Filter by:Patients undergoing colonoscopy were divided into progressive relaxation exercises and control groups. Pretest and posttest abdominal pain and distention scores of the patients were determined after colonoscopy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of supplementation with Bifidobacterium longum 35624® Alflorex® on frequency and severity of symptoms of abdominal pain using an adapted Irritable Bowel Symptom Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS) to accurately reflect the pediatric population using the aid of the validated Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS-II) in children with Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDs).
Non-traumatic abdominal pain is one of the most frequent complaints in Emergency Medicine. Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has good performance in these situations. It is performed at the patient's bedside with immediate results. It has been demonstrated that a clinician-performed ultrasound was able to increase the diagnosis accuracy in patients with acute abdominal pain. However, the level of evidence of its diagnostic efficacy remains controversial in particular in Europe. The principal investigators thus aimed to investigate the efficacy of early POCUS on diagnostic accuracy in the context of of non-traumatic abdominal pain by a randomized control study conducted in two emergency departments (ED). Secondary objectives will be comparison between the two groups for time spent in the ED before diagnosis and disposition (discharged home or hospitalization), prescription of complementary examinations and in particular, radiologic exams.
The practice of Reiki and back massage applications in support of pharmacological treatment is among the nursing initiatives and these practices increase the autonomy of the profession. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Reiki and back massage on pain, analgesic use and vital signs in women who had undergone open abdominal hysterectomy. This was an experimental study with a single, blinded, pretest-posttest control group. The population of the study consisted of women who had abdominal hysterectomy in the Obstetrics Clinics at Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital and Dicle University Hospital between July 2017 and February 2018. The patients were divided into three groups: Reiki, back massage and control, with 34 patients in each group. Reiki or back massage were applied for 20 minutes once a day to the patients in the Reiki and back massage groups.
Single center, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial in patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with a chief complaint of nausea or vomiting. A total of 300 patients age 18-55 presenting to the emergency department with chief complaint of nausea or vomiting will be enrolled from February 2021 - February 2022. Patients will be randomized and symptom levels will be recorded at 30, 60, 90, minutes. Follow-up will be performed by telephone at 24 hours.
This pilot and feasibility study will be first US study to determine if a magnetically controlled capsule (MCC) can effectively visualize the anatomy of the stomach like a more traditional upper endoscopy (EGD). This study is designed to enroll participants who have a standard indication for an EGD and are also willing to get an MCC exam. The MCC is driven actively by a clinician unlike prior capsule endoscopes that move passively by gravity or peristalsis. Thus, a physician will be able to look more closely at areas of the stomach that might be concerning and might need further evaluation and/or treatment.
The proposed research will be a prospective, observational study to test the hypothesis that anchoring will affect verbal pain scores in the emergency department. There will be a small retrospective aspect to this study to obtain patient satisfaction ratings.
The main aim of this study is to determine the effects of short-term treatment with hesperidin on COVID-19 symptoms in comparison with a placebo. Treatment effects will be observed through a symptoms diary that will be completed by participants throughout the study and by taking the oral temperature daily.
The proposed research will be a single blinded (patient) randomized controlled prospective trial of adult patients receiving treatment for moderate to severe abdominal pain to test the hypothesis that patient satisfaction with pain control with Ketamine will be comparable to patient satisfaction with pain control using morphine when treating abdominal pain.
In this retrospective observational case study, the investigators review the clinical experience with pressure-pain algometry in children with suspected appendicitis. The investigators hypothesized that algometry can discriminate children with appendicitis from children without appendicitis and aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of algometry, compared to ultrasound imaging and clinical assessment.
