There are about 14522 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 observational study is to determine whether there is decrease in muscle mass and muscle strength in Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) patients in comparison to controls. And to determine whether these parameters are correlated with clinical ones. Briefly the main questions investigators aims to answer are: - Is there a significant difference in muscle morphology between FMS and controls? - Is there a significant difference in muscle strength between FMS and controls? - Is there a relationship between muscle thickness and pennation angle of the Quadriceps, gastrocnemius medialis, gastrocnemius lateralis and Tibialis anterior muscles and disease activity, pain and functionality? - Is there a correlation between muscle strength in FMS and disease activity, pain and functionality?

The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the program reduce the level of burnout in teachers? - Does the program contribute to an increased sense of meaning for teachers? - How much of the program do teachers finish?
The clinical performance of an an alkasite-based restorative material and two different resin composites will be evaluated and compared in non-carious cervical lesions. After recruiting participants with at least three non-carious cervical lesions, all restorations will be placed by a single clinician. Lesions will be divided in three groups: an alkasite-based restorative material (Cention N, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein (CN)), hybrid resin composite (Gradia Direct Anterior, GC, Tokyo, Japan (GD)) and a highly filled flowable resin composite ((G-aenial Universal Flo, GC, Tokyo, Japan (GF)). All restorative procedures will be conducted according to manufacturers' instructions. Restorations will be scored using FDI criteria. Descriptive statistics will be performed using chi-square tests.
Foot massage or bed bath will be applied to improve sleep quality and reduce fatigue levels of individuals with cancer.
This study aims to investigate the maternal effects of membrane stripping during vaginal birth. This study was designed as an experimental case-control study. The sample size in the study was determined by Njoku et al in 2023 to assess the effectiveness of membrane stripping applied to participants who had vaginal birth in reducing the incidence of prolonged pregnancy. Calculated based on the study conducted by. The sample size of the study was calculated using G*Power 3.1.9.2, and the mean and standard deviation of the Bishop score in the relevant article were used to calculate the effect size. Using the mean and standard deviation of the relevant article, the blended effect size was calculated as 0.596. The minimum number of individuals that should be included in the sample of this research was calculated using G*Power 3.1.9.2, effect size: 0.596, α= 0.05, power: 0.95 (stripping = 70, control = 70) and at least in each group in the sample size. The sample size was set at 70 participants. The research data will be collected by the researcher using the Informed Volunteer Consent Form, Participant Information Form, Bishop Scoring, Visual Analogue Scale, and Birth Satisfaction Scale Short Form, which were created by the researcher within the framework of the literature on the subject.

This study aims to determine the effect of plyometric exercises on physical fitness parameters in freestyle adolescent wrestlers.
According to a news published by the World Health Organization (WHO); More than 2.3 million cases of breast cancer occur each year, making it the most common cancer among adults. In 95% of all countries, breast cancer is the first or second cause of female cancer death. In 2020, 2.3 million women worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 deaths occurred (WHO, 2023; https://www.who.int/news/item/03-02-2023-who-launches-new-roadmap- on-breast-cancer). In our country, breast cancer ranks first among the most common cancer types in women, and the number of breast cancer cases in women in 2020 was recorded as 74 638 (IARC, 2023). As a result of this situation, WHO (2023) published the Global Breast Cancer Initiative Framework to save 2.5 million lives from breast cancer by 2040. This published framework includes health promotion for early detection, timely diagnosis and comprehensive management of breast cancer. One of the most effective ways to reduce breast cancer mortality and morbidity rate is early diagnosis. It is important to determine early diagnosis and signs and symptoms of cancer before they appear. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is possible with breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination and mammography (Kayar, 2019). Breast self-examination is an important examination method in terms of detecting changes in breast tissue and preventing subsequent complications (Abo Al-Shiekh et al., 2021). It is also an easy-to-apply, cheap and non-invasive method. In our country, it is recommended that women regularly perform breast self-examination every month after the age of 20, women between the ages of 20 and 40 should have a clinical breast examination every two years, and women between the ages of 40 and 69 should have a clinical breast examination every year and have a mammogram every two years (Ministry of Health, 2019). . There are studies showing that fear of breast cancer has a positive and negative impact on early diagnosis behaviors (Champion et al., 2004; Yavan et al., 2010). Champion et al. (2004) stated that women with moderate breast cancer fear had a high rate of early detection behavior, whereas low and high fear levels had a negative effect on behavior. In the study conducted by Yavan et al. (2010) on 188 women, 2% of the women. They found that 3 of them had regular BSE and 78.7% of them had never had a mammography. In addition, 85% of the women included in the study stated that they had a fear of breast cancer due to a family history of breast cancer, being diagnosed with breast cancer, and the presence of risk factors. Study results show that fear of breast cancer affects screening results. Therefore, our aim in the study is; To determine the effect of breast cancer and BSE training given to women on breast cancer fear and BSE skills.
