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.
Introduction: Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a well-established technique with a history spanning over a century, primarily used to manipulate the vestibular system. Recent interest has surged in its potential for understanding human vestibular function and aiding in functional recovery. GVS applies electrical currents to the mastoid region, modulating vestibular afferents, and induces specific effects based on the participant's posture and current polarity. While GVS's impact on the central nervous system and its potential to aid in functional recovery have been studied, its immediate effects on vestibular reflexes remain less explored. Methods: In this study, thirty healthy adult participants underwent ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) tests, as well as the velocity Head Impulse Test (vHIT) before and immediately after one hour of GVS application. Statistical analyses were performed to assess changes in VEMP and vHIT results.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of an exercise-oriented training on physical activity level and exercise awareness in overweight and obese women. Participants will randomized into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) and followed-up for three months. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) will be applied to both groups at the beginning and end of the study to determine the level of physical activity, and the Exercise Health Belief Model Scale (EHBM) will be applied to evaluate the exercise awareness level, and anthropometric measurements (weight, body mass index, waist circumference) will recorded. The CG will receive no other interventions other than routine recommendations. The IG will be given face-to-face training to increase exercise awareness along with routine recommendations after the first meeting, and they will be contacted by phone every two weeks for three months.
The aim in the study is to evaluate the presence of sarcopenia in patients receiving home health care; To evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia and age, disease duration, and cause of immobility. In the literature review, a limited number of studies evaluating sarcopenia in home health patients were found.
Skin injury due to the use of medical adhesives is a common but under recognized complication in children. To prevent central venous catheter-related complications, care interventions should be planned in such a way that they do not lead to medical adhesive-related skin injury. Systematic administration of preventive care interventions is needed to reduce skin injuries associated with medical adhesive used for central venous catheter fixation. The SECURE Care Bundle has been developed by researchers based on the latest evidence to prevent medical adhesive-related skin injuries associated with central venous catheter fixation in children. The SECURE Care Bundle is a systematic approach to care that includes checking the skin, assessing risk factors, correctly applying and removing medical adhesives and registering medical adhesive related skin injury. The goal of this randomized controlled trial study is to evaluate about SECURE care bundle in preventing medical adhesive-related skin injury due to central venous catheter fixation in children. The main questions it aims to answer are 1. Is the SECURE Care Bundle effective in reducing the incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injuries due to central venous catheter fixation? 2. Does the SECURE Care Bundle have an effect on the first central venous catheter dressing change time? Data will collect after the parents of the children who meet the case selection criteria will inform about the research, their oral and written consents will be obtained through the "Informed Consent Form". Researchers will compare the SECURE Care Bundle group to the standard care group to see medical adhesive-related skin injury due to central venous catheter fixation.
Although there are many studies evaluating the effects of earthquakes and earthquakes on humans in our country and in the world, studies evaluating the effects of earthquakes on children with physical disabilities and parents of children with physical disabilities are limited. It is reported that the psychological resilience levels of mothers with disabled children and their level of preparedness for disasters (earthquake, flood, etc.) are low. For this reason, it is important to raise awareness about earthquake preparedness in mothers. This study aims to evaluate the effect of earthquake preparedness training to be given to parents with physically disabled children on the psychological resilience and disaster preparedness levels of mothers.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common outcome of general anesthesia in patients who undergo endotracheal intubation, and the estimated risk varies between 14.4% and 62%. It is one of the most undesirable postoperative anesthesia complications and has a negative impact on patient satisfaction and quality. Mucosal damage, inflammation, and erosion caused by endotracheal intubation all contribute to the development of POST. Therefore, POST is a condition that requires prevention and improvement. In the study, patients will be divided into two groups. The investigators will include 100 patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. The first group will receive 40 mg of lidocaine HCl solution 5 minutes before endotracheal intubation, while the second group will receive standard anesthesia management as the control group. Throat pain assessment will be conducted in patients at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery.
The present study was conducted to determine the effects of online video-assisted breastfeeding education on breastfeeding self-efficacy in primiparous pregnant women.
In our study, patients who are intubated using VLM and Fastrack LMA for intubation purposes will be included. The placement times, intubation times, and the number of failed attempts for both devices will be recorded. Additionally, postoperative complications (sore throat, hoarseness, nausea-vomiting, additional antiemetic medication requirements, etc.) will be monitored and recorded.
The aim of this study was to establish reference values for three compartments of the abdominal skeletal muscle area (psoas muscle area, paraspinal muscle area, and total skeletal muscle area) obtained from cross-sectional Computed tomography images in Turkish Children
The primary aim of this study is to determine the transcranial direct current stimulation and transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation in addition to robot-assisted walking training in individuals with Multiple sclerosis; to examine the effects on motor functions against each other and sham application. Secondary aim of this study is to show the relation of these effects with tDCS and ts-DCS through fatigue and quality of life evaluations.
