Therefore, it is important to find an approach to improve the management of postoperative agitation and to reduce its duration and severity. The medical device \"PARO\" is a robotic seal that enables patient-robot-interaction. Patients respond to the device through verbal communication and motor responses, as well as facial expressions and gestures. The seal detects human interaction through audiovisual recognition, tactile sensors, and the integration of artificial intelligence. The aim of the study is to observe the use of \"PARO\" in patients undergoing elective visceral surgery and to analyze the occurence of agitation.\n\nA decrease in the incidence of postoperative agitation is to be expected in a cohort of patients undergoing visceral surgery who use PARO compared to a group of patients undergoing visceral surgery who do not use PARO.\n\nTo monitor the occurrence of postoperative agitation, a standardized screening will be conducted twice daily for three days using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS). To assess postoperative pain, anxiety and delirium, the Numerical Pain Scale (NRS), the State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory (STAI) and a delirium screening tool (3D-CAM\u002FCAM-ICU) are used by a trained study team. The occurrence of other neuropsychiatric symptoms and postoperative surgical complications will also be assessed.\n\nAdditionally, the interaction between PARO and the patients is analyzed regarding movements, reactions to haptic and auditory stimuli, and the frequency of interaction. Our approach involves quantitatively monitoring these metrics to collect sensor data from the robot and video recordings of the patients to identify facial expression and posture patterns. The use and acceptance of the robot on clinical wards by various professional groups are evaluated. The focus is particularly on nursing staff, who have the most interactions with patients. The project is complemented by a hygiene study examining how successfully the hygiene protocol is integrated into clinical routines and what challenges the use of PARO poses in an intensive care unit. The aim is also to examine the workflow and time-related aspects of its usage. The study will be submitted as a clinical trial of the medical device within its intended use, without any additional invasive or burdensome procedures, in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of the Medical Practitioners Act (MBO).",[64,65,32,66],"Agitation","POSTOPERATIVE DELIRIUM AND POSTOPERATIVE COGNITIVE DECLINE","Postoperative Pain",[68],"Agitation, postoperative Delirium, Anxiety","2026-04-28",{"date":71,"type":43},"2026-05-05",{"date":73,"type":43},"2025-12-15",{"date":75,"type":21},"2027-05",{"name":77,"class":49},"Hannover Medical School",1,{"id":80,"slug":81,"hasResults":11,"nctId":82,"briefTitle":83,"officialTitle":84,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":85,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":58,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":86,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":88,"briefSummary":89,"conditions":90,"keywords":91,"overallStatus":39,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":95,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":96,"startDateStruct":98,"completionDateStruct":100,"leadSponsor":102,"locationsCount":78},"100595002","using-mindfulness-in-an-enhanced-recovery-after-surgery-protocol-to-support-recovery-after-colorectal-surgery-100595002","NCT07026786","Using Mindfulness in an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol to Support Recovery After Colorectal Surgery","Using Mindfulness in an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol to Support Recovery After Colorectal Surgery: A Single Center RCT Feasibility Study","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients scheduled for a bowel resection and enrolled in the UH Institutional ERAS pathway\n* Patients will be admitted to the inpatient hospital for at least one day postoperatively\n* Aged 18 or older\n* Receiving surgery at designated University Hospitals locations (Cleveland Medical Center, Ahuja, St. John's Medical Center)\n* English-speaking\n* Access to the internet via phone, laptop, or iPad\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Surgery for palliative purposes only\n* Surgery for ostomy take-down only\n* Discharged on day of surgery\n* History of substance use disorder\n* Allergy or intolerance to all opioids\n* Insufficient English proficiency\n* No access to the internet outside clinical settings\n* Significant visual, hearing or cognitive impairment",{"count":87,"type":21},50,[24],"This study teaches participants who are having colorectal surgery how to use mindfulness to feel calmer and manage pain better.

Patients often experience intense pain, anxiety, and uncertainty as they are rushed to hospital, undergo emergency treatment, and prepare for surgery. After surgery, many continue to struggle with pain and rely on opioid medications, which carry serious risks including addiction. In the context of our current opioid epidemic, it's critical that alternative treatment strategies are urgently evaluated.\n\nMindfulness is a practice that helps people focus on the present and has been shown to reduce stress and pain in other settings. In this trial, patients with broken arms or legs who need surgery at Hamilton General Hospital will be randomly assigned to one of two groups who will listen to a two-part, audio recording before and after surgery. Those in the interventional group will engage in a 7-minute audio-guided mindfulness exercise before surgery to help reduce anxiety, and another 7-minute audio-guided mindfulness exercise after surgery to help manage pain. Those in the control group will listen to a 7-minute educational audio recording before surgery and again after surgery.\n\nThe main goal is to see if this approach is practical-can enough patients be recruited, and will they complete the audio recordings? The study will also look at early signs of whether the intervention helps reduce pain, anxiety, and opioid use six weeks after surgery. If feasible, a larger study can be conducted to determine if these exercises can help patients manage pain and reduce their need for opioids after surgery.\n\nIf successful, this simple, low-cost approach could be widely used in hospitals to support recovery and reduce reliance on pain medications.",[116,117,118,119,120,121,32,122,123],"Orthopaedic Fractures","Orthopaedic Trauma Fractures and Non-unions","Orthopaedic Trauma","Orthopaedic Surgery","Orthopaedic Related Pain (Musculoskeletal Pain)","Anxiety Acute","Opioid Use","Opioid Use After Surgery",[125,126,127,128,129,130],"fractures","mindfulness","pain management","fracture surgery","opioid use","anxiety","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-04-06",{"date":95,"type":43},{"date":40,"type":21},{"date":46,"type":21},{"name":137,"class":49},"McMaster University",{"id":139,"slug":140,"hasResults":11,"nctId":141,"briefTitle":142,"officialTitle":143,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":144,"healthyVolunteers":145,"sex":58,"minAge":146,"maxAge":147,"enrollmentInfo":148,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":150,"briefSummary":151,"conditions":152,"keywords":159,"overallStatus":39,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":162,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":163,"startDateStruct":165,"completionDateStruct":167,"leadSponsor":169,"locationsCount":78},"100610681","the-study-evaluates-the-effect-of-an-interactive-projector-as-a-distraction-for-children-during-anesthetic-induction-the-primary-objective-is-to-reduce-perioperative-anxiety-measured-with-the-modified-yale-preoperative-anxiety-scale-mypas-100610681","NCT07230743","The Study Evaluates the Effect of an Interactive Projector as a Distraction for Children During Anesthetic Induction.
