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 aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Mulligan concept Reverse Natural Apophysial Glide Technique (RNAGS)technique applied to the thoracic region on pain, limitation of movement, and functionality in individuals with mechanical neck pain.
Virtual reality-based aphasia rehabilitation has been shown to improve the language skills of individuals with aphasia in the chronic period after stroke. However, non-immersive or semi-immersive rehabilitation methods have often been adopted in the studies. Considering the importance of the visual given to the patient for naming, it can be thought that full immersive therapy may be more effective. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cue-based aphasia naming therapy in a fully immersive virtual reality environment on aphasia severity and aphasia-related quality of life and to compare it with standard cue treatments.
The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of toy hygiene education given to mothers of hospitalized children on their knowledge and practices, as well as the cleanliness of toy surfaces.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of virtual reality application on pain management, comfort, and care satisfaction in patients undergoing thyroidectomy-parathyroidectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the use of virtual reality reduce the level of postoperative pain in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? 2. Does the use of virtual reality increase the postoperative comfort level in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? 3. Does the use of virtual reality increase the level of satisfaction after surgery in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? Participants in the experimental group watched a virtual reality video containing nature and sea images and music playing in the background for 15 minutes. Participants in the control group received routine clinical care after thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. The pain levels of the patients in the experimental group were lower, and the comfort level was higher than in the control group. There was no difference between the groups in terms of satisfaction level with nursing care.
In this study, the effect of music on arterial blood pressure, anxiety level, fetal heart rate and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women with gestational hypertension will be studied and it will be conducted as a randomized controlled intervention study to examine the relationships with each other. The sample group will consist of 90 pregnant women, 45 in the intervention group and 45 in the control group. Within the scope of the study, the data will be collected using the 'Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI TX-I)', Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale (MFA) created by the researcher, and the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of each patient will be measured with a calibrated sphygmomanometer (the same sphygmomanometer was used for each patient), fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal movements (FM) will be measured by Electronic Fetal Monitoring and Nonstress test (NST). Data will be analyzed using SPSS-25 package.
To investigate the accuracy of shear-wave elastography (SWE) in diagnosing patellar tendinopathy in female volleyball and basketball players. In addition, we want to compare different parts of the patellar tendon and investigated the effects of different knee angles.
This study was planned to determine the effect of emotional freedom technique (EFT) on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy in primiparous women in the early postpartum period who had a cesarean delivery.
Aimed to determine the effect of sexual education based on the EX-PLISSIT model on sexual function and sexual satisfaction in women with multiple sclerosis. The present study was a pretest-posttest randomized controlled study. Conducted between June and August 2023 in Turkey. The participants were MS patients who were women 18-49 years old. The intervention (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20). The intervention group received sexual counseling based on the EX-PLISSIT model. The model consists of four levels. The levels are permission, limited information, specific suggestions and intensive therapy. Counseling was presented in six to eight sessions according to the women's sexual problems. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale were used to measure the sexual function and sexual satisfaction of the participants. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. P values below 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
The study will be conducted with the randomized controlled experimental method. The children who attended the pediatric department will divide into two groups via randomization in the computer environment. After random selection, children in the intervention group will play a therapeutic game before the lumbar puncture procedure. Children in the control group will not undergo any procedure before the lumbar puncture procedure. Parents will be present with their children in both groups during the procedure. While the child's anxiety and fear level is measured, the parent's anxiety level will also be measured.
Introduction: Musculoskeletal problems in the upper limb (UL) caused by nerve damage following Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury (OBPI) and disorders affecting the use of the UL can limit activities of daily living (ADLs) and limit the child's participation in school and society. Method: Twenty-six children with OBPY aged between 6-17 years participated in the study and were randomised AOT and Photo Observation (PO) groups in equal numbers by stratified randomisation. In the 15-session treatment, a total of 18 ADL activities related to personal care, dressing, eating and preparation, transfer and mobilisation activities, reaching, and sports activities were studied with six exercises per session. The AOT group watched each ADL activity for two minutes through pre-prepared videos and then repeated the movement they watched for three minutes. The PO group observed the photographs taken from the video for two minutes and then practised the movement described for three minutes. The same sequence was continued for six exercises and one session was completed in approximately 30 minutes. Abilhand-Kids (AK), Seated Medicine Ball Throw (SMBT), Modified Push-up Test (MPT), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Lateral Reach Test (LRT), Brachial Plexus Outcome Measurement (BPOM), Gilbert and Raimondi Score (GRS), Box Block Test (BBT) were performed before and after the treatment.
