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.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as involuntary urinary incontinence. In women with COPD, chronic coughing can often lead to UI. In this patient group, incontinence may be related to functional impairment, concomitant diseases and medications used. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of urinary incontinence in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the factors that may be associated with urinary incontinence. The study included individuals who applied to the Pulmonary Diseases Policlinic of SANKO University Sani Konukoğlu Practice and Research Hospital and followed up with the diagnosis of COPD. The age, sex, height, weight, education level, smoking, exercise habits, fluid intake, medications and accompanying diseases such as heart disease, hypertension and diabetes will be recorded. Any prolapse or surgery will be questioned and noted. The disease severity will be determined by the forced expiratory volume (FEV1) value of the first second obtained from pulmonary function tests. Dyspnea score will also be determined by the Modified British Research Council (MBRC). Symptoms will be evaluated with the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). For urinary incontinence, the ICIQ-SF (International Urinary Incontinence Consultation) Questionnaire and Urinary Distress Inventory will be applied. In addition, the Leicester Cough Questionnaire will be used to assess your coughing functions, and the Activity-Self Assessment will be performed to determine the individual activity adequacy and the value of activities for individuals. All evaluations will be done only once with the help of the physiotherapist and asking the questions and recording the answers of the individual.
The aim is to compare the effects of intrinsic foot muscles and tibialis posterior strengthening exercise, and customized arch support insoles on foot posture, plantar force distribution, and balance in individuals with flexible pes planus.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of physiotherapy and rehabilitation program on hand involvement of patients with scleroderma and to compare the effects of home rehabilitation program and rehabilitation program under physiotherapist supervision. At the end of the study, the rehabilitation program under the supervision of physiotherapist and home exercise program will be compared with the effects of these applications on range of motion, grip strength, function and sensation. Since there are a limited number of randomized controlled studies in the literature on this subject and there is no randomized controlled clinical study on the superiority of physiotherapist supervision and home program, it will contribute to the information regarding the rehabilitation of scleroderma patients.
The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate maintenance of HiSCR response in either continuous or interrupted therapy (using a randomized withdrawal period) of two dose regimens and to assess long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of secukinumab in subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa completing either of the 2 Phase III studies. This is an expanded access trial for the core trials CAIN457M2301 (NCT03713619) and CAIN457M2302 (NCT03713619).
Primary headache can be triggered by light or noise. Getting rest in a quiet and dark environment for the treatment of acute headache is recommended for relief of pain during an attack. It is hard to provide this kind of environment in a busy emergency department. We aimed to determine if eye masks and noise reduction head sets are effective in reducing pain scores, fastening pain relief when used together with standard care. We also aimed to see if these methods were preferred over standard care.
It is aimed to determine patient satisfaction (pain assessment during and after the operation) and the initial and total anesthesia durations of eye lid and globe anesthesia after administration of local anesthetic solution only in standard applied volumes (1.5-3 ml). No agents will be added to the local anesthetic agents used in the conventional retrobulbar block in patients who will undergo cataract surgery,
The aim of this study was to compare the results of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy, laparoscopic modified lateral suspens9ion and laparoscopic pectopexy between January 2017 and December 2019 in our clinic.(Patients with at least 12 months of the date of surgery will be called for examination.)
Does Endtidalcarbondioxide Monitoring in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Have a Clinical Advantage?
The study is planed on ASA I-III, 18-80 years old 60 patients developing chronic renal failure and needing arteriovenous fistula surgery for dialysis program in Istanbul Medeniyet University Goztepe Research Hospital. Informed consent of the patients will be obtained before surgery.Patients with hemoglobinopathy, coagulopathy, wound or infection in the thenar eminence, wound and infection in the supraclavicular region on the side of the regional block, allergic to local anesthetic drugs and mental retardation will not be included in the study. Standart monitorization (ECG, peripheral oxygen saturation and non-invasive arterial pressure monitoring) will be made. Base and 5 minutes interval values will be recorded until the end of the surgery. The pads of the NIRS monitor will be placed on the thenar eminence of both hands and fixed with the help of a draipe and basal measurements will be taken and recorded. The patients will then be divided into two groups according to computer-generated table of random numbers. Group L patients will undergo surgical cleansing and sterile draping and infiltrate %5 bupivacaine 15ml. Group B the supraclavicular areas of the patients who will undergo surgical procedures will be sterile covered after appropriate sterilization. After the brachial plexus is visualized around the subclavian artery in the supraclavicular region with the help of Samsung ultrasound device, Bupivacaine 5% 20ml and Lidocaine 2% 10ml will be applied around the brachial plexus using a 50mm stimuplex needle. The effectiveness of the block will be evaluated by a single investigator after withdrawal of the needle, either by effective anesthesia with the block or every 10 minutes up to 30 minutes. The sensory block will be evaluated with a 3 point scale and the motor block will be evaluated routinely before and after the modified bromage scale (scored between 0 and 4). After withdrawal of the treated needle, we will contact the relevant nerve dermatome with cold application (cold SF) and ask the patient to classify the degree of cold feeling from 0 to 3. Block will be considered unsuccessful if surgical block cannot be provided after 30 minutes or if the patient experiences pain at any time during the operation. The duration of anesthesia occurring after local infiltration of Group L and the sensory and motor blockade after group B stimulation is taken will be recorded. In both groups, NIRS values will be recorded at 5 minute intervals until the end of the case after local anesthetic application. Investigator will call the patients for primer patency of fistula one month after operation.
Background: This study was conducted to examine the effect of local hot and cold applications on pain, anxiety level, length of application, and vein evaluation prior to inserting PVC. Methods: This randomised controlled trial was conducted with patients who were hospitalised in the cardiology department of a university hospital. PVC was inserted, the researcher applied a hot or cold application to the catheter insertion site for one minute.
