Filter by:Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of abdominal massage on pain and distention in patients who underwent colonoscopy. Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted between October 2019 and December 2021 with the participation of 60 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital. Thirty patients performing abdominal massage after colonoscopy were included in the experimental group.
The NSS-2 BRIDGE® device (NSS stands for Neuro-Stimulation System) is a disposable device that stimulates the branches of cranial nerves and of the superficial cervical plexus innervating the ear. Because the stimulation of the nerves of the ear by the NSS-2 BRIDGE® device (NBD®) has been shown to modulate pain pathways in rodents, decrease abdominal pain in adolescents with inflammatory bile syndrome and due to the results of our preliminary pilot study, the investigators hypothesized that this technique may also be effective in reducing the requirement for postoperative opioids and provide a non-pharmacological alternative to perioperative opioid use. To establish the role that the stimulation of the nerves of the ear may have in reducing postoperative opioid requirement, the investigators are proposing to conduct a randomized, placebo controlled study in patients undergoing open abdominal or pelvic surgery requiring at least 5 days of hospitalization. Subjects who have signed an informed consent will be randomized in 2 groups (active NBD® group or inactive NBD® group). Furthermore, since preoperative and postoperative mood disorders have been shown to increase postoperative pain levels and opioid requirement by up to 50%, the investigators further hypothesize that the stimulation of the ear nerves by the NSS-2 BRIDGE® effects may be in part mediated by a reduction of the level of anxiety, depression and catastrophizing as assessed using validated questionnaires.
The main aim of this study is to determine the effects of short-term treatment with hesperidin on COVID-19 symptoms in comparison with a placebo. Treatment effects will be observed through a symptoms diary that will be completed by participants throughout the study and by taking the oral temperature daily.
The purpose of the trial is to identify the "most simple non-inferior of three different methods", placebo, laparoscopic assisted transverse abdominal plane block (L-TAP) and ultrasound guided TAP block (US-TAP), using postoperative opioid consumption as a measure of efficacy in patients undergoing elective minimally invasive colon surgery in an ERAS setting. Postoperative pain scores and length of stay (LOS) will also be measured. The simplicity of the three methods is ranked as: 1) placebo, 2) L-TAP and 3) US-TAP.
The project investigates the situation of patients with chronic pelvic and chronic belly pain before and after our group therapy.
