Filter by:37. babies under the gestational week are considered preterm babies, and babies between 32-37 gestational weeks are considered late preterm babies (WHO, 2023). Dec. While the preterm birth rate in the world is 10%, this rate is 13% in Turkey. The life rate of preterm babies has increased in recent years and they are subjected to many painful interventions for diagnosis, treatment and preventive purposes. At the time of birth, they experience painful interventions such as vitamin K, hepatitis B vaccine administration, heel blood collection. Painful interventions cause an increase in cortisol levels, resulting in impaired blood sugar in infants, impaired brain development, impaired growth and development (Akyildiz et al., 2023). In the short term, they may give signs of a decrease in oxygen saturation, an increase in heart rate, metabolic acidosis( Akcan et al., 2017). Procedural pain management is also important for the neurological development of preterm infants (Perg et al., 2018). For these reasons, the pain of the newborn due to interventional procedures should be managed well.
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of music therapy on pain and anxiety following coronary angiography in patients in intensive care. 60 patients who underwent coronary angiography will be randomized and divided into experimental (n = 30) and control (n = 30) groups. "Personal Data Form", "Pain Visual Analog Scale (Pain-VAS)", "Anxiety Visual Analog Scale (Anxiety-VAS)" and "Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS)" were used to collect data. While participants in the experimental group will be given a problem-solving training program, no intervention will be made to the control group. The data in the control and experimental groups will be distributed homogeneously.
Background: Increasing opioid misuse is a worldwide problem. About 10% of opioid misusers are primarily exposed to opioids at the Emergency Department (ED). This study was conducted to determine the feasibility for a clinical trial investigating the effect of Virtual Reality therapy on opioid consumption at the ED. Methods: Adult patients were included when primarily seen by the Emergency Physician and presenting with a NRS pain score ≥4. Main objective was to identify the target population and evaluate outcome measures to sustain a trial incorporating the Oral Morphine Equivalent (OME) at the ED as the primary endpoint. Primary outcome was mean OME administered at the ED. Secondary outcomes included NRS pain scores, main symptoms and type of analgesics administered at the ED.
Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures among general surgery cases. As with many open surgical methods, this repair is also performed laparoscopically. Among these closed methods, the one method is laparoscopic extended total extraperitoneal repair (eTEP). The benefits of laparoscope include less postoperative pain and complications, faster recovery, reduced chronic pain, and recurrence rate. One of the recent debates regarding the laparoscopic technique is mesh fixation. Fixation of the mesh to the cooper ligament can prevent mesh migration and consequently reduce the recurrence rate. However, it has been reported that this fixation may increase postoperative pain. Several studies have reported that recurrence may be due to inadequate mesh fixation technique. In contrast, other prospective randomized studies have found relapse unrelated to mesh fixation. There are studies in the literature on mesh fixation related to the total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) technique. These studies are generally planned for unilateral hernias. It is a controversial issue among surgeons that the possibility of mesh migration is higher in bilateral hernias since there is a larger dissection area. This discussion is the starting point of this study. There were no studies in the literature regarding mesh fixation in bilateral inguinal hernias. The aim of this study is to compare bilateral inguinal hernia patients with and without mesh fixation in the eTEP technique in terms of both mesh migration and clinical features.

However, it has been reported that this fixation may increase postoperative pain. Several studies have reported that recurrence may be due to inadequate mesh fixation technique. In contrast, other prospective randomized studies have found relapse unrelated to mesh fixation. In the eTEP technique, dissection is performed in a larger area than in TEP. For this reason, it can be thought that the possibility of mesh displacement is higher in the eTEP procedure. The purpose of this study is to confirm this idea with a prospective study. There are studies in the literature on mesh fixation related to the total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) technique. However, there is no study on mesh detection in the eTEP technique. The aim of the study is to compare patients who underwent without mesh fixation laparoscopic TEP and eTEP repair in terms of clinical data such as mesh displacement and hernia recurrence, chronic pain, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.
Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Reiki on pain intensity and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Materials and methods The research was conducted as a qualitative study using pretest-posttest, double-blind, randomized controlled study and semi-structured in-depth interview. In this study, patients receiving HD treatment in three separate private dialysis centers in Turkey were randomized to Reiki and sham Reiki groups. In the first three hours of the HD session, in the first three hours of the HD session, three sessions a week for a total of 12 sessions for 30 minutes (min), the first level is applied to 9 main points (crown, forehead, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root chakras, knees, ankles and feet). While applying Reiki, the sham Reiki group was touched at the same points for the same period of time by the uninitiated practitioner. At the beginning and end of the study, Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOLTM-36) scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-Pain) before and after the application, and psychodynamic reactions experienced during the Reiki application after the application were evaluated. At the end of the research, the Reiki group's opinions about the Reiki experience were collected using a form consisting of semi-structured questions.
The purpose of this research is to find out if different types of anxiety impact the sensation of how sensitive various muscles are to the application of pressure. This information can help researchers and healthcare providers better understand how people feel pain differently based on emotional factors This study is designed to study people who can be expected to have normal pain sensation processing
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind trial was to compare the effects of preemptive Oxycodone and sufentanil at the same dose on pain and inflammatory response after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the effect of single dose intravenous injection of Oxycodone and sufentanil before TACE on inflammatory reaction after TACE; And (ii) evaluate the effects of different opioid drugs on pain and nausea/vomiting after TACE.
The study was conducted in the ENT Clinic of Mersin Şehir Training and Research Hospital between June 1 and December 1, 2021, with a total of 60 adult patients, 30 in the study group and 30 in the control group, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
