This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether an ICU-based preventive narrative exposure intervention can help prevent posttraumatic stress symptoms in adult patients after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The study will include adult patients who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and are admitted to the cardiac surgical intensive care …
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of two-tier virtual reality-based preoperative education on anxiety, learning knowledge, self-care ability, and cognitive load in patients undergoing urolithiasis surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to routine education, standard virtual reality education, or two-tier virtual reality education groups. Outcomes will be …
Auriculotherapy has demonstrated promising potential in the management of postoperative pain. Additionally, one study reported encouraging outcomes regarding the reduction of anxiety levels among patients in primary healthcare settings. Nevertheless, further high-quality research is required to substantiate these findings and to support the integration of auriculotherapy into standardized therapeutic protocols. …
Compared with traditional laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery offers advantages including minimal invasiveness, accelerated patient recovery, and reduced hospital stay. Although postoperative incision pain is generally less severe than that following laparotomy, it remains a notable clinical issue that impedes patient recovery. The majority of patients report incisional discomfort, with approximately 30% …
The goal of this study is to understand the role of glucagon signal on glucose metabolism in individuals with and without bariatric surgery. The study is involved with measuring glucose metabolism with glucagon infusion and glucagon receptor blockade. We use an investigational drug called REMD 477. "Investigational" means that the …
The intervention will be an educational handout provided to a randomized cohort of patients that reviews the benefits and risks of retaining ovaries vs removing them. This educational handout will be provided prior to the surgical consultation at the time of the initial survey.
The goal of this study is to evaluate if knee immobilization for 10 days following revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) improves knee joint range of motion at 3 months postoperatively compared to standard of care postoperative protocol. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will wear …
The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate if a higher radiation dose to the tumor can increase the organ preservation rate in non-locally advanced rectal cancer.
Hallux valgus is the most common forefoot deformity and primarily affects women. Surgical treatment involves an osteotomy of the first metatarsal to reduce the M1-M2 angle. Often, an osteotomy of the first phalanx of the big toe is performed in conjunction to reduce the M1-P1 angle. Once the deformity has …
Numerous studies have confirmed that regional analgesia using peripheral nerve block has great potential for perioperative analgesia in abdominal surgery. Ultrasound guided costal margin block (CMB) is a new regional anesthesia technique that has been proven to compensate for the analgesic effects of regional analgesia techniques such as transverse abdominal …
