About this study

Official title: The Effect of Neuro Linguistic Programming on Pain Levels After Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study was conducted to determine the effect of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) application on post-cesarean section pain levels.

Read the detailed description

The study was carried out between March 1 and June 1, 2021 with mothers who gave birth through cesarean section in the postpartum service of a maternity and children's hospital in the most populated city of Turkey, which is located in the west. The study data consists of a total of 76 individuals, including 38 in the experimental group and 38 in the control group. In the study, the effect size was calculated as 2.22. Accordingly, the power of the study, which was completed with 38 individuals in the control group and 38 in experimental group, had an effect size of 2.22, and used a significance level of 0.05, was calculated as 99.9%. The power analysis was conducted on the G*Power software package.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP)Behavioural

    ● One session (20-minute long) of NLP application was performed. The NLP techniques that were employed were representational systems and submodality. In this technique, the sensory, auditory, and kinesthetic feelings of the individual are learned. These emotions are modified by imagining. The NLP application was carried out by a researcher who has a certificate in this field

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Examination of inter-and intra-group differences regarding VAS Scores

    A mean total score on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). In this assessment, users score their pain from 0 to 10. The scores are interpreted as follows: "0", no pain at all; 1-4, mild pain; 5-6, moderate pain; and 7-10, severe pain.

    A mean total score on the VAS of four and above indicates postoperative pain.

    Measured: Immediately after the completion of the NLP application

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Distribution of participant characteristics by groups

    The effect of NLP application on post-operative pain in women who gave birth by cesarean section is examined. Comparisons are made by using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) mean scores in the experimental and control groups.

    Measured: 20 minutes after the first administration of the VAS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) in people with Nursing Caries and Pain, Postoperative, run by Munzur University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Examination of inter-and intra-group differences regarding VAS Scores (time frame: Immediately after the completion of the NLP application). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Sep 2021.
