Filter by:in this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of the modular carrying system on the outcomes of care in the mobilization of patients with a chest tube. The population of the study consisted of patients followed in Yedikule Chest Diseases, and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital between October 2019 and January 2021, and the sample consisted of 83 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The study was performed with the intervention group (n=37) mobilized with the Modular medical equipment carrying vehicle and the control group (n=46) mobilized with the routine application.
This study aimed to determine the effect of Mother-Scented Simulated Hand (MSSH) on promoting comfort among mechanically ventilated preterm neonates during invasive procedures. Research Hypotheses - Preterm neonates who receive MSSHH exhibit higher levels of comfort during invasive procedures than those who receive standard care. - Preterm neonates who receive MSSHH exhibit lower levels of pain and stress during invasive procedures than those who receive standard care
Accurate assessment of pain in neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is vital because of the high prevalence of painful experiences, including both daily procedural pain and postoperative pain, in this population. It has been reported that newborns born between the gestational ages (GY) 25-42 and hospitalized in the NICU undergo an average of 14 painful procedures per day in the first 2 weeks of life. The aim of this study is determinin the effect of different procedures on the pain levels of newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
The study will be conducted with the randomized controlled experimental method. The children who attended the pediatric emergency department will divide into two groups via randomization in the computer environment. After the randomization, children in the experimental group will play with finger puppets under the direction of the researcher during venipuncture. On the other hand, no application will perform on the children in the control group during the venipuncture. The parents will also be found next to their children in both groups during the procedure.
In the literature there is still debate about the concept of central sensitization, as a pain mechanism that can support a neuromusculoskeletal pathology and which for Woolf corresponds to an amplification of neural signaling within the Central Nervous System causing hypersensitivity to pain. This mechanism is often confused with the concept of chronic pain, as in many conditions such as fibromyalgia, traumatic neck pain, low back pain or osteoarthritis, central sensitization supports its maintenance beyond 6 months. We believe it is important to investigate among Italian physiotherapists the management of the patient in which the presence of a central pain sensitization phenomenon is suspected, in order to provide consistent data to direct the education of health professionals towards more effective management of this problem. To achieve this goal we aim to: - Conduct a Delphi study in order to reach consensus, into a panel of experts, on the methods useful for the management, in each phase of the physiotherapy process, of the patient with neuromusculoskeletal problems with pain underlying central sensitization mechanism - Investigate, through a survey among Italian physiotherapists, their clinical approach to the patient in question - Develop a free online course available to clinical professionals and/or students who wish to deepen this issue.
The purpose of the current pilot study is to examine a feasibility and the preliminary efficacy of Empowered Relief (ER) class when it is delivered 'virtually' to patients with chronic pain who take methadone or buprenorphine. The ER class is a single-session pain management class, which has demonstrated to be effective in improving pain and pain-related distress in patients with chronic low back pain, but its efficacy has not been examined in patients with chronic pain who take methadone or buprenorphine. Class participants will learn self-regulatory skills and develop a personalized plan to use the skills every day. The current study will examine a feasibility and participant's perception and satisfaction of this class at post-class. The study will also follow participants 3 months by administering 5 surveys (baseline, 2 weeks and 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months post-treatment) to determine whether the class confers the short-term and medium-term benefits across various aspects of health.
In this study, the effects of bed exercises on pain, anxiety, early ambulation and mobilization in major surgery patients were aimed. The research was experimental and a total of 120 patients participated. Data were collected using an information form, anxiety scale, and pain scale. Exercise was applied to the patients in the experimental group (15 minutes) and no intervention was applied to the control group. Descriptive statistics, correlation tests and t-test were used. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were checked for the scales.
There is a complex innervation of the testis and spermatic canal, and many different regional analgesia methods can be used for pain occurring during and after undescended testicular surgery. Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) can be count as the one of the primary method to manage the pain. In this study, our primary aim will be to compare the effects of lateral and posterior QLB application on perioperative and postoperative pain and analgesic use in pediatric patients who will undergo unilateral elective undescended testicular surgery. Our secondary aim will be to compare patient and family satisfaction and complications.
Formal caregiving of elderly dependent people is a both physically and psychologically demanding job, and both musculoskeletal and mental disorders with a negative impact in general health and quality of life are habitual among eldercare workers. Previous research has shown that physical exercise programs can reduce and/or prevent those disorders, consequently improving well-being at work. Online exercise interventions might be a cost-effective tool, as they can reach a large number of people at a relatively low cost. Moreover, they are compatible with situations in which interpersonal physical distancing is required, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, real-time videoconference-based exercise interventions have not yet been studied in working populations. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of a real-time videoconference-based exercise intervention in eldercare workers. The primary outcome will be low back pain. Pain in neck, shoulders and wrists/hands will also be recorded, as well as additional measures of physical fitness, psychoaffective state, health and work-related variables. All outcomes will be measured at baseline and at 12-week and 48-week follow-ups.
This is a double-blind randomised controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of orally-dosed Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) compared to placebo for reducing pain severity and duration of migraines in otherwise healthy participants aged 18 years and older.
