Summary

The 3 non-pharmacological methods of online gaming, cold application, and placebo were chosen to reduce postoperative pain in children undergoing orthopedic and traumatology surgery. The effect of these 3 non-pharmacological methods on pain reduction was measured and compared.

Conditions

  • Orthopedic Disorder
  • Post Operative Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Group to play online games

Playing games in children is one of the non-pharmacological pain relief methods. In this study, the effect of playing an online game on pain level in children who underwent orthopedic surgery for pain management after the surgery was measured.

OTHER

Group that received cold application

Previous studies have demonstrated that cold application has anti-inflammatory, muscle spasm reducing, and pain relieving properties. In this study, the effect of cold application on pain level in children who underwent orthopedic surgery was investigated.

DRUG

Group that received placebo (PHYSIOLOGICAL SALINE ISOTONIC 9 mg/ml AMPULE)

The placebo effect has been demonstrated in various studies today. Some of these studies describe placebo analgesia. In this study, the placebo analgesic effect was investigated, and the child and parent were told that an analgesic was applied, but instead 2 cc of PF 0.9% ISOTONIC SODIUM CHLORIDE solution was intravenously administered.

OTHER

Group that played an online game and received cold application at the same time

To investigate the combined effect of online gaming and cold application as two separate non-pharmacological interventions, both interventions were applied together in this group
