Filter by:The aim of this double-blind randomized study will be to evaluate the effect an intravenous infusion of magnesium has on recovery outcomes after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy
The aim of this double blind randomized study will be to investigate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia regimen with a mixture of dexmedetomidine-lidocaine-ketamine in the same syringe versus remifentanil analgesia in lumbar spine surgery
This is an exploratory study investigating the use of virtual reality-based guided mindfulness meditation in improving pain, stress, and mood within various clinical populations. The feasibility of utilizing VR applications within the populations of patients with various specific disease types and clinical settings is a burgeoning area of research. The goal is to establish an association between the use of VR-based mindfulness meditation, and pain, stress, and mood scores.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in different injection techniques. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a difference between the pain levels due to needle insertion in the injection made with the HST Technique, the ShotBlocker technique and the standard technique? - Is there a difference between the hematoma levels of the injection made with the HST Technique, the ShotBlocker technique and the standard technique? - Is there a difference between the comfort levels of the injection made with the HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique? - Is there a difference between the satisfaction levels of the patients with the injection made with the HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique? - Is there a difference between the injection fear levels of patients with HST Technique, ShotBlocker technique and standard technique?
Safety of an eight-day treatment with ibuprofen after primary hip and knee arthroplasties.
The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of a continuous infusion of low dose esmolol on intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption, as well as on postoperative recovery and chronic pain
Preoperative anxiety and acute post-operative pain are common and have been associated with the development of chronic post-surgical pain and longer hospitalisation. Pharmacological interventions to combat anxiety and pain come with their attendant adverse effects. Therefore, non-pharmacological strategies- Virtual Reality (VR) has gained popularity to improve overall the perioperative experience for patients. Our overall aim is to develop and evaluate the use of a VR-based prototype to reduce pre-operative anxiety and post-operative acute pain intensity in our local patient population. Our primary aim is to reduce preoperative anxiety as measured by a reduction in Visual Analogue Score-Anxiety (VAS-A) by a mean of 2.5 points pre-post VR intervention. Our secondary aims are to reduce post-operative acute pain and to achieve more than 50% good to excellent self-reported satisfaction on our VR prototype.
To examine the effect of the Helfer skin tap technique and ShotBloker application on pain and fear experienced during intramuscular injection in children aged 6-12 in the pediatric emergency unit. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine its effect on fear. The population of the study will be children aged 6-12 years who applied to the Tarsus State Hospital, and Pediatric Emergency Clinic and the sample will be 177 children who will undergo intramuscular intervention and meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. In data collection; Data collection form, Wong-Baker Scale, and Child fear scale will be used. In order to examine the mean scores of pain and fear according to intramuscular administration techniques in children, appropriate tests will be used by making an analysis of conformity to normal distribution.
The role of a single dose of intraoperative clonidine on postoperative opioid requirements, pain intensity and opioid-related side effects in patients undergoing surgical treatment for endometriosis remains scarcely explored. A prospective double-blind, randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of a single-dose of intraoperative clonidine in patients undergoing surgical treatment for endometriosis is therefore conducted.
Recent evidence has shown that vitamin C has some analgesic properties and can therefore reduce opioids used during healing. Vitamin C analgesic effect has been explored mostly during the short-term postoperative context or in disease specific chronic pain prevention but not after acute musculoskeletal injuries, which are often seen in the emergency department (ED). The study's primary aim is to compare the total morphine 5 mg equivalent pills consumed during a two-week follow-up between patients receiving vitamin C or a placebo after ED discharge for an acute musculoskeletal pain complaint. The investigators will conduct a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial with 464 participants distributed in two arms, one group receiving 1 000 mg of vitamin C twice a day for 14 days and another one receiving a placebo. Participants will be ≥18 years of age, treated in ED for acute musculoskeletal pain present for less than 2 weeks, and discharged with an opioid prescription for home pain management. Total morphine 5 mg equivalent pills consumed during the two-week follow-up will be assessed via an electronic (or paper) diary. In addition, patients will report their daily pain intensity, pain relief, side effects, and other types of pain medication or other non-pharmacological approach (ice, heat, immobilization, etc.) used. Three months after the injury, participants will also be contacted to evaluate chronic pain development. The investigators hypothesized that vitamin C, compared to a placebo, will reduce opioid consumption during a 14-day follow-up for ED discharged patients treated for acute pain.
