There are about 15072 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.
In the study, easy-to-access and easy-to-use reflexologic magnetic insoles were used in women with primary dysmenorrhea who did not want to receive medical treatment; In addition to reducing symptoms such as pain, nausea, dizziness, fainting, vomiting, weakness, constipation/acute gastroenteritis, it is aimed to increase individuals' participation in daily life activities and increase their quality of life by increasing their emotional state.
The main purpose of dialysis used in the treatment of end-stage renal failure is; By relieving the patient from uremic symptoms, controlling excess fluid, electrolyte and acid base disorders, improving the well-being of the patients and also improving the quality of life of the patients. In addition to its contribution to the continuation of life, dialysis can significantly affect the biological and physiological balance and normal life order of patients. Some of these effects may be negative on patients. During this process, patients may frequently experience symptoms such as changes in fluid-electrolyte balance, increased fatigue, and weakness, as well as psychopathological conditions such as anxiety. In this context, it is extremely important to handle patients from a holistic perspective and keep their homeostatic balance under control during the hemodialysis process. In addition to pharmacological treatments, many integrative methods are used in the management of symptoms for reasons such as being low in cost, having fewer side effects than pharmacological treatments, and strengthening the immune system. Museum visit, one of these integrative treatment methods, has become an area of art therapy where help is received for various reasons such as coping with the symptoms of chronic diseases, reducing the side effects of medications, preventing mental depression, strengthening healthy behaviors, and avoiding tension and loss of control. In this context, the research was planned as a randomized controlled study investigating the effect of virtual museum tour on dialysis symptom index and anxiety in hemodialysis patients..T.R. The "https://sanalmuze.gov.tr" site belonging to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism will be shown to the patients five times and the virtual museum visit will be made by showing the patient's preferred museum five times among the 53 museums prepared by the General Directorate of Information Technologies of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Initiative Group, Control It will be compared with its group. Research data; It will be collected using the Patient Information Form, Dialysis Symptom Index and Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI). At the end of the study, the data will be evaluated in the SPSS program. The museum visit applied to the Intervention Group will also be applied to the control group after the study is completed, taking into account the ethical dimension.
Upper extremity hemiparesis is one of the most common symptoms after stroke. Robot-assisted therapies have been used as an approach to rehabilitation of upper extremity hemiplegia in recent years. Robot-assisted therapy is an approach to post-stroke rehabilitation that uses robotic devices to provide motor or task-oriented training to patients. When the literature is examined, there are studies showing that robot-assisted therapies are similar or superior to conventional methods. In order to provide the most effective rehabilitation approach in upper extremity robots, it is suggested that it may be more accurate to consider the robotic device as a training platform consisting of various therapeutic techniques and principles, not as a tool alone. A robotic system will be used to overcome the disadvantages of the existing robotic systems in the literature such as not providing support to the patient at the time of need, not providing fluidity in shoulder movements by not taking into account the scapulohumeral rhythm in upper extremity movements, long installation times, and ignoring task-oriented training. The system to be used is a self-aligning exoskeleton system for robot-assisted upper extremity rehabilitation. The system provides safe and versatile rehabilitation at increasing intensity and also allows for objective assessments. The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of local vibration application on the upper extremity pain, paresthesia, neck pain, and limitations in cervical joint range of motion experienced by patients with cervical radiculopathy.
This research will be conducted as a randomized controlled study with a parallel design to evaluate the effectiveness of the disaster nursing training program prepared with a gamification strategy based on multiple intelligence theory for final-year public health nursing students. Research hypothesis "H1a: The disaster nursing knowledge level of the students participating in the program, which is prepared with a Gamification Strategy Based on Multiple Intelligence Theory, differs from the control group. H1b: The perception of volunteering towards disaster nursing differs for the students included in the Program Prepared with Gamification Strategy Based on Multiple Intelligence Theory compared to the control group. H1c: The self-efficacy level of students involved in the Program Prepared with Gamification Strategy Based on Multiple Intelligences Theory regarding disaster nursing differs from the control group."
Despite significant advancements in imaging technologies, surgical techniques, chemotherapeutic regimens, and treatment strategies in recent years, ovarian cancer continues to remain the most deadly gynecological malignancy. Approximately 90% of ovarian cancers originate from the coelomic epithelium or modified mesothelial cells and are classified as epithelial ovarian cancers. The majority of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (70-80%) present in advanced stages. The primary treatment for advanced-stage (stage 3-4) disease consists of primary cytoreductive surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery aims to remove all visible tumor implants regardless of the extent of the disease and achieve no visible residual tumor (complete cytoreduction, R0) at the end of the surgery. In cases where R0 cannot be achieved (due to poor general condition and/or extensive tumor that cannot be completely excised surgically), the option of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval cytoreductive surgery is considered. Primary cytoreductive surgery is still the preferred option and is considered a quality indicator for centers performing advanced-stage ovarian cancer surgeries. Despite advancements in surgery, the decision for interval surgery following primary surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is often based on the surgeon's experience, imaging results, and clinic preferences. Various methods and scores have been published and applied to predict which patients are suitable for primary surgery. The Cukurova score developed in our clinic conceptualizes prioritizing surgical procedures using radiological imaging and diagnostic exploratory laparoscopy to achieve complete cytoreduction in harmony with the patient's clinical and performance status, rather than focusing solely on tumor burden. The score showed high success rates for complete cytoreduction and also was useful in terms of predicting the morbidity and mortality. However, the Cukurova score study was conducted in single center. Validation of scores in centers with different capacities is expected to facilitate their widespread use and acceptance. Therefore, in this study, the investigators plan to conduct a validation study of the score in a total of 20 centers in Turkey, including our center. This study aims to evaluate the validity of the Cukurova score in predicting outcomes of primary cytoreduction in advanced ovarian cancer patients and thus determining the decision for primary cytoreductive surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval cytoreductive surgery.
This study will be investigated the effects of facilitated tucking, ShotBlocker and combined facilitated tucking and ShotBlocker methods on procedural pain, crying time and duration of the procedure during Hepatitis B vaccine administration in healthy term infants.
The cause of hypoxia during one-lung ventilation is a common anaesthetic problem seen during thoracic surgery and is associated with increased fraction of shunted blood. This shunt occurs because the lung not participating in respiration stops saturating the blood with oxygen. The importance of our study is to collect some of the patient's parameters on a nomogram in the preoperative period, to predict the shunt fraction that will occur during one-lung ventilation and to make preparations and interventions accordingly.
Studies in the literature are limited both throughout Turkey and in general. For this reason, as a result of the study that we will create, it will provide us with information for bladder protective treatments in patients who do not respond to BCG therapy in bladder cancer patients.
