The aim of this study is to examine the effects of virtual reality glasses and distraction cards, which are cognitive behavioral techniques, on women's pain, anxiety and satisfaction levels. It is aimed to reduce your anxiety level, reduce pain level and increase feelings of satisfaction by showing you a nature video with Virtual Reality Glasses or showing distraction cards so that you can spend this process more comfortably while IUD is being applied. The following questions are expected to be answered in this research: When virtual reality glasses and distraction cards are applied during the IUD procedure; (1) Does it affect the woman's pain level? (2) Does it affect the woman's anxiety level? (3) does it have an effect on women's satisfaction? In addition, it is aimed to reveal the effectiveness of virtual reality glasses and distraction cards in the IUD application process, which is one of the modern family planning methods in midwifery applications, and to bring a non-invasive and cost-effective option into practice.
This project will investigate the efficacy of a Stimfix Trail lead anchor system (StimfixTM) in patients undergoing dorsal column stimulator trial. In dorsal column stimulator trails, two leads are placed in the epidural space and various frequencies, pulse widths, and amplitudes are run to reduce pain perception. This therapy has been in use for the last 70 years and today there are about 100,000 implants done annually for various pain indications. The process of obtaining the therapy requires a trial period of seven days with percutaneous epidural leads connected to an external pulse generator (EPG). During this trial phase there has been incidence of lead migration in about 5-10% of patients resulting in trial failure. The function of StimfixTM is to standardize the lead anchoring procedure and to reduce the incidences of lead migration during the spinal cord stimulation trial phase.
This study is designed to evaluate the effects of a pain neuroscience education program in pain perception, wellness and pain catastrophizing of youth athletes. For this, an experimental study with an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG) is designed. During 12 weeks of the 2022-2023 season, CG will receive a self-care education program, with information about health habits in the sport (rest, nutrition, body care and recovery). Meanwhile, IG will also receive a pain neuroscience education program, with information about biological, psychological and perceptual aspect of pain in the sports context. The study will be developed in the Sport High Performance Centre of Balearic Islands, from January to May. All athletes from this sports centre will be invited to participate in the study throughout an e-mail invitation from their sport regional federation. Prior to the beginning of the study, all participants will sign the inform consent. The Ethical Committee of the local university approved this study (280CER22). One week before intervention period, all athletes will be required to complete questionnaire about sociodemographic and sportive data (age, sex, and sport experience). Body mass and height will be also evaluated. Also, all the athletes will be required to complete three questionnaires about pain level, wellness and pain catastrophizing. Pain level and wellness will be evaluated prior to the start of the intervention and weekly, until finishing the intervention period. The pain catastrophizing level will be evaluated before and after the intervention period of the study. We hypothesized that those athletes who receive the pain neuroscience education program will increase wellness and decrease pain level and catastrophizing perception compared to those athletes who received a self-care educational program.
The objective of this study is to explore the perception of pain during intravitreal injection related to the distance of the entry site from the limbus.
This project a single-site 3-arm parallel group randomized clinical trial conducted at a tertiary level 1 trauma center among patients undergoing operative fixation of a lower extremity fracture.
Anxiety feeds the avoidance of dental treatments, leading to the neglect of general oral health. This avoidance is often amplified by the fear of potential pain and dissatisfaction after a dental appointment. A music listening intervention could be beneficial to reduce anxiety, pain and dissatisfaction. This intervention has the advantage to be non-invasive, cheap, and easy to implement in clinical settings. The objective of this study is to explore the effects of a personalised musical intervention on anxiety, pain and dissatisfaction associated with an autogenous gingival graft in comparison to the use of an audiobook (control). In this regard, three groups of patients will receive the gingival graft along with the personalized music intervention (n=20), an audiobook (n=20) or standard care (n=20). Participants will be distributed randomly between conditions in a single blind design (surgeons will be unaware of the condition). However, since the third standard care control group was added as of 07-01-2023, all recruited participants will be enrolled in the standard care control group (non-randomized). Self-reported measures of anxiety, pain, and dissatisfaction will be taken at different times (baseline, preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up).
We obtained the occurrence of pain sensation, pain mood, sleep, etc. during endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients through telephone follow-up, and analyzed risk factors through artificial intelligence
The objective of this study is to compare the effects of TTPB vs PIFB on postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing open cardiac surgery.
This study will be a randomized, single-blind, prospective trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial (IA) Verapamil diluted with normal saline compared to undiluted IA Nicardipine during transradial access (TRA) for percutaneous coronary angiography. Patients who are 18 years or older and undergoing non-emergent percutaneous coronary angiography via TRA will be included. Patients who are non-English speaking, pregnant, or intubated will be excluded. Patients will be randomized to one of the two following groups: 1. Group 1 will receive IA Verapamil 5 mg (2mL) diluted with 8 mL of normal saline 2. Group 2 will receive IA Nicardipine 400 mcg (undiluted, 8 mL) The investigators will document the patient's level of discomfort on the Visual Analogue Scale 30 seconds before and after administration of IA Verapamil/Nicardipine. The investigators will also document the presence of radial artery spasms.
