Postoperative Tizanidine Use in Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery: A Pilot Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether adding tizanidine to the standard postoperative pain regimen improves recovery after pelvic reconstructive surgery in adult women. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does postoperative tizanidine improve patient-reported recovery 4-6 weeks after surgery? Does tizanidine reduce postoperative pain, opioid use, constipation, and healthcare utilization while improving functional recovery? Researchers will compare standard postoperative care plus tizanidine with standard postoperative care alone to determine whether tizanidine improves postoperative recovery. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to receive either standard postoperative pain management alone or standard postoperative pain management plus tizanidine for 2 weeks after surgery. * Complete electronic surveys before surgery, 1-2 days after surgery, 2 weeks after surgery, and 4-6 weeks after surgery to assess pain, recovery, activity, and bowel function. * Allow researchers to review information from their electronic medical record, including healthcare utilization and postoperative outcomes, during the 4-6 weeks following surgery.

Effectiveness of Virtual Reality in Reducing Anxiety and Pain During the First Postoperative Orthopedic Dressing Change in Pediatric Patients

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn whether immersive virtual reality can reduce anxiety and pain in children and adolescents undergoing postoperative orthopedic dressing changes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does immersive virtual reality reduce anxiety during postoperative dressing changes compared with standard care? Does immersive virtual reality reduce pain and physiological signs of distress, such as changes in heart rate and respiratory rate? Researchers will compare participants who use an immersive virtual reality headset during the dressing change with participants who receive standard care without virtual reality. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to the virtual reality group or the standard care group Undergo a postoperative orthopedic dressing change with or without immersive virtual reality Report their anxiety and pain before and after the procedure Have their heart rate and respiratory rate measured before, during, and after the dressing change

Comparing Use of Incentive Spirometry With and Without Reminder

This study is designed to determine if patients using an incentive spirometer with visual and auditory signals will increase their use of the incentive spirometer and prevent lung complications.
