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 observational study is to evaluate the effects of a supervised aerobic exercise training program on weight loss, functional capacity, quality of life (QoL), and depression levels in patients with essential hypertension.
This study was planned to examine and compare the effectiveness of two different pilates exercise methods (mat pilates vs reformer pilates) in individuals with Ankylosing Spondylitis(AS).
Dexmedetomidine is a drug known for its pain-relieving and restlessness-reducing effects. The purpose of this run is to use the association between this use during surgery and the attrition of post-operative pain and discomfort. In the research, laboratory and monitoring results will be obtained before, during and after the operation. Postoperative patient complaints will be evaluated at the postoperative service visit. This study is decided on a completely voluntary basis.
The aim of this study is to assess how guided self-determination method affects adherence to treatment, fluid control, self-efficacy, anxiety level and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. The population of the study consisted of patients who received HD treatment at Private Eskişehir Anatolian Dialysis Center and Eskişehir Osmangazi University Health, Practice and Research Hospital Dialysis Unit between April 2022 and October 2022. The sample of the study was 65 patients who met the inclusion criteria in the specified population. Individual Identification Form, Biological/Biochemical Data Form, End Stage Renal Failure Compliance Scale, Hemodialysis Patients Fluid Control Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Beck Anxiety Scale and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale Short Form were used to collect research data.
Adolescence is the period in which a person grows and develops the fastest, covering the transition from childhood to maturity. Compared to sedentary adolescents who regularly exercise, there were significant differences in levels of functional capacity, cognitive function, and quality of life. The balance that shows significant development in the adult period, if not sufficiently developed, results in a lack of proper balance during movements, making individuals exposed to injuries. A strong "core" area is needed to ensure the stabilization of the whole body and increase functional capacity. In the studies carried out, the "core" exercise programs resulted in increased lumbopelvic stability, improved small and large muscle strength, and increased body control and balance. Motor imagery is defined as the resurrection of movement in the mind before movement occurs. For individuals with health or health-related problems, it has been found that the implementation of imaging tasks is beneficial, either alone or in addition to physical practice and that similar brain regions are activated during the performance of the movement and imaging the movement. 56 healthy girls will be included in our study. The participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups, including 28 control groups and 28 training groups. The core performance will be assessed with the Modified Push-Up Test and Sit-Up Test. The Flamingo test will be used to assess static balance and the Y test will be used to assess dynamic balance. Quality of life will be assessed with the Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire (PedsQL) for adolescents aged 13-18 years. Functional capacity will be assessed with the 6-Minute Walk Test. Exercise Readiness Questionnaire will be used to measure exercise readiness. The Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised (MIQ-R) form will be used for motor imagery; the Vividness of Motor Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ) will be used for clarity and vividness of motor imagery. During the motor imagery training, heart rate will be measured to determine whether the participant performs the imagery correctly. In addition to all of these assessments, the values of Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Saturation, Dyspnea, and Fatigue Levels (Modified Borg Dyspnea and fatigue scales) will be recorded. The control group will be subject to Jeffreys' core (body) stabilization training protocol. The training group will receive engine simulation training in addition to Jeffreys' core (body) stabilization training protocol. The control group and the training group will implement training programs with a physiotherapist 3 times a week for 8 weeks. All assessments will be repeated before and after the 8-week training program. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of motor imagery training given in addition to core stabilization training on core performance, balance, functional capacity, and quality of life in healthy adolescent girls.
Background: The occurrence of many diseases has been associated with oxidative stress and disruption of antioxidant mechanisms. Temporomandibular Joint(TMJ) Disorders are also thought to develop with the onset of the destructive process in the tissues as a result of this balance being disrupted. Purpose: This study was designed to compare salivary and serum oxidative stress and inflammation markers of individuals with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and healthy subjects. Study design, setting, and sample: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted. 27 TMD patients diagnosed with disc displacement (DD) according to RDC/TMD and 17 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Prior to any treatment, serum and saliva samples were taken from the patients and centrifuged, and stored at -80°C until analyzed. All samples were examined for IL-6, MDA and 8-OHdG concentrations. Predictor variable: Diagnosis of disc displacement (RDC/TMD) Main outcome variables: Levels of 8-OHdG, IL-6 and MDA Covariates: Age and gender
Reciprocal inhibition is a medulla spinalis control mechanism that facilitates motor activities in healthy people. As the agonist muscle contracts, the antagonist muscle is inhibited so that the agonist action can take place properly. In the literature, there are studies showing that in patients with upper motor neuron lesions, this reverses, and reciprocal facilitation occurs instead of inhibition. However, there is no clear situation in this regard, there is a need for more methodologically sound studies. Our aim in this study is to investigate the presence of reciprocal facilitation in patients with spinal cord lesions (SCL).
This research was conducted to examine the effect of video-assisted teaching on the health education skill of midwifery students.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performances of Edelweiss prefabricated veneers and direct resin composite restorations (Ceram-X Duo SphereTec) performed with U- veneer transparent templates used for anterior diastema closure and tooth reshaping over 3-year. The patient group consisted of individuals who applied for aesthetic complaints on their anterior teeth. 21 volunteer individuals without systemic disease were included in the study. Patients were randomly selected for each group. In Group 1; 38 teeth (10 patients) were restored with Edelweiss prefabricated veneers (Edelweiss Dentistry) in combination with Edelweiss nanohybrid resin composite (Edelweiss Dentistry) and Prime&Bond Universal (Dentsply Sirona) adhesive system. In Group 2; 36 teeth (11 patients) were restored with Ceram-X Duo SphereTec (Dentsply Sirona) resin composite in combination with U- veneer (Ultradent) transparent templates and Prime&Bond Universal adhesive systems. Properties of the restorations were evaluated at baseline, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months using Modified Ryge Criteria (USPHS Criteria). Data were evaluated using Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact tests (p=0.05).
The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of local ozone injection and dextrose prolotherapy applications on pain and foot functions to compare the efficacy and to evaluate the thickness of the plantar fascia.
