Filter by:To determine the effects of virtual reality application during trigger point injection on patients' pain, anxiety and comfort levels.This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental type. The population of the research was planned to include patients who applied to the Algology polyclinic for trigger point injection. The sample of the research will consist of 150 patients who meet the sampling criteria and agree to participate in the research.Inclusion criteria: Trigger point injection applied for the first time, 18 years and over, understand and speak Turkish, understand verbal and written information given.Patients will be divided into two groups: experimental (virtual reality) and control groups.Data will be collected with the Case Report Form, State Anxiety Scale, General Comfort Scale and Visual Analog Scale.Patients' anxiety, comfort and pain levels will be evaluated before and after trigger point injection.
According to the latest published literature reviews, stroke patients have a prevalence of 19.5% of minor depression and 21.7% of major depression. Furthermore, the loss of autonomy is the most strongly correlated variable in these emotional disorders. In addition, emotional disturbances - in particular anxiety, sadness, crying, and anhedonia - are interpreted as natural reactions to the loss of physical capacity. Along these lines, it has been shown that the use of Virtual Reality (VR) as a co-adjuvant therapy of neuro-rehabilitation in stroke patients with emotional disorders decreases the incidence of these disorders.
This study investigates the time course and magnitude of eight months of isolation and confinement in a spaceflight analog facility on brain changes and cognitive performance. The study also assesses the feasibility of an immersive and interactive virtual environment (VE) to enhance positive affect and mental well-being during prolonged isolation and confinement.
Physiotherapy intervention programs in the post-stroke patient should develop strategies to assess functional deficit, prevent poorly adaptive plasticity and maximize functional gain. For relearning and functional training, the required activities require motor control and must comply with the following principles: movements close to normal, muscular activation, movement conduction, focused attention, repetition of desired movements, specificity of training, intensity and transfer. These principles underlie the most widely used conventional physiotherapy intervention programs in the hospital setting. Advances in technology have made it possible to start using immersive VR in the therapeutic approach to various pathologies that affect motor function.
Bladder cancer (BC) is the seventh most common cancer disease among men worldwide, and the fourth most common cancer in Danish men with an incidence of more than 2000 and a prevalence of 650 per 100000 citizens. BC have a poor prognosis even when treated radically with cystectomy. The 5-year survival rate after radical cystectomy for T2 muscle-invasive tumors are 23-60 % and decreasing further to 23 % for T4 muscle-invasive tumors. BC is highly recurrent with an overall recurrence of 50 %. BC is considered to be the number one cost-expensive malignant disease of all malignant diseases measured by lifetime per patient in the United States. The degree of muscle invasion in the bladder is histologically and clinically defined by a transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-B). The tumor is resected radically if possible. Thus, it is of absolute importance that a sufficient TURB is performed, since a resection to the muscle layer of the bladder wall, the detrusor, is of prognostic value for the patient. Problem: The quality of the surgery is depending on the surgeon A recent international meta-analysis shows that up to 78% of the tumors are not radically resected. When these tumors are resected in a second TURB 24-28% of the tumors are found to be muscle-invasive. Furter, there is evidence indicating that the outcome of the resection is dependent on surgeon experience. Large multi-centre retrospective studies have showed that resident-involvement in TURB results in less radical bladder tumor resections and result in higher recurrence rates of bladder tumors and high numbers of re-admission after TURB. In Denmark, the current surgical curriculum states that TURB is a learning goal in the first year of the training. The formal training in TURB in Denmark is traditional apprenticeship in accordance with the Halstedian principle "see one, do one, teach one". No validated simulator-based certification in TURB exits today in Denmark or internationally. Purpose: Start from the beginning - improve the training of the surgeons Simulator-based training in surgical procedures is an effective method to gain surgical skills in a large spectrum of surgical procedures. In the initial phase of the learning curve it has even proven more effective than traditional apprenticeship and thus both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Association of Urology (EAU) calls for implementation of simulation training programmes in medical surgical education. The aim of this project is to validate and develop a simulator-based urological training programme in TURB, to implement the programme nationally and internationally, and hereby improve the outcomes in the surgical treatment of patients with bladder cancer.
Objective: To investigate the effect of vestibular rehabilitation exercises supported with virtual reality using virtual glasses technology on dizziness, static and dynamic balance, functional mobility, fear of falling, anxiety and depression in the short term (3 weeks) in the elderly with dizziness.
