Filter by:The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Empowered Relief for Youth with chronic pain (ER-Y). ER-Y is a single-session pain management class for youth focused on pain science education and teaching self-regulatory skills for pain management based on the evidence-based adult ER class. Feasibility and acceptability of ER-Y will be assessed post-class. Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by administering surveys at baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks post class.
Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) in children are common (14%) and abdominal pain has increased rapidly in children during the last ten years in Sweden. Many children with FAPDs have low quality of life, missed school days, and about 30-40% suffer from psychiatric comorbidity. FAPDs are often sustained into adulthood and a large Swedish cohort study showed that abdominal pain during childhood is an independent strong predictor anxiety and depression later in life. Internet-cognitive behavioral therapy (Internet-CBT) can improve FAPD symptoms, but a significant number of children does not respond to the treatment. We will here determine the pain regulation in children with FAPDs, compared with healthy controls, and assess: What aspects of the child's pain regulation is related to improvement for children with FAPDs engaging in Internet-CBT? Does some aspects of the child's pain regulation change during treatment?
The objectives of this study are to identify neural mechanisms of increased pain in pediatric FAPD and examine mechanisms of disrupted attention in the presence of induced pain. The overarching goal is to determine whether youth with FAPD process pain differently than healthy youth and to identify the brain areas involved.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of abdominal massage on pain and distention in patients who underwent colonoscopy. Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted between October 2019 and December 2021 with the participation of 60 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital. Thirty patients performing abdominal massage after colonoscopy were included in the experimental group.
The goal of this basic science study is to learn about the brain mechanisms of chronic pain across different chronic pain syndromes in pediatric patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are there shared and distinct brain systems engaged by different forms of pediatric chronic pain? - What are predictors of recovery from chronic pain? - What brain systems are associated with the spread of pain? For this study participants will undergo: - Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) - Quantitative Sensory Testing - Psychological Assessments
Peppermint oil has shown to be effective in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms in adults. Few studies of low quality are performed in an paediatric setting. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized, placebo controlled trial to investigate the effects of an eight-week peppermint oil treatment in paediatric IBS or Functional Abdominal Pain - Not otherwise specified (FAP-NOS) patients.
The evaluation of patients with abdominal pain is a challenge for the emergency physician and the selection of patients for second-level radiological examinations or endoscopic procedures is not always easy to perform. Faecal calprotectin could be a useful diagnostic marker to distinguish between "organic" or "functional" form and its determination could be helpful to select patients for further examinations, in the context of emergency setting.
Disorders of the autonomic nervous system are considered another possible cause of dysmenorrhea. spinal manual threapty is acting on the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves. The sacrum affects all vertebrae, which affects the position of this bone, is thought to have a lot to do with dysmenorrhea. In this study, by applying spinal manual threapty threapty to the sacroiliac joint in women in their 20s with primary dysmenorrhea, we tried to present an effective treatment method by evaluating the function of the autonomic nervous system and confirming the occurrence of pain in the lower abdomen.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about spatial and temporal nociceptive filtering in adolescents with chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. If spatial and temporal filtering of nociceptive information is disrupted in youth with COPCs compared with youth with localized pain conditions and healthy controls. 2. If disrupted nociceptive processing at baseline is associated with the transition from a single localized pain condition to COPCs in youth. Participation includes: - quantitative sensory testing - blood draw - sleep assessment - questionnaires
This research is carried out by research assistant Semiha Kurt under the supervision of Associate Professor Nuray TURAN. In this research aimed to examine the effect of abdominal massage applied after surgical ıntervention on gastrointestinal symptoms and comfort level. The type of this study designed as randomized controlled experimental. The research hypotheses are as follows; H1: Abdominal massage applied after surgery reduces the gastrointestinal symptoms of patients. H2: Abdominal massage applied after surgery increases the comfort level of patients. The population of the research will consist patients who were hospitalized and underwent surgical intervention between January 2023 and July 2024 in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic of the Istanbul Medical Faculty Hospital in Istanbul.The sample of the research will consist patients who cannot defecate for 3 days after surgery and who meet other sample selection criteria. As a result of the power analysis (G*Power 3.0.10); at least 34 samples found to be sufficient for each group with f=0.20 effect size, 90% power and 5% margin of error (n1:34, n2:34). The number of samples determined as 68 (including the experimental and control groups). Data will be collected through the Patient Information Form, Bristol Stool Scale, Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, General Comfort Scale, and Functional Independence Scale. The patient information form was prepared by the researchers in line with the literature. Permission was obtained from the scale owners for the scales to be used in the study. In the implementation phase of the research; in the formation of the experimental and control groups, the assignment of the patients to the experimental and control groups will be provided by randomization in the computer. Abdominal massage will be applied to the patients in the experimental group twice a day, in the morning and evening, for 3 days. Each abdominal massage will be applied for 15 minutes. The routine practice of the clinic will continue in the patients in the control group. Institutional permission from Istanbul Medical Faculty and ethics committee approval (Number: E-74555795-050.01.04-412448) from Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Non-Interventional Research Ethics Committee obtained in order to conduct the study. Statistical analysis of research data will be done using a package program called SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics 24). The expenses of the research will be covered by the researcher.
