Cold and vibration for children undergoing needle-related procedures: A non-inferiority randomized clinical trial.

The use of a rapid, easy-to-use intervention could improve needle-related procedural pain management practices in the context of the Emergency Department (ED). As such, the Buzzy device seems to be a promising alternative to topical anesthetics. The aim of this study was to determine if a cold vibrating device was non-inferior to a topical anesthetic cream for pain management in children undergoing needle-related procedures in the ED.

Virtual reality mobility for burn patients (VR-MOBILE): A within-subject-controlled trial protocol.

In the acute phase, burn patients undergo several painful procedures.

Methods: Children were randomized to a control (standard care) or intervention group (standard care + virtual reality).

Decreasing Pain and Fear in Medical Procedures with a Pediatric Population (DREAM): A Pilot Randomized Within-Subject Trial.

Background: Many children with injuries, including burns and fractures, experience moderate to severe pain during medical procedures. Recent studies claim that nonpharmacologic pain management using virtual reality (VR) could distract children from procedural pain by engaging multiple senses.

Aims: The aims of this pilot randomized clinical trial were to assess the acceptability and feasibility of VR distraction in children with burns or fractures undergoing painful medical procedures, as well as the staff nurses, and assess the preliminary efficacy of VR distraction on pain intensity, pain-related fear, and subsequent recall of both.

Immersive virtual reality vs. non-immersive distraction for pain management of children during bone pins and sutures removal: A randomized clinical trial protocol.

Methods: Study to take place in the orthopaedic department of three children hospital of the Montreal region starting in 2019.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of olfactive stimulation interventions to manage procedural pain in preterm and full-term neonates.

Background: Preterm and full-term neonates undergo many painful procedures during their hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit. Unrelieved and repeated pain can have important repercussions on their motor and intellectual development. Still, pain management interventions are limited for neonates.

Selection of studies, data extraction, and assessment of risk of bias and quality of evidence were independently performed by 2 reviewers.

External cold and vibration for pain management of children undergoing needle-related procedures in the emergency department: a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial protocol.

Introduction: Needle-related procedures are considered as the most important source of pain and distress in children in hospital settings. Considering the physiological and psychological consequences that could result from these procedures, management of pain and distress through pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods is essential. Therefore, it is important to have interventions that are rapid, easy-to-use and likely to be translated into clinical practice for routine use.

Efficacy of the Buzzy® device for pain management of children during needle-related procedures: a systematic review protocol.

Background: Needle-related procedures are the most important source of pain in children in hospital setting. Unmanaged pain could result in short- and long-term physiological, psychological, and emotional consequences. Although the efficacy of numerous interventions has been evaluated, procedural pain management is often suboptimal in children undergoing needle-related procedures.

Comparison of the psychometric properties of 3 pain scales used in the pediatric emergency department: Visual Analogue Scale, Faces Pain Scale-Revised, and Colour Analogue Scale.

Appropriate pain measurement relies on the use of valid, reliable tools. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the psychometric properties of 3 self-reported pain scales commonly used in the pediatric emergency department (ED). The inclusion criteria were children aged 6 to 17 years presenting to the ED with a musculoskeletal injury and self-reported pain scores ≥30 mm on the mechanical Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

Projector-based virtual reality dome environment for procedural pain and anxiety in young children with burn injuries: a pilot study.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) is a non-pharmacological method to distract from pain during painful procedures. However, it was never tested in young children with burn injuries undergoing wound care.

Aim: We aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the study process and the use of VR for procedural pain management.

Oral Analgesics Utilization for Children With Musculoskeletal Injury (OUCH Trial): An RCT.

Background: Musculoskeletal injuries (MSK-Is) are a common and painful condition among children that remains poorly treated in the emergency department (ED). We aimed to test the efficacy of a combination of an anti-inflammatory drug with an opioid for pain management of MSK-I in children presenting to the ED.

Methods: In this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, we enrolled children between 6 and 17 years presenting to the ED with an MSK-I and a pain score >29 mm on the visual analog scale (VAS).

Development of the Adolescent Cancer Suffering Scale.

Background: While mortality due to pediatric cancer has decreased, suffering has increased due to complex and lengthy treatments. Cancer in adolescence has repercussions on personal and physical development. Although suffering can impede recovery, there is no validated scale in French or English to measure suffering in adolescents with cancer.

Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder among battered women in Lebanon: an exploratory study.

Intimate partner violence against women is common in Lebanon and can lead to major health problems. However, the incidence of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in battered women has not been extensively explored in the Lebanese cultural context. The objectives of this study were as follows: (a) to determine the prevalence of PTSD symptoms among women in Lebanon who have been physically abused by their partners, (b) to assess whether the rate of PTSD symptoms varied according to sociodemographic variables, and (c) to reveal other attributes that might be risk factors for developing symptoms of PTSD.
