Filter by:The study will investigate possible effects of music therapy as an adjunct in an invasive cardiac procedure where infected or broken pacemaker leads, or leads from implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are removed from inside the heart through the vein. The procedure is performed in local anaesthesia with the patient awake. Analgesic and anxiolytic drugs are given at the start of the procedure, and repeated if needed. In spite of the drugs, most patients will experience som degree of pain and/or anxiety and increased stress during the procedure. The music therapy intervention contains individually facilitated music listening and coping techniques, aiming to regulate stress responses. The music listening and guidance is provided by a certified music therapist before, during and after the invasive procedure.
Procedural pain in resuscitation is common in the conscious patient. However, analgesia and sedation may be impossible because of the acute pathology leading to resuscitation, comorbidities or the urgency of the invasive procedure. In addition, the use of analgesics and sedatives is responsible for adverse effects. In this context, hypnosis appears to be an additional analgesic tool that would reduce the consumption of analgesics and sedatives and thus reduce their side effects.
Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures. The management of postoperative pain and agitation after AT is still a controversial issue. Safety considerations limit the use of opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, leading to inadequate control of the high levels of postoperative pain experienced by AT patients. Along with pain killers, non-pharmacological strategies have remarkable impact on pain management in children. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in The Lancet in 2015 on adult patients suggest that auditory stimulation with music in the perioperative setting, and even when patients are under general anaesthesia, can reduce postoperative pain, anxiety, and analgesia needs. The authors concluded that there is sufficient evidence to implement auditory stimulation in the treatment of all adult surgical patients, regardless of the mode of administration. Up to now, no research has investigated the effects of intraoperative auditory stimulation on pain and agitation upon awakening after AT in the pediatric population. Objective of this study is to determine the effects of intraoperative auditory stimulation on pain and agitation upon awakening after pediatric AT.
This is a qualitative study, using Grounded Theory. The aim is to deepen our knowledge about how children perceive pain in conjunction with dental treatment; tooth extractions in particular. What increases, and what decreases, the risk of children experiencing pain; and how do they perceive dental treatments where pain might occur, either as procedural pain, or postoperatively?
The aim of the study is: To evaluate the efficacy of the reduction of visual and auditory stimuli on pain during venipuncture in premature newborns of 32-36 weeks of gestation.
This study explored the feasibility, acceptability and perceived the effectiveness of an Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) 'game' in the rehabilitation of children with upper limb injuries. The objectives of the clinical trial were: - To qualitatively assess the perceptions of child and parent regarding the acceptability of the game and equipment, and their perceptions of its effectiveness in reducing pain and discomfort and facilitating movement, compared to usual physical therapy experiences. - To qualitatively assess physical therapy practitioners' perceptions of the effectiveness, usability, feasibility, and acceptability of VR in their clinical setting with this client group. Hypothesis: 1. IVR rehabilitation game as an intervention will be acceptable to child patients and their parents. 2. IVR rehabilitation game experience will show less procedural pain, discomfort, and difficulties to movement, compared to usual physical therapy experiences. 3. IVR rehabilitation game will demonstrate any perceived disadvantages as a therapeutic intervention, compared with usual rehabilitation care. 4. IVR rehabilitation game will demonstrate usability in the clinical setting during the rehabilitation of a small sample of children with varying ULIs.
This is a multicenter, randomized, clinical trial comparing treatment as usual to distraction with video projection or virtual reality in the management of pediatric (3-6 years) pain associated with venipuncture, intramuscular injection, and vaccination.
The overall aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, preliminary effectiveness and sustainability of parent-targeted interventions for pain management during vaccination of infants. To achieve the goal, a two-phase pilot randomized control trial is planned. Study one, currently in the data collection phase, aims i) to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of data collection tools, participants' recruitment procedures and implementation process of parent-targeted interventions prior to infant vaccination at two, four, or six months. ii) to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of parent-targeted interventions prior to infant vaccination in promoting the use of pain management strategies during vaccinations of infants at two, four, or six months. iii) to identify the parent's knowledge, use, intention and recommendation to use the recommended pain management strategies, and facilitators and barriers influencing the implementation of the parent-targeted interventions during vaccinations of infants at two, four, or six months. Methods. This study is a prospective multi-faceted two-armed pilot randomized control trial (RCT). a pilot randomized control trial. The participants are parents of infants, recruited before the infants receive their 2, 4, or 6- month vaccinations, who responded to the online invitation and consent to participate in this study. Parents living in Canada and prior to the infant receiving one of the three vaccinations were invited to participate through an online recruitment process. A sample of 50 parent/infant dyads in each group of control and intervention is estimated to be sufficient to achieve the study's goals. The outcome measurements are being done by five brief study questionnaires; Brief information of the study goals and the researchers' affiliation followed by a hyperlink to the survey were posted on different online platforms. Eligible parents of infants who respond to the study invitation are being randomly allocated to 1 of 2 groups (Intervention and control). There are two interventions in the study one being compared: 1) Be Sweet to Babies Videos and Pamphlet; and 2) Be Sweet to Babies Videos, pamphlet, and MIAS&Q. After the intervention, the impact of the vaccination pain management video and brochure followed by MIAS&Q questions are being evaluated by a brief online survey exploring the use of pain management (breastfeeding or sucrose and upright secure holding) during infants' vaccination in both groups. Following that, the opinion of parents about the understandability, applicability, feasibility, and acceptability of this study are evaluated. All data are being collected electronically using REDCap survey tool. SPSS version 23.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Illinois) will be used to perform all descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. NVivo version 11.0 (Qualitative data analysis Software; QSR International Pty Ltd) will be used for content analysis and descriptive statistical analysis and thematic analysis will be used for the analysis of the qualitative data.
- Demonstrate the effectiveness of the Virtual Reality (VR) distraction on pain reduction in children and adolescents in onco-hematology unit compared to standard practice. - Evaluate the impact of VR on the level of anxiety induced by invasive procedures - Report traceability of assessment of pain and anxiety scores, and reproducibility of procedural analgesia techniques. - Evaluate the impact of VR on the short-term consequences of procedural pain, especially in terms of phobia of care.
This is a prospective study to assess the utility of Lidocaine Hydrochloride 2% gel enema (Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co., Inc.) in reducing post-procedural pain after endoscopic band ligation of internal hemorrhoids. Briefly, patients will be consented prior to entry into the study. During the endoscopic band ligation procedure, patients will be blindly placed into the treatment arm or control arm. The treatment arm will receive 15 ml enema of lidocaine gel immediately upon cessation of the procedure. In the placebo arm, oral pain medications will be provided. Researchers will assess pain following the procedure at 1 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours via telephone call. Another telephone call will be performed at 72 to 96 hours to assess any side effects of the medication.
