Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of pain training applied with conventional physiotherapy on pain, range of motion, disability, kinesiophobia and quality of life in patients with neck pain. Methods: The research is planned to be completed within 18 months at Istanbul Hospital. It is planned to include 40 individualsbetween the ages of 18-65 with neck pain persisting for 3 months or more.Individuals will be randomly divided into 2 groups. Conventional physiotherapy program will be applied to the first group. Conventional physiotherapy will be applied to the second group and neuroscience education will be given.Pain intensity will evaluate before and after exercise with 'Visual Analog Scale' (VAS), and algometer,range of motion will evaluate with C-ROM, kinesiofobia will questioned with Tampa Kinesiofobia Score, Quality of life will evaluate with Nottingham Health Profile, whereas the level of neck disability will evaluate before and after exercise with 'Neck Pain and Disability Score' (NPDS). The obtained results will analyze using appropriate statistical methods.
We aim to study if there are differences in outcomes between different age groups for persons with knee or hip osteoarthritis during treatment in digitally delivered exercise and education treatment.
The purpose of this project is to compare a newly developed automatic reversing dynamic air mattress, with a regular care mattress, which is in daily use at the hospital. Focus will be on pressure relief in relation to occurrence of pressure injury, user satisfaction, and the mattresses impact on sleep and pain. The participants will be randomized to start with the intervention mattress or the control mattress. Outcomes will be measured via validated forms regarding pressure related injuries, quality of life, pain, and mattress comfort. Custom made forms will be used regarding resource use and comfort in the nursing service, especially in relation to position changes in the participants .
Although multiple clinical trials have been reported studying the effects of turmeric and turmeric-derived curcuminoid containing extract on pain by various study designs (including both acute and chronic pain), with the most consistent positive pain reduction benefits at turmeric or curcuminoid levels above normal dietary intake estimates, studies assessing the combination of black pepper and turmeric at culinary relevant levels for pain remediation benefits are needed. As black pepper is reported to 'enhance' the effects of co-consumed compounds, we are testing whether consumption of black pepper alters the pain alleviating effects of turmeric when consumed at levels representative of potential dietary intakes.
Purpose: It was planned as a randomized controlled experiment in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the ocean sound on pain, comfort and physiological parameters in the NICU, Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) examination. Design: This is single-center. randomized controlled trial, double blind, parallel. Hypotheses: H0a: There is no difference between the pain levels (scale score) of premature babies in the control group and the ocean sound group. H0b: There is no difference between the comfort levels (scale score) of premature babies in the control group and the ocean sound group. H0c: There is no difference between the physiological parameters of the premature babies in the control group and the ocean sound group. H1a: There is a difference between the pain levels (scale score) of premature babies in the control group and the ocean sound group. H1b: There is a difference between the comfort levels (scale score) of premature babies in the control group and the ocean sound group. H1c: There is a difference between the physiological parameters of the premature babies in the control group and the ocean sound group. Method: The population of the research will be preterm babies who are treated at Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty NICU and will have their first ROP examination. Premature babies to be included in the study will be assigned to two study groups using the quadruple balanced block randomization method created in the computer environment according to their gestational age. In the study, the baby information form, Premature Baby Pain Profile Scale-Revised Form (PIPP-R), and Premature Baby Comfort Scale (PBIC) created by the researcher by scanning the literature will be used. Data will be collected by researcher GA. Infants who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study will be selected from the infants who are planned to undergo an ROP examination, and written and verbal consent will be obtained from the families by explaining the purpose of the study before the application. The information contained in the "Baby Information Form" will be obtained from the nurse observation form and patient files. On the day of the ROP examination, babies who meet the inclusion criteria before the procedure will be recorded outside the incubator with a video recorder in the room where the ROP examination will be performed (a room with 45-50 dB sound). Two minutes before the ROP, the baby will be monitored and physiological parameters will be recorded, and one minute before the ROP, the experimental group will start to listen to the ocean sound (Video recordings will be evaluated by two experts, PIPP-R and PBIC). After the necessary disinfection process is done, the voice recorder will be placed in the incubator at a distance of 20 cm from the baby's head and the sound level will be adjusted to an average of 55 decibels. The examination will begin with the placement of the speculum in the eye. The duration of the examination varies according to the visibility of the retinal vascularity, and the examination will end with the removal of the speculum from the eye. Ocean Sound Group; The ocean sound recording will continue to be played during the ROP examination. Control Group; No sound will be played before, during and after the ROP examination. Physiological parameters will be recorded at the 1st and 5th minutes after the procedure. (Video recordings will be evaluated by two experts for PIPP-R and PBIC). Video recording will be stopped.Ocean Sound Group;The ocean sound recording will be played at the 5th minute after the ROP inspection. Control Group; No sound will be played before, during and after the ROP examination.
Episiotomy is one of the common surgical operations that can cause anxiety in women and have side effects such as pain. Nerve blockades with analgesic effects such as lidocaine used during episiotomy repair or the use of tranquilizers and sleep-inducing drugs used to reduce anxiety during this procedure may have side effects. Nowadays, the trends towards non-medical methods (virtual reality glasses, praying, distraction, music therapy) in addition to medical methods during episiotomy repair are increasing due to the inevitable nature of these methods and the absence of side effects. In the study, it is stated that women will prefer non-medical methods (such as distraction or prayer) to alleviate pain or anxiety. It is important for midwives to have knowledge about these alternative methods (music therapy, virtual reality glasses, distraction, massage, acupressure, praying) to reduce the pain and anxiety that occurs during episiotomy repair. A new technology, virtual reality (VR), helps users connect to an environment that simulates reality, reducing pain by distracting them from the real world through computers or other devices. Although initially considered a technology only for the entertainment industry, its field of application has grown over the past decade to include various clinical areas such as pain management, physical rehabilitation, and psychiatric disorders. VR is suitable for clinical use and is a non-invasive and drug-free analgesic method. Its use in obstetrics is very new. Virtual reality glasses are recognized as a safe, inexpensive and effective non-pharmacological anxiolytic agent that allows for the reduction of regular pharmacological sedative doses due to their effect on anxiety and pain perception. Skin-to-skin contact is defined by the World Health Organization as the basic component of postnatal care. Skin-to-skin contact helps to reduce the pain felt during episiotomy repair in the mother and in the postpartum period. This research was planned to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses on pain and anxiety during episiotomy repair.
This project aims to evaluate whether electrical stimulation can modulate the cold detection threshold and the cold pain threshold. The hypothesis is that different electrical stimulation will either decrease or increase the cold threshold depending on the shape of the electrical stimulus. If a combination of electrical stimuli and cold stimuli could be used, this could lead to a novel method for estimating the excitability properties of cold-sensing fibers. The sub-project takes place in 1 session (1.5 hours).
This is a prospective, and controlled trial. 60 participants with myofascial trigger points and disc displacement with reduction and 60 participants with disc displacement with reduction will be included in the study. These two groups will be compared for clinical findings, pain severity and limitation of the temporomadibular function.
