ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating whether two natural oils, Nigella sativa oil (black seed oil) and sesame oil, can help prevent phlebitis, which is inflammation of the veins often caused by intravenous (IV) treatments. Phlebitis can lead to pain, swelling, and redness at the site of the IV, especially when certain medications, like amiodarone, are given through the catheter. The study aims to find out if applying these oils can reduce the chances of developing phlebitis in patients receiving IV amiodarone.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old, currently receiving IV amiodarone, and have a specific type of IV catheter placed in your arm. Participants should be able to understand Turkish and agree to take part voluntarily. However, you won't be eligible if you already have phlebitis, certain allergies, or other medical conditions that could complicate the study. If you join, you can expect to apply one of the oils and help researchers determine if these oils can make IV treatments safer and more comfortable for patients.
