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.
Background: Our study aims to determine the effect of relaxation and breathing exercises in addition to the treatment procedure on depression level, sleep quality, and spasticity in hemiplegic patients. Methods: Thirty patients aged 40-70 years diagnosed with hemiplegia were included in the study. All patients received the same Bobath exercise three days a week for six weeks. Patients in Group 2 additionally received breathing and relaxation exercises. Sleep quality assessment by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI), depression by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and spasticity by Modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were used. All assessments were made at baseline and six weeks after exercise treatments.
The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive function, functional capacity, cognitive reserve and reaction time in patients with multiple sclerosis.
The aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the hand ability scale in the elderly population. Thus, the psychometric properties of the scale, which evaluates hand use in daily life activities in detail and functionally, will be determined in the elderly and an alternative method will be created to evaluate hand functions in the elderly.The sample of the study consists of 220 elderly individuals aged 65 and over residing in the city center of Isparta. Two independent native Turkish translators performed forward translation. To ensure clinical consistency, it was sent to an expert committee of seven expert physiotherapists, 2 neurologists, 1 gerontologist, and 2 translators with no medical or clinical background to reveal vague concepts in the original questionnaire. A single consequent Turkish translation was formed from the combination of the two translations The Turkish scale was translated back into English by two English-native speakers who speak Turkish fluently, and the English version of the scale was compared to the original. A group of experts authorized the final version of the document in Turkish, which was back ward translation. Translators reviewed the translations and compared certain inconsistencies.
Idiopathic scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine that accounts for approximately 70% of all scoliosis anomalies, and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common type. AIS not only changes the shape of the trunk, but also the relationships between body parts. Considering the close anatomical relationship between the scapula and the rib cage, AIS is associated with changes in scapular position and orientation. Scapular stabilization exercises; these are exercises that aim to restore the position and orientation of the scapula and the motor control and movement pattern of the muscles, thus providing scapula stability for better shoulder kinematics. There are studies reporting that scapular stabilization exercises should be included in the rehabilitation program of patients with scapular dyskinesia and various shoulder pathologies. However, no study has been found in the literature examining the effects of scapular stabilization exercises on changes in scapular position, shoulder imbalance and curve severity seen in scoliosis. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate the effect of scapular stabilization exercises applied in addition to Schroth exercises used in the treatment of individuals with AIS, on scoliosis severity, scapula position and shoulder imbalance.
"The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the levels of microRNA-1 (miRNA-1) and microRNA-133a (miRNA-133a) after acute neuromuscular exercise (NME) in human saliva. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How do miRNA-1 and miRNA-133a levels change in response to acute neuromuscular exercise in human saliva? - Will the chosen training method have an acute effect in ultimate frisbee athletes? Participants will: - Undergo acute neuromuscular exercise (NME). - Provide saliva samples for miRNA analysis. Researchers will compare: MiRNA-1 and miRNA-133a levels before and after acute neuromuscular exercise (NME) to determine if exercise induces any significant changes in these microRNA levels."
It has been suggested that Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) may be an adjunctive marker to classical risk factors for the presence and severity of coronary artery disease. EAT thickness is also associated with MetS and hypertension, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and insulin resistance.Studies have shown that moderate-intensity and high-intensity aerobic exercise and resistance exercise training reduce EAT. However, aerobic and resistance exercises may be found challenging and demanding by individuals and in most cases, high or moderate intensity exercise may be considered difficult. In a study conducted in physically inactive individuals, it was concluded that there was a significant increase in heart rate and BP following spinal stabilisation exercises performed 4 days a week for a total of 8 sessions for 2 weeks, but the increase in these cardiac parameters would tend to decrease following regular exercise. In the current literature, there is no study evaluating the effect of spinal stabilisation exercise on EAT thickness, exercise capacity and cardiovascular parameters in individuals with HT. Barriers to access to healthcare services such as distance, time and cost can be overcome with technology. COVID-19 has accelerated the transition of many physiotherapy services to telerehabilitation. Evidence has shown that telerehabilitation is an effective delivery model for providing face-to-face physiotherapy services with equal or even superior outcomes, especially in musculoskeletal treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of spinal stabilisation exercise with telerehabilitation on EAT and exercise capacity in individuals with HT.
An epithelialized gingival graft will be harvested from the palate for the treatment of various mucogingival deformities. The donor site will be treated with either a combination of a collagen sponge and cyanoacrylate or a collagen sponge, cyanoacrylate, and suspending sutures. Intraoperatively, measurements will be taken for palatal tissue thickness, graft dimensions, working time, and primary bleeding time. Data regarding pain perception will be gauged using a visual analog scale, and the number of analgesics, secondary bleeding, epithelization level, and color match will be assessed prospectively. These outcomes will be evaluated on the first 7 days and subsequently on the 14th, 21st, and 28th days. Patient-reported outcomes will be recorded using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire.
Disability in daily living activities (ADL) is a typical issue among nursing care residents. The goal of this study was to look at the geriatric syndromes that cause incapacity in nursing home residents.
Birth enables women to assume the role of parent, but experiencing labor pain is seen as a very stressful event. Birth pain is described as one of the most severe pains women experience throughout their lives. Different pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used to cope with labor pain. Non-pharmacological coping includes physiological coping (such as breathing techniques, relaxation, postural changes, and movement during labor), psychological coping (including social support, increasing self-efficacy, and increasing self-confidence), and cognitive coping (including distraction, illustration). , and focus). Birth self-efficacy refers to the mother's confidence or perception in her own ability to give birth, which may influence her future birth choices. Women with high efficacy expectations (i.e., high confidence regarding childbirth) may use cognitive coping behaviors to cope with labor pain and therefore reduce the likelihood of medical intervention.It has been found that a woman's confidence in her ability to cope with childbirth contributes significantly to her perception of pain during labor and can foster a positive perception of birth. Pregnant women with low self-efficacy also have low self-confidence during birth, which negatively affects their ability to take an active role during birth and causes an increase in cesarean delivery rates. Various approaches such as antenatal training, cognitive behavioral approach, and psychoeducation program are used to reduce the negative consequences that fear of birth may cause and to help pregnant women cope with the fear of birth and increase birth self-efficacy. One of the approaches that include these strategies is seen as the motivational interviewing method. The motivational interviewing method is a goal-oriented and more participant-centered counseling approach that aims to facilitate and activate participants' intrinsic motivation to change their behavior. Motivational interviewing is a method that encourages the participant to think about changes that can be made, rather than the counselor offering suggestions. The basic concepts of motivational interviewing are that the participant recognizes and accepts the need to make changes in their lives; This approach encourages participants to consider whether they are ready to change their behavior.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Even minor breast surgery can cause significant postoperative pain (PP). PP can turn into chronic pain in 25-40% of cases. Inadequate PP control is associated with increased morbidity, delayed wound healing, prolonged hospital stay, increased opioid use and side effects, and high cost of care. Opioid use remains the mainstay of postoperative analgesia. Opioids, especially morphine, inhibit both cellular and humoral immune functions. This effect may be responsible for the high rates of local recurrence and/or metastasis after surgery. Additionally, studies have shown that perioperative opioid use is associated with social abuse. This demonstrates the importance of reducing perioperative opioid use. Currently, multimodal analgesia based on nerve block is being widely investigated and has shown encouraging clinical results. Numerous regional analgesic techniques have been investigated in breast cancer surgery, including intercostal nerve block, thoracic epidural anesthesia, and paravertebral block. Compared with general anesthesia alone, it reduces the postoperative pain score even after a single-shot injection for up to 72 hours, reduces opioid consumption, improves the quality of patient recovery, and suppresses the development or reduces the severity of chronic pain. Serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is reported to be effective in perioperative pain management of breast cancer surgeries. The important problem of SAPB block is that it is insufficient to block the anterior cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves. Therefore, intravenous analgesia is required. Thoracic transversus muscle plane block (TTPB) is a recently described fascial plane block used to anesthetize the anterior cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves from T2-T6. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated for breast surgery and median sternotomy. In our study, we will provide postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing breast surgery by applying the serratus anterior block in combination with the transversus thoracis plane block. Since we avoid complicated analgesia methods such as paravertebral block, the risk of complications will be reduced. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of the combination of SAPB and TTPB with SAPB performed alone in breast cancer surgery.
