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.
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of video, which is watched by virtual reality glasses during the procedure, on anxiety, pain and patient satisfaction to women who have had pap smear test.
The ability to respond to multiple stimuli is impaired in Parkinson's patients. Traditional rehabilitation approaches focus only on balance and gait training, but individuals with Parkinson's disease need to perform multiple tasks in daily life.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inavolisib in combination with Phesgo (pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and rHuPH20 injection for subcutaneous use) compared with placebo in combination with Phesgo, as maintenance therapy, after induction therapy in participants with previously untreated HER2-positive advanced breast cancer (ABC).
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) has been defined as a comprehensive rehabilitation approach focusing on a motor learning effect, especially in the elderly. Therefore, PNF can be an effective treatment method for our purpose which is to analyze if PNF techniques improve balance and gait characteristics in elderly with scapular disposition and to determine the difference when used with the gait education
Exercise interventions are deemed essential for the effective management of patients with pain. Various therapy methods have been shown in the literature for pain and coping with pain. However, there is no study investigating the effectiveness of Basic Body Awareness Therapy in pain and coping with pain. In this respect, our study will contribute to the literature. The aim of our study is to compare the effectiveness of Basic Body Awareness Therapy and Therapeutic Exercises on pain coping strategies of Postmenopausal women.
Knee osteoarthritis (gonarthrosis) is one of the most common types of osteoarthritis. It is a degenerative joint disorder characterized by pain, muscle weakness, and functional loss. It is more frequently observed in the medial compartment of the knee joint. Additionally, it can cause varus deformity by disrupting the alignment of the knee joint. There have been no studies comparing the effects of conservative treatment approaches such as virtual reality exercises, orthoses, and kinesio taping. Therefore, the aim of this current study is to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality exercises alone and in combination with orthotic approach and kinesio taping in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. The participants included in the study will be randomly divided into three groups. The first group will receive virtual reality exercises, the second group will receive virtual reality exercises along with valgus orthosis, and the third group will receive virtual reality exercises combined with kinesio taping treatment. The interventions will be applied three times a week for eight weeks. Evaluations will be repeated before and after the exercise therapy. The evaluations will include pain assessment using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), muscle strength measured by hand dynamometer, balance assessed by the Berg Balance Scale, proprioception measured by stabilizer and inclinometer, joint range of motion measured by goniometer, functional status evaluated by the WOMAC scale, lower extremity length measured by tape measure, walking speed assessed by the 10-Meter Walk Test (10 MWT), quality of life measured by the SF-36 questionnaire, kinesiophobia evaluated by the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, architectural features of the quadriceps femoris muscle assessed by ultrasound imaging, knee OA score measured by the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and medial compartment distance of the knee calculated and recorded using computer-aided analysis on anteroposterior radiographs.
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on fatigue, quality of life and comfort in hemodialysis patients. In our research, it is aimed to reduce fatigue, increase the quality of life and comfort level in hemodialysis patients with acupressure applied.
Invasive painful interventions such as diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, blood sampling, injection and vaccine administration are among the greatest fears of children and lead to undesirable experiences both in children and in parents and healthcare personnel due to children's reactions to pain (İnal &Canbulat 2015;Tuna 2014; Wolyniez et al. 2013). It is important for healthcare personnel to spend additional time to manage the child's pain, anxiety and fear of medical procedures (Longobardi et al. 2019, Chen et al. 2020). The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Pain Society recommend alleviating or minimizing stress and pain, including practices such as venipuncture (Özel &Çetin 2020). Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic techniques are applied to reduce the emotional and physical effects of painful intervention (Özel &Çetin 2020). This study was planned to investigate the effect of the nurse's use of a mask with a cartoon character and the child's playing with a sound and light toy on the child's pain and parental anxiety during peripheral intravenous catheterization.
Preoperative evaluation of nutritional status in geriatric patients with lung cancer and implementation of these practices in elective patients are very important in terms of reducing postoperative complications and accelerating hospital discharge. For this purpose, many nutritional assessments and measurements are used. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the relationship between preoperative nutritional status and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery for geriatric lung cancer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the acute bronchodilator effect of the Ipratropium / Levosalbutamol 1.25 mg & 0.5 mg / 2.5 mL fixed dose combination nebuliser solution or Levosalbutamol 1.25 mg / 3 mL nebuliser solution and Ipratropium 500 mcg nebuliser solution in stable moderate-severe-very severe COPD patients.
