Filter by:The investigators propose a pilot clinical trial on the use of perioperative pregabalin in order to decrease ureteral stent related symptoms and decrease opioid usage after ureteroscopy with stent placement. Patients undergoing ureteroscopy with stent placement will receive a single dose of 300 mg pregabalin PO in the preoperative area. This work will assess safety and feasibility of studying this regimen at our institution, with the aim of performing a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study in the future.
Different non-pharmacological techniques, including hypnosis and virtual reality are currently used as complementary tools in the treatment of pain related to burn injury. A new technique called 'virtual reality hypnosis' (VRH) (Patterson et al., 2004), which encompasses a combination of both tools, is regularly used although its actual function remains unknown to this date. With the goal to improve our understanding of VRH combination effects, it is necessary to elaborate randomized and controlled research studies in order to understand their actual function in individual's perception. 100 patients who are treated as outpatients for burn care will be randomly assigned to virtual reality or VRH. Patients will receive one session of one of these techniques during burn dressing change.Physiological parameters will be recorded during dressing change. Participants will fill in a questionnaire evaluating their tendency to be absorbed and dissociated, and another evaluating their level of perceived immersion. Their level of anxiety, pain, fatigue and relaxation will be evaluated before and after the session. A short interview will also be conducted to give participants the opportunity to openly describe their experience.
Liposomal bupivacaine has gained interest in recent literature for its potential to be an effective adjunct to other pain control modalities in a multi-modal approach to post-operative pain control. The goal of this investigation is to compare the efficacy of local administration of liposomal bupivacaine versus the efficacy of a peripheral nerve block in terms of post-operative pain scores after elective ankle and hindfoot surgery. The investigators hypothesize that there will not be a significant difference in the pain scores of these two groups in opioid naïve patients.
This is a clinical trial that intend to determine the effects of S-ketamine on event-related potentials associated with semantic affective pain-processing
Aim: The study was carried out in randomized control to determine the effect of two different distractions on pain and anxiety during blood collection. Methods: The population of the study consisted of children between ages of 4-10 years who applied for venipuncture to a training and research hospital in Turkey between July and December 2018. A total of 139 children were included in the study, 46 of them with virtual reality goggles and 43 of them with control group. Information Form, Child Anxiety Scale, Visual Analogue Scale and Wong Baker Pain Scale were used in the collection of data.
The treatment of acute severe pain in pediatric emergencies required a quick and effective therapeutic support. Actually in France, only peripheral venous access or oral therapies with onset of action are commonly used and only few treatments can be used to manage the acute severe pain in children. In June 2017, an intranasal fentanyl use protocol has been established in the pediatric emergency department of Mercy hospital-Metz. The intranasal fentanyl treatment has proved his effectiveness and safe condition in many countries since few years even though has not yet obtained a marketing authorization for use in children in France. In view of the information, parental permission was obtained before the intranasal administration. The efficacy and surveillance data in all patient records of children who benefited this analgesic protocol were retrospectively collected between June 2017 and August 2018. This retrospective study wants to describe the efficacy and safety of intranasal fentanyl on the pediatric emergency department.
Aim: The study was aimed to identifying the effects of foot massage and acupressure on pain during heel lancing in neonates. Methods: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was performed in a university hospital in Turkey between April-December 2018. Neonates were randomized into three groups as acupressure, massage and control groups. Data were obtained by using Information form, Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), pulse oximeter device and chronometer. Acupressure was applied to the neonates in the acupressure group and massage was given to the neonates in the massage group for 2 minutes before heel lancing procedure. Pain levels of the neonates in the groups were evaluated during and 1 minute after heel lancing procedure. Furthermore, the oxygen saturation and heart rate values of the neonates in the groups were measured by pulse oximeter device before, during and after heel lancing procedure. Duration of crying and heel lancing procedure were recorded by chronometer.
This study will prospectively compare the mean Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain score reduction amongst three recommended dosing strategies of intravenous ketamine (0.1 mg/kg, 0.2 mg/kg, and 0.3mg/kg) for acute pain in the emergency department (ED).This study will also examine the frequency of adverse events secondary to ketamine including fatigue, dizziness, nausea, headache, feeling of unreality, changes in hearing or vision, mood changes, generalized discomfort, and hallucinations, changes in vital signs. Subgroups for exploratory analysis based on the need for rescue analgesia within two hours of ketamine administration, adequate pain relief, previous opioid tolerance, and age (adults < 65 years old and > 65 years old).
The aim of this study is to determinate the equipotent doses of inhaled metoxyflurane vs. intravenous fentanyl.
Researchers are trying to determine if a high ankle block during ankle surgery provides the same pain relief as the standard regional block.
