Objectives Constipation is a predominant gastrointestinal problem after the onset of stroke, which may increase intracranial pressure. Treatment of constipation includes using laxatives and fibers, which is associated with complications and limitations. Regarding the effect of probiotics to treat digestive problems, the current study aimed at investigating the effect of probiotics on constipation in the patients with stroke admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU).Methods The current randomized clinical trial was conducted on 65 patients with stroke. Patients with nasal-gastric tube and absence of rejection in 3 consecutive days were enrolled to the study. They were randomly divided into 2 groups of intervention (n=33) and control (n=32); the frequency of their bowel movements were measured before the study. Subjects in the intervention group received a probiotic supplement every 12 hours; however, the ones in the control group received the only routine conventional treatment for a week. After a week, all subjects were assessed for the improvement of constipation. Data were analyzed by SAS software version 9.1 using Poisson regression model. Results In the intervention group, the mean number of bowel movements was more than once a day, 1.22, and in the control group it was 0.62 (P<0.0001).Conclusion The current study showed that probiotic supplement consumption increased the frequency of constipation in patients with stroke. Therefore, probiotics can be used to treat constipation in such patients.

Background: Pain after appendectomy surgery is the most common patients' dissatisfaction which the easiest method of treatment is opioids. Side effects of them led to using more appropriate medications instead of opioids to relieve the pain. Aim of This study was to compare the pain relief effects of morphine and promethazine in patients with appendectomy. Materials and Methods : This triple blind clinical trial was carried out on 60 patients in 49 -15 years old undergoing appendectomy in Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Sabzevar, Iran, 1391.Participants were selected using by convenience method and then randomly divided into two groups of 30 ones. The control and intervention group was injected narcotic and promethazine, respectively. The level of pain was investigated according to the standard numeric pain scale, in the first hour after treatment. Data was analyzed using the Pearson and chi-square test by means of SPSS version 18 in the level of significance of 0.05. Results: there was observed a significant difference between two groups in the level of postoperative pain relief, (P = 0/000), so that the level of pain after injection of promethazine 3/30 ± (1/33) was less than morphine 6/07± (1/23). Also, this difference was significant in half an hour after surgery (p = 0/000) with mean score of 3/69 ± (1/33) and 6/74± (1/30) for Promethazine and morphine, respectively. Conclusion: According to these results, basic planning to use phenothiszines such as promethazine instead of opioids is suggested.

Background and Purpose: While washing and dressing burn injuries, patients suffer from the acute pain. Therefor finding complementary methods with no side effects is an important issue. Thus this study was aimed at investigating the effect of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) in pain controlling while washing and dressing burn injuries. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 60 patients with burn injuries among those referred to Sabzevar Vasee Hospital in 2014 were studied. The patients were divided into three groups (each group 20 patients) including control group (no treatment), case group (received morphine before dressing) and placebo group (received both morphine and TENS before dressing). At the end patients were asked to scale the amount of pain which they have experienced using pain numerical scale 0-10. The Data were analyzed using Friedman,Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-wallis tests and SPSS software (18th version). Note that P value was utilized at significant level 0.05. Results: Thepain average in control group was obtained about 5.45±0.52, in case group 5.00±0.48 and in placebo group 7.00±0.56. Thus a significant difference between three groups was obtained. (P=0.00). Conclusion: Results showed using both TENS and morphine before washing and dressing burn injuries is effective to reduce the pain

Background and Purpose: Appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdomen in the world, and like other surgical procedures, the postoperative pain is one of the most common problems. Nowadays people tend to use non-drug methods and alternative medicine for reducing the effects of drug side effects. Reflexology is one of these treatments which can reduce pain and stress by applying pressure on a specialized area of the hands, feet and ears. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Reflexology massage on pain relief after appendectomy surgery.
Materials and Methods: This critical trial study has performed in the emergency department of the Imam Reza Hospital, in Mashhad in 1392. Pain level and analgesic intake of 105 patients were compared in three groups before, immediately, one, six and 24 hours after treatment. In intervention group a specific area in the right leg and Shenman part of the ear was pressed for ten and one minute respectively. In the control group the pressure was applied on the back of left foot and right earlobe. Patients in the control group received only routine care. The results were evaluated at 95% confidence level. Data analysis was performed with SPSS 21 software.
The results: The difference of mean pain level at baseline was not statistically significant in the different groups (P=0/430), but after the reflexology message there was a significant difference between the amount of pain in intervention group compared with two other groups (P≤0/001).
Conclusion: Reflexology is an effective method for pain relief of patients after appendectomy surgery and it is recommended nurses to apply this method for reducing pain of these patients.
