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.
This is a parallel, Phase 3, two-arm study for the treatment of newly diagnosed moderate or severe chronic GVHD. The study duration for a participant includes up to 4 weeks for screening; a treatment period until clinically meaningful cGVHD progression (defined as progression requiring addition of new systemic treatment for cGVHD), relapse/recurrence of the underlying disease, participant starts new systemic treatment for cGVHD or experiences an unacceptable toxicity, at the request of the participants or the investigators, or until the end of study is reached, whichever comes first; at least 30 days follow-up of adverse events (AEs) after the last dose until resolution or stabilization, if applicable; and long-term follow-up until death or study close-out, whichever comes first.
The study was planned to determine the effects of closed aspiration on arterial blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation level and pain in intensive care patients connected to mechanical ventilators. IThe effects of the closed aspiration system on hemodynamic parameters and pain will be determined and the results will be important in terms of the usability of the closed system in the clinical environment and raising awareness in nursing practices in order to create minimum complications for the patient.
Dementia, which leads to deterioration in cognitive and behavioral functions, is a chronic progressive disease. Since the diagnosis is made, the care needs of the patients increase. In the later stages of the disease, it becomes completely dependent on the caregiver. they are coming. Caregiving is performed by family members in developing countries such as Turkey. Family members face many difficulties in their social, work, and daily lives after they start to care. These difficulties are the burden of caregiving is called. Caregivers who perceive the burden of care also experience anxiety, stress, and depression. Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation in coping with these problems exercises can be used. This study was planned to examine the effects of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on anxiety, stress, depression, and caregiver burden in dementia caregivers.
In this regard, we think that escape room games and role playing gamification methods used in nursing education can be effective in gaining these skills. For this reason, we aim to evaluate the effect of training on diagnosing and evaluating violence against women, given using escape room game and role-playing methods, on nursing students' skills in diagnosing and evaluating violence against women and their attitudes towards violence. The research is a pre-test-post-test randomized controlled, factorial group experimental study.
Decreases in body muscle mass, function and strength occur with ageing and this condition is called "sarcopenia". It is known that sarcopenic elderly people fall more than non-sarcopenic elderly people, their balance is negatively affected, their diaphragm thickness decreases and their quality of life may decrease due to their lower functional capacity. Although exercise training, which is considered among the approaches in the treatment of sarcopenia, has been shown to be an effective method, the effects of inspiratory muscle training applied at different intensities are relatively limited. Therefore, in this study, we are investigating the effects of low [30% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP)] and moderate (50% of MIP) inspiratory muscle training on respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, physical performance, functional capacity, balance, fear of falling, quality of life, diaphragm thickness and stiffness in sarcopenic elderly. In this study, participants are randomly divided into 3 groups: a low-intensity inspiratory muscle training group, a moderate-intensity inspiratory muscle training group and control (sham) group by simple random method after being evaluated for respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, physical performance, functional capacity, balance, fear of falling, quality of life, diaphragm thickness and stiffness.
Epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders in childhood, is a chronic brain disease characterized by neurobiological, psychological and cognitive effects. Neuropeptide-Y (NPY) and neural growth factor (NGF) play a role in different pathological processes seen in epileptogenesis. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), a quantitative indicator of brain damage, has been shown to exhibit elevated serum levels in individuals with epilepsy and is associated with cognitive functions. It is reported that the glymphatic system, which is associated with epileptic seizures, is a treatment method that can prevent cognitive impairment by preventing the accumulation of toxic waste proteins. Inspiratory muscle training, one of the respiratory physiotherapy techniques, is used as supportive treatment in patients with weak respiratory muscle strength. Weakness in respiratory muscle strength has also been detected in the epilepsy group in which the glymphatic system is affected. 40 children with epilepsy who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate in the study will participate. Children with epilepsy will be divided into two groups: experimental group (n = 20) and control group (n = 20) using the block randomization method. The experimental group will be given Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) with the Threshold device for 30 minutes every day for 8 weeks after routine medication use. The control group will be followed only with routine medication use. Demographic information of all participants will be recorded. Respiratory function will be evaluated with a portable spirometer device, respiratory muscle strength will be evaluated with a portable electronic mouth pressure measurement device, and cognitive performance will be evaluated with the Serial Digit Learning Test (SDLT). Biochemical analyses; Serum levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE), neuropeptide-Y (NPY) and neural growth factor (NGF) will be determined with an ELISA kit set. The glymphatic system will be evaluated with Diffusion Tensor Imaging Analysis Across the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS). In both groups, the initial evaluations will be repeated after 8 weeks. This research project was planned to prevent the development of seizures and improve biochemical parameters, glymphatic system dysfunction and cognitive functions with inspiratory muscle training in pediatric epilepsy patients.
The aim of the observational study is to compare static, kinematic and kinetic parameters with normal gait parameters in cases with Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) and Diparetic Cerebral Palsy (DCP) who have Gross Motor Function Classification System 1 level with the 3D Gait Analysis method, and to enable the early diagnosis of DCP and ITW. Male and female cases aged between 3-18 years will be included. This study will be carried out at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital.
Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome(OHS) is a disease characterized by daytime hypercapnia and sleep-disordered breathing without other causes of hypoventilation in individuals with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2. Sources state that obesity is at the basis of the metabolic changes seen in individuals with OHS. Obesity, together with cardiovascular system complications, lung volumes, work of breathing and sleep quality, creating the basis for respiratory problems. In addition, sedentary lifestyle habits, which are common in obese individuals, cause negative effects on exercise capacity and peripheral muscle strength. It has been shown in the literature that decreased exercise capacity due to obesity strongly interacts with the risk of all-cause mortality. As a result of obesity and all this negative picture, impaired emotional state and decreased quality of life are observed in individuals. Numerous studies have shown that obese individuals generally have a low level of physical activity, there is a decrease in peripheral muscle strength, obese individuals are at risk for sleep-related respiratory problems and health-related quality of life is often negatively affected in obese individuals. With these studies, the effects of obesity on individuals have been evaluated with objective evaluation methods. However, the same cannot be said for OHS. It is not clear how exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength and quality of life parameters, which are known to be negatively affected by obesity, are affected in individuals with OHS. Based on this point, this study aims to investigate whether OHS has an additional effect on exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength and quality of life in addition to obesity.
