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 this study, the effect of plantar fascia release with a magnetic fascial cork ball on hamstring and lumbar extensor muscle elasticity will be investigated.
Background: The effect of exercise on knee osteoarthritis (OA) is often evaluated with patient-reported scales. The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values of these scales are needed to understand the change in patients after treatment and to manage the treatment. It is also one of the most important data in calculating the MCID sample size. Aim: In the literature, MCID studies for exercise applied to knee OA are limited especially for those who did not undergo surgery. Thus new studies are needed. Method: 100 patients who were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be recruited for the study. Participants will be included in an exercise program tailored to their needs for 15 sessions. WOMAC, OKS, LEFS scales will be used also knee range of motion will be assessed in the baseline, after treatments and in the 4th month follow up.
Introduction: Pes planus is a deformity that affects the foot-ankle muscle complex as well as passive components of the foot such as bones and ligaments. Various approaches such as taping methods and exercise training are being investigated in the treatment of pes planus. The effect of the applied methods and their superiority over each other are still unclear. The effect of banding methods varies according to the band type and technique. Exercise methods currently focus on the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot. Pedobarographic evaluations are also performed in addition to clinical evaluations to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments. Objective: It is planned to compare the effects of reinforced low-dye taping method, which is one of the rigid taping techniques used in the treatment of pes planus, and exercise training on foot plantar pressure, navicular drop and foot posture. Material and method: 34 individuals with pes planus between the ages of 18-25 will be included in the study, which was designed as a single-blind randomized study. The universe of our study will be Lokman Hekim University Faculty of Health Sciences and Institute of Health Sciences. The whole universe will be tried to be reached and individuals who meet the inclusion criteria will be selected from the relevant universe. Consent form will be obtained from individuals who are deemed eligible to participate in the study. Pes planus evaluation; It will be done using the navicular drop test and the foot posture index. In order for the physical activity levels of the groups to be homogeneous, after stratified sampling, individuals will be randomly assigned to the exercise groups by taping and exercise with the closed envelope method. Evaluations will be made to each group at the beginning, at the eighth and twelfth week. Static evaluation of the foot will be made using navicular drop and foot posture index, and pedobarographic analysis will be done using a foot analyzer. Conclusion: The effects of taping and exercise training on foot static and plantar pressure measurements will be interpreted.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (MGS) is a clinical picture accompanied by genital and urinary symptoms and is commonly seen in the postmenopausal period. In the literature, the effects of drug and non-drug methods in the improvement of these symptoms have been investigated in many different designs. There is limited evidence that pelvic floor physiotherapy improves vulvovaginal blood flow with repetitive muscle activation, reduces vulvar irritation with reduction in urinary incontinence episodes, and normalizes pelvic floor muscle tone in the treatment of MGS. In addition, there is no study to the best of our knowledge investigating the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercise training and patient/individual training, in which individuals are informed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effects of pelvic floor muscle training and patient/individual information training in the presence of a physiotherapist on genitourinary symptoms and quality of life in individuals with GSM and to contribute to science in the light of this information. Before starting the study, the physical (height, body weight) and sociodemographic characteristics (age, marital status, educational status, employment status), medical history and menopausal characteristics of the individuals will be recorded. In addition, the pelvic floor muscle strength of the individuals will be evaluated at the beginning of the study and after the study is completed; genital symptoms, urinary symptoms and quality of life and scales will be questioned. Within the scope of individual/patient information education, menopause and menopause-related complaints, genitourinary (genital, sexual and urinary-related) symptoms of menopause, sexual function, the effect of menopause on sexual functions, recommendations for menopausal symptoms and complaints, and the structure and function of the pelvic floor muscles and pelvic floor muscles. Information will be given including recommendations for base health. This training will be given at the beginning of the study and will be repeated after 4 weeks to increase the benefit of the training. Individuals will be included in the progressive exercise training program within the scope of the pelvic floor muscle exercise training program. In the controls to be made every 15 days, the exercise compliance of the individuals will be monitored and the number of exercises will be increased. Exercise charts will be given in order to increase the adaptation of individuals to exercise and the benefit they will gain from exercise. The estimated time in this study is 8 weeks and it is planned to include 50 volunteers in the study.
Our aim in this interventional study is to investigate the effectiveness of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment applied to the articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves on pain, functional level, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with coxarthrosis. We will compare the effects of PRF treatment added to nerve block compared to nerve block alone.
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis among rheumatologic diseases. Complementary therapies are one of the effective methods for pain control. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. For this purpose, patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis who applied to the Orthopedics Outpatient Clinic will be included. It was calculated that the study would include at least 67 patients. The study will be collected using patient information form, descriptive characteristics form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and WOMAC osteoarthritis application scale. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effect of pomegranate peel (P. granatum) compress application on pain and function status. The study was divided into 3 groups as Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel compress, hot compress and control group. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel compress was applied 3 days a week for 3 weeks by turning the powder into porridge check.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does nurse counseling affect quality of life? - Does nurse counseling affect functional capacity? - Does nurse counseling affect knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about syndromes? Participants will be trained using the training booklet, and nursing counseling will then be provided for six months. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare with the control group to see if the nurse counseling has had an effect.

Short summary: The aim of this randomized controlled clinical research study was to compare distal radial artery cannulation with forearm radial artery cannulation in terms of efficacy and ease of administration. The investigators believe that cannulation of the distal radial artery in cases requiring invasive arterial monitoring should preserve the radial artery of the forearm for future health problems and reduce circulatory complications by working more distally. The main question[s] aims to answer are: - [question 1]: whether artery monitoring can be performed with a more distal approach - [question 2]: efficacy and safety of the distal approach
The aim of this study is to show how whole body vibration training practiced for 12 weeks affects the levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as C reactive protein (CRP) and, interleukin-6 (IL-6), in Type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with and without peripheral neuropathy.
