Filter by:Third molar extraction is the most common surgical procedure in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery and usually cause anxiety. Although different informed consent methods have been used previously, the most effective information method that provide the optimum anxiety management is still not clear. Therefore, investigators planned a clinical study to explore the effect of different information formats (verbal information with written document and verbal information with written document subsequent to watching video from internet) on peri-operative anxiety of the participants who scheduled to undergo impacted lower third molar surgery. Also, investigators aimed to explore the effect internet usage before the third molar surgery on the level of anxiety.
Opioid prescription drug abuse has become a major public health concern in the United States with mortality rates from fatal overdoses reaching epidemic proportions. This opioid crisis coincides with national efforts to improve management of chronic non-cancer pain. The net result, however, has been ever-growing increases in medical expenditures related to prescription costs and increased healthcare service utilization among opioid abusers. Healthcare provider prescribing pattern, especially among non-pain management specialists such as primary care, is a major factor. Louisiana is a major contributor to the epidemic with the 7th highest opioid prescribing rates accompanied by a 12% increase in fatal overdoses. Providers are overdue for implementing safe opioid management strategies in primary care to combat the opioid crisis. Recent practice guidelines provide recommendations on what to do for safe prescribing of opioids, but they do not provide guidance on how to translate them into practice. Health systems must find ways to accelerate guideline adoption in primary care in the face of an overdose crisis. Research that examines a combination workflow- and provider-focused strategies are needed. Given the high prevalence of psychiatric disorders among patients with chronic non-cancer pain, care team expansion with integration of collaborative mental/behavioral health services may be the solution. Collaborative care can extend opioid management beyond standardized monitoring of risk factors for opioid misuse or abuse and set clear protocols for next steps in management. This study is aligned with the National Institute on Drug Abuse's interest in health systems research that examines approaches to screening, assessment, prevention, diagnosis and treatment for prescription drug abuse. It will examine the primary care practice redesign of managing chronic non-cancer pain within a large health system whose 40+ Accountable Care Network-affiliated, adult primary care clinics may serve as an example for transforming opioid management in primary care practices across the country. This four-year type 2 effectiveness-implementation hybrid stepped wedge cluster randomized control trial is designed to compare the clinical and cost effectiveness of electronic medical record-based clinical decision support guided care versus additional integrated, stepped collaborative care for opioid management of primary care patients with chronic non-cancer pain (clinical pharmacist for medication management; licensed clinical social worker for cognitive behavioral therapy and community health worker care coordination); and to examine facilitators and barriers to implementing this multi-component intervention. Investigators anticipate that our study results will elucidate the role of technology versus care team optimization in changing provider opioid prescribing behaviors. Investigators further anticipate that results of our study will demonstrate that integrated mental/behavioral health care for opioid management of chronic non-cancer pain increases value-based care and leads to greater efficiencies in the way that care is delivered.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of t-CETA, a version of Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) adapted to be delivered over the telephone, in treating common mental health problems in 8-17 year old Syrian refugee children living in Lebanon. Children will be randomly assigned to receive either t-CETA or treatment as usual provided by Médecins du Monde, an NGO providing medical and mental health services to Syrian refugees in Lebanon. If families do not agree to randomisation, they will be offered t-CETA and their data will be used to evaluate implementation and acceptability of the intervention. Symptoms of common mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and behavioural problems, and psychological well-being, will be measured before treatment, immediately after treatment, and three months after treatment is completed. Groups will be compared to determine if t-CETA is at least as effective as standard treatment provided by Médecins du Monde.
Background: Anxiety is a common phenomenon in hospitalized patients. In order to reduce it during the surgical procedure, sedatives and anxiolytics are used, which can cause undesirable side effects for patients. Music is described as an effective tool to reduce this anxiety suffered by the patient in the perioperative process. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of music in patients anxiety and pain during perioperative process in surgical intervention with regional anaesthesia without sedatives or anxiolytics. Design: A randomized parallel clinical trial study with single-blinded and three harms. Setting: Operating theater of a public district hospital (serving around 111.000 people) Participants: All patients operated of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) with regional anaesthesia with age between 50 and 85 years old within level I or II of the classification of the American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA). Methods: A total of 81 patients for TKA were randomly assigned to: a control group (headphones without music, without sedation), a sedative group (headphones without music, with sedation) and a experimental group (headphones with music, without sedation). 27 participants for each group. All the participants were using headphones so that it was a single-blinded study. The experimental group were provided with the same music, Piano Guys group. The variables of study were: the pain was measured by vale numerical scale (VNS), the anxiety was measured by the use of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), heart rate (HR) variability, blood pressure (BP) variability, saturation of oxygen (Sat02). Relevance to Clinical Practice: sedation that can causes unwanted side effects by surgical patients can be replaced by music. The music decrease anxiety and pain values in orthopaedic surgery patients. Keywords: Anxiety, Drugs, Music therapy, Pain, Perioperative, Surgery.
In the proposed study the investigators will develop an early prenatal preventive intervention targeting anxiety and conduct a randomized controlled trial in Pakistan to test its efficacy in reducing generalized anxiety disorder and major depression in mothers in late pregnancy and the postnatal period. Investigators will evaluate the impact of the intervention on fetal and infant growth restriction as well as examine how the impact of the intervention is mediated (to elucidate mechanisms) and/or modified (to help optimize future adaptations of the program) by various social factors. A cost-effectiveness evaluation will shed light on the costs and benefits of intervention components in relation to outcomes, enabling policy-makers and public health planners to scale up this intervention according to resource budgeting requirements.
The purpose of this research is to find out how people with epilepsy and possible symptoms of anxiety or depression are doing for 6 months after a regular epilepsy clinic visit. Participants in this study will complete questionnaires either by phone or via the patient portal.
The proposed randomized study evaluates whether a controlled breathing intervention could be efficacious for reducing pain in the MRI-guided breast biopsy setting. Support for this intervention stems from experimental and clinical studies on the effects of controlled breathing on pain. Implementing a controlled breathing intervention during MRI-guided breast biopsy has the potential to provide effective pain management in this outpatient setting. The primary study objectives are to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a novel audio-recorded controlled breathing intervention for reducing breast and body pain in women undergoing MRI-guided breast biopsy. The secondary study objectives are to evaluate the effects of controlled breathing on measures of physiological reactivity (i.e., blood pressure and heart rate), pain catastrophizing, and self-efficacy for pain and anxiety.
In October, 2017, Northern California experienced devastating and historic wildfires. Sonoma Rises is an app designed for anyone who was impacted by this event and is intended to help survivors of disaster find their new normal. This study will assess the feasibility and efficacy of a self-help post-disaster mental health intervention delivered via a mobile app with a sample of teens who are experiencing post-disaster mental health symptoms.
The cystoscopy procedure may cause pain and anxiety in patients. Since cystoscopy causes more pain in men, studies on pain and anxiety during cystoscopy are more common in men than women. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of watching relaxing video during cystoscopy on the pain and anxiety levels of female patients.
A mixed methods randomized controlled feasibility and acceptability study will be conducted to determine the effects of a self-managed, focused breathing intervention on anxiety in persons who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
