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.
At least 36 volunteers with a diagnosis of hypertension in the Department of Cardiology of Dokuz Eylul University and who meet the criteria for follow-up and inclusion will participate in the study. The aim of this study is to compare the acute effects on atherosclerosis, heart rate variability, blood pressure, perceived exertion, energy expenditure, and muscle strength of using different frequencies in whole body vibration training (WBVT) in hypertensive patients. Individuals will perform; static squat, dynamic toe raise, static abduction and dynamic squat exercises in both hips on a vibrating platform. In each session, a different frequency (0,25 and 40 Hz) will be applied. 0 Hz, 25 Hz and 40 Hz sessions will be randomized to last 15 minutes. Demographic and clinical information of the participants will be questioned.Before and after the sessions; hemodynamic and pulmonary responses, vascular responses, heart rate variability and quadriceps femoris muscle strength will be measured. In addition, energy expenditure will be recorded during the sessions.
In this study, it is aimed to determine the prognostic value of GCS-P and the GCS-P score, which is formed by assigning a verbal score, in patients with traumatic brain injury, where all parameters can be evaluated. In the model to be created, a new total score will be obtained with Motor score + Eye Response + assigned verbal Score-Pupil score and this score will be compared with GCS and GCS-Pupil score.
The aim of study is to evaluate the results of three different protocols for prevention of premature ovulation in ovarian stimulation cycles. All patients that undergo IVF cycles are randomly divided into three groups. The first group is cetrorelix, the second group is medroxyprogesterone acetate and the third group is dydrogesterone.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of apremilast in participants 2 years of age or older with oral ulcers associated with Behçets disease or 5 years of age or older with active juvenile psoriatic arthritis that have completed Study 20190530 or Study 20190529.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of secukinumab 300 milligram (mg) and 150 mg administered subcutaneously (s.c.) for 52 weeks in combination with prednisone tapered over 24 weeks in adult participants with PMR who have recently relapsed.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Motor Imagery and Action Observation on Motor Skill Acquisition in healthy adults.
The aim of this study is to assement of the change in consumer behaviours during the food inflation period in order to afford the dietary cost according to food security status and food choice motives. The study was planned in four stages. 1) First stage is adapting the Single-item Food Choice Questionnaire to Turkish society and to make its validity and reliability in Turkish. 2) The Impact of Food Inflation on Consumer Behavioural Change (TIF-Con) scale will be developed. 3) Observational cross-sectional data collection including these surveys will be carried out. 4) The Cost of the Recommended Diet (CoRD) will be calculated by collecting data simultaneously with the fieldwork. Hypotheses will be tested in line with the findings obtained.
Introduction: Scalp incision is a powerful nociceptive stimulus that can exacerbate rapid changes in hemodynamic and sympathetic activity. Management of hemodynamic stability is essential in neuro-anesthesia and can be challenging among neurosurgery anesthesiologists. Neurosurgery operations include steps with a lot of painful stimuli such as intubation, insertion of a head-pinning, and craniotomy. A good anesthetic technique can improve hemodynamic responses by reducing the incidence of complications such as intracranial hypertension, bleeding, and longer recovery time. Routine analgesic approach in the intraoperative and postoperative period of supratentorial craniotomy includes the routine use of paracetamol, opioids, scalp nerve block with proven effectiveness, and intravenous ibuprofen, which gives good results by reducing opioid doses in moderate-to-severe pain. Supratentorial craniotomy surgery, which requires tight hemodynamic control, needs effective analgesic methods. Trial design: It is a prospective, randomized controlled, consisting of factorial groups, double-blind study. Participants: This study will be carried out at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine İbni Sina Hospital (Altındağ, Ankara, Turkey) between November 2022 and February 2023. One hundred and two ASA I-III patients with a body mass index (BMI) below 30, aged between 18 and 65, who will undergo elective supratentorial craniotomy due to a brain tumor, are planned to be included in the study. Interventions: The group in which IV ipurofen was administered was named Ibuprofen Group (Group I), the group in which scalp nerve block was applied Block Group (Group), and the group in which IV ibuprofen and scalp nerve block were applied together was named Ibuprofen+Block Group (IB Group). In the premedication unit, 800 mg of ibuprofen in 100 ml of normal saline will be administered to Group I and Group IB, and 100 ml of normal saline without ibuprofen will be administered to Group B as a 30-minute IV infusion. After intubation, a scalp nerve block with 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine will be applied to Group B and Group IB, and 20 ml of normal saline will be injected into the block sites in Group I. Objective: The investigators aimed to show the effect of scalp nerve block and IV ibuprofen applications, which are routinely applied, on the optimization of the patient's process from induction to the early postoperative period. In addition, the investigators will examine the comparison of hemodynamic and analgesic effects of scalp nerve block and IV ibuprofen applications under the guidance of pain monitor, and their contribution to reducing opioid consumption, which has side effects such as postoperative nausea/vomiting, slowing of GI motility, respiratory depression. Outcome: The primary endpoint of the study was the differences between the groups in the changes in the patients' nociception level (NoL) index, heart rate, and blood pressure parameters at the time of head-pinning and the first surgical skin incision. Randomization: Randomization of the patients into 3 groups will be carried out using the closed envelope method. Blinding: The patients included in the study and the practicing anesthesiologist do not know which patient is included in which group.
Even in healthy individuals, there may be tensions in the diaphragm muscle due to factors such as wrong posture, wrong breathing pattern, sedentary lifestyle, and it cannot fully fulfill its function. As a result of this tension in the diaphragm muscle, the breathing pattern deteriorates and sleep quality decreases. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of diaphragm release technique on sleep duration and sleep quality in healthy individuals. In this study, sleep quality of individuals will be evaluated with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI), sleep duration, heart rate and step count with Fitbit® Inspire 2. 32 individuals living in Tokat will be included in the study. After obtaining the sociodemographic information of the individuals, the average of sleep duration, heart rate and step counts will be recorded for 3 days with the Fitbit® Inspire 2 wearable technology to be provided within the scope of the project. Sleep quality will be recorded with PUKI. The diaphragm release technique will be applied in 3 sessions, with 2 days of rest in between. After the applications are finished, sleep time, heart rate and step counts will be recorded for 3 days with Fitbit® Inspire 2 wearable technology.
The goal of this clinical trial is to show the additive effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied to the multifidus muscle in addition to stabilization exercises in patients with chronic low back pain. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does NMES have additional effects on multifidus muscle thickness? Participants will go under a treatment protocol combination of lumber stabilization exercises and NMES. Researchers will compare the groups Group 1 which has only lumber stabilization exercises and Group 2 which has both exercises and NMES to see if any changes occur in multifidus muscle thickness.
