Active clinical trials for "Pain, Procedural"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether utilization of the "bag squeeze" technique during flexible cystoscopy changes pain scores using a study questionnaire designed by the team which comprises a validated Lingard pain rating scale.

This is a qualitative study, using Grounded Theory. The aim is to deepen our knowledge about how children perceive pain in conjunction with dental treatment; tooth extractions in particular. What increases, and what decreases, the risk of children experiencing pain; and how do they perceive dental treatments where pain might occur, either as procedural pain, or postoperatively?

This study is mainly focusing on reducing the pain scores during IV cannulation in pediatric population in the preoperative period. Applying EMLA cream is a well-known fact world wide. we would like to study the effect of ultrasound waves in the penetration of the given drung into the skin so that we could achieve the effect of the drug quickly.

This randomized controlled study will enroll the eligible patients to either the Buzzy device arm or to the EMLA cream arm as a standard therapy. This will be done with concealment; however, blinding will not be practical. Will include 300 participants with 150 in each arm in Al Saad pediatric emergency. The research nurse will use a known valid and reliable measurements scales for the pain and anxiety. The data will be recorded with timing in a prepared form, The SPSS 22.0 and Epi-info soft wares and appropriate statistical tests will be used and will consider P value of <0.05 is statistically significant. The investigators are anticipating a Buzzy device effectiveness to be not less than the EMLA cream but the rapidity of effectiveness in buzzy device of around one minute compared to 30-45 minutes of EMLA cream will be an important outcome in a busy emergency department.

Pain associated with procedures performed on adult ICU patients is ubiquitous and the subject of research attention.While there is growing evidence about the prevalence, characteristics and measurement of procedural pain in ICUs, most of this evidence has been derived from English-speaking patients in the United States who were able to verbally report the intensity and distress of this pain. Frequently performed procedures include turning,chest tube removal,wound care/wound dressing change,endotracheal suctioning,central catheter insertion(arterial/venous, have been a focus for research. Other potentially painful procedures, including lumbar puncture and physiotherapy,are numerous and have not been systematically studied in adults. Patients unable to verbally report their pain have not been able to participate in procedural pain studies, which has limited the generalizability of study results to a narrow population of ICU patients. The Specific Aims of this proposed European-based, international study of ICU patients undergoing selected procedures are to: Describe patient self-reports of pain intensity and distress Describe the behaviors exhibited by patients during a procedure, comparing the behaviors exhibited by those able versus unable to self-report pain intensity and pain distress Examine predictors of amount of pain intensity, behavioral responses, and analgesic use related to procedures such as gender, age, language spoken, country, and type of hospital. Validated pain intensity, pain distress, and behavioral observation instruments will be methodically translated into the predominant languages spoken in our international study sites; research and training packets similar to those developed in a large, multisite study in the United States will be developed and provided to data collection sites; and data collection will occur over a 6-month period of time. Study data will be analyzed and disseminated at international meetings and in publications.

The aim of the study is: To evaluate the efficacy of the reduction of visual and auditory stimuli on pain during venipuncture in premature newborns of 32-36 weeks of gestation.

Demonstrate the effectiveness of the Virtual Reality (VR) distraction on pain reduction in children and adolescents in onco-hematology unit compared to standard practice. Evaluate the impact of VR on the level of anxiety induced by invasive procedures Report traceability of assessment of pain and anxiety scores, and reproducibility of procedural analgesia techniques. Evaluate the impact of VR on the short-term consequences of procedural pain, especially in terms of phobia of care.

Taking into account the unavoidable effect of a major oncologic surgery commonly required for colorectal cancer patients and the recognized psychological and functional sequelae of the surgical treatment on their status, we will evaluate the influence of a psychological intervention, known as acceptance-based intervention, offered to those patients at the preoperative setting. Reduction of anxiety and assessmemt of indices of post-intervention psychological and functional recovery will be the primary goals of the study.

Persistent postoperative pain occurs up to 25 to 60 % after mastectomy. This occurs at a higher frequency than the rate of invasive surgery.Therefore, many ways have been tried to study risk factors. A study was conducted to predict postoperative pain for items (preoperative pain, sensitivity, pain prediction). As a result, it was reported that the scope of surgery, pre-operative pain, young age, and depression were associated with persistent pain. This study try to find out whether persistent pain after mastectomy is affected anesthetic factors appropriate anesthesia depth and opioid using standardized monitoring devices limited to similar surgical ranges.

This study aims to assess self reported procedural pain compared with background pain and evaluate pain intensity differences across six standard procedures. Besides, rescue and preventive treatments used to control procedural pain will be examined.
