Filter by:Anxiety is a natural human response when facing challenging circumstances or threats to oneself. It is highly prevalent, estimated to range from 3.8% to 25%. Anxiety significantly impacts daily life and the overall quality of life. Of particular concern is the potential for anxiety to increase cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, a higher incidence of heart disease, and premature mortality. Anxiety occurs in nearly everyone, but university students are particularly prone to experiencing anxiety and higher levels of mental stress compared to the general population. This trend is notably pronounced among medical students, a group with a significantly higher prevalence of anxiety that can reach as high as 90%. Multiple factors contribute to this anxiety and stress, notably the pressure of academic examinations. Several studies suggest that acupuncture not only positively affects anxiety but also has fewer side effects compared to pharmacological treatments. Among these, a form of acupuncture known as auricular acupuncture (AA) is considered safe and has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing pre-surgical and dental anxiety. However, evidence supporting its effectiveness in reducing examination anxiety among medical students remains insufficient. Hence, in this study, we have designed a randomized controlled trial, including a placebo arm, to establish the efficacy and safety of AA in addressing this issue.
Preoperative anxiety occurs commonly in elective caesarean section and is associated with increased perioperative morbidity. Some groups have used non-pharmacological techniques such as acupressure for its treatment since drugs cross the placenta.
The study included 120 male patients who would undergo a prostate biopsy. Patients were divided into 3 groups as placebo group (n = 40), Levander group (N = 40), and Frankincense group (n = 40). Aromatherapy agents were added to the nebulizer at a rate of 2%. Only saline solution was applied to the placebo group. The nebulizer was prepared and operated in the room where the prostate biopsy would be performed before the procedure. Patients were taken to the room 5 minutes before the procedure and the nebulizer was operated during the procedure. The level of anxiety was evaluated by the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I). After the procedure, the patient was rested and were again filled out the STAI-1 form. After that, the data of all the patients involved in the study was compared.
This study is a Randomized Controlled trial.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training on postoperative mobility, anxiety level and pain in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Hypotheses of the study: H1= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative anxiety level in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. H2= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative mobility in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. H3= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative pain in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
This prospective randomized trial evaluated the effect of music interventions on anxiety and nervousness during 10 consecutive days in individuals undergoing their first radiation therapy session.
To investigate the anxiolytic effects of binaural beat-embedded audio in patients undergoing sedation-free upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and anxiety on masseter muscle thickness by using ultrasonography.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of melatonin, diazepam, and placebo on the level of anxiety in patients undergoing surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is melatonin effective in reducing the anxiety of patients undergoing surgery? Participants will be asked to answer a questionnaire then they will receive either melatonin, diazepam, or placebo, and then after an hour, they will answer the same questionnaire again. Researchers will compare melatonin, diazepam, and placebo to see if melatonin is as effective in reducing the level of anxiety as diazepam in patients undergoing surgery.
Dental anxiety is considered to be one of the fears and concerns associated with dental treatment. Lavender has a relaxing and anxiolytic aroma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy on dental anxiety in bilateral impacted wisdom tooth surgery.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of virtual reality technology on anxiety and pain levels in patients undergoing periodontal surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned into test and control groups. While the patients in the test group will undergo periodontal surgery with virtual reality distraction, the patients in the control group without distraction. After treatment, the groups will be compared regarding anxiety and pain levels.
