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 goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the new bone formation around a metal device in the femoral head in patients with osteoporotic hip fractures undergoing surgical treatment with nails. These surgeries have a high risk of fixation failure in patients with osteoporosis due to low bone quality. The main question we aim to answer are whether promoting new bone formation around the implant is possible with a bone graft substitute (CERAMENT™ Bone Void Filler) and systemic osteoporosis drug (zoledronic acid) combination, which can strengthen the surgical fixation of the fracture. Participants will consist of patients suffering hip fracture and already scheduled for surgical treatment with a nail. One group will undergo conventional surgery. While the other group will also undergo the same surgery, they will receive CERAMENT™ Bone Void Filler around the implant as a short, extra step during surgery. This will allow the researchers to see whether new bone is formed during a 6-month follow-up.
This study aims to investigate the correlation between COVID-19 and dysphagia in adults. The population of the study consisted of those who applied to Bezmialem University, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Dysphagia Outpatient Clinic with the complaint of dysphagia. Patients older than 18 years of age, suffering from dysphagia and not having mental retardation were included in the study. Patients who did not have swallowing difficulties and refused to participate in the study were excluded.
Objective This study aimed to compare the effects of connective tissue massage and classical massage on pain, functional status and quality of life in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Methods The study included 30 participants diagnosed with chronic non-specific low back pain. Participants were randomly divided into three groups: classical massage (n=10), connective tissue massage (n=10), and control groups (n=10). The control group received standart physical therapy only. All interventions were administered over a period of 3 days per week for 4 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 15-20 minutes. All assessments were performed at baseline and at the end of 4 weeks. For all participants, the severity of pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, the level of impaired function was measured using the Functional Low Back Pain Scale, lumbar mobility was evaluated with the Modified Schober Test and Sit and Reach Test, physical disabilities were gauged using the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, and the quality of life was assessed using the Short Form-36 Quality of Life questionnaire.
Background: Chronic shoulder pain (CSP) is a musculoskeletal disease characterized by pain lasting more than 3 months. Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether pre-treatment injection in CSP treatment contributes to pain, functionality and quality of life. Methods: A total of 110 patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study were divided into 2 groups (55 patients in each group). A standard 15-session physical therapy program (hot pack, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation(TENS), US and therapeutic exercises) was applied to all patients in both groups. Suprascapular Nerve Block was applied to Group I before treatment. Assessments were made using VAS-Pain, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) before and at the end of the treatment and in the posttreatment 3th months.
The goal of this observational study is to determine the relationship between the nutritional profile of critically ill patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and disease severity, prognosis, and survival, to assess the ability to meet nutritional goals, EN complications, and reasons for discontinuation and postponement of feeding. The main questions aim to answer are the relationship between the duration of EN initiation and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) score, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), oxygenation status, MV, ICU, and length of hospital stay, overall mortality, and whether nutritional goals were met, EN complications, and reasons for discontinuation and postponement.
To evaluate the relationship between women's labium minora and clitoral hood measurements and Female Genital Self Image Scale (FGSIS) scores.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the local application of bee products in the care of diaper dermatitis in infants. 1. H1: Barrier cream 1, consisting of a mixture of propolis, beeswax, queen bee larva and plants oil used in the care of diaper dermatitis, is more effective in recovering diaper dermatitis than barrier cream 2 containing zinc oxide. 2. H2: Barrier cream 1, consisting of a mixture of propolis, beeswax, queen bee larva and plants oil used in the care of diaper dermatitis, is more effective in recovering diaper dermatitis than olive oil. 3. H3: Diaper Dermatitis Severity Assessment Scale scores are lower in babies who use barrier cream 1, which consists of a mixture of propolis, beeswax, queen bee larva and plants oil, in the care of diaper dermatitis, compared to babies who use barrier cream 2, which contains zinc oxide. 4. H4: Diaper Dermatitis Severity Assessment Scale scores are lower in babies who use barrier cream 1, which consists of a mixture of propolis, beeswax, queen bee larva and plants oil, in the care of diaper dermatitis, than babies who use olive oil.
surgical intervention; It is defined as an emergency or planned treatment method for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment and symptom reduction in cases of deformity, injury, and disease with hands and tools. Although these interventions are practices aimed at protecting life, whether it is large or small, urgent or planned, it is both physiological and psychological trauma for the patient. The decision of surgical intervention may cause anxiety in individuals regardless of the type of surgical procedure. Fear of anesthesia, fear of death, possibility of postoperative complications, pain, changes in activities of daily living, loss of social life and loss of control may cause anxiety. Reiki, a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) method, is a bioenergy based on the body's energy use and has been used for centuries in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases in various cultures. Reiki is thought to help balance the body's natural energy systems and reduce anxiety by transferring existing energy through the hands. Studies on the effectiveness of reiki, which is increasingly used worldwide and recommended as a treatment approach in health care, are insufficient. The aim of this study, which was planned as a three-group interventional randomized control, was to evaluate the effect of reiki on surgical fear and anxiety of patients who will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of eating disorders on occupational balance in university students. Occupational balance levels will be compared in university students with and without eating disorders. The study will be finalized with the voluntary participation of 105 university students for both groups and 210 university students in total. The relationship between eating disorder tendencies and occupational balance in university students will be examined.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of Manual Therapy Based on the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) by comparing it with Core Stabilization Training (CST) or Control in individuals with temporomandibular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the efficacy of the addition of FDM-based Manual Therapy to conventional therapy different from the addition of CST or control? - Is the efficacy of the addition of CST to conventional therapy different from the addition of FDM or control? All participants in the intervention groups will be given eight-week conventional therapy (Rocabado Exercises and Patient Education) in addition to FDM-based Manual Therapy or CST. Participants in the control group will not be given any therapy during the study. Pain intensity, TMD severity, head posture, function, and disability will be assessed.
