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 literature does not provide sufficient information on the evaluation of frailty, handgrip strength, physical activity, kinesiophobia, and fatigue in elderly individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and asymptomatic elderly individuals. Additionally, there is a gap in the literature regarding the impact of COPD on these parameters in geriatric individuals diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease . To fill this gap in the literature and to establish treatment approaches based on the results of parameters studied in elderly individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in future studies.
The application of the WALANT technique for foot and ankle surgery (joint fusion, implant removal and tendon repair, etc.) is limited. In our study, using the WALANT technique for ARIF in ankle fractures. The effect of this application on clinical outcomes will be prospectively evaluated.
Nausea and vomiting are one of the most common symptoms in acute pancreatitis. In addition to pharmacological methods for nausea and vomiting, non-pharmacological methods can also be used. Among these, anticipatory nausea and vomiting can be prevented by behaviors aimed at distracting attention. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of chewing gum on the severity of nausea-vomiting and thirst in patients with acute pancreatitis. The study will be conducted with a total of 60 patients, 30 intervention and 30 control. Patients in the intervention group will chew xylitol gum five times a day for three days. The patients' thirst and nausea and vomiting conditions will be examined.
Patients suffering from Acute coronary syndrome may be hospitalized again in a shorter time than expected, and after being discharged, they may live within the limitations imposed by the disease until the end of their lives. This situation causes anxiety in individuals. Today, various methods are used to reduce high levels of anxiety. Massage is the planned and purposeful application of touch and is the most common, most important and oldest complementary treatment used in traditional practices. It is also thought that the comfort levels of individuals experiencing ACS will increase by reducing their anxiety. This study was planned to determine the effect of hand massage applied to patients with ACS on comfort, anxiety level and vital signs.
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of the education given to pregnant women on their oral and dental health behaviors and knowledge levels.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a psychotherapeutic intervention model in nursing on the nursing diagnosis ineffective coping. For this purpose, validity and reliability studies of the assessment tools will be carried out initially, and then a randomized controlled study will be conducted.
Bruising as a result of heparin injection increases patients' anxiety, decreases their confidence in the effectiveness of nurses and causes them to refuse the injection. This undesirable effect can be reduced by using appropriate technique and taking a few simple precautions. In the systematic review conducted by İnangil and Şendir (2017) to systematically review the studies on the prevention of ecchymosis, hematoma and pain associated with subcutaneous heparin injection; it was determined that the number of studies investigating other techniques (pressure, site selection, etc.) was insufficient, with the highest number of studies on injection time and cold application. As a result of the research, it was recommended that local pressure should be applied to the area after injection, and the abdominal region should be preferred especially in patients who are sensitive to pain, since pain intensity is higher in the thigh and arm region. Due to the lack of literature, there is no consensus regarding the duration of compression to reduce bruising and pain after LMWH application. Based on these, this study was planned to compare the pressure applied to the injection point for 10, 35 and 60 seconds after injection in terms of pain, bruising and development of ecchymosis and hematoma at the injection sites in patients using subcutaneous heparin in the upper arm.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ESWT applied to trigger points on pain, function, and effusion in individuals diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome. Material and methods: This was a randomized controlled clinical trial with a total of 32 which were randomly divided into two equal groups (ESWT Group (EG), n = 16; Control Group (CG), n=16). The participants in the EG were given Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy to the trigger point of the patients with a trigger point in one of the supraspinatus, subscapularis and infraspinatus muscles for a total of 5 sessions in 3 weeks (2 sessions in the first week, 2 sessions in the second week, 1 session in the third week) in addition to conventional treatment while CG received only conventional treatments for five days per week for 3 consecutive weeks. The primary outcome was pain intensity Visual analog scale (VAS). Secondary measurements were Tendon thickness and effusion with Ultrasound, Range of motion (ROM), Manual muscle testing (MMT), Corbin posture analysis, Constant Murley Score (CMS), Arm Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH). Supraspinatus tendon thickness and effusion of the cases included in the study were evaluated by ultrasonography before and after the treatment(3 weeks) by the same specialist physician who was blind to the groups. Normal joint range of motion by universal goniometer, muscle strength by manual muscle test, posture evaluation by Corbin posture analysis, pain evaluation by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), functional evaluation by Constant Murley Score (CMS), Arm Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH) by physiotherapist It was evaluated before and after the treatment (3 weeks).
The Ultrasound-guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SIFIB) is an advanced regional anesthesia technique strategically directed at the three primary nerves of the lumbar plexus. As the scope of regional anesthesia methods continues to grow in clinical application, this approach emerges as a versatile method. It can be used independently for pain management or as the primary anesthetic method, particularly in well-selected patients undergoing isolated limb surgeries or in combination with other regional anesthesia approaches.
