Pawsitive Impacts of Therapy Dog Visits
PainPain5 moreThe goal of this unique 18 month study is to better understand the experiences of pain patients in the Royal University Hospital (RUH) Emergency Department (ED), to create excellence in health care. The purpose is to measure the impact of visiting therapy dogs on reducing ED patient pain.
HD-tDCS: Effects on the Somatosensory System
Acute PainNeuroplasticity2 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of high definition tDCS on different cortical targets in modulating the nociceptive system in the healthy subjects.
ESPB vs.Combination of ESPB and Superficial PIPB in Cardiac Surgery
AnesthesiaAnalgesia2 moreCardiac surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain. Pain control is an essential part of enhanced recovery protocols. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the analgesic efficacies of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and the combination of ESPB and superficial parasternal intercostal plane block (PIPB) in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
Investigation of the Effect of White Noise Listening on Pain and Comfort During Invasive Interventions...
PainAcute2 moreComfort, distress and the absence of pain can be described as free from anxiety, somewhat enjoyable and ease (peaceful) situation. The child health and disease nurse should come up with physiological problems of the baby, increase the comfort degree to reduce the stress level of the baby and ensure improvement in the baby's location. This research was experimentally designed to investigate the effect of the baby's own intrauterine heart sound on pain and comfort during the invasive procedures applied to the healthy born babies in the delivery units of the Batman Gynecology and Pediatrics Hospital. The research will be performed by selecting samples in a simple random sampling method from the babies who born healthy and timely in the normal vaginal way. The number of samples will be determined by power analysis method after pilot study. The previously white noise will have listened to the babies in experimental group and will be recorded by camera during invasive interventions and the pain and comfort scale will be applied. The scales will be applied to the control group let them without listening White noise but also will be recorded with camera and thus the data will be collected. A nurse working in the unit will perform invasive interventions, later two specialists will watch video records and so the pain and comfort scales will be filled. No study on this subject was found in the international literature review. Based on the need to fill this gap in the literature, it seems that the study will contribute to the field of child health and diseases nursing.

Virtual Reality on Pain, Fear, and Emotional Appearance During Phlebotomy in Pediatric Hematology...
Virtual RealityPain2 moreIn this study, the effect of virtual reality, which is one of the pain relief methods, on the pain, fear and emotional appearance associated with the procedure, was evaluated in children aged 4-12 years who will undergo phelobotomy in a Pediatric Hematology and Oncology outpatient clinic.
Intranasal Fentanyl for Management of Pain Associated With Cystoscopic Procedures
Other Acute PainPain Experienced During CystoscopyThe purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of intranasally-administrated fentanyl pectin spray (Lazanda®)given to decrease the pain during cystoscopy (the passage of a telescopic instrument into the bladder for purpose of diagnosing the cause of blood in the urine, urinary complaints or any other problems with the urinary bladder). The current standard practice is to use Lidocaine jelly (a local anesthetic) given through the urethra to lubricate and decrease local pain. In this study, an additional medicine (Lazanda®) is used to reduce pain that occurs during and after the above procedure.
The Calmer Project
Acute PainThe purpose of this study is to see if the Calmer is more effective at managing acute pain in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care than the current standard of care in the unit. Hypothesis: While receiving treatment with Calmer, infants will show lower behavioral pain scores and lower heart rates, and more stable autonomic regulation as measured by heart rate variability indices, than infants given a soother plus facilitated tucking (standard of care) during routine blood collection.
The Influence of Testosterone on Experimental Pain Perception
Acute PainThis trial examined how the administration of exogenous testosterone would influence pain tolerance and other endogenous steroids (i.e. estradiol and progesterone).
The Effect of Helfer Skin Tap Technique on Pain, Fear, and Anxiety in Children Undergoing Intramuscular...
PainAcute4 moreThe aim of this study was to examine the effect of the Helfer Skin Tapping technique on pain, fear, and anxiety in children who received intramuscular injections. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the the control group in the mean score of the "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale", "Child Fear Scale", and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" during and after the Helfer Skin Tapping technique. H1: During and after the Helfer Skin Tapping technique, the mean score of the "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale", "Child Fear Scale", and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" is significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group.
