Filter by:The purpose of this prospective, randomized, and controlled trial was to compare the efficacy of single-shot spinal analgesia to typical conventional treatments (continuous epidural analgesia and spinal-epidural combination) in reducing labor pain, particularly in multiparous women. we will enroll in each of the three groups(S group= single-shot Spinal group), (E group= Continuous Epidural), and (C group = combined spinal-epidural) women in advanced active labor and fulfill inclusion criteria.
Every year, 1 million women cease breastfeeding (BF) before 6 months, the minimum time required for optimal maternal well-being and infant's health, physical growth, and development. The highest rate of BF cessation occurs within 3 weeks after birth, with 30% of women ceasing BF due to acute breast and nipple pain (BNP). BNP is a complex and understudied biobehavioral phenomenon involving nociceptive signalling that stimulates multiple pain pathways. Women who experience BNP beyond BF initiation report lower BF self-efficacy a key predictor of BF at 6 months, increased maternal distress symptoms, and may differ across races contributing to differences in early BF cessation rates. The investigators developed and tested a 6-week nurse-led and participant-informed, Breastfeeding and Breast and Nipple Pain Self-Management (BSM) intervention guided by the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory. Aligned with the needs and preferences elicited from a diverse sample of BF participants, the investigators used a cloud-based platform, to deliver BF knowledge and skills, and provided support through nurse-led text-based communication to decrease BNP, increase BF self-efficacy, decrease burdensome face-to-face visits, and increase adaptive coping behaviors. Participants in the BSM intervention group reported significantly reduced BNP intensity at 1 and 2 weeks which predicted increased BF self-efficacy and decreased anxiety at 6 weeks. Based on these promising results, the investigators propose to examine the efficacy of the BSM intervention in an R56 RCT, Promoting Self-Management of Breast and Nipple Pain Using Technology (PROMPT) for Breastfeeding Women to decrease BNP intensity and interference and increase BF exclusivity. The study will reproduce and extend the pilot findings by exploring in a diverse population of BF participants, how participants' pain sensitivity affects BNP. The study will explore the moderating role of BNP, and maternal well-being symptoms of fatigue, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and sleep, pain, pain coping, and maternal self-efficacy, on BF exclusivity. Participants (N = 222) intending to breastfeed will be randomized to the BSM intervention or the attention control group with assessments performed at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 weeks. Study results will advance knowledge on the BSM intervention, with direct implications for nurse-designed and led self-management interventions in clinical settings or health care systems.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate continuous ultrasound treatment with diclofenac coupling patch during routine care of musculoskeletal injuries which failed conservative treatment to better understand clinical utilization of the treatment on types of injuries, how the treatment helps patients (pain, function and quality of life), and information on healthcare provider ordering the therapy and general workflow. Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is a bio regenerative technology used when normal rehabilitation is insufficient, applied with a wearable device (SAM, Zetroz Systems LLC) for daily use. The treatment provides long-duration ultrasound for approximately four hours. The objective of this study is to examine the real-world outcome data on symptoms improvement and return to function using SAM during routine care.
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the Helfer Skin Tapping technique on pain, fear, and anxiety in children who received intramuscular injections. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the the control group in the mean score of the "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale", "Child Fear Scale", and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" during and after the Helfer Skin Tapping technique. H1: During and after the Helfer Skin Tapping technique, the mean score of the "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale", "Child Fear Scale", and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" is significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be one of the longest lasting pandemics experienced in recent times. Although the disease shows symptoms in different ways, the most effective diagnostic method known is the PCR test. This procedure is an unknown test method that many people have never had in their lifetime. Uncertainty in any subject causes stress and fear in the person. When the suspicion of a disease is added to this situation, the situation can reach even more serious dimensions. For this reason, it can be said that the PCR test can cause many problems, especially fear and pain. The most important health professional that the patient can reach before, during and after the test is the nurse. In order for the nurse to complete the test in a short time and with success, it may be necessary for the applicants to keep their fear levels under control and to support their fear management. In addition, the nurse plays an important role in the assessment and management of pain. In the literature review, no study was found on reducing the fear and pain of the adolescents who gave the PCR Test. It is also thought that breathing exercises and stress ball can be an advantageous method in reducing pain and fear, considering their easy accessibility, affordable cost and long-term use. For this reason, this study was planned to determine the effect of stress ball and breathing exercises on the management of fear and pain that may occur due to PCR testing.
Shotblocker and breastfeeding are an attempt to reduce pain during invasive procedures in newborns. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of non-pharmacological interventions on the pain and comfort level of newborns, whose heel blood will be taken in the 1st Level Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
In this retrospective cohort study, we assess the relationship between the intensity of early postoperative pain and the risk of infectious- and non-infectious complications within 30 days after major abdominal surgery.
This study will compare the efficacy of two different non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ketorolac and ibuprofen for people with acute moderate or severe musculoskeletal pain. The investigators will also determine whether taking acetaminophen prior to the NSAID impacts efficacy
Introduction: Approximately 10-14 painful procedures per day are performed in preterm and term infants during the hospital stay in the first week. The investigators aimed to determine the effect of reflexology being applied to the sole during painful procedures on pain perception, behavioral responses, and physiological changes in newborns compared with other non-pharmacological methods. Material and Method: This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial in term infants being followed up in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and maternity ward. To reduce pain during attempts to collect venous blood or heel lance which are routinely applied to term newborns before discharge; reflexology on the soles of the foot, 24% sucrose solution, kangaroo care, listening to classical music were applied to the babies and were compared to those who did not have any analgesic method.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acupressure applied before CA procedure on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse and pain intensity parameters after CA. Design: The study is a randomized controlled trial. Setting: The study occurred at Cardiology Service (CS) of a Training and Research Hospital in Turkey. Participants: One hundred patients whomet the research criteria.
