Breathing Exercise

Venipuncture is one of the most common invasive procedures in children and is often associated with significant pain, fear, and anxiety.This randomized controlled study will aim to evaluate the effects of a video game-based breathing exercise intervention on pain, fear, and anxiety levels in children aged 7-12 years undergoing routine venipuncture. While the intervention group will receive a video game-based breathing exercise using the BREATHING+ system in addition to standard care, the control group will receive routine venipuncture procedures only. The study population will consist of children aged 7-12 years who meet the inclusion criteria and whose parents/legal guardians provide informed consent. Participants will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Pain, fear, and anxiety levels will be assessed at three time points: before the procedure, during the procedure, and immediately after the procedure. Data will be collected using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Children's Anxiety Scale-State (CAS-S), and Children's Fear Scale (CFS), along with a structured questionnaire form. All assessments will be conducted at the predefined time points.

This randomized controlled trial study aimed to measure the effectiveness of the combination of 4-weeks Buteyko breathing exercises and pharmacological therapy compared with pharmacological therapy alone in children with uncontrolled asthma.

This study was planned as a randomized controlled clinical trial to determine the effect of 4-7-8 breathing technique on shoulder pain and pulmonary function tests after laporoscopic cholecystectomy. A sample of 96 patients will be randomly assigned to the study and control groups. The study group will be administered the 4-7-8 breathing technique after LK, while the control group will be given routine care of the ward. Shoulder pain and pulmonary function tests will be measured in the first 24 hours and at discharge. The data obtained will be analyzed by appropriate statistical methods.
