Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the pain perception associated with a needle-free injection system( Comfort-In) and dental injection method in filling and pulpotomy treatments
The investigators will examine the effectiveness of non-opioid analgesia (Paracetamol versus Ibuprofen) in the early postpartum period
Pain is an under-reported but prevalent symptom in Parkinson´s Disease (PD), impacting patients' quality of life. Both pain and PD conditions cause cortical excitability reduction, but non-invasive brain stimulation is thought to be able to counteract it, resulting also effective in chronic pain conditions. The investigators in the present project aim to evaluate the efficacy of a novel brain stimulation protocol in the management of pain in PD patients during the ON state. The investigators hypothesize that active transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) over the Primary Motor Cortex (M1) can improve clinical pain and its central processing features.
Endocare® treatment is a stand-alone software medical device, which is composed of a mobile application and an accessory VR headset, intended to mitigate the pain for patients prone to endometriosis.
This study aims to investigate the effect of Traditional Turkish Military music on patients who will have Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography Procedure on vital signs, anxiety, and pain. This will be a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=36) and the control group (n=36). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group, in addition to standard care, will be listened to Traditional Turkish Military music, which consists of music selected by an expert on the type of music, by the researchers for 15 minutes before the procedure.
This study aims to investigate the effect of music listening on patients who will have Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography Procedure on vital signs, anxiety, and pain. This will be a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=35) and the control group (n=35). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group, in addition to standard care, will be listened to music by the researchers for 15 minutes before the procedure.
Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are life-saving practices in patients with respiratory failure, and aspiration of secretions is often required to maintain airway patency. Although tracheal aspiration is an unavoidable requirement to maintain airway patency, it can bring many undesirable conditions. In the presence of complications, the duration of hospital stay is also prolonged. In the literature, endotracheal aspiration is defined as a painful and uncomfortable method for patients. However, pain is an undesirable sensation that cannot be adapted. The most reliable source for pain assessment is the patient himself. However, verbal communication with patients in the ICU is quite difficult due to reasons such as the presence of endotracheal tube and tracheostomy, confusion, mechanical ventilation, and sedative drug use. Therefore, intensive care patients may not be able to express their pain verbally. In this case, patient behavior becomes important in pain assessment. Scales were developed for pain assessment of patients who could not express their pain. The "Behavioral Pain Scale" (DAS) was developed by Payen et al. For this purpose and made available to intensive care patients. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study when aspirating is required (Seeing pulmonary secretions in the endotracheal tube, tachypnea, tachycardia, hypertension, worsening of oxygen saturation and / or arterial blood gas, sawtooth pattern in the flow volume loop of the ventilator monitor and / or trachea Hearing of coarse breathing sounds, Ppeak inspiratory pressure increase in mechanical ventilator in volume-controlled mode, or tidal volume decrease in pressure-controlled mode, etc.) by a volunteer nurse, whether there is pain before, during and after aspiration, the severity and localization of the pain will be recorded by VAS and VAS. . The patient will be aspirated with the same aspiration technique in all patients by using a closed system aspiration catheter by the other volunteer nurse. Aspiration procedure will be applied to each patient according to the American association for respiratory care (AARC) aspiration guideline. The nurse evaluating the pain will record whether the patients have pain with DAS and VAS, the severity and localization of the pain
The purpose of this prospective, observational study is to assess the feasibility of patient-controlled sedation (PCS) for implantation of subcutaneous venous ports (SVP).
The investigators propose to evaluate the analgesic effect of medical hypnosis prior to the pharmacological induction of general anesthesia versus a classical pharmacological induction of anesthesia. Monitoring of the NOL index (Nociception index) as well as all the other classical parameters under general anesthesia (heart rate, blood pressure etc) will allow evaluation of the level of nociception related to oro-tracheal intubation as well as the one related to standardized electrical tetanic stimulation during general anesthesia and before surgical incision, between the two groups. The investigators know from the literature that the use of medical hypnosis in combination with anesthetic drugs allows for a significant reduction of hypnotic and opioid drugs. The investigators aim here at evaluating the real and objective impact of pre-anesthesia hypnosis on intraoperative nociception by using the NOL index which has been developed and used recently to better detect nociceptive stimuli under anesthesia. This clinical trial will provide an objective answer on the analgesic properties of intraoperative hypnosis. If this is confirmed, hypnosis could find its place in the management of perioperative nociception around general anesthesia.
This study will compare the VerTouch device to palpation and ultrasound (US) techniques used to identifying the anatomic landmarks and optimal location for neuraxial access. This trial of the VerTouch device will be compared to the gold standard of palpatoin and the commonly cited US techniques.
