life in nursing students with primary dysmenorrhea. The hypothesis of this study is that yoga reduces pain and menstrual symptom severity and improves quality of life.
This is a descriptive, prospective, non-controlled clinical investigation to be conducted on approximately 10 enrolled subjects at one site at Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen, Norway. The target subjects are male or female, 18-70 years, diagnosed with MS according to revised McDonald criteria (9) with spasticity and pain associated with the spasticity. Spasticity is evaluated based on self-reported spasticity using the numerical rating scale (NRS) which describes the average score of spasticity over the last 24 hours at >4 (where the scale scores spasticity from 0-10, where 0 is no spasticity, and 10 is worst possible spasticity), - combined with pain in the lower extremities last 24 hours. The pilot investigation is done to evaluate if FlowOx2.0™ can be used to treat spasticity with concomitant pain in patients with multiple sclerosis, using intermittent negative pressure affecting arteriovenous reflex.
