Study aim
-
Determining the effect of multimodal sensory stimulation on arterial blood oxygen, heart rate, blood pressure and level of consciousness in concussion patients
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, randomized, phase 2, on 64 patients, was used to randomize the block method using two red and white balls.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This research is carried out in the special care departments of hospitals in Zahedan city and the intervention consists of a regular and periodic program of sensory stimulation for 6 days, each session lasting a maximum of 30 minutes in two shifts, in the morning and in the evening, which is carried out by the researcher. The main and assistant of the researcher and the patient's family are done, and the arterial blood oxygen level, heart rate, blood pressure and level of consciousness of the patient are measured before and after each intervention in the intervention group and in the control group with similar intervals.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Be admitted to the ward with a diagnosis of concussion; Do not have a history of sensory disorders in the upper limbs; Be in the range of 65 to 11 years; Consciousness level should be in the range of 8 to 10 (according to the Glasgow Coma Scale).
-
Intervention groups
-
The intervention in the intervention group includes a regular and periodic program of sensory stimulations including the presentation of different sensory stimulations (auditory, visual, olfactory, tactile and kinetic) according to a program for the patient, and no intervention takes place in the control group.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Arterial blood oxygen level; Heartbeat; Blood pressure and level of consciousness
