Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test if a mindfulness-enhanced positive affect induction (MPAI) works well to reduce pain intensity and pain unpleasantness from a cold water pain test in undergraduate college students who do not endorse ongoing medical or mental health diagnoses. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the MPAI a feasible and acceptable psychological technique for managing brief pain? - Does the MPAI work well to reduce pain intensity and unpleasantness from experimentally induced brief pain, compared to those using a breathing meditation or those instructed to respond naturally. - Does using the MPAI work well to improve confidence in self-managing brief pain? Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about their sleep, pain beliefs, and emotions after consenting to participate and at the end of the study session. They will then be randomized to either: - Use the MPAI for managing pain induced by a cold water test (placing their hand in a container of cold water kept at approximately 5 degrees Celsius). - Use a breathing meditation for managing pain induced by a cold water test (placing their hand in a container of cold water kept at approximately 5 degrees Celsius). - Respond naturally to pain induced by a cold water test (placing their hand in a container of cold water kept at approximately 5 degrees Celsius). Researchers will compare the MPAI group to the breathing meditation and natural response groups to see if the MPAI group reports less pain from the cold water test and
The study will determinate the influence of four selected physiotherapeutic procedures on the pain intensity, the bioelectrical activity of the masseter muscle, and the range of mandibular mobility in patients with TMDs (temporomandibular joint dysfunction).
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of multiple doses and multiple administrations of LEVI-04 for the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee.
Randomized clinical trial to analyze the perceived impact of the virtual reality intervention on the experience of pain and well-being, and the influence on vital signs and the relationship with the length of stay in the intensive care unit.
The purpose of this study is to introduce aromatherapy with current pain medication protocols to see if it improves patient satisfaction and reduces pain in hospice care patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) distraction in patients undergoing interventional pain procedures in the prone position. VR has been shown to improve patient experience during interventional pain procedures, however, many of these procedures are done in the prone position making VR a challenge. This study will evaluate the effect of a VR headset and support in patients undergoing prone interventional pain procedures compared to control.
Alveolar osteitis, commonly referred to as dry socket, is a common painful postoperative complication following tooth extraction. It is defined as pain in and around an extraction socket which increases at any time between one and three days following extraction, accompanied by partial or total loss of the blood clot from the socket, with or without halitosis (Blum, 2002). The incidence of the complication varies from 1-5% for routine extractions up to approximately 30% for third molar extractions. There are a variety of factors that contribute to the incidence of dry socket including tissue trauma, smoking in the early postoperative period and the oral contraceptive pill. Although it is a self- limiting condition, symptoms can be very debilitating for patients and therefore following diagnosis, immediate treatment should be provided to expedite resolution and to their improve quality of life during the healing period. Treatment options for dry socket vary from rinsing of the socket, regular analgesia and sometimes placement of an obtundent, sedative dressing such as Alveogyl or a zinc oxide eugenol alternative. This study will aim to compare two treatments for patients who present with alveolar osteitis (dry socket) to Dublin Dental University Hospital after tooth extraction. Following randomisation, one of two treatment modalities will be used, either a experimental treatment (Bio-PRF) or a positive control (Alveogyl). The results of this study will enable us to learn more about the efficacy of these treatment options for dry socket and how they affect patients.
Newborn screening programs are preventive health services that have a significant place in public health programs in developed and developing countries worldwide. For these scans, heel blood is taken from the newborn, and the heel blood collection procedure applied for diagnostic purposes is one of the most common painful procedures applied to the newborn. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management may be necessary to reduce and minimize pain during painful procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit. One of the non-pharmacological applications applied during acute procedural pain in the newborn is sensorial saturation, which consists of multisensory stimulation (sensitive touch, massage, auditory, visual, sense of taste, and smell). This study aimed to examine the effect of multisensory stimulation applied by the mother during the heel blood collection procedure in newborns on reducing pain and to evaluate the effects of family-centered practice on the state anxiety of mothers. This study was carried out as a randomized controlled, experimental study. Ethical approval was obtained before starting the study. In addition, written informed consent was obtained from the families of the newborns in the control and intervention groups. The study population consisted of newborns born in a hospital in Turkey between July 2019 and January 2020, and whose heel blood was taken for routine metabolic screening by the Ministry of Health. The sample group consisted of 80 randomly assigned newborns, 40 in the intervention group and 40 in the control group. Newborn mothers in the intervention group gave their babies multisensory stimulation(speech, touch, breastfeeding, eye contact, maternal skin odor) before, during, and after the procedure. The newborns in the control group underwent routine heel blood sampling in the baby room under a radiant heater. The Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) was used for pain assessment. The NIPS score was evaluated by the researcher before the procedure, during the procedure, and 1 minute after the procedure. The State Anxiety Inventory was used to measure the mother's anxiety. The state of anxiety of the mothers in each group was evaluated before and after the procedure.
The aim of this study is to characterize the distribution of pain phenotypes in people with chronic low back pain and to determine the effects of pain phenotypes on pain severity, functional status and quality of life. Participants will be examined to determine the type of pain and questions will be asked to identify the effects.
To test the efficacy of a web-based stepped collaborative care intervention to reduce symptoms of depression, pain, and fatigue and improve health-related quality of life (HRQL) in advanced cancer patients and to reduce stress and depression, and fewer CVD risk factors in caregivers.
