Filter by:According to the definition of the International Association for the Study of Pain, pain; It is an unpleasant sensory and emotional sensation and behavior related to the individual's past experiences, caused by real or potential tissue damage originating from any part of the body. Birth pain is the most severe pain experience known and defined, with physiological as well as psychological and sociocultural components that may vary among individuals.Pharmacological and non-pharmacological applications are used to relieve birth pain. While pharmacological methods reduce pain, they distract women from the physiological reality of birth and prevent women from accepting pain as a natural part of birth. Non-pharmacological methods are alternative options that will help women manage pain during birth by ensuring that women experience pain. Showering (hydrotherapy), one of the non-pharmacological methods used to reduce pain in labor, is used to increase relaxation and reduce birth pain. In a study conducted domestically, it was stated that the use of hydrotherapy during labor pain helped the woman relax, reduced the pain felt, lowered blood pressure and increased diuresis. Fatigue, in addition to being a universal symptom associated with diseases, is also a common complaint among healthy individuals. In line with the literature information, this study aims to examine the effect of shower applied during birth on postpartum fatigue and postpartum comfort.
Pregnancy and the moment of birth are important processes that women will remember throughout their lives and will always leave a mark on their lives. Birth pain is expressed as the most severe pain that women experience throughout their lives (although there is no standard measure due to the combination of different factors). Labor pain; It differs from other types of pain in that it is part of the natural process, occurs within a limited period of time, and the mother willingly endures this pain due to factors such as reuniting with her baby at the end of the process. Due to the possible negative effects of labor pain on maternal and fetal health, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) accept labor pain as an indication that should be treated. recommends that this pain be taken under control. Nowadays, non-pharmacological methods such as "massage, pilates ball, music therapy, acupuncture, aromatherapy" are widely used to manage pain during birth. Massage, which is among the non-pharmacological methods, is the oldest treatment and sensual stimulation method in the world. Massage is generally the first choice method because it has no side effects and is easy to apply. Studies have shown that massage applied during birth provides physical and psychological relief, reduces pain, anxiety, agitation and depressive mood, and increases maternal satisfaction. Determining birth satisfaction is important as it is an indicator of the health status of the mother and newborn as well as the quality of intrapartum care.Birth dance is a combination of music therapy and freedom of movement methods, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods. Birth dance begins in the active phase of the first stage of labor in order to reduce the pain perceived by the woman and to provide emotional support, and continues until the end of the first stage. The woman is given the opportunity to move rhythmically with someone she prefers (spouse/partner, mother, midwife, etc.), accompanied by relaxing light music. In addition to the music and body movements included in the dance, it is aimed to increase the effectiveness of the applied method by adding spouse/partner support and upright positions and at the same time to provide emotional support to the woman.
Interappointment pain is a universal concern for clinician and patients alike which remain a significant challenge for dentalprofessional.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of calcium hydroxide, and triple antibiotic paste as intra-canal medicaments in emergency pain reduction in patients undergoing endodontic treatment .
Study the effects of 60dB and 80dB white noise, 50-70dB and 70-90dB non harmonic tones on the basic pain threshold of subjects, including the threshold and tolerance of electrical stimulation pain,the threshold and tolerance of cold pain stimulation, and the threshold and tolerance of tenderness stimulation.
The goal of this interventional study is to assess the effectiveness of pre-injection use of topical ice application in decreasing pain perception when administering greater palatine nerve block injections as compared to that of topical 20 % benzocaine anesthetic gel using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for subjective pain assessment and Sound, Eye, Motor (SEM) scale for objective pain assessment in adult patients. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Does topical cooling reduce pain as effectively as topical benzocaine during greater palatine nerve block injections? 2. Is there any adverse reactions during and after application of topical ice and 20 % benzocaine gel? 3. Is there any difference in patient acceptability to the use of either methods during the administration of greater palatine nerve block. A split mouth design was used where an anesthetic injection was administered in the left and right posterior palatal area. The same operator administered the injections so as to standardize the flow rate and delivery style. The method of intervention i.e topical ice or topical 20% benzocaine anesthetic gel was randomly allocated to the patient by lottery method. The participants received two palatal injections with an interval of two weeks between the appointments. The subjective pain response of the patients during greater palatine nerve block injection with pre-injection use of topical ice and topical anesthetic gel (20% benzocaine) was recorded using VAS scale. The objective pain response of the patients were recorded by a blinded single observer using SEM scale on the same day of the appointment. Technique of application of topical ice: A new pack of sterile cotton swabstick that was injected with 0.5ml commercially available bottled water and then freezed the day before the appointment. At the time of intervention the injection site was dried with gauge piece and the frozen cotton swab stick was held by its wooden part and the frozen cotton end was placed on the proposed anesthetic site (palatal mucosa just anterior to the greater palatine foramen) for 1 minute. With the frozen cotton swabstick in place, an injection of 0.5 mL of 2 percent Lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine was administered into the injection site via a 27-gauge short needle. Technique of application of topical anesthetic gel: After the oral mucosa was dried with a gauze piece, application of 0.2 mL Benzocaine 20% gel was done with a sterile swab stick on the proposed anesthetic site (palatal mucosa just anterior to the greater palatine foramen) for a period of two minutes as shown in figure. With the cotton swabstick in place an injection of 0.5 mL of 2 percent Lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine was administered into the injection site via a 27-gauge short needle.
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of acupressure on reducing the pain of blood collection in children with Thalassemia. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure application reduces acute pain.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in the effects of pain pressure threshold (PPT) looking out to 30 minutes in the lumbar spine. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Is there a difference between PPT from baseline, immediately after, or 30 minutes after compared to sham ultrasound control group? Participants will be exposed to sham ultrasound or sidelying lumbar manipulation with between groups and within group comparisons of PPT at the posterior superior iliac spine up to 30 minutes following the intervention.
This study explores the use of virtual reality (VR) to reduce pain and anxiety during thyroid biopsies and PICC line insertions under local anesthesia. One group experienced the procedure with VR, while the other group did not. Participants completed questionnaires before and after the surgery to measure pain and anxiety levels. The main goal is to observe if VR can significantly decrease pain and anxiety during these procedures.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of the CoolSense method on arteriovenous fistula cannulation pain and the comfort levels of hemodialysis patients.
Hypothesis: Intranasal administration of ketamine would reduce the intramuscular pain of ketamine injection in children who undergo procedural sedation and analgesia in the emergency department.
