The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of auricular acupressure on improvement of constipation and heart rate variability among residents with schizophrenia in community rehabilitation Center.The hypothesis of this study is that residents with schizophrenia in Community Rehabilitation Center receiving auricular acupressure can improve the symptoms of constipation and heart rate variability.By identifying the effectiveness of auricular acupressure can reduce the occurrence of constipation; suitable care can be suggested to improve gastrointestinal health in residents of Schizophrenia in community rehabilitation center.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of breathing exercise applied before the enema procedure, which causes fear, pain and anxiety in children aged 6-12 years who applied to the pediatric emergency service, on fear, pain and anxiety in children. This research is in pretest-posttest, parallel group, randomized controlled experimental design. The universe of the research consists of children aged 6-12 years who applied to the pediatric emergency department of Iğdır State Hospital (Turkey) between May 2022 and June 2022.
This study was carried out to determine the effect of acupressure applied to LI4, CV12, ST25 and ST36 acupuncture points for a total of 21 minutes, three to each point, on the symptoms of constipation and quality of life of elderly individuals.
Through a scientific and standardized randomized controlled study, we observe the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of functional constipation in the elderly through the method of "nourishing kidney and dredging Fu organs".
Background and study aims: Constipation, which is difficulty going to the toilet to do a 'poo' is common in adults with learning disabilities (LD), but there is not a lot of knowledge (information) about the best way to help treat constipation experienced by adults with learning disabilities. Adults with learning disabilities who have constipation should be assessed and treated. There is knowledge to suggest that abdominal massage may help some people with constipation so that people with constipation can go to the toilet more easily. There is also knowledge to suggest that the use of a device to do the massage may be as beneficial as getting a carer to do it for the participant. This research wants to invite 40 adults with learning disabilities with constipation to take part. 30 will be offered the abdominal massage, either by a carer or the device, and 10 will not be offered the massage. However, the participants will be shown how to do it at the end of the study. This research wants to find out if people with LD are willing to take part in such a study and if the participants are more willing to let a carer do the massage, or would rather use the device. It is also important that the investigators know if the participants who are in the group not getting the massage are willing to continue in the research. Taking part for 6 weeks will provide the investigators with this important information before the investigators undertake a much larger study which the investigators need to do to find out if it helps with constipation.
This study prospectively observed the complications intended as diarrhea or sti-sis that critically ill patients developed within 7 days after ICU admission. In addition, secondary aims investigated through bioimpedenziometry the loss of lean body mass and changes in phase angle during the same period of ICU stay.
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is characterized by the absence of ganglion cells (aganglionosis) in the distal bowel extending proximally for varying distances that results in persistent spasm in the affected bowel and functional intestinal obstruction. Patients can be classified as rectosigmoid HSCR when aganglionosis confined to the rectosigmoid and long-segment or total colonic HSCR when aganglionosis extends beyond the upper sigmoid. Aganglionosis of long-segment HSCR can extend to the descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon, but not to the terminal ileum. To date, there is insufficient evidence to recommend a preferred or superior method for the surgical repair for long-segment HSCR. In general, a pull-through with standard of care for the intestine and mesentery, which avoids excessive resection of the colon and coloanal reconstruction, is performed for long-segment HSCR.There are reports that a significant percentage of long-segment HSCR patients continue to have difficulty with soiling and incontinence,however there were also reports long-segment HSCR patients have the same continece as rectosigmoid HSCR.The outcome of long-segment HSCR should be thoroughly evaluated. The present study was designed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of long-segment HSCR.
This study will be conduct to determine the effect of bilateral transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation on treating postpartum constipation
This study aim to compare the efficacy of nitazoxanide in 2-week course of treatment with rifaximin in treating diarrhea associated with IBS. We also aim to study its effect over 10 weeks after treatment to evaluate its efficacy in eradicating symptoms of IBS in the long run.
