Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test patient feasibility and acceptability of virtual reality biofeedback program in postpartum women for anxiety and depression outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Chiropractic care on pain, quality of life and sleep in pregnant women compared to a control group. The study is designed as non-randomized controlled trial. Forty-two pregnant women at least on the 14th week of gestation will be included. Control group will include women receiving regular care, but no chiropractic care. Care will extend for 4 weeks. Outcomes measures include sleep quality, pain and quality of life questionnaires.
Lack of sleep and poor sleep quality in pregnant women are associated with maternal depression and cognitive-sensual irregularities. These irregularities were reported worsening women's life quality and even increasing suicide ideation. It is also associated with obstetrical complications such as fetal growth deficiency, preterm birth, prolonged labor, preeclampsia and increased abdominal delivery frequency.Vitamin D also may affect the sleep indirectly through the cases with nonspecific pains. It was reported that vitamin D levels are correlated with sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome. The primary purpose of this study is to examine sleep disorders and vitamin D levels in pregnant women, and also, secondarily, vitamin D - anxiety and sleep disorders - anxiety relations were assessed.
Delayed umbilical cord clamping (DCC), usually 1-3 minutes, is reported to be beneficial for term and preterm infants. Nevertheless, there are reasons that urge us to reevaluate the effect of DCC. First, most prior studies were conducted on American and European women. The benefits of DCC in the infants born to Asian women is not clear. Second, neonates born to Asian mothers usually have lower birth weights and placental weights compared to the neonates and placentas of American and European women. The optimal duration of DCC in Asian women remains undetermined. The objective of this study is to determine the association between the blood volume collected and the interval from delivery to cord clamping and number of umbilical cord milking in women with normal term pregnancies with vaginal delivery or elective cesarean delivery (CS). Results form this study will help us determine the optimal duration of DCC or numbers of cord milking in our population in the following studies.
This is a prospective observational case-control study comparing quantitative sensory testing data preformed during the third trimester of pregnancy and within 24 hours postpartum in women on medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) to a gestational age-controlled cohort of women who do not have OUD. The primary goal is to measure elements of quantitative sensory testing including temperature pain threshold, temperature pain tolerance, and thermal and mechanical temporal summation for patients with opioid use disorder on medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and compare these results to gestational age matched controlled pregnant patients not on MAT.
Backgraund and Purpose: The prevalance of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in pregnants varies between 15.4-26.0 percent. As well as pharmacological methods, there are studies reporting that non-pharmacological methods reduce RLS symptoms but the number of studies conducted with pregnants is limited. This study was conducted to determine the effect of hot water application to the legs of pregnants with RLS on their complaints. Materials and methods: The study is a pretest-posttest randomised controlled. Among the pregnants whose IRLS score was more than 11, 13 people to the intervention group and 16 people to the control group were randomised. The data were collected using Personal Information Form, International RLS Study Group Diagnostic Criteria, and the International RLS Rating Scale (IRLS). Hot water application was made of intervention group. The application was made for 20 minutes before bedtime for seven days. No application was made in the control group other than routine care and follow-up. Chi-square test, descriptive statistics and dependent/independent samples t tests were used to assess the data. The value of p<0.05 was accepted as significant.
A case-control trial was conducted to test the early postpartum period clinical outcomes of newborns born to pregnant women with and without COVID-19.
The purpose of this project is to pilot test a decision-making tool that is tailored for women with SCI to support them in the decision-making process. Pilot testing focuses on feasibility and preliminary efficacy.
Physiological changes necessitate the use of pregnancy-specific reference ranges for thyrotrophin (TSH) and free T4 (FT4) to diagnose thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy. Although many centers use fixed upper limits for TSH of 2.5 or 3.0 mU/L, this may lead to overdiagnosis or even overtreatment. The new guidelines of the American Thyroid Association have considerably changed recommendations regarding thyroid function reference ranges in pregnancy accordingly. Any hospital or physician that is still using the 2.5 or 3.0 mU/l cut-off for TSH during pregnancy should evaluate their own lab-specific cut-offs. The investigator's objective is to establish a rational reference range of serum TSH for the diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism in the first, second, and third trimester of pregnant women in the Sancaktepe region in Turkey.
This is a nationwide cohort study to assess maternal and neonatal outcomes following exposure to benzodiazepines during pregnancy.
