Filter by:This is a study of the effects of capsaicin, the ingredient that makes hot peppers hot. Capsaicin is currently used in topical ointments to provide temporary relief of minor aches and joint pain associated with arthritis, simple backache, strains, and sprains. This is a pilot research study that compares the potential of two different capsaicin creams to cause irritation or burning sensation when a small amount (about the size of a quarter) is applied to each forearm of a participant. The amount of capsaicin used in the creams is the same as those found in over-the-counter capsaicin products. The test creams are experimental.
Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Therapeutic Touch and Mother's Voice on pain and comfort levels of preterm infants during nasal CPAP application.
Outpatient hysteroscopy is an essential diagnostic procedure for abnormal uterine bleeding, such as menorrhagia or postmenopausal bleeding, to evaluate any intrauterine pathologies. It also serves as a therapeutic procedure such as removal of fibroids, polyps or intrauterine devices.However, the most common reason for procedure failure is pain. On such occasions, the procedure has to be re-arranged in the operation theatre under regional or general anesthesia. Therefore, improvement in pain management can reduce patients' health care experience, patients' anesthetic and procedural risks, decrease healthcare costs, and reduce inconvenience to patients. This randomized controlled trial aims at evaluating the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions (virtual reality and music therapy) in pain management during hysteroscopy. It can hopefully provide more clinical data to explore the role of non-pharmacological techniques in outpatient hysteroscopy pain control, hence help improve our participants' experience in outpatient hysteroscopy.
This is a three arm study, comparing the Novadress, Mepilex Ag, and Xeroform Occlusive dressings for healing, drainage, and pain management. NovaDress is constructed of pure cellulose derived from tree pulp. Mepilex Ag is a antimicrobial foam dressing that absorbs low to moderate exudate and maintains a moist wound environment. Xeroform Occlusive Dressing is a fine-mesh gauze impregnated with a petrolatum blend, 3% bismuth tribromophenate.
This project is about implementing a pain scale, the Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT), in ICU settings at King Abdullah Medical City to evaluate its impact on nurse pain assessment and management. Pain is considered as a significant problem in ICU and the literature shows that 50% of patients in ICU suffer moderate to severe pain and up to 70% of patients experience undetected pain while in ICU. The CPOT is an evidence-based intervention to assess pain among non-verbal patients in ICU settings. A stepped-Wedge Randomised trial will be used to implement the CPOT in 8 ICU in King Abduullah Medical City. Patient chart audits and a survey of ICU nurses will be conducted post implementation.
This study consisted of a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate a Multimodal Analgesia (MMA) Protocol on patients undergoing Posterior Spinal Fusion. The purpose is to describe the narcotic requirements and usage during the perioperative period of posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation surgery with the implementation of multimodal anesthesia protocol. The study will consist of two parallel arms, with Group 1 receiving our MMA protocol and Group 2 receiving a traditional opioid-based regime. The primary outcome of this study will be the reported Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain at 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. We considered that our findings could contribute to the fight against the opioid crisis proving alternatives to opioids as feasible alternatives for pain management even in significant surgery, as is posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation.
In this study, the minimum effective concentration required for supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block applied in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery is aimed. The same volume will be used in all of the block applications in the study, and the local anesthetic concentration used will be determined by increasing or decreasing according to the success of the previous block. The primary goal of the study is block success.
The cannulation of arteriovenous fistula is a painful procedure in hemodialysis patients. Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of virtual reality in reducing pain during needle-related procedures
After spinal surgery, diaphragmatic breathing exercise can be a low-cost and extremely safe intervention that can be introduced for pain management. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of diaphragmatic breathing exercise in the management of pain in the postoperative care in patients undergoing spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
The objective is to show that the use of therapeutic communication tools, in this case a comfort scale, a low cost and simple to implement method, can reduce pain and therefore the consumption of opioids in the postoperative care unit. Our hypothesis is that the use of a comfort scale will lead to significant postoperative opioid sparing, and consequently to a decrease in the opioid-related side effects The aim of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption between patients whose pain is assessed by a numerical verbal scale and those assessed with a comfort scale.
