Active clinical trials for "Acute Pain"

The investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study using an axillary brachial plexus block in patients undergoing elective surgery of the distal forearm and hand to characterize and describe the pharmacokinetics of bupivacaine associated with perineural dexamethasone. The pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed by measuring bupivacaine plasma levels at different time intervals after the blockade (15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes), allowing comparison between 2 different groups: Bupivacaine (B) and Bupivacaine-dexamethasone (BD). Thus, the hypothesis is that plasma levels of bupivacaine during the first 90 minutes after a blockade are lower in the presence of perineural dexamethasone, suggesting a decrease, at least initially, in systemic absorption from the injection site.

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of grasping reflex stimulation applied during peripheral intravenous central catheter (PIC) intervention on pain and stress in preterm infants receiving treatment and care in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of complementary therapies delivered via mobile technologies have a therapeutic effect on surgical patients' anxiety, pain, and self-efficacy in healing reports before, following, and at 10-day follow-up.

Pain is a public health condition, which causes great functional disability. Its consequences pervade the personal and social life of the patient, leading to significant changes in their interpersonal relationships, including work, family and social spheres, reducing the ability to perform daily activities. Conventional treatment modalities have been show a very poor therapeutic response, in that most individuals end up becoming polymedicated patients and refractory to treatment. Among non-pharmacological techniques with promising analgesic effects it includes both the hypnotic analgesia and the transcranial stimulation of direct current (tDCS).

Pain is common and can contribute to both psychological and physiological effects if not treated. Currently primary care paramedics have limited selections within their pain management tool box. This contributes to inadequate pain management. Methoxyflurane is a safe, easy and effective choice in prehospital management of pain. The impact of this feasibility trial, will hope to inform the larger multi-centred trial and then support the implementation of out-of-hospital Canadian National Guidelines for prehospital pain control, enabling paramedics to provide rapid, effective prehospital pain relief to patients.

This study is to investigate the effect of CBD on acute pain in healthy volunteers in a well-established acute pain model.

The main goal of this study is to investigate whether the communication between patients and healthcare providers has an impact on pain and anxiety induced by the insertion of a peripheral venous catheter in an emergency department. Another goal is to determine if the effect is mediated by the content of the message in itself or if it is mediated by non-verbal cues . Therefore, the message will be delivered by either an audio recording in the first phase of the study, and by the healthcare providers themselves in the second phase of the study. A secondary goal is to assess whether there are discrepancies between the patients' pain and anxiety reports and the healthcare providers' evaluation of the patient's pain and anxiety.

The study purposes are to compare the effects of different combinations of sensory interventions on newborns' pain responses, physiological distress (heart rate and oxygen saturation), and crying event during heel stick procedures.

The aim of this thesis is; It was planned to determine the effect of Turkish music and comedy films on pain, vital signs and cortisol levels of patients who had orthopedic surgery. The research is a randomized controlled study. 132 patients who meet the research conditions will be included in the study. Patient Information Form, Numerical Pain Rating Scale, Physiological Parameter Form developed by the researcher will be used for data collection.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether, during a waiting period in an emergency department, the patient's participation in a modern art therapy session decreases the patient's level of anxiety and pain. As a secondary objective, this study aims to explore whether participation in a modern art therapy session is perceived positively by the patient. This objective will be assessed by both patient self-report and art therapist heteroreport. In this work, the investigators will therefore seek to demonstrate the potential positive impact of modern art therapy conducted during times of waiting for examination or results.
