Filter by:The aim of this study was to determine the effect of stress ball use during labor on labor pain, anxiety and satisfaction levels in women admitted to Karabük Training and Research Hospital for delivery. H1 Using the Stress Ball in Labor reduces labor pain. H2 Using the Stress Ball in Labor Reduces Anxiety H3 Use of Stress Ball in Labor increases labor satisfaction.
The aim of the analysis is to describe the differences and similarities in obstetric pain management and pain perception intrapartum and postpartum in women with vaginal births in contrast to physician-led births and midwife-led births
University of Health Sciences, Istanbul Umraniye training and Research Hospital, Clinic of Obstetrics and gynecology, birth, maternity and Child Health Hospital, Aydın to the clinic, pregnant women, pregnant women in active labor act, and received acceptance to delivery to the fetal heart sound by existing tripped; fetal heart sounds of pregnant women, anxiety, pain and the birth in order to determine the effect of connecting the end of the level will be conducted. The study will guide midwives in reducing the anxiety or pain of pregnant women.
This study will examine the effect of the Alexander Technique on labor pain and anxiety during labor. This study is designed as a randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study consists of primiparous pregnant women who applied to Istanbul Provincial Health Directorate Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, D-Block Maternity Hospital between November 2023 and May 2024. In calculating the sample size, G*Power (3.1.9.6) program was used to calculate the sample size with an error of 0.05, effect level of 0.5, power of 95%, and the required sample size for 2 groups was calculated as 34 people for each group with a total of 68 people.
The purpose of this study is to explore the differences between the pain associated with epidural Tuohy needle insertion with prior administration of subcutaneous or intradermal lidocaine using two different pain assessment tools (numerical rate scale (NRS) and Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT)) in parturient women requesting epidural analgesia for laboring pain. Subjects will go through the following study procedures: review of medical history prior to surgery. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two study groups in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two different standard methods to administer lidocaine prior to epidural Tuohy needle insertion: intradermal or subcutaneous lidocaine administration. Prior to insertion of the Tuohy epidural needle, each patient will receive an injection of 3 mL 1% lidocaine either intradermally (Group Intradermal) or subcutaneously (Group Subcutaneous). A blinded observer (positioned in front of the patient and unable to see the procedure) will record baseline NRS scores, HR, and BP after the patient has been positioned for the epidural procedure and prior to the administration of lidocaine. During the procedure, the blinded observer will objectively record patient's vocal responses, facial expressions, bodily movements, and muscle tension (caused by pain reflex) using the CPOT and NRS scales during lidocaine administration and the first Tuohy needle insertion. After each injection, the blinded observer will record the corresponding heart rate. When the procedural anesthesiologist has exited the room, the blinded observer will then collect the patient's procedure satisfaction score from 0 (worst satisfaction) to 10 (most satisfaction) at the conclusion of the procedure. Likewise, the blinded observer will also collect the final post-procedure heart rate and blood pressure.
Having a patient with pain watch a video can be used to "direct attention to a different direction", which is a part of nursing care in pain management (İnal and Canbulat, 2015). There are studies using different non-invasive methods to reduce pain during labor (Ebrahimian and Bilandi, 2021; Kazeminia et al., 2020). However, no randomized controlled study has been found in which comedy videos were watched for labor pain management and birth satisfaction. For this reason, it is planned to investigate the effect of comedy video on pain and birth satisfaction in this study.
FAME-n aims to improve perinatal care by introducing new approaches to fetal and neonatal heart assessment. Better identification of high-risk deliveries requiring intervention will reduce perinatal asphyxia-related illness and death. Neonatal hemodynamics may be improved by early detection of instability of the heart and circulation. Innovative use of technology enables characterization of normal and abnormal cardiovascular transition in a significantly larger number of fetuses and newborn infants than what was previously possible. The methods used may have broad generalizability and applicability in perinatal, neonatal and pediatric medicine. In September 2023, the project was expanded with an obstetric arm called Epidural analgesia: Fetal Oxygenation and Maternal Oxygenation (Epi-FOMO). In Epi-FOMO, the relationship between maternal breathing and arterial blood gases during labour, and umbilical cord blood gases and neonatal outcomes (as specified in FAME-n) will be investigated.
THE EFFECT OF NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING ON LABOUR PAIN, FEAR, DURATION AND MATERNAL SATISFACTION
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of three different doses of hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine and sufentanil combined with ropivacaine in epidural labor analgesia through prospective clinical trials, so as to explore whether hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine has advantages in epidural labor analgesia, and find out the optimal dose of hydromorphone. Participants will be randomly allocated to four groups : Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4. For those in Group 1 : they will be administered with 15 ug/ml hydromorphone and 0.08% ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia, For those in Group 2 : they will be administered with17.5 ug/ml hydromorphone and 0.08% ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia, For those in Group 3 : they will be administered with 20 ug/ml hydromorphone and 0.08% ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia, For those in Group 4 : they will be administered with 0.4 ug/ml sufentanil and 0.08% ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia. The goal of this clinical trial is to provide a new treatment option for pregnant women in epidural labor analgesia, and to provide a basis for hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine in epidural labor analgesia.
Pain has been defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage". Labour pain is the pain experienced during labour and childbirth and it's characterised by nociceptive pain accompanied by sympathetic activation. Since more than fifty years, the development of hospital obstetric assistance for labour, allowed the implementation of the pain relief culture in the demanding parturients population. The ideal labour analgesic technique should provide consistent pain relief at any stage of labour, have a long duration of action, while being safe both for the mother and the foetus. It should also anticipate undesirable side effects, such as motor block. The current gold standard for obstetric analgesia is the lumbar epidural technique using the administration of local anesthetics combined with opioids. However, the best administration mode is currently under debate, the main interest being the local anesthetic sparing responsible for various maternal side effects and the quality of maternal analgesia. Despite the intense research in the field, the evaluation of the labour pain remains difficult as performed by the midwife and the anesthesiologist based on the patient's behaviour and her subjective self-assessment. The PMD100™ (Medasense Biometrics Ltd., Ramat Yishai, Israel) is a non-invasive multiparametric nociception monitoring that has proved its interest in the intraoperative evaluation of patient's physiological response to pain under general anesthesia, using the NOL index variation. Nonetheless, it has been barely investigated in patients receiving locoregional anesthesia and never in the context of obstetrical pain. The investigators support the idea that the NOL index monitoring could allow us to assess the degree of nociceptive stimulation related to obstetric labour and its variation under epidural analgesia, as well as to compare the efficacy of sensitive block using different epidural administration modes. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the NOL Index variation during labour pain management with epidural analgesia. The investigators will focus on the evaluation of analgesia in relation with the self-reported pain intensity, and secondly, the characteristics of the sensory block, the hemodynamic variables and side effects.
