Filter by:clinically compare the intensity of post-operative pain and the amount of bacterial load reduction after using 20% Epigallocatechin-3-gallate solution during chemomechanical preparation, versus 2.5% NaOCl, in asymptomatic necrotic mandibular premolars treated in a single visit.
It was aimed to compare neuropathic pain symptoms in hand osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The study was planned as a prospective, randomized controlled study to examine the effect of cold application on pain due to Jackson Pratt drain removal in kidney transplant patients.
A randomized control trial will be conducted in Assuta Ashdod hospital, in the department of obstetrics and gynecology. Pregnant and non pregnant women, undergoing one of the procedures (external cephalic version,amniocentesis or hysteroscopy), will be approached. All willing patients meeting the criteria will sign an informed consent form will. After signing informed consent patients will be randomly allocated into three groups:1) control (no use of VR). 2) use of VR googles without positive psychology. 3) use of VR googles with positive psychology. Before and after the procedure each group will answer pain and anxiety questionnaires. In addition, following, following each procedure, salivary cortisol levels will be measured.
Painful diabetic neuropathy (pDN) occurs in a subset of diabetic patients, and is characterize by burning, shooting, and electric shock-like pain in the arms and legs. This represents a major health crisis, given the increasing prevalence of pDN and the significant impact it has on quality of life. However, there is limited evidence of effective therapies for pDN pain relief. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that may be a promising therapy for pDN. Previous research has shown that rTMS reduces neuropathic pain in pDN (1, 2, 3). While this is promising, it is important to note that rTMS is effective for ~50% of patients with neuropathic pain. (4, 5). Recent advancements in rTMS technology have created the opportunity for remarkable strides in the effectiveness of this potential therapy. This new development called controlled pulse parameter TMS (cTMS) increases the magnitude and longevity of TMS-induced effects. Although not tested in chronic pain, cTMS possess the power to make transformative changes in pDN, potentially yielding greater and widespread improvements in pain. The overarching goal of the proposed research is to assess the effects of a 5-day cTMS stimulation protocol on measures of pain and neurological function in individuals with pDN. 1.

The objective of this study will be to evaluate if photobiomodulation (FBM) can reduce postoperative pain in patients who will undergo endodontic surgery. For this randomized, controlled and double-blind clinical study, 34 patients without comorbidities who need endodontic surgery in the upper jaw (15 to 25 teeth) will be recruited. They will be randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 17) photobiomodulation (808nm, 100 mW, and 4J/cm2 with 5 points per vestibular). Applications will be made in the immediate postoperative period and 24 hours after surgery. Control group (n = 17) a FBM simulation will be performed in the same way as in the experimental group. In this group, the required analgesia will be administered within the standard with ibuprofen. Both groups will perform the necessary conventional procedures considered the gold standard in the literature. Both the patient and the evaluator will be blinded to the intervention performed. The primary outcome variable of the study will be postoperative pain, which will be assessed using the visual analog scale at all postoperative control visits (baseline, 24 hours and 7 days). As for the secondary outcome variables, the amount of systemic medication received according to the patient's need (will be provided by the investigator).. Radiographic images will be obtained after 1 and 2 months for evaluation of the repair (dimensions of the lesion, radiopacity). These radiographs will be taken digitally with the positioners implemented. Edema, ecchymosis, and evaluation of soft tissues in the anterior portion of the intra and extra-oral maxilla will also be evaluated. In addition, a digital thermometer. These parameters will be evaluated 24 hours and 7 days after the intervention. The X-rays will be taken in the 1st and 3rd month respectively.
Purpose: To explore the effect of analgesic management under the guidance of qNOX monitoring on the comfort level and prognosis of patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU. Method:After admission to ICU, the patients were randomly divided into the analgesia group guided by BPS（Behavioral Pain Scale） and physiological indicators monitoring and qNOX-guided analgesia group (qNOX group). Sedation and analgesia program after admission to ICU (continuous injection pump) : propofol 1.5-4.5mg/kg.h, remifentanil 5-8ug/kg.h, maintain sedation goals RASS（Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale）-3 to -4 scores, BPS（Behavioral Pain Scale）3 to 4 scores. The researchers worked with the bedside nurse to plan different care procedures, including :1) central venous catheter or arterial catheter puncture; 2) The patient is turned over completely so that the back can be washed and the sheets changed; 3) Endotracheal sputum aspiration (patients with intubation or in tracheotomy state ); 4) Dressing the wound. Primary outcome:Value of qNOX at BPS（Behavioral Pain Scale）≥5 (qNOX sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value) Secondary outcome:To investigate the patient baseline variables that may affect qNOX; Variables that may influence qNOX in relation to critical illness.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and the side effects of hyosine-N- butylbromide (HBB) & Celecoxib administered alone versus in combination reducing pain associated with outpatient hysteroscopy in married female patients aged 18-40 attending the outpatient hysteroscopy clinic of Kasr Al Ainy, Cairo University Hospital.
Electronic sports (Esports) has become a branch that started to gain popularity in the gaming community in the early 2000s and that more and more individuals are interested in. Esports players are often called sedentary athletes because gaming requires prolonged sedentary activity. The aim of this study is to adapt the Occupational Sitting and Physical Activity Questionnaire to individuals playing Esports and to validate it in Turkish.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of self acupressure and acupressure applied by therapists on pain, nausea-vomiting, and mental well-being in oncology patients. For this purpose, 93 individuals with stage 1-stage 3 cancer will be included in the study. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Is acupressure effective on pain, nausea-vomiting and mental well-being in oncology patients? Is there a difference in the effectiveness of self-acupressure and acupressure applied by therapist on pain, nausea-vomiting and mental well-being? The participants will be included in the study as three groups, namely the self-acupressure group, the acupressure group applied by the therapist, and the control group. Self-acupressure participants will self-administer acupressure. In the acupressure group, which will be applied by the therapist, acupressure will be applied to the participants by researchers who have acupressure certificate. In the control group, acupressure etc. No additional application will be made. Visual analog scale, nausea-vomiting and retching index, and mental well-being scales will be applied to all groups at the beginning of the study and three days after the study.
