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.
Intravenous (iv) cannulation is one of the most common applications performed by anesthesiologists in and outside the operating room. It is necessary to provide vascular access before any anesthetic procedure. Venous cannulation is a moderately painful procedure and is uncomfortable for patients, and the pain of intravenous cannulation may increase the patient's stress. Various methods are used to reduce cannulation pain. Stimulation of the N. Vagus is also among these methods (1). The branches of N. Vagus are densely located under the skin in the auricle and on the lateral aspect of the neck. It is thought that the dominance of the right and left vagal nerve over different systems is different. For example; While the right vagal branches are thought to be more effective on heart rate, the left side vagal branches are thought to be more effective in the treatment of refractory epilepsy. Purpose: Our aim in this study is to evaluate the vascular access pain in our patients to whom investigator applied venous cannulation from the back of the hand before anesthesia, by stimulating the Vagus Nerve with cold application to the neck area on both sides separately.

It is thought that this research will lead to the development of school-based interventions at other universities in similar situations. The purpose of this research is to increase the level of psychological preparation and awareness of disaster preparedness and disaster threat through virtual reality-based disaster education given to nursing students.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) on the acute effects of physical fitness parameters in healthy male individuals. 24 volunteers are included in this study who have been divided into two groups such that one part is an IASTM and the other part is a control group. The physical activity levels of the individuals participating in the study were determined using the short form of the International Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (IPAQ). Individuals; their aerobic capacity is the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT), muscle strength values are digital dynamometer, muscle flexibility values are sit-reach and quadriceps flexibility test, fatigue values are Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Modified Borg Scale, agility assessment is T-Test, and balance assessment is evaluated with a stabilometer device.
Children may be exposed to acute and chronic illnesses during their development and may experience negative emotions and They may be exposed to experiences. For the purpose of diagnosis and treatment in a child admitted to hospital due to illness blood sampling causes pain and anxiety. To reduce pain and anxiety pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods are preferred in children. Nonpharmacologic methods supportive, cognitive and physical, although they are more preferred than pharmacological methods in order to classify them as such. Various methods are used within the scope of these classifications, among which The method of distraction is more preferred. This study is based on distraction the effect of the clown, which is one of the methods, on pain and anxiety during blood sampling. to determine the impact of the project. It is planned to be conducted as a randomized controlled study and in this study, 5-12 years old with children between the ages of 18 and 18, and the Pediatric Outpatient Clinic at Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine. It was planned to be conducted in the blood collection unit. Minimum number of children to be included in the study The intervention group was planned as 28 and the control group as 28, but due to the possibility of data loss, 15 To collect more data, the number of children to be recruited for both groups is targeted to be 32-33. Children will be randomly assigned to the groups and the assignment to the groups will be based on 'stratification and blocked randomization methods' were planned to be used. Sociodemographic characteristics in data collection form, Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale (WBFPS), Child Anxiety Scale-Dispositional (CAS-D) scales were planned to be used. Obtaining necessary institutional permissions by the researcher and project advisor It is planned to start the project after it is ensured. Research data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the 'Informed Consent Form'. Family 'Informed Voluntary Consent Form' about the research will be informed. In the intervention group, the blood collection process will be carried out with foamy bubbles accompanied by a clown. by playing with the parents. No treatment was applied to the control group and the parents blood sampling will be performed in the presence of the child. Both groups will be administered the WBFPS and CAS-D scales, will be administered by both the researcher and the parent. The research results to be obtained will be published in international SSCI and/or SCI publishing them as scientific articles in journals, organizing national and international conferences, symposiums and contributing to the literature as a result of being presented in seminars, raising awareness in this field, creating a It is aimed to shed light on future research.
The study is a randomised controlled trial designed to determine the effect of the Mindfulness-Based Breastfeeding Programme on maternal breastfeeding awareness, breastfeeding attitudes and breastfeeding continuation among mothers who have given birth by caesarean section. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the Mindfulness-Based Breastfeeding programme using the "Mindful Breastfeeding Scale" and "Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale". The research will use stratified and simple randomisation methods. Research data will be collected from mothers who gave birth by caesarean section at the gynaecology clinic of the Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Health Application and Research Center of between April 2024 and December 2025.
The prospective and two-arm randomized controlled study was conducted on n = 82 (41 = control, 41 = music group) mothers who gave birth at term at Trakya University Health Research and Application Center Maternity Service between May and December 2023. The music group was listened to Turkish music played for 30 minutes every day for 2 postpartum days. Research data were collected through the "Personal Information Form", "Stein Blues Scale (SDS)" and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS). The scales used in the research were evaluated four times: pre-, intermediate, follow-up and post-test. Descriptive statistics, Pearson and Spearman's correlation analyzes will be used in the analysis of research data.
Pes planus is caused by the elongation of the intrinsic muscles in the medial arch of the foot, causing the arch to approach the ground or the sole of the foot to touch the ground completely.
the specific effect of IMT on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal wall thickness during weaning remains unclear. To address this significant research gap, the primary objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of IMT after extubation on expiratory muscle strength and abdominal muscle thickness in respiratory ICU patients. On the other hand the investigators established reference values for ultrasonographic measurements in healthy control subjects as a comparative arm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the ultrasonographic effects of IMT on the expiratory muscle thickness after extubation. The investigators believe that our study may contribute to related literature in this context and guide future research as a pioneer with its unique value.
Lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD) are common in the pediatric population and include symptoms related to functional disorders. LUTD limits children and their parents socially, physically, and financially; leads to secondary comorbidities in the long term and negatively affects quality of life. Therefore, effective treatment of LUTD is important. Treatment options in children with LUTD include standard urotherapy, physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices, pharmacologic approaches, and Botulinum toxin type A injections. Pharmacologic treatment and invasive approaches have high side effect rates and compliance problems; therefore, conservative treatment methods should be completed first. The literature focuses on standard urotherapy, pharmacologic approaches and biofeedback therapy. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study in this population that comprehensively addresses the anatomical structures closely related to the pelvic floor with a more holistic perspective beyond the standard patient education and pelvic floor. Therefore, The aim of our study is to demonstrate the additional effects of massage therapy and exercise training for the lumbopelvic area in children with LUTD compared to standard urotherapy and pelvic floor biofeedback therapy in a randomized controlled design.
