Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a sensory-motor problem characterized by an uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling that causes a strong and overwhelming desire to move the legs, usually during periods of inactivity during sleep.It is reported that pregnancy is an important risk factor in the onset and worsening of RLS.Individuals with RLS avoid social activities, often experience psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic sleep disorders. Therefore, restless leg syndrome significantly affects daily life and coping with these problems. Individuals with RLS initially undertake a variety of non-pharmacological practices to relieve symptoms.Progressive muscle relaxation exercises, reducing the level of epinephrine and norepinephrine in the blood and heart rate, reducing oxygen consumption, regulating metabolic rate, lowering blood pressure, reducing muscle tension, preventing fatigue and restlessness, decreasing pain by increasing endorphin levels, increasing coping with pain and stress, It has many benefits such as improving sleep and quality of life.This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise training and follow-up given to pregnant women with restless leg syndrome on the severity of restless leg syndrome, quality of life associated with restless legs syndrome, and sleep quality.
This study analyzed the relationship between extubation timing and Emergence agitation in 18-60 years old adults undergoing nasal surgery, such as nasal septum correction, endoscopic sinus surgery, and nasal bone fracture reduction. The number of agitation, sedation score, pain score, operation method, analgesic drugs and other data were recorded to analyze the effect of deep anesthesia extubation on agitation in patients with nasal surgery. It also provides a clinical basis for the prevention and treatment of agitation during the recovery period of such operations in adults.
1. Background and Clinical Need: Delirium is common at the end of life and is challenging to control. There is a clinical need to study the benefits of commonly used drugs like Haloperidol and Olanzapine in the management of hyperactive delirium in advanced cancer or end-stage organ disease patients in a scientifically robust manner. 2. Aims/Hypotheses: The investigators aim to study the effectiveness of Haloperidol compared with Olanzapine in the management of hyperactive delirium in advanced cancer or end-stage organ disease patients receiving palliative care. The investigators hypothesise that Olanzapine is as effective as Haloperidol in the control of hyperactive delirium. 3. Methods: The investigators will conduct a pragmatic, multi-centre, (hospital, inpatient hospice, community hospital) open-label randomised-controlled trial comparing the use of Haloperidol versus Olanzapine in advanced cancer or end-stage organ disease patients with hyperactive delirium. The primary outcome is the change in Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) scores among patients in each treatment group at 8 hours post-drug administration. The secondary outcome is the control of hyperactive delirium at 24, 48 and 72 hours using either Haloperidol or Olanzapine. The mean doses of Haloperidol and Olanzapine used as well as the volume of rescue Midazolam required as well as side-effects of the study medications, survival after enrolment into study will also be studied. 4. Significance to palliative care The results of this study will advance the knowledge of delirium management worldwide with regards to the efficacy of Haloperidol and Olanzapine in managing hyperactive delirium in patients with advanced cancer or end-stage organ disease. Haloperidol is used traditionally in palliative care for managing delirium. However, as a conventional anti-psychotic, it does cause extra-pyramidal side-effects. Olanzapine, a newer atypical anti-psychotic with a more favourable side-effect profile is being used increasingly in the control of delirium. These 2 commonly used drugs have never been compared head to head in a randomised-controlled, multi-centre study.
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) have been studying by clinicians, particularly by anesthesiologists, pretty long, however the most inspiring advancements were achieved during the last few decades. The most recent classification of PND which includes cognitive decline diagnosed before operation (described as neurocognitive disorder); any form of acute event (postoperative delirium) and cognitive decline diagnosed up to 30 days after the procedure (delayed neurocognitive recovery) and up to 12 months (postoperative neurocognitive disorder) was proposed in 2017. However at will one can notice at least one uncertainty that pertinent to the definition of delirium, emergency delirium and not mentioned in the classification discussed agitation. The objective of the study is to determine if there is a difference between emergence agitation and emergence delirium.
It is known that some factors are associated with emergence agitation(EA), and investigators are still unable to predict accurately those who undergoing maxillofacial surgery are at great risks.This study intend to identify the risk factors for EA and to explore the mechanism of EA , which is helpful for early prediction, prevention and treatment in children.
This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AXS-05 compared to placebo in the treatment of agitation symptoms in subjects with agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of hot and cold water application on complaints and sleep quality in pregnant women with restless legs syndrome (RLS). Pregnant women with a total of 90 RLS, including 30 people in each group, will be included in the study. The data of this study will be collected by Personal Information Form, RLS Diagnosis Criteria Questionnaire, RLS Severity Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Post Application Follow-up Chart and Application Satisfaction Form. While hot and cold water is applied in the intervention groups in the study, no application other than routine maintenance and follow-up will be done to the control group.Data analysis obtained in the research will be performed in TURCOSA statistical software (Turcosa Analytics Ltd Co, Turkey, www.turcosa.com.tr).In comparisons, a value of p <0.05 will be considered statistically significant.In order to conduct the study, the necessary Academic Committee decision, Ethics Committee approval (September 09, 2020 and number 2020/445) and institutional permission were obtained. The individuals included in the study will be informed about the purpose of the research, their verbal consent will be obtained and the participant's informed consent form will be signed.
Inhalation anesthesia is the most frequently used technique and is performed in around 70% of surgeries worldwide. Sevoflurane is the most frequently used halogenated anesthetic and is used in 2/3 of the cases. The anesthetic strength of inhalation agents was established in the classic work of Eger and colleagues who determined the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of an inhaled anesthetic at atmospheric pressure, necessary to prevent a motor reaction in response to a pain stimulus in 50% of patients. Agitation is a frequent anesthesia complications and it not only lengthens the period of post anesthetic awakening and need for advance monitoring of the patient, but may be a predisposing factor in the development of postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) which are independent predictors of increased mortality, prolonged treatment in the ICU and hospital, and prolonged social adaptation of the operated patients.(The ability of the patient to serve themselves independently.). There is a fairly popular point of view that there is no specific prophylaxis or treatment of postoperative agitation. However, a variant of anesthesia induction with sevoflurane was recently proposed, which reduced the frequency of agitation in children from 24.7% to 4.4%. The technique consisted in interrupting anesthesia at the moment of loss of consciousness, awakening the patient and subsequently performing re-induction. Since this technique might be time consuming in the busiest period of a surgical theatre and not safe if performed with the airways still unsecured it is advisable to shift the Wash In/Wash Out procedure to the stage of awakening at the end of surgery.
The investigators propose to test the use of pramipexole in patients being treated for Opioid Use Disorder to test its ability to reduce symptoms of both Restless Legs Syndrome and protracted opioid withdrawal and thereby promote initiation, engagement, and retention in treatment.
