Filter by:Aim: The aim of this research was to examine the effect of the local vibration technique applied to the injection site during subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injection. Methods: The patients were randomly assigned to an experimental (vibration) group (n= 32), a placebo control group (n= 30), and a nonintervention control group (n= 31). Participants in the experimental group were given slight vibration to the injection site before the injection was administered; for participants in the placebo group, the device was placed on the injection site but with the vibration button kept switched off, while for the nonintervention control group, routine subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin injection was administered. The level of pain felt by the participants during the administration of the injection was assessed with a visual analog scale.
It is widely recognized that the use of non-pharmacological methods in neonatal pain management is low both globally and in our country. Nurses play a crucial role in managing pain through various techniques and in preventing its negative effects on newborns. Toys with sounds, lights, and different features have been found to effectively capture infants' attention. Consequently, it is anticipated that baby crib mobiles, which combine these attention-grabbing features, could serve as effective distractions during needle interventions, potentially reducing pain and stress. However, there is a lack of research on this specific application.
Informed consent is the first step in every medical procedure. It is important for the patient to clearly understand how the procedure will be performed, what to expect from the process, and the possible complications. Any of the specified processes disruption may alter procedure satisfaction and treatment outcomes. Studies have reported that providing insufficient information before interventional procedures increases anxiety and the severity of pain during the procedure. In this study, alongside the standard procedures for obtaining oral and written consent, it is envisaged to augment patient comprehension and engagement by visually demonstrating the treatment areas and needle insertion points using a spinal model. Within the study framework, patients will be presented with both verbal and written informed consent, supplemented by visual aids utilizing a spinal model. The study aims to assess and compare the efficacy of this enhanced consent process in terms of patient understanding, procedural acceptance, and subsequent satisfaction levels.
This study aimed to comparatively investigate the effects of ESWT and LLLT added to conventional CDT (which is the standard treatment for breast cancer-related lymphedema) on patients' limb volume, pain intensity, functional status and quality of life.
The purpose of this research was to study whether the additional application of a certain medical intervention making use of radiofrequencies (pulsed-radiofrequency) would reduce pain in patients with herniated disk.
Pain is an unpleasant experience that can negatively affect all aspects of the patients life and lead to a decrease in quality of life. Pain can also be encountered as a reason for a surgical intervention. For this reason, it has become one of the most common problems experienced by patients in the postoperative period. Pain management is a universal requirement in health care and is of great importance for patients. If the pain is not managed well in the postoperative period, it may cause some complications in the patient. If pain is controlled, early discharge of the patient, lower healthcare costs and increased patient satisfaction are achieved. In terms of providing effective pain control, it is provided by nurses, who are health professionals, to spend more time with the patient, to lead the patient in pain management and to analyze the results. The aim of the thesis study is to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology on pain intensity, sleep quality and bowel functions in patients who have undergone appendectomy surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate a new noninvasive technique that patients may use to help reduce the pain that they experience during cortisone injections for trigger fingers. It will also help provide information that may help support the gate control theory of pain as a framework for understanding and managing acute pain.The main questions it aims to answer are: Can a physical stimulus near the site of cortisone injection reduce the pain experienced by the patient during the injection? Does the physical stimulation or the cognitive distraction contribute more to pain relief? Researchers will compare a physical stimulus near the injection site to a placebo (a similar task that theoretically should not reduce the experience of pain) to see if physical stimuli work to improve pain during injections. Participants will: Estimate how much pain they expect to experience during a cortisone injection Receive a cortisone injection for a trigger finger while performing one of three possible actions (control, placebo task, or the investigated physical stimulus near the injection site) Express how much pain they actually experienced during the injection
Post-thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS) affects respiratory function, hindering sputum clearance and ventilation, and represents a significant complication of thoracic surgery. The analgesic effect of esketamine combined with butorphanol in PTPS is still unclear, so this study focused on this aspect.
The aim of this study was to detect and compare the effects of ShotBlocker® and Buzzy® methods on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction during the administration of Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccine to school-aged children. This study was an experimental randomized controlled trial. The sample was included 138 children in a family health centers aged 13 years who underwent Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccine. The participants were randomly assigned to ShotBlocker®, Buzzy®, and control groups. Each group included 46 children, of whom 23 were female and 23 were male. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Visual Analog Scale were used to collect the data.
This study aims to analyze the effect of laparoscopic guided transversus abdominis plane (LG-TAP) block compared to placebo for postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. One group of participants received a (LG-TAP) block with local anesthetic while the other group received (LG-TAP) block with saline solution (placebo).
