There are about 14639 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Turkey. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
No study was found that investigated the effect of vibration therapy (VT) on recovery from exercise in WCB players. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of wearable local vibration device on muscle soreness and athletic performance during recovery from exercise in the elbow area in WCB players.
Considering the lack of data in the literature concerning the success of Er,Cr:YSGG laser in pulpotomy treatment of primary teeth, the present study aimed to compare this laser system with two different chemical hemostatic agents regarding its clinical and radiographic success.
Aim: This clinical study aims to compare post-operative pain after single-visit root canal treatment of teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis using epoxy-resin based AH Plus and calcium silicate based Endosequence BC sealers with or without sonic activation. Materials and Methods: The study included 72 individuals having one first or second mandibular premolar tooth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. They were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the root canal sealer (AH Plus or Endosequence BC) and activation protocol (sonic activation or non-activation) (n=18). Participants were ask to rate their post-operative pain intensity on a NRS scale as none, minimal, moderate, or severe after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 days following treatment. Patients were also asked to record the number of prescribed analgesic medication tablets (ibuprofen 400 mg) taken. The collected data were statistically analyzed at 0.05 significance level.
This randomized controlled study evaluate the effect of mindfulness-based structured nursing interventions on the mental health parameters of risky pregnant women. The hypothesis of this study is that mindfulness-based structured nursing interventions has an effect of the state-trait anxiety, perceived stress, depression on high risk pregnant women.
Aim: Postoperative ileus after cesarean section is a problem that significantly prolongs hospital stay and increases perioperative costs. The ability of postoperative fennel tea consumption to produce bowel movement is unclear and needs to be studied. This study aimed to determine the effect of chewing gum and drinking fennel tea on intestinal motility after cesarean section. Methods: The study was conducted in postnatal care wards between January 2018 and April 2018. Simple randomization was used to assign women to the study arms. Data were collected during Pregnancy Constipation Diagnostic Scale, Data Collection and Follow-up Form were collected.
This study examined the impact of a gluten-free diet on nutritional status and inflammation markers in adult celiac patients compared to a control group. Twenty-six celiac patients and 26 healthy individuals participated. Interviews, dietary records, anthropometric measurements, and blood samples were collected. After six weeks, celiac patients showed improved adherence to the gluten-free diet and increased quality of life scores. While initial micronutrient intake was lower in celiac patients, it improved over the study period. However, there were no significant changes in inflammation markers.
The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of different IMT protocols on respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, quadriceps femoris muscle strength (QMS), handgrip muscle strength (HGS), QoL, respiratory function, dyspnoea, fatigue, balance, and PA levels in patients with CKD that were not on dialysis.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the education given to nursing students with the Jigsaw technique and traditional method on their knowledge and attitudes about childhood epileptic seizure management.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the balance and dual-task activities of Kinetic Brain Exercises in healthy elderly individuals living in nursing homes.
In this study, it was aimed to compare the impressions taken with different impression techniques for the production of tissue-supported complete dentures from individuals with complete edentulous upper jaws. For this purpose, 15 individuals with complete edentulism in the upper jaw were asked to participate in the study. In addition to agreeing to participate in the study after reading the consent form, these individuals should have been using tissue-supported complete dentures in the upper jaw for at least 3 months. They should also have healthy mucosa without local factors such as tissue hyperplasia, atrophic crests, allergic reaction, epulis fissuratum. A total of five final impressions will then be taken from these individuals in two sessions. Two of these impressions will be obtained with the traditional method and three with the digital method. The traditional impression group will include one-step (ALG) and two-step (ZOE) impression techniques. The digital impression group will include the digital impression taken when the artificial intelligence is deactivated (A.I OFF), the digital impression taken when the artificial intelligence is activated (A.I ON) and the modified technique (MOD). In the first appointment, the first impressions will be taken for the traditional and digital groups. Intraoral exclusion and isolation will be provided before the digital first impression. With the A.I mode of the intraoral scanner (TRIOS4; 3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark) deactivated, scanning will be performed in accordance with the scanning protocol recommended by the company. A metal stock tray suitable for the dental arch will then be selected for the preliminary impression of the traditional impression group. The impression will be taken in one step with irreversible hydrocolloid impression material. The impression will be digitized with the same intraoral scanner within the first 10 minutes after impression taking. Both impressions will be digitally transferred to the dental laboratory as stl data. Using computer aided design (CAD) software (Exocad DentalCAD 2.4 Plovdiv), an individual tray will be designed for the ZOE impression in the traditional group and a pedestal for the MOD impression in the digital impression group. The designs will be transferred to the computer aided manufacturing (CAM) unit and produced with a 3D printer using dental resin. The occlusal-rim (OR) will be prepared by adding wax on the base. In the second appointment, the cheek and lips will be excluded in the same way before scanning. For A.I OFF and A.I ON, recordings will be taken when the artificial intelligence is deactivated and activated, respectively. Then, occlusal vertical dimension, intermaxillary relationship and aesthetic parameters will be determined with OR before scanning for the MOD group. Reference areas will be created on the buccal and palatinal walls to facilitate scanning of the OR. To avoid retention problems during scanning, a silicone-based impression material with a fluid consistency will be applied to the tissue surface of the OR and placed in the mouth. Scanning will be performed according to the protocol proposed by Lo Russo et al. For the traditional impression group, the ALG impression will be taken with a metal stock tray using irreversible hydrocolloid impression material in a single step. The impression will be digitized with an intraoral scanner within ten minutes of completion. Then, the edges of the individual tray for ZOE will be shaped with impression compound to ensure peripheral closure. The impression will be completed with zinc-oxide eugenol impression material. The impression will be digitized. These measurements will then be compared using a reverse-engineering program (Geomagic design X version 2016.1.0, 3D Systems Inc. Rock Hill, SC). Before the comparison, in the same program, the parts to be evaluated on the ZOE in the conventional group and A.I OFF in the digital group will be divided into regions. These areas will be divided into four sections as right and left vestibular region, postdam area, hard palate region, except for the A.I OFF-MOD comparison group. In the A.I OFF-MOD comparison group, it will include the right and left initial areas, including the areas where scanning starts in the second scan of the MOD method. In addition, all measurements will be compared in terms of the whole surface and all measurement boundaries including the whole measurement surface as one. The comparison groups are ZOE-ALG, ZOE-A.I OFF, A.I OFF-A.I ON, A.I OFF-MOD. The measurements in the comparison groups will be overlapped first with the initial alignment and then with the best fit alignment algorithm. All sections will be evaluated individually with the "3D compare" feature and the amount of deviation in the areas to be evaluated will be determined.
