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.
In our study, the effect of infant massage applied in the intensive care unit on motor performance and stress hormones in premature babies will be examined. The number of patients to participate in the study was determined as 30. Appropriate babies will be determined and divided into 2 groups by drawing lots. After recording the demographic information of the babies who meet the inclusion criteria, the Baby Motor Performance Test (TIMP) and the baby's motor performance evaluation consisting of postural control and selective extremity movements, and the stress level of the babies will be evaluated by looking at cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) hormones. In addition, Field baby massage will be given to the application group. It is seen that there are limited studies in the literature on the effect of infant massage applied in the intensive care unit on motor performance and stress hormones in premature infants. The results of this research will provide useful information for premature babies hospitalized in intensive care.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of reiki on pain, stress and comfort level in students experiencing dysmenorrhea
The present study aimed to assess the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on serum and salivary IL-1beta, IL-18, NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1 levels in gingivitis and Stage III Grade C periodontitis. 15 periodontally healthy, 15 gingivitis and 15 Stage III Grade C periodontitis patients were enrolled. At baseline, serum and saliva samples were collected and the whole mouth clinical periodontal parameters were recorded. Periodontitis and gingivitis patients received non-surgical periodontal treatment. Clinical parameters were re-measured and samples were re-collected at 1 and 3 months after treatment. Serum and salivary protein levels were analyzed by ELISA. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the fifth in cancer-related deaths. Open radical retropubic prostatectomy is the most common surgical treatment for localized prostate cancer. Open radical retropubic prostatectomy is associated with moderate pain. Severe pain in the postoperative period affects the length of hospital stay and morbidity. Multimodal analgesia applications for the management of postoperative pain are the main component of post-surgical recovery. Different analgesia modalities, including systemic opioid use and neuraxial analgesia, have been used for pain control after retropubic radical prostatectomy. Side effects of systemic and intrathecal opioids limit the potential benefits of these agents. Transversus abdominis plane block and quadratus lumborum block are blocks that can be used for postoperative analgesia in the abdominal and pelvic regions. There is no study in the literature comparing the efficacy of these two blocks for postoperative analgesia in open radical retropubic prostatectomy and their effects on narcotic consumption.
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients on balance and postural control. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is IMT effective in improving balance and postural control in MS patients? Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will be given only balance exercises. The other group will be given IMT treatment in addition to balance exercises.
Every professional working in the medical field may encounter medical errors and patient safety issues during their careers. Wu, et al. He coined the term 'second victim', which was used for the first time in 2000. In a patient safety incident, the patient is the first to be affected, while the second to be affected are the healthcare professionals (physicians, assistants, nurses, and medical staff) who are the potential causes of the incident and who are adversely affected by the consequences of this incident. That is, secondary victims are characterized as healthcare professionals who are involved in unexpected adverse patient events and experience occupational or psychological difficulties. Almost half of healthcare professionals have been reported to experience the second victim phenomenon during their professional careers. Medical errors or adverse events can deeply affect healthcare professionals and have long-term effects, leading to permanent consequences. In the medical field, identifying the origins of errors plays a vital role in preventing future errors. Second victims can encourage constructive change by not only criticizing the healthcare system but also contributing to the improvement of healthcare institutions. Burlison and his team developed and validated a tool they called the "Second Victim Experience and Support Tool" (SVEST) to understand the coping process of second victims and identify necessary support resources. Koca and colleagues conducted a validation study of the translation and psychometric evaluation of the SVEST (T-SVEST) in Turkey. Our study aims to evaluate the secondary victim experience of anesthesiologists and the quality of support resources.
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of abominal massage on feeding intolerance and blood sugar levels in intensive care patients who are continuously feeding enterally and have diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the lung function effect from orally inhaled BGF delivered via HFO propellant is equivalent to the lung function effect from orally inhaled BGF delivered via HFA propellant in participants with COPD. The study duration for each participant will be approximately 15 to 16 weeks and consist of: 1. A screening and placebo run-in period of approximately 2 weeks prior to first dosing 2. Three treatment periods of approximately 4 weeks each (one period for each of 3 study interventions) 3. A final safety follow-up visit via telephone contact approximately 1 to 2 weeks after the final dose administration Participants will be provided with rescue SABA (albuterol or salbutamol) to be used as needed throughout the study. Participants will attend in-clinic study visits approximately weekly during the screening/run-in period (Visits 1, 2, and 3), then every 4 weeks (Visits 4, 5, and 6) to receive take-home study treatment, measure their lung function, and assess their health and safety
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of music therapy on pain and anxiety following coronary angiography in patients in intensive care. 60 patients who underwent coronary angiography will be randomized and divided into experimental (n = 30) and control (n = 30) groups. "Personal Data Form", "Pain Visual Analog Scale (Pain-VAS)", "Anxiety Visual Analog Scale (Anxiety-VAS)" and "Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS)" were used to collect data. While participants in the experimental group will be given a problem-solving training program, no intervention will be made to the control group. The data in the control and experimental groups will be distributed homogeneously.
Study is designed to investigate the risk factors associated with morbidity and mortality in patients who underwent emergency resection because of colorectal cancer in general surgery clinic of a tertiary referral hospital.
