Nonspecific low back pain is defined as low back pain that cannot be associated with a specific identified pathology. Many methods such as patient education, medical treatment, physical modalities, exercise, manual therapy, massage, traction and cognitive behavioral therapy are used in the treatment of nonspecific low back pain. Spinal stabilization exercises, which are among the therapeutic exercises, aim to improve and improve muscle control to compensate for any loss of muscle movement caused by degenerative changes or injury. Perturbation training, which is among the neuromuscular exercises, is an intervention that aims to improve the control of rapid balance reactions and involves repetitive postural distortions. In perturbation training, the surface is moved in multiple directions with different forces and moments. The aim of this exercise is to develop the stabilization response that will be created by stresses applied from different directions. It is believed that the number of motor units participating in contraction and proprioceptive input will increase with perturbation exercise. Although the number of studies on low back pain is quite limited, it has been stated that applications that provide perturbation can reduce the incidence of low back pain and provide improvement in neuromuscular control of spinal stability. In the light of these data, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of perturbation training given in addition to the exercise program on trunk muscle endurance, pain, disability, functionality, fear avoidance beliefs and quality of life parameters in individuals with nonspecific low back pain.
Restless legs syndrome is a symptom that can be seen in all stages of a woman's life, but its frequency and severity increases with menopause. Restless legs syndrome is a neurological problem that occurs usually at night with an irresistible urge to move the legs. It is a progressive muscle relaxation exercise. Progressive muscle relaxation exercise is a systematic practice aimed at providing deep relaxation by exercising large muscle groups in the body along with breathing techniques. This study aims to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise on the severity of restless legs syndrome, quality of life and sleep quality related to restless legs syndrome in menopausal women with restless legs syndrome.
The primary aim of this research is to objectively assess the impact of virtual reality (VR) technology on pain symptoms in tension-type headache patients. This study is designed to understand the potential of VR in the treatment of tension-type headaches, exploring its ability to reduce pain severity and improve patients' quality of life.
Women's psycho-social health during pregnancy could influence the course of pregnancy, psychological and emotional life, not only in labor but also during the postpartum period. Women's perception of birth and their self-efficacy may affect the birth and postpartum period, and their delivery preference. The study aims to examine the effect of solution-oriented approach training on traumatic birth perception, vaginal birth selfefficacy, and delivery preference. It was designed in a randomized controlled experimental type. The sample in the study will comprise 80 pregnant women (40 experimental and 40 control groups) with the help of power analysis. The study is going to be conducted with pregnant women applying to KTU Farabi Hospital between May and December 2022. 6-8 sessions of solution-oriented approach training will be given to pregnant women with 28 weeks of gestation and above and willing to take part in the study, and their delivery preferences will be examined, afterward. The pregnant women in the control group, on the other hand, will not be subjected to any training or interview other than routine pregnancy follow-ups. Data will be gathered through the Pregnant introductory information form, traumatic birth perception scale form, and vaginal birth self-efficacy form. Ethics Committee Permission, institutional permission from the institution where the research will be conducted, and written informed consent from the mothers will be obtained before the research. The data will be statistically evaluated through the SPSS 23 program. Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U tests will be applied for two independent groups. One A Way or Kruskal-Wallis tests will be applied for three or more independent groups, depending on whether the data meet the parametric conditions. Paired T or Wilcoxon tests will be used for two dependent groups, and Friedman or Repeat Measure tests will be applied for three or more groups. In statistical evaluation, p<0.05 will be considered significant.
The aim of this project was to determine the effect of the burn prevention and first aid mobile application developed for families living in tent cities and container houses after the earthquake on the burn prevention and first aid knowledge of families and the development of burns in the first two months after the mobile application. The research was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of families living in tent cities and container houses in Şanlıurfa. As a result of the power analysis performed in the G*Power program, the sample group will consist of 30 families from the tent city and 30 families from the container city, taking into account the losses with a power of 90% and a maximum bidirectional 5% type error. All of the families (30 mobile application-study group; 30 control group) who make up the sample of the research will be given a training (powerpoint presentation) prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and burn prevention and first aid practices will be explained and their questions will be answered. Then, the training to be given with the mobile application will be downloaded to the phones of the families in the experimental group and the training will continue through the application. In the study, data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Information Form on Burn Prevention and First Aid" and "Burn Development Follow-up Form", which include the descriptive information of the families. The data obtained from the study will be analyzed in computer environment.
Objective: The study was carried out to determine the effect of drinking warm water on GIS functions in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.
Virtual reality systems have been applied in recent years to reduce pain intensity and fear of movement in individuals with acute and chronic pain. The main mechanism of virtual reality methods in pain control is to provide the effect of distraction from pain. Virtual reality systems allow the individuals to feel themselves in a different environment and shift their attention to the game they are playing or the virtual world created rather than the pain they feel. This is thought to be the main mechanism of pain control. However, the cortical mechanism of the reduction in pain caused by virtual reality methods, especially in individuals with chronic pain, has not been fully elucidated. It is predicted that the integration of virtual reality methods into treatment protocols will gradually increase by time, especially as a result of the reflection of technological developments in clinical practice. At this point, fNIRS, which enables the assessment of the functionality of brain areas during movement, has the potential to reveal the response of the effect provided by virtual reality technology in the prefrontal cortex. The aims of our study were to examine brain hemodynamic activity during the experience of non-immersive and immersive virtual reality environments and the change in pain intensity after virtual reality applications in individuals with rheumatic diseases with chronic pain.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of color therapy on quality of life, anxiety and fatigue levels in patients with Parkinson's disease.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of Watson Human Caring Model-based psychoeducation given to the relatives of patients receiving palliative care on hopelessness, death anxiety and the burden of care.
In recent years, motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) therapy strategies have been used in rehabilitation programs to increase motor learning in Parkinson's disease (PD). Visuomotor training strategies such as AO and MI therapy rely on the activity of the mirror neuron system to facilitate motor re-learning. Mirror neurons are activated during the performance of goal-directed actions, also when observing the same action and visualizing the action in the mind. The aim of this clinical trial is to test whether the application of AO and MI treatment in PD in addition to conventional rehabilitation programs has an additional effect on Balance, Functional Status and Quality of Life.
