NCT ID: NCT05847816 Not yet recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

The Effects of Three Different Techniques During PIVC

Start date: May 17, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Purpose: This study will conducted to the effect of three different techniques used during peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) application on vein visibility, pain and comfort in cancer patients receiving palliative care. Design: This is a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: The population of the research will be cancer patients who applied to Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital Oncology unit between April 2023 and November 2024. The number of applications due to palliative care and cancer treatment in the clinic in 2021 is 352 patients. For this reason, direct sample selection was not made in the study, and the sample calculation was made according to the number of patients registered in the unit and the results of previous research (Chiao et al., 2013; Aulagnier et al., 2014). Calculations were made using the "G.Power-3.17" program with 95% confidence, an effect size of 0.4, and a statistical test power of at least 80%. Accordingly, it was aimed to reach 120 patients, including at least 40 in each group. In the study, randomization will be made according to vein visibility.

NCT ID: NCT05637593 Not yet recruiting - Parkinson Disease Clinical Trials

Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Upper-limb Movements in PD Patients

Start date: January 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine effects of training involving rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on upper-limb movements and functions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: the RAS group and the no-RAS group. Patients will receive training with or without the aid of RAS based on their groups. The training task is to use the right hand to take beads from one bowl to another bowl. The box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test will be used before and after training (i.e., pretest and posttest respectively) to assess patients' upper-limb speed and function. Researchers will compare scores of the box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test between the two groups at pretest and posttest to determine effects of RAS.

NCT ID: NCT04685434 Completed - Child, Only Clinical Trials

Validity and Reliability of "Shriners Hospital Upper Extremity Evaluation" in Children With Rheumatic Disease

Start date: November 4, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The most commonly used performance tests to evaluate upper extremity function in children diagnosed with rheumatic disease are the 9-hole peg test and Jebsen Taylor hand function tests. Although these tests have advantages such as being able to be applied in a short time, providing objective data, being easily applicable in the clinical environment, and being cost-effective, these tests are non-specific performance tests. Fine motor skills specific to rheumatic diseases, planned for children; There is no test battery that examines the mobility and position of each segment of the upper extremity during a function in detail. The Shriners Hospital for Children Upper Extremity Evaluation (SHUEE) is a video-based assessment approved for use in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. In addition to spontaneous functional movement, it also evaluates the dynamical position, grip, and release movements of the upper extremity segments. Approved with a total of 22 questions/tasks observed for children aged 3-18. While the evaluation takes about 15 minutes, it takes about 15-30 minutes for the participant to score after the evaluation. The test battery can be created with the materials found in the physiotherapy clinic and is therefore very practical in terms of cost. In addition, due to the video recording of the evaluation, it provides a detailed examination opportunity to the evaluator both during and after the evaluation. However, it is superior to other tests in terms of creating a patient archive due to video recording. This study aimed to introduce SHUEE to the literature as a new assessment tool to be used in pediatric rheumatic pathologies. It is planned to include 25 volunteer pediatric patients diagnosed with rheumatic diseases in the study. Intra-observer and inter-observer reliability of SHUEE in children with a rheumatic diagnosis will be evaluated. For validity, the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function test and Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire will be used.

NCT ID: NCT02725853 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Enhancing Recovery of Arm Movement in Stroke Patients

ENHANCE
Start date: June 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Many people who have had a stroke have problems recovering the use of their affected arm and these problems may persist for a long time. The investigators' research will test new ways to boost recovery by using non-painful brain stimulation together with training of arm movements using basic science principles. The training program will be done using the latest technology in rehabilitation such as virtual reality and robotics. The investigators will compare three groups of patients who have had a stroke. Each group will receive different combinations of brain stimulation and arm training. Another aspect of this proposal is that the investigators will do the same training programs in three different countries - Canada, Israel and India. In this way, the investigators will combine knowledge and skills to create training programs that can be applied anywhere in the world and that are not necessarily limited to high-income countries. Also, by combining expertise, the investigators will help to build the capacity to do research in India, a middle-income country that has great potential to contribute new knowledge to rehabilitation medicine.
