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.
There are no specific criteria for wheelchair use in patients with lower extremity amputations. The main purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of wheelchair use in lower extremity amputee patients. In addition, it is aimed to determine the reasons for using and not using a wheelchair, and what type of wheelchair is needed.
Esophageal and stomach cancers, which constitute cancers of the upper region of the digestive system, are cancers that are frequently observed and unfortunately have a low rate of cured patients. In these cases, the stage of cancer at diagnosis is very important for two reasons; First, the stage of the cancer is directly related to the survival time. Secondly, treatment is planned according to the stage. Different treatments are applied to patients at different stages. Currently, the TNM staging (Tumor, Lymph Node and Metastases) system is the accepted one worldwide. Despite many advanced technology tools used in staging (Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Endoscopic Ultrasonography), there are still difficulties in correct staging before surgery or before-after neoadjuvant therapy. Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly used in the field of health, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Obtaining cancer details in radiological images, which cannot be noticed by the human eye, by analyzing big data with the help of algorithms gave rise to the application area of "radiomics". It is stated that with Radiomics, there will be improvements in both the diagnosis and staging of cancers and, accordingly, in the treatment. While there are studies on the use of endoscopic methods with artificial intelligence for the early diagnosis of esophageal cancers, a limited number of studies have been conducted on stage estimation from radiological images. In particular, there are not enough studies on the investigation of changes in tumor size after chemotherapy with artificial intelligence and the estimation of staging. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the predictive efficiency of staging and the accuracy of the algorithm developed with artificial intelligence by processing tomography images in a region where esophageal cancers are endemic as a primary outcome and to evaluate the post-treatment mortality, morbidity rates and complication rates of the patients as a secondary outcome.
In this study, it was investigated whether the premedication drug administered before the surgery had an effect on postoperative pain and anxiety scores in female patients under the age of 65 who will undergo breast cancer surgery.
This study; In order to investigate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on sleep quality, serotonin and melatonin levels in cardiac patients with sleep problems, a pretest/posttest experimental design study will be conducted with a control group. The data of this study will be collected between May 2022 and December 2022. The research will be carried out with a total of 60 (experimental group=30, control group=30) patients treated for heart failure, myocardial infarction and angina pectoris in the cardiology clinic of a university hospital. The data of the study will be collected using the Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale and the Commercial ELISA kit. Progressive relaxation exercises will be applied to the patients included in the experimental group for 3 consecutive days. Before relaxation exercises, urine melatonin, serotonin level [5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 6-sulphatoxymelatonin(6-HMS)] measurement and sleep quality will be measured according to the kit procedure. In the analysis of the data, significance p <0.05 will be accepted. Institutional permission, ethics committee approval, and written consent from the participants were obtained before the study.
Since all the follow-up and care of the pregnant during the prenatal period are carried out by the midwives, the care provided by the midwives to the women during the prenatal period plays a key role for the woman to have a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. Midwives should take psychological approaches in order to reduce the negative feelings of women before cesarean section. Considering all these, it is thought that Emotional Freedom Technique, which does not require any invasive intervention, is inexpensive and easy to apply, will contribute to women's feeling better by reducing pre-cesarean anxiety, surgical fear and traumatic birth perception.
This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label, global study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inavolisib plus fulvestrant compared with alpelisib plus fulvestrant in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -negative, PIK3CA-mutated, locally advanced (LA) or metastatic breast cancer (mBC), who progressed during or after cyclin dependent kinase 4/6i (CDK4/6i)-based therapy.
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a well-known risk factor for diseases of the anal region (hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc.) and large intestine (colon cancer, diverticular disease). Untreatable IBS disease not only impairs the patient's quality of life but also reduces the success of surgical treatment in these diseases. Today, only one-third of IBS patients achieve successful results with the treatment methods and diets used routinely. Balancing the composition of the gut microbiota may yield satisfactory results in this patient group. With the results of our study, we aim to reveal the effect of microbiome analysis and personalized diet on symptoms and its place in treatment in patients with IBS disease. Patients applying to Gastroenterology outpatient clinics in respective centers due to IBS will be randomized into two groups. The patients in the control group will follow the FODMAP diet protocol for IBS; In the study group, a personalized diet will be applied according to the gut microbiota. No nutritional supplements will be used in either group. Changes in defecation habits and quality of life scale of both groups will be evaluated at the end of 6 weeks and the results will be compared.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of tobemstomig alone or in combination with tiragolumab compared with atezolizumab in participants with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) who are ineligible to receive a platinum containing chemotherapy.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of high-frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(rTMS) therapy applied to the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) area on neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury. In this area, there are very few studies on the effectiveness of rTMS treatment added to medical treatment in neuropathic pain. In addition, the number of studies comparing the effect of rTMS therapy applied to the DLFPC area is very few.
This study is a prospective randomized placebo-controlled phase 2 study to compare CYP-001 plus corticosteroids (CS) to placebo plus CS in allogeneic hematologic stem cell transplant recipients with HR-aGvHD. Severity of GvHD will be assessed at screening and throughout the study using Mount Sinai Acute GvHD International Consortium (MAGIC) guidelines. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive either CYP-001 IV infusion on Days 0 and 4 or placebo on the same days. All subjects will receive ongoing CS therapy as appropriate per institutional guidelines. Subjects will have study visits up to Day 100 during the Primary Evaluation Period. During the Follow-Up Period, subjects will have study visits up to 24 months.
