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.
The assessment of oral health, jaw health and related problems in bipolar patients is important to provide a holistic approach to patients in terms of physical, mental and psychosocial aspects and to improve quality of life. In this study, oral health, temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) were investigated in patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD).
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temporomandibular joint problems, head posture, tongue strength, and endurance with core stabilization.
In this study, the effect of plantar fascia release with a magnetic fascial cork ball on hamstring and lumbar extensor muscle elasticity will be investigated.
Background: The effect of exercise on knee osteoarthritis (OA) is often evaluated with patient-reported scales. The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values of these scales are needed to understand the change in patients after treatment and to manage the treatment. It is also one of the most important data in calculating the MCID sample size. Aim: In the literature, MCID studies for exercise applied to knee OA are limited especially for those who did not undergo surgery. Thus new studies are needed. Method: 100 patients who were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be recruited for the study. Participants will be included in an exercise program tailored to their needs for 15 sessions. WOMAC, OKS, LEFS scales will be used also knee range of motion will be assessed in the baseline, after treatments and in the 4th month follow up.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (MGS) is a clinical picture accompanied by genital and urinary symptoms and is commonly seen in the postmenopausal period. In the literature, the effects of drug and non-drug methods in the improvement of these symptoms have been investigated in many different designs. There is limited evidence that pelvic floor physiotherapy improves vulvovaginal blood flow with repetitive muscle activation, reduces vulvar irritation with reduction in urinary incontinence episodes, and normalizes pelvic floor muscle tone in the treatment of MGS. In addition, there is no study to the best of our knowledge investigating the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercise training and patient/individual training, in which individuals are informed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effects of pelvic floor muscle training and patient/individual information training in the presence of a physiotherapist on genitourinary symptoms and quality of life in individuals with GSM and to contribute to science in the light of this information. Before starting the study, the physical (height, body weight) and sociodemographic characteristics (age, marital status, educational status, employment status), medical history and menopausal characteristics of the individuals will be recorded. In addition, the pelvic floor muscle strength of the individuals will be evaluated at the beginning of the study and after the study is completed; genital symptoms, urinary symptoms and quality of life and scales will be questioned. Within the scope of individual/patient information education, menopause and menopause-related complaints, genitourinary (genital, sexual and urinary-related) symptoms of menopause, sexual function, the effect of menopause on sexual functions, recommendations for menopausal symptoms and complaints, and the structure and function of the pelvic floor muscles and pelvic floor muscles. Information will be given including recommendations for base health. This training will be given at the beginning of the study and will be repeated after 4 weeks to increase the benefit of the training. Individuals will be included in the progressive exercise training program within the scope of the pelvic floor muscle exercise training program. In the controls to be made every 15 days, the exercise compliance of the individuals will be monitored and the number of exercises will be increased. Exercise charts will be given in order to increase the adaptation of individuals to exercise and the benefit they will gain from exercise. The estimated time in this study is 8 weeks and it is planned to include 50 volunteers in the study.
Our aim in this interventional study is to investigate the effectiveness of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment applied to the articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves on pain, functional level, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with coxarthrosis. We will compare the effects of PRF treatment added to nerve block compared to nerve block alone.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does nurse counseling affect quality of life? - Does nurse counseling affect functional capacity? - Does nurse counseling affect knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about syndromes? Participants will be trained using the training booklet, and nursing counseling will then be provided for six months. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare with the control group to see if the nurse counseling has had an effect.
Short summary: The aim of this randomized controlled clinical research study was to compare distal radial artery cannulation with forearm radial artery cannulation in terms of efficacy and ease of administration. The investigators believe that cannulation of the distal radial artery in cases requiring invasive arterial monitoring should preserve the radial artery of the forearm for future health problems and reduce circulatory complications by working more distally. The main question[s] aims to answer are: - [question 1]: whether artery monitoring can be performed with a more distal approach - [question 2]: efficacy and safety of the distal approach
In the present study, investigators, aimed to evaluate the effect of erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser application combined with mechanical debridement (MD) on clinical parameters and biochemical parameters such as receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in patients with peri-implant diseases.
Researchers studied the attitude towards patients with chronic pain, it is a very important issue for the literature. The prevalence of chronic pain is very high in the world, however, patients with chronic pain state at every opportunity that patients are not sufficiently understood and stigmatized by healthcare professionals. In this article, researchers studied the validity and reliability of the scale of the attitude of healthcare professionals towards their patients with chronic pain in students studying in the field of health (medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation, nursing). Researchers found that the Healthcare Professionals' Attitudes towards Patients with Chronic Pain Scale was valid and reliable in healthcare students. Thanks to this scale, students' attitudes towards patients with chronic pain will be measured, and an idea will be gained about the student's deficiency.
