ABSTRACT Objective:  To investigate the influence of two different activation protocols on the timing and intensity of pain during rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Materials and Methods:  A total of 112 prepubertal patients (54 males and 58 females, mean age 11.00 ± 1.80 years) with constricted maxillary arches underwent RME with two different activation protocols (group 1: one activation/day; group 2: two activations/day). Patients were provided with a numeric rating scale (NRS) and the Faces Pain Scale (FPS) to correctly assess their daily pain. Results:  Subjects treated with RME at two activations/day reported statistically significantly greater amounts of pain than subjects treated with RME at one activation/day. Differences related to gender and skeletal maturity were found. Conclusion:  The choice of activation protocol influences the perceived pain during RME, and less daily expansion is correlated to less pain. Pain reported during RME could be influenced by skeletal maturity and gender of the subjects under treatment.

Post-operative pain is acute and subjective therefore the perceived pain intensity will be different. In one of the western Indonesia Hospitals in measuring the pain threshold using 2 tools namely Numeric Rating Scale and Wong Baker Face. Measurement of the pain intensity can be done with NRS and VAS scale. The objective of this research was to identify the difference of pain scale using the NRS and VAS scale in post-operative patients. The research method was descriptive quantitative using comparative approach. The study was conducted on 1 November 2017 – 12 December 2017.The population of the study are the post-operative patients at the In-Patient wards in a private hospital in Western Part of Indonesia. The samples were obtained using purposive sampling with n = 41. Research instrument consists of observation sheet using NRS and VAS scale. The results showed most respondents during the first eight hours using NRS scale had mild pain (80.5%); first 16 hours had light pain (63.4%); and had mild pain in the first 24 hours (85.4%). Using VAS scale, most of the respondents on the first eight hours has mild pain (87.8%); first 16 hours has mild pain (68.3%); and has mild pain in the first 24 hours (87.8%). The conclusion of this study is there is no difference in pain scale of post-operative patients using VAS scale and NRS scale. So, hospitals can also use the VAS scale to assess pain scale in post-operative patients.

Objectives. To investigate pain trends and characteristics of different facial districts in patients undergoing rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and its possible correlations with age and gender. Materials and Methods. 85 subjects (45 males and 40 females) undergoing RME were selected and analyzed during first two weeks of treatment. Patients rated daily two types of pain perception: the general perceived pain (GPP), i.e., the pain overall perceived in the face, and the local perceived pain (LPP), i.e., the pain perceived locally in the following anatomical areas: anterior palate (APA), posterior palate (PPA), nasal (NA), joint (JA), and zygomatic (ZA). Patients were provided the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Wong–Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (FPS) to correctly assess their GPP and LPP. Pearson correlation coefficient and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were, respectively, used to define the linear relationship between all the variables considered and to verify whether the response variables (gender and age) were significantly different (α < 0.05). Results. Sample’s mean age was 10.11 years. Average pain values of GPP and LPP progressively rise from day 1 to days 2-3 (pain peak) and tended to decrease until day 14, with a linear decrease for GPP and a not linear decrease for LPP. PPA and APA resulted the most painful areas, followed, respectively, by JA, ZA, and NA. Statistically significant differences resulted in average pain values according to patients’ age and gender, both in GPP and LPP. Conclusion. RME causes perception of pain in several maxillofacial areas. Pain reported during RME resulted positively correlated with age and gender of patients.

IntroductionSpinal cord stimulation is frequently used for the treatment of intractable chronic pain conditions. Trialing of the spinal cord stimulator device is recommended to assess the patient’s response to neurostimulation before permanent implantation. The trial response is often assessed by Numeric Rating Scale changes and patient-reported percentage pain improvement. Using number rating scale changes between prespinal and postspinal cord stimulation trial, a calculated percentage pain improvement can be obtained. The aim of this study was to assess the difference between calculated and patient-reported percentage improvement in pain scale during spinal cord stimulation trials.MethodsThis study was a retrospective single center review of all spinal cord stimulation trials from January 1 2017 to July 1 2019. A total of 174 patients were included. The paired t-test was used to compare numeric pain scores obtained prestimulation versus poststimulation. The mean difference between methods (patient-reported minus calculated) was compared with zero using the 1-sample t-test. Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient was computed with a 95% CI, calculated using Fisher z-transformation; and a bootstrapping approach was used to compare the concordance correlation coefficient between groups. In all cases, two-tailed tests were used with p<0.05 considered statistically significant.ResultsBased on prestimulation and poststimulation numeric rating scale scores, the mean±SD calculated percentage improvement in pain scale was 54±28. The mean±SD patient-reported percentage improvement in pain scale was 59±25. The overall 95% limits of agreement for the two methods are −30% to +41%. The overall concordance correlation coefficient was 0.76 (95% CI 0.69 to 0.81).ConclusionAlthough the two methods are highly correlated, there is substantial lack of agreement between patient-reported and calculated percentage improvement in pain scale, suggesting that these measures should not be used interchangeably for spinal cord stimulator trial outcome assessment. This emphasizes the need for improved metrics to better measure patient response to neuromodulation therapies. Additionally, patient-reported percentage improvement in pain was found to be higher than calculated percentage improvement in pain, potentially highlighting the multidimensional experience of pain and the unpredictability of solely using Numeric Rating Scale scores to assess patient outcomes.

ObjectiveSubcutaneous local anaesthetic injection can be painful to patients in the ED. We evaluated the effect of cryotherapy by application of an ice cube to the injection site prior to injection in patients with simple lacerations.MethodsWe conducted a prospective, randomised, controlled trial in consented patients with simple lacerations needing primary repair at a single emergency centre from April to July 2016. We randomly assigned patients undergoing repair for simple lacerations to either the cryotherapy group or the control group (standard care; no cryotherapy or other pretreatment of the injection site). In cryotherapy group subjects, we applied an ice cube (size: 1.5×1.5×1.5 cm) placed inside a sterile glove on the wound at the anticipated subcutaneous lidocaine injection site for 2 min prior to injection. The primary outcome was a subjective numeric rating (0–10 scale) of the perceived pain from the subcutaneous local anaesthetic injections. Secondary outcomes were (a) perceived pain on a numeric scale for cryotherapy itself, that is, pain from contact of the ice cube/glove with the skin and (b) the rate of complications after primary laceration repair.ResultsFifty patients were enrolled, consented and randomised, with 25 in the cryotherapy group and 25 in the control group. The numeric rating scale for subcutaneous anaesthetic injections was median, IQR, 95% CI 2.0 (1 to 3.5), 1.81 to 3.47, respectively, in the cryotherapy group and 5.0 (3 to 7), 3.91 to 6.05 in the control group (Mann-Whitney U=147.50, p=0.001). No wound complications occurred in either group. The numeric rating scale for cryotherapy itself was median, IQR, 95% CI: 2.0 (1 to 3.5), 1.90 to 3.70.ConclusionPre-emptive topical injection site cryotherapy lasting 2 min before subcutaneous local anaesthetic injections can significantly reduce perceived pain from subcutaneous local anaesthetic injections in patients presenting for simple laceration repair.Trial registration numberKCT0001990.

Nyeri didefinisikan sebagai pengalaman sensorik dan emosional yang tidak menyenangkan terkait dengan kerusakan jaringan aktual atau potensial. Manajemen nyeri pada luka bakar merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari terapi luka bakar. Nyeri pada luka bakar merupakan nyeri akut, penanganan yang tidak baik akan menyebabkan komplikasi, salah satunya nyeri kronik. Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat (RSUP) Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung telah membuat Standar Prosedur Operasional (SPO) manajemen nyeri yang berguna untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan dalam pelaksanaan manajemen nyeri. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kesesuaian teknik pengkajian, tindak lanjut dan evaluasi ulang nyeri pada pasien luka bakar dengan SPO manajemen nyeri. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif observasional retrospektif terhadap 99 rekam medis pasien luka bakar yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung pada tahun 2018. Hasil penelitian didapatkankan bahwa pengkajian nyeri yang dilakukan sesuai dengan SPO menggunakan numeric rating scale atau Wong Baker faces pain scale ditemukan pada 99 pasien (100%). Tindak lanjut hasil pengkajian nyeri luka bakar yang dilakukan sesuai dengan SPO sebanyak 71 pasien (72%). Evaluasi ulang setelah tindak lanjut pengkajian nyeri yang sesuai SPO pada 93 pasien (94%). Simpulan, pengkajian nyeri di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung sudah sesuai dengan SPO manajemen nyeri, namun tindak lanjut dan evaluasi ulang pada nyeri luka bakar belum sesuai dengan SPO manajemen nyeri.Evaluation of Compliance to Standard Operating Procedures for Pain Management in Patients with Burns in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital BandungPain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience related to actual or potential tissue damage. Pain management for burns is an integral part of burn therapy. Pain in burns is an acute pain and poor management will lead to health complications including chronic pain. Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung has made a standard operating procedure (SOP) for pain management to improve compliance to pain management standard. This study aimed to evaluate the compliance to the standards in assessment techniques, follow-up, and re-evaluation of pain in patients with burn according to the applicable pain management SOP. This was a retrospective descriptive observational study on 99 medical records of burn patients who met the inclusion criteria in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in 2018. The results of the study revealed that the pain assessment for these patient was carried out according to the SOP which refers to the use of a numeric rating scale or Wong Baker face pain scale in 99 patients (100%). In the follow-up, 71 were performed according to the SOP (72%) while the re-evaluation was performed in compliance with the SOP in 93 patients (94%). In conclusion, pain assessment in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung is performed in accordance with SOP on pain management but not all patients receive follow-up and re-evaluation of burn pain in accordance with the SOP on pain management.

AbstractBack pain is a problem commonly experienced by pregnant women in the third trimester. One of the effective ways to reduce that pain is pregnancy exercise. This scientific writing aims to describe the implementation of pregnancy exercise to pregnant women who experience back pain based on a literature review. The review was done to three articles from similar journal, which were published during 2018 – 2020. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was used as the instrument. From 39 pregnant women who participated, 97.4% of them were 20-35 years old and 69.2% were fulltime housewives. The result showed that average value of the pain scale before the intervention was 5.42, and after the intervention was 2.70. The conclution of this literature review was that the implementation of pregnancy exercise was effective in reducing the intensity of back pain in pregnancy. Hence, health workers are supposed to encourage pregnant women to do pregnancy exercise, especially in the third trimester.Keywords: Keywords: Pregnancy; Back Pain, Pregnancy Exercise AbstrakKetidaknyamanan nyeri punggung umum dialami oleh ibu hamil Trimester III.

ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate and compare the intensity of pain caused by rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with two expanders: Hyrax and Haas type, in growing patients. Materials and Methods Thirty-nine patients (23 girls and 16 boys) with an average age of 9.3 years (SD = 1.39 years) were randomized into two groups and treated with Hyrax- and Haas-type expanders. In both groups, initial activation of the expander screw was one full turn on the first day followed by 2/4 of a turn two times a day (morning and night) for 7 days. Inclusion criteria were patients presenting with a posterior crossbite or maxillary atresia between 7 and 12 years old. To evaluate the intensity of pain during the active phase of the treatment, a combination of the Numerical Rating Scale and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale was used. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the two treatment groups. Results There was significant inverse correlation between days following insertion and pain. During the expansion period, 100% of the children reported some pain. Hyrax expander subjects reported greater pain than those treated with the Haas-type expander only on the first day. The level of pain remained greater in girls throughout treatment. Conclusions Pain was reported regardless of the type of expander and was higher in the Hyrax group only on the first day of activation.
