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 purpose of the study is to assess the effect of acupuncture treatment combinated with conventional rehabilitation methods on gait, fatigue, quality of life and bladder functions in patients with multiple sclerosis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 compared to PPSV23 in children 2 through 17 years of age. Researchers want to learn if V116 is as good as, or is better than the PPSV23 vaccine in terms of the antibody immune response. V116 and PPSV23 will be studied in children and teenagers who have a higher risk of getting invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD).
The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effectiveness of the split-box technique in systemically healthy, non-smoking, over 18 years of age, participants with narrow crests (<5mm bone width) and adequate bone height (>12mm). The main questions it aims to answer are: - The primary objective of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of the split-box technique by evaluating the change in width and height of the alveolar bone. - The secondary objective is to evaluate the superiority of the split-box technique and its modifications in terms of the amount of bone gain. According to the 3D topography of the alveolar ridge of the patients before augmentation, split box or one of its modifications, reverse split box or sliding split box techniques were selected and applied. (split box was applied if the bone thickness was more than 3 mm at the top of the crest and did not increase towards the lower border at the alveolar bone, reverse split box technique was applied if the bone thickness was more than 3 mm at the top of the crest and increased towards the lower border at the alveolar bone, sliding split box was applied if the bone thickness was less than 3 mm at the top of the crest but the bone thickness increases towards the lower border at the alveolar bone.)
Nurses play an important role in patients; pain management during the peroperative period. In this process, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, patient-controlled analgesia and local anesthetics can be used pharmacologically in pain management. However, it has been reported in the literature that using pharmacological and non-pharmacological applications together in pain management has better positive effects on the patient. Hot application, cold application, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, massage, reiki, music therapy, aromatherapy are some of the non-pharmacological applications used to relieve pain in the postoperative period. Hot application is one of the effective, cheap and easy-to-use non-pharmacological methods in relieving pain. Hot applications can be made as dry hot, local wet and general wet applications. Foot bath with hot water is one of the non-pharmacological methods that nurses can apply to relieve post-operative patients; pain, reduce anxiety and stress levels, relax muscles and improve sleep quality. There are studies in the literature showing that heat application reduces pain levels and improves sleep quality in different patient groups. In the study of Aghamohammadi et al., it was found that a 20-minute hot foot bath applied to women in menopause improved sleep quality. In the study of Han et al., it was found that hot foot bath with aromatherapy applied to patients with edema in the lower extremities significantly reduced pain and edema. In the study of Soonyoung and Myoungjin, it was determined that hot water foot bath applied to patients who underwent hand replantation reduced the pain of the patients. In another study, hand and foot baths after cesarean section were effective in reducing the pain of patients. When the literature was examined, no study was found examining the effect of hot foot bath on anxiety, pain, sleep and comfort levels after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In this context, this study was planned and conducted to determine the effect of hot foot bath on pain, anxiety, sleep and comfort levels in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
In this study the plan is to compare the circumcision performed with Alisklamp versus Dorsal Slit Sleeve method in terms of age, co-existing health conditions, surgery time, recovery period, tissue edema and bleeding, postoperative infection, wound healing, wound dehiscence, skin tunnel, and overall complications.
In this study, the investigators compared ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block and rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) on postoperative analgesic effect in unilateral breast surgery.
Thoracotomy is among the most painful surgical procedures and can cause severe pain. Postoperative pain causes many complications. Therefore, pain management is important in patients undergoing thoracotomy. For this purpose, systemic analgesics are used along with ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in thoracotomy pain. The effectiveness of thoracic paravertebral block and serratus plane block in the treatment of post-thoracotomy pain will be evaluated by comparing their effectiveness and complications on postoperative pain. Since the epidural spread of the thoracic paravertebral block is more effective, the effectiveness of postoperative pain relief will be more effective
H-coil high-frequency deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) over the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. At the same time, there are studies in the literature showing the effectiveness of intermittent theta burst stimulation application and the advantages of short treatment duration. However, there is no strong scientific evidence yet on the effectiveness and safety of iTBS (50 Hz) application with a double-cone coil in obsessive-compulsive disorder patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of dTMS with ITBS protocol on the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in OCD patients.
Transumbilical laparoscopic appendectomy (TULA) is increasingly favored in the treatment of appendicitis within the realm of minimally invasive surgical approaches. This procedure offers advantages such as superior cosmetic outcomes and reduced postoperative pain. However, like all surgical interventions, it carries the inherent risk of surgical site infections (SSI), which pose significant challenges to patient health and healthcare systems by escalating treatment costs, prolonging recovery, and increasing morbidity rates. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the "glove finger method" in mitigating SSI risk in TULA. The rationale for this study is predicated on the hypothesis that the glove finger method could serve as a simple and cost-effective measure offering potential protection against SSIs. When compared to traditional methods, this technique may not only reduce surgical duration but also diminish the risk of SSIs, thereby potentially decreasing hospital stay durations. Furthermore, enhancing the understanding of factors contributing to the development of SSIs and developing effective strategies for their prevention can elevate patient care quality and alleviate the burden on healthcare systems.
Objective: The aim of this project was to determine the effect of clinic or self-sampling on attendance, attitudes, and anxiety in cervical cancer screening.
