Filter by:The aim of this planned randomized controlled clinical study is to evaluate the morbidity of the palatal donor area after free gingival graft (FGG) operations. In this study, wound healing and pain levels in the palatal region will be evaluated after cyanoacrylate and concentrated growth factor (CGF) applications.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the topical application of Novox® Drop on surgical wounds after the extraction of lower third molars can have a clinical advantage. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the possible reduction of masseteric trismus (masticatory muscle spasm - primary outcome) and of post-operative pain and facial edema (swelling - secondary outcomes) after the extraction of impacted third molars compared to those who do not use it (placebo=glycerin-based gel).
The purpose of this study is to explore whether a non-invasive form of ear stimulation called transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) can change the way participants perceive pain. Investigators will recruit up to 20 participants with chronic post-stroke upper extremity pain. The goal is to determine if there is a pain reduction after ear stimulation.
This project is a single-site, single-arm, clinical feasibility trial examining the impact of a single-session, 2-hour Guided Respiration Mindfulness Therapy training for chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Aim : This study will be conducted to determine the effect of breast milk and knitted octopus in reducing pain caused by routine orogastric tube insertion in preterm newborns. Method : This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial. The study group will consist of 66 preterms with a gestational age of 32-34 weeks fed by orogastric tube. Informed Consent Form, Preterm Newborn Introduction Form, Physiologic Parameters Measurement Form and Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) will be used in the study. The research will be conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital in Denizli province. Newborns in the breast milk group will be given oral breast milk before the procedure. Newborns in the knitted octopus group will be provided with the octopus touching various parts of their bodies as a tactile stimulation before the procedure. No intervention will be performed on newborns in the control group. Data will be obtained by the researcher from camera recording and patient file. In evaluating the data, continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables will be given as number and percentage. Parametric and non-parametric tests will be used to examine the differences between groups. Hypothesis: It is expected to contribute to the development of a new approach in the pain management of preterm newborns by evaluating the effectiveness of breast milk and knitted octopus in reducing the pain caused by orogastric tube insertion in preterm newborns.
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) is defined as the minimum force applied to an area that is perceived as pain. PPT is considered an objective measurement tool to assess pain levels. Studies have assessed the difference in pain levels between clear aligners and fixed appliances using subjective pain scales. No study has utilized PPT to evaluate the difference in pain between aligners and fixed braces at different time points. This study will aim to compare the self- reported and experimental pain perception between the clear aligner and fixed appliance therapies during the phase of crown alignment and to assess how long pain is perceived in the following five days from the adjustment of the appliance.
This is the feasibility study of a single-site parallel three-armed participant-blinded controlled randomised efficacy trial of a 5-week course of the 'NeuOst treatment', compared to a designated control intervention, and to usual care only, for adults with pDPN.
This study aims to show the effect of VR on skin prick test-related pain and fear in children. The investigators will compare the effect of VR on skin prick test-induced pain and fear in children applying to the Pediatric Allergy outpatient clinic with controls who underwent skin prick test without the use of VR.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Nav1.8 inhibition on activity-dependent slowing (ADS) of C-nociceptor nerve fibers, evoked action potential (AP) conduction velocity of C-nociceptor nerve fibers using VX-150 and VX-548.
Infusion tests are now the gold standard for the diagnosis of chronic adult hydrocephalus (CAH), also known as normal pressure hydrocephalus. It is an invasive procedure using the same approach as a lumbar puncture. Once the intrathecal puncture is performed, the intracranial pressure is measured in lateral decubitus via a pressure head. Dynamic tests (injection of 0.9% NaCl at a constant flow rate) are performed after recording the basal pressure. This type of test lasts 30 to 45 minutes in lateral decubitus. Patients with CAH have cognitive-behavioral disorders that can alter the gesture and its interpretation in case of movements or contractures. Movement artefacts lead to a longer recording time. The longer the test, the more the patients' tolerance tends to decrease. Moreover, the patient's feeling towards this test is important because it may have to be repeated. Pain, anxiety and patient comfort are essential parameters to consider. Non-medicinal techniques (hypnosis, music therapy) have shown a tendency to reduce anxiety in pediatric and adult populations with an impact on instantaneous anxiety but also on personality-related anxiety. Most studies are focused on specific pathologies, primarily in palliative care, or on pediatric application. The use of these techniques in an elderly population with mild cognitive-behavioral disorders has not been explored. The objective is to evaluate the impact of hypnosis on anxiety, pain and comfort during the lumbar infusion test.
