Filter by:To evaluate the impact of using virtual reality glasses using sign language as a distraction method to reduce the dental anxiety in moderate to severe hearing-impaired children compared to the conventional behavior management technique during pulpotomy treatment. The study will be a randomized controlled parallel two arms clinical trial, a total of 40 healthy children aged 5-7 years with moderate to severe hearing disability, will be selected from Pediatric Dentistry and dental public health Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Egypt. Children selected should have at least one primary molar indicated for pulpotomy. The eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the study group, which will use virtual reality glasses with sign language as a distraction method to manage children's behavior, and the control group, which will use the conventional behavior management strategies including show-tell-do, and positive reinforcement. Local anesthesia will be given and pulpotomy procedure will be done on the selected tooth followed by stainless steel crown restoration. Pre and post-operative assessment of child's dental anxiety will be done using three methods: physiologically using pulse oximeter for measuring the heart rate, objectively using Venham clinical anxiety rating scale, and subjectively using the modified facial image scale.
Pain, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, etc. In coping with symptoms, virtual reality glasses are recommended as a distraction application. The study was planned to examine the effect of virtual reality glasses applied to mothers whose babies were in the neonatal intensive care unit, on the level of anxiety and the amount of breast milk.
A substantial part of children/adolescents with anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (AD/OCD) do not profit substantially from first-choice treatment (i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy; CBT). For them, no evidence-based treatment is available. The aim of this project is to evaluate and optimize a newly-developed personalized, short, and intensive exposure-based intervention, 'HANDS-ON', for 'treatment non-responders'. Collaboration with children, parents and teachers, guided exposure in a child's natural environment, personalized treatment goals and meaning/motivation are central principles. Methods: A multiple baseline single-case experimental design is used (qualitative and quantitative). Participants are children/adolescents (10-18 years; N=12) with an AD/OCD diagnosis for whom standard CBT did not lead to sufficient improvement. Children and parents are asked to complete questionnaires before, during, and after the treatment. Children, parents, and school professionals will be asked to participate in qualitative interviews to evaluate their experiences with the HANDS-ON treatment program.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common gastroenterological disorders with a reported prevalence of 10% to 20% percent in Europe and the USA and less than 5% in Asia. GERD manifests as heartburn, regurgitation, retrosternal pain, cough, and in some cases dysphagia and holds the possible complication of a Barrett´s esophagus. GERD can appear as non-erosive (NERD) or erosive (ERD). Comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression are common in GERD patients: The association between anxiety or depression and reflux symptoms has been investigated in previous studies under the aspects of whether existing reflux symptomatology leads to increased anxiety and depression or whether anxiety and depression lead to more severe reflux symptoms. There is a an interaction between GERD and psychosocial disorders. A long duration of GERD was associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression, and women were more likely to have these symptoms. In patients with Barrett's esophagus, a complication of GERD in which the mucosal cells of the esophagus, under constant exposure to stomach acid, change into a different type of cell normally found in the intestinal tract, rates of anxiety and depression have been reported to be three to five times higher than in the general population. Anxiety and depression as well as adverse events in life are also independent risk factors for NERD. Patients with NERD show an increased risk for anxiety compared with patients with ERD. The reporting of somatic symptoms is multifactorial and influenced by psychosocial factors such as socioeconomic status, sex and mental distress. A high somatic symptom load is known to increase anxiety related to health issues, psychological distress and health care utilization. The increased sensation to visceral stimuli in which anxiety and depression play an important role has been discussed as visceral hypersensitivity. Several studies of patients with reflux symptoms have used the Hopsital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score as a measure of anxiety and depression and have reported higher anxiety scores than depression scores for this cohort. The aim of this study was to assess anxiety and depression levels of patients with physiological as well as with pathological DeMeester scores. Further the modulation of anxiety on the severity of reflux symptoms such as fullness, heartburn and dysphagia is examined.
This study explores the use of virtual reality (VR) to reduce pain and anxiety during thyroid biopsies and PICC line insertions under local anesthesia. One group experienced the procedure with VR, while the other group did not. Participants completed questionnaires before and after the surgery to measure pain and anxiety levels. The main goal is to observe if VR can significantly decrease pain and anxiety during these procedures.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about pain, anxiety, and impacts on oral health-related quality of life(OHRQoL) for patients before, during and after orthodontic treatment. The recruited participants with good health are from Kaohsiung medical university and local dental clinics . The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The differences of pain, anxiety, and impacts on oral health-related quality of life(OHRQoL) for patients before, during and after orthodontic treatment. 2. The correlation of pain, anxiety and oral health-related quality of life in our participant 3. The differences of seven domain in OHIP-14 scale in our participants The participants are asked to complete a self-administered in different time point.
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether positive psychology interventions via a hybrid approach will enhance well-being and resilience amongst anaesthesiologists in Hong Kong. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is app-based positive psychology intervention effective in improving well-being of physicians? - Is app-based positive psychology intervention feasible amongst busy healthcare professionals? Participants will be randomized to one of the two groups: - Four-week web-based interventions - Control group Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if the participants' benefit from the positive psychology intervention compared with not receiving it.
This study aims to examine the scientific mechanisms of whole-body hyperthermia (WBH), a novel, rapidly acting, single session antidepressant and anxiolytic therapy. It also aims to determine its feasibility and acceptability in women with postpartum depression (PPD). The study will enroll four cohorts of participants: healthy postpartum controls; postpartum women with PPD; healthy adult controls; and adults with major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders in a longitudinal protocol.
This study aims to Evaluate and compare the role of Damask rose essential oils in reducing a child's dental anxiety and pain undergoing local anesthesia administration
Latinos in the U.S. experience significant disparities in access to mental health services due to lack of health insurance, language barriers, low availability of bilingual providers, mental health stigma, and fear of deportation. There is an urgent need to identify low-cost, culturally appropriate interventions to reduce mental health disparities among this population. This project will address that need by implementing and testing CRISOL Mente, a multi-level, culturally-congruent community intervention to improve the mental health of the Latino population in Philadelphia.
