Filter by:The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental trial. The children who attended a pediatric surgical clinic for venipuncture divided into two groups via randomization in the computer environment. After the randomization, the children in the guided imagery group listened to a voice recording prepared in a studio during venipuncture. This voice recording named 'Stroll in the Forest' helped the children to imagine that they are strolling in a forest and guided them. On the other hand, no application was performed on the children in the control group during the venipuncture. The primary outcome of the study was pain and secondary outcomes were heart rate and oxygen saturation values. The pain was evaluated by the children, parents, and observer. The pulse and oxygen saturation values were measured before, during, and after the venipuncture.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VX-548 doses in treating acute pain after a bunionectomy.
Pharmacist-led pharmacogenomics (PGx) clinical services and medication safety reviews are currently being offered to PACE organizations under the direction of licensed healthcare prescribers by CareKinesis d/b/a Tabula Rasa HealthCare. This project aims to include patients enrolled in PACE organizations with chronic pain and who are prescribed CYP2D6 activated opioids. PGx testing will be performed by contractual PGx vendor with TRHC. PGx results will be integrated into TRHC's proprietary Clinical Decision Support System (Medication Risk Mitigation™ Matrix, CareKinesis, Moorestown, NJ) that guides pharmacists to identify drug-drug interactions (DDIs), drug-gene interactions (DGIs), and drug-drug-gene interactions (DDGIs).16 Clinical pharmacists will translate PGx results combined with a comprehensive DDI review into actionable clinical decisions. Clinical pharmacists will provide medication therapy management recommendation to address medication problems to the PACE prescriber (physician). PACE prescribers will review the pharmacist's recommendation, and based on their clinical assessment, the prescriber will decide whether or not to implement the opioid therapy recommendation.
The aim of this randomized controlled study with crossover design is to examine the effectiveness of mother-driven interventions, skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and recorded mother's heartbeats as sound and vibration (MHB), compared to oral glucose in relieving neonatal acute pain related to heel lance as a painful procedure. The effectiveness of interventions will be assessed using validated pain scales (PIPP-R and NIAPAS), changes in sensory cortex activation (near-infrared spectroscopy, NIRS) and changes in physiological indicators (oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate). The secondary objectives will include evaluating the effectiveness of interventions in relation to infant recovery and evaluating the use of NIRS monitoring in relation to neonatal pain assessment scales.
Postoperative acute and chronic pain is frequently observed in patients undergoing video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This prolongs the discharge time of patients and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications. Recently, alternative analgesic methods such as thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB), which are thought to have less side effects than thoracic epidural analgesia, have been used. Among these methods, ultrasound (US) guided TPVB is the most preferred method. In addition, ESPB application is increasing in patients undergoing VATS. In the literature, the number of cases performed with ESPB and randomized controlled prospective studies with ESPB are increasing. In this study, it is planned to compare the effects of US-guided TPVB and ESPB on postoperative acute and chronic pain in patients undergoing VATS.
Pain during IUD insertion is substantially psychologic in origin, responds extremely well to non-pharmacologic interventions. Considering the fact that acupuncture is a modality exerting both psychologic and physiologic effects, the authors presume that acupuncture administration before IUD insertion may have positive effects on pain control. From this point of view, the aim of this study to investigate the effects of LI4 acupuncture administered shortly before IUD insertion on pain perception and discomfort of the women.
Hemorrhoidectomy is one of the operations that causes the greatest intensity of pain. Treatment of postoperative pain is essential for the well-being of the patient. Long-term use of opioids and different drugs can have unintended consequences. The objective is to corroborate which pain treatment modality is better in patients after hemorrhoidectomy.
Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) is a special department in the health care facility. Although with high development of modern medicine nowadays, the average mortality rate in ICU is still around 7 to 20 %. There are a few tricky problems that intensivists and ICU nurses faced very often, including ICU delirium, arrhythmia and poor digestion problem that will all affect the mortality and morbidity rate of critical care patients. Methods: A randomized control trial will examine the effect of press tack acupuncture vs. press tack placebos. The patients will be randomly divided (1:1) into one of two groups. A total of 80 ICU patients will have to meet the following criteria: age 20-90, newly ICU admission(<48 hours), APACHE score <30, one or no inotropic medicine use, FiO2< 60%. Three interventions will be given in each group. The main outcomes will be the incidence of arrhythmia, delirium, and poor digestion and the severity of pain. We will also record ICU mortality, ICU stays and hospital days.
To develop and refine a technology based treatment protocol for preoperative education and training and postoperative care in children and adolescents undergoing surgery.
This study is analyzing the benefit of untrained touch provided during a bone marrow biopsy procedure as compared to performing the procedure without providing it.
