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 goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of possible treatments in misophonics. The main question it aims to answer is: - Is exposure more effective on misophonic symptoms than sound therapy? Participants are randomly assinged to three groups of treatment; 1. Psychoeducation 2. Psychoeducation + Exposure 3. Psychoeducation + Sound Therapy
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by decreased bone strength and an increased risk of fracture. Age, gender, body mass index, fragility fracture history, corticosteroid use, immobilization, smoking and alcohol use, endocrine pathologies besides inflammatory and infectious pathologies can also be effective in the development of osteoporosis. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Covid-19 infection on the development of osteoporosis. In this study, bone mineral density (BMD) measurements of patients with Covid-19 infection were examined. For this, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurement was used. A total of 55 patients were included in the study and data such as age, height, weight, comorbidities, drugs used, and treatment methods were recorded. Results showed that the time spent in the intensive care unit was associated with the femoral neck T score in DEXA measurements of patients with Covid-19 infection. The use of drugs such as alendronate, zolendronate, denosumab or teriparatide during the treatment process did not have a statistically significant effect on the lumbar and femur T scores.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of listening to music during the treatment of frozen shoulder on pain, normal range of motion, functional activity status and quality of life.Upon recruitment, the subjects were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: Group 1 received Music + Mobilization + Exercise, Group 2 received Music + Exercise, Group 3 received Mobilization + Exercise, and Group 4 received Exercise only.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a transient and usually fully reversible altered state of consciousness that develops acutely or subacutely after surgery, characterized by widespread, daily fluctuations in brain metabolism and function. It can be seen as hyperactive (mania), hypoactive (depressive) and mixed type. It has been shown to be associated with increased morbidity, mortality, health expenditures and prolonged hospitalization in the postoperative period. In studies, the frequency of POD was found to be 17-51% in orthopedic surgery, 11-46% in cardiac surgery and 13-50% in non-cardiac surgery. There are many studies in the literature on advanced age, comorbidities (e. g; diabetes mellitus, stroke, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias), dementia, use of glasses-hearing aids, medications (anticholinergic, opioid, benzodiazepine etc. ), duration of anesthesia, type of surgery, electrolyte disturbances, perioperative bleeding, hypotension, pain and intensive care unite stay as risk factors associated with delirium. This condition, which has a multifactorial etiology, is often unrecognized, unpreventable, untreatable and leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is important to recognize delirium that develops in the postoperative period and to perform the necessary interventions. There are many tests used in the diagnosis of POD. Delirium tests; it evaluates the patient under many sub-headings such as orientation, memory, attention, visual and spatial ability. The gold standard method is DSM-V (North American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-V of Mental Disorders-V) to assess delirium status. There are also some other tests like DRS-R-98 (The Delirium Rating Scale--Revised-98) and 3D-CAM (3-minute diagnostic assessment for CAM-Confusion Assessment Method-defined delirium). In addition to patient assessment, these tests are useful for the clinician in the diagnosis of delirium. The aim of the study is to compare the DRS-R-98 and 3D-CAM tests used in the assessment of POD, and to evaluate their feasibility and the power detecting delirium.
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of traditional mat exercises, Reformer Pilates and Hammock Yoga approaches on pain, endurance, balance, disability, and quality of life of individuals who had Chronic Back Pain.
Background: Expressing breast milk in cases where breastfeeding is interrupted is important for infants to be fed breast milk however, many factors can affect mothers' breastfeeding experience, such as feeding attitudes and the level of social support. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship mothers' breast milk expression experience between infant feeding attitudes and perceived social support level. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the postpartum and lactation unit of a city hospital in Istanbul, between September-November 2022. The study included 455 women who were volunteering to participate in the research, 18 years of age or older, in the 0-6 months postpartum period, having a living baby, continuing to breastfeed, and expressing breast milk at least once after birth. Data were collected with Mother-Baby Introductory Information Form, Breast Milk Expression Experience Measure (BMEE), Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The data were analyzed using the SPSS-21 statistical software package. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which characteristics affect mothers' breast milk expression experiences, infant feeding attitudes, and perceived social support levels in the early postpartum period? - Is there a relationship between mothers' experiences of breast milk expression and their infant feeding attitudes and social support levels in the early postpartum period?
Previous studies conducted on the hemodynamic effects of pneumoperitoneum pressures created by different insufflation flows are very limited in the literature. In a current literature review, there was no study found comparing the effects of hemodynamic changes created by low and high insufflation flows and pneumoperitoneum pressure on cerebral oxygenation. The purpose of the study was to contribute to the literature by investigating the effects of pneumoperitoneum pressures created by different flows on brain oxygenation.
Objective: To investigate the effects of single session dual wavelength low dose laser therapy to be applied after third molar tooth extraction on postoperative pain, edema and physical activities. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients who applied for the extraction of a Class III and position B lower impacted wisdom tooth were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups as laser and control group. Envelope selection method was used for randomization of patients. After the surgery, a single session of double wavelength low-dose laser therapy was applied to the patients. On the 2nd and 7th postoperative days, pain was measured with the VAS scale, edema was measured by face measurements of 3 different points, and quality of life was measured with the modified Posse scale.
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of TENS applied in the early postpartum period after cesarean section on incision healing, pain and comfort. Methods: This study was designed as randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled. All participants signed an informed consent statement before starting the study. The study sample of 138 (TENS group n=46, placebo group n=46, control group n=46). TENS application, postpartum 10-12. at hours and 14-16. It was applied twice for 30 minutes each. Researcher 1 programmed the TENS unit and was the only researcher who knew whether TENS was active or in placebo mode. The pretest data were applied to the participants who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study, in the patient rooms 10 hours after the cesarean section. Post-test data were obtained by the same investigator 16 hours after cesarean section. Data were obtained with Personal Information Form, Postoperative Recovery Index (PoRI), REEDA Scale, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Postpartum Comfort Scale (PPCQ).
To perform the reliability and validity study of the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2) in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
