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 World Health Organization has defined the period between the ages of 10-19 as adolescence, 15-24 years as youth and 10-24 years as youth period. Adolescence is divided into 3 periods: early adolescence (10-13 years), middle adolescence (14-16 years) and late adolescence (17-21 years). HIV virus and AIDS, which have become a problem among sexually transmitted diseases all over the world, have increased the importance of controlling sexually transmitted diseases. There is a strong correlation between the spread of STDs through traditional means and the transmission of HIV; and sexually transmitted diseases have been found to increase the risk of sexual transmission of HIV. According to WHO data, 340 million treatable STDs, millions of incurable STDs and 5 million HIV cases occur worldwide each year.
Neurogenic bladder is a condition that occurs due to nerve damage or congenital problems and causes urination disorders. Nowadays, in individuals diagnosed with neurogenic bladder, Clean Intermittent Catheterization is often used to evacuate the urine accumulated in the bladder. Clean Intermittent Catheterization(CIC) is a simple, safe and effective method in which the catheter is placed through the meatus. In this application, the catheter is removed without waiting after urine drainage is achieved. This process is usually performed on its own. Since IC(Intermittent Catheterization) is a procedure performed on the bladder, it may cause some complications. IC application must be performed successfully to prevent or reduce complications. The success of the technique largely depends on patient education and follow-up. Sometimes patients may not be able to come to the hospital for follow-up and feedback after IC training. Innovations are needed to ensure the continuation of distance education so that the education of patients who cannot come to the hospital is not incomplete. The literature includes brochures, videos, websites and some mobile applications for IC training. However, no application has been found that monitors patients' urine amounts. This research was planned to examine the effect of clean intermittent catheterization training given via mobile application to individuals with spinal cord injury on their quality of life and compliance.
Pelvic pain caused by endometriosis is a common symptom and reduces women's quality of life. EFT is a method that can be preferred in pelvic pain due to its ease of use and low cost. Raising women's awareness for EFT
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional, multifactorial disease that becomes more prevalent in adolescents, disrupts the three-dimensional mechanism and posture of the vertebra, causes deterioration in the person's body perception and cosmetic perception, and also causes negative effects on social life and quality of life. Although idiopathic scoliosis is more common during adolescence, its cause is not yet known. It is divided into three subheadings according to the age of onset. These are respectively; It is classified as Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis (0-3 years), Infantile Idiopathic Scoliosis (4-10 years), Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (10 years and above). The most common one is Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Its incidence in girls is 4 times higher than in boys. This study aimed to examine the effects of body image and self-esteem on quality of life in idiopathic adolescent scoliosis patients and to determine whether there is a difference between genders. Additionally, it will be examined what effect the duration of corset use has on these parameters.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of malignancy in men. Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSG-PBx) is considered the current gold standard method in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Some patients experience serious discomfort during the procedure because the ultrasound probe is placed in the rectal area. Although no anesthetic or analgesic is used in some centers during the prostate biopsy procedure, in some centers lidocaine gel, cream or spray is applied before entering the rectal area, and lidocaine ampoule is injected during the procedure. However, most patients experience pain and discomfort due to the way the procedure is performed. Today, in addition to pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological methods are also used to control pain. Cold application has an important place among non-pharmacological methods. In this randomized controlled intervention study, the effect of cold lidocaine gel application on pain level in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSG-PBx) will be evaluated. In this study, it is thought that application of cold lidocaine gel will reduce the pain level of patients. The research will be conducted at the Urology Polyclinic of Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine Balcalı Practice and Research Hospital. The sample of the research; Ç.Ü.T.F. Volunteer patients who have undergone prostate biopsy at the Urology Polyclinic of Balcalı Practice and Research Hospital and meet the research criteria will be recruited. Patients consisting of 3 groups: control, experiment 1 (Lidocaine Gel) and experiment 2 (Cold Lidocaine Gel) will be determined by randomization. A power analysis was carried out by obtaining statistical support for the sample size. As a result of the sample calculation calculated with power with a confidence interval of 95%, beta value of 95% and alpha value of 0.05, a total of 114 patients will be included, 38 each in the control group, Lidocaine gel and Cold Lidocaine Gel groups. . Data will be collected with the "Personal Information Form" and "Pain Assessment Form". The data will be analyzed in the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program. In this context, in our study, the effect of lidocaine gel and cold lidocaine gel applied to the rectal area on the pain level in patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy will be evaluated and the effect of cold application on pain control will be compared. This result will make great contributions to patient benefit in terms of pain management.
It is widely recognized that the use of non-pharmacological methods in neonatal pain management is low both globally and in our country. Nurses play a crucial role in managing pain through various techniques and in preventing its negative effects on newborns. Toys with sounds, lights, and different features have been found to effectively capture infants' attention. Consequently, it is anticipated that baby crib mobiles, which combine these attention-grabbing features, could serve as effective distractions during needle interventions, potentially reducing pain and stress. However, there is a lack of research on this specific application.
This study aimed to investigate whether laser and neuromuscular electrical nerve stimulation applied in addition to conventional physical therapy exercises in hemiplegic shoulder pain seen in patients with stroke provides an additional contribution to pain, range of motion, spasticity, upper extremity functions and whether the two treatment types are superior to each other.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of perineal protection package application on labor outcomes, perineal integrity, postpartum urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle strength.In this study, a package including practices that have been proven to protect the perineum in labor was created and it was aimed to examine the effect of this perineal protection package; as a whole. The;perineal protective package; applications created by the researchers consisted of positioning on the gynecologic table (the back of the table was erected, the legs were removed from the hooks and placed on the sides of the table), open glottis pushing instead of closed glottis pushing, hot compress protection of the perineum instead of dry compress protection of the perineum, instead of lithotomy position in the second stage, which reduces the tension of the perineum and allows it to be observed and protected manually.
In this study, 100 hemodialysis patients aged between 18-65 were examined. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the exercise group and the control group. The exercise group performed moderate-intensity aerobic exercises for 30 minutes three times a week during hemodialysis sessions. Additionally, they engaged in walking exercises for 30 minutes three times a week outside of hemodialysis sessions, maintaining their heart rate between 50-60%. The exercise group also performed isolated exercises to expand wrist vessels 2-3 days a week outside of hemodialysis sessions. The vessel diameters of the patients were measured by ultrasound at the beginning and after 12 weeks.
