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.
This interventional study aims to learn about the postoperative analgesic efficacy of a new fascial plane block, recto-intercostal fascial plane block, at coronary artery bypass grafting with sternotomy. There will be two groups, one of which will be the control group, and the other will be the study group randomly receiving postoperative recto-intercostal fascial plane block. The main questions it aims to answer are the effect of this new block on postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores. Also, postoperative outcomes related to respiratory ( postoperative oxygenation and atelectasis score), hemodynamic functions ( newly developed arrhythmias), total postanesthesia care unit stay, and hospital stay will be questioned.
In studies evaluating the methods used to reduce invasive pain associated with cannulation, it is seen that pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used. Pharmacological treatment is considered risky as it may cause drug addiction in the patient and may cause side effects and complications. On the other hand, the use of non-pharmacological methods is preferred because they are cheaper and cause fewer side effects and complications.
Improvement of proprioception in athletes has been found to be effective in preventing fear of movement. The importance of these parameters has not been sufficiently emphasized in volleyball players. In addition, the relationship between upper extremity proprioception and the sense of touch, which is an important component of the somatosensory system, and common anxiety states in athletes has not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between shoulder joint proprioception and psychometric parameters, kinesiophobia and palmar tactile sensation in volleyball players.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of cultural competence education given according to the peer education model on the cultural competence levels of student nurses.
Spinal deformity is common in childhood and adolescence, and can often present as scoliosis or increased thoracic kyphosis deformity with various etiologies.The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, and diaphragm contraction is associated with respiratory functions.Any spinal deformity, especially one that affects the thoracic spine, can affect lung function.In the planned thesis study, investigators will measure the diaphragm thickness in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with scoliosis deformities affecting the thoracic region, whether there is any relationship between the impact in the thoracic region and the diaphragm thickness, and the three-dimensional exercise (Schroth exercise-Barcelona Schroth therapy) applied in investigators' clinic for scoliosis, before and after the treatment of the diaphragm. Investigators aimed to show whether there is any change in thickness.
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of supervised exercises, video based exercises and control group on muscle strength, muscle endurance, pain and upper extremity function in dentists with musculoskeletal pain. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups: Supervised exercise group (SEG), video based exercise group (VEG) and control group (CG). Both SEG and VEG were given same exercises but SEG did the exercises with a experienced physiotherapist while VEG did it through videos 3 days a week for 12 weeks. CG was only given postural education.
Informed consent is the first step in every medical procedure. It is important for the patient to clearly understand how the procedure will be performed, what to expect from the process, and the possible complications. Any of the specified processes disruption may alter procedure satisfaction and treatment outcomes. Studies have reported that providing insufficient information before interventional procedures increases anxiety and the severity of pain during the procedure. In this study, alongside the standard procedures for obtaining oral and written consent, it is envisaged to augment patient comprehension and engagement by visually demonstrating the treatment areas and needle insertion points using a spinal model. Within the study framework, patients will be presented with both verbal and written informed consent, supplemented by visual aids utilizing a spinal model. The study aims to assess and compare the efficacy of this enhanced consent process in terms of patient understanding, procedural acceptance, and subsequent satisfaction levels.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of maxillary nerve blockage on both postoperative pain scores and recovery quality index in septoplasty operations. Thus, it was aimed to determine an alternative method that can be used in postoperative analgesia that will suppress postoperative pain complaints and increase the comfort level of patients after septoplasty operations.
This study is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based psychoeducation on levels of mindfulness, cognitive defusion, and depression in patients with depression. The sample of the study will consist of 60 patients (30 experimental, 30 control) diagnosed with major depression, recruited from a state hospital. Mindfulness-based psychoeducation will be applied to the experimental group once a week for a total of 8 weeks in the form of group sessions. No intervention other than routine treatment will be applied to the control group. The primary questions that the study aims to answer are as follows: Does mindfulness-based psychoeducation increase levels of mindfulness and cognitive defusion in depression patients? Does mindfulness-based psychoeducation decrease levels of depression in depression patients?
Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures among general surgery cases. As with many open surgical methods, this repair is also performed laparoscopically. Among these closed methods, the one method is laparoscopic extended total extraperitoneal repair (eTEP). The benefits of laparoscope include less postoperative pain and complications, faster recovery, reduced chronic pain, and recurrence rate. One of the recent debates regarding the laparoscopic technique is mesh fixation. Fixation of the mesh to the cooper ligament can prevent mesh migration and consequently reduce the recurrence rate. However, it has been reported that this fixation may increase postoperative pain. Several studies have reported that recurrence may be due to inadequate mesh fixation technique. In contrast, other prospective randomized studies have found relapse unrelated to mesh fixation. In the eTEP technique, dissection is performed in a larger area than in TEP. For this reason, it can be thought that the possibility of mesh displacement is higher in the eTEP procedure. The purpose of this study is to confirm this idea with a prospective study. There are studies in the literature on mesh fixation related to the total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) technique. However, there is no study on mesh detection in the eTEP technique. The aim of the study is to compare patients who underwent withmesh fixation and without mesh fixation laparoscopic eTEP repair in terms of clinical data such as mesh displacement and hernia recurrence, chronic pain, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.
