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 aim of the study was to examine the effect of counselling and follow-up after education on the risks and prevention methods of breast cancer on early diagnosis behaviours and healthy lifestyle behaviours. The population of the study will consist of female administrative staff working at Mersin University. The sample of the study will consist of 160 people. A total of 160 personnel determined by randomisation will be divided into group A (study) and group B (control) formed by the independent researcher in the computer environment. All participants will be given a one-hour training on breast cancer and will be practised with a model as well as a presentation. Group A will be counselled for 6 months after the training and a reminder message will be sent via SMS on Monday every week as "Check your modifiable risk factors for breast cancer" and their feedback will be received. In group B, no additional application will be made except for the training. The data of the study will be collected before and 6 months after the training by using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Breast Cancer Early Diagnosis Behaviours Form, Counselling Form and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Scale II. The data obtained from the study will be analysed in a computer environment. Number, percentage, mean and standard deviation will be used as descriptive statistics in the evaluation of the data.
In this study, individuals aged 65 and over who applied to the physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic with any complaint will be evaluated in terms of geriatric syndromes. Patients identified as pre-frail will be randomized into the two exercise groups. Exercises of the first group will be performed on the whole body vibration platform and the second will be performed on a flat surface. Before and after the 6-weeks of exercise program; handgrip strength, anterior thigh muscle thickness, body composition, physical performance, mobility, physical activity, balance, kinesiophobia, mood, quality of life, sleep quality, fatigue will be evaluated in both groups. The aim of the study is to show the possible effects of whole body vibration. The results of the study may offer new treatment options that may help prevent the progression of frailty in pre-frail individuals and may guide similar studies.
It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study with a single-blind technique, pretest-posttest control group and repetitive measurements, in order to determine the effect of motivational support program applied to adolescents and education on sleep quality.
There are different methods in brachial plexus blocks for hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow operations. In this study, the anesthetic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided selective truncus methods and the supraclavicular methods for brachial plexus blocks in upper extremity surgeries will be compared.
This study aimed to (i) assess the reliability of myotonometer measurements in determining the mechanical properties of thenar muscle in healthy individuals and explore gender-based variations in these properties; (ii) examine the relationship between pinch grip strength and these mechanical properties.
Objective: Acne vulgaris, an inflammatory disease, was investigated in this study with the claim that C-reactive protein (CRP) / albumin ratio and some hematological parameter ratios have the potential to be used as inflammatory markers to monitor disease severity and prognosis. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with two groups of patients aged 18-65 years, 61 patients diagnosed with acne vulgaris and 35 healthy control patients, and routine hemogram and biochemical parameters were compared. The Global Acne Severity Index was used to determine the severity of acne vulgaris.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory disease of the central nervous system that is common in young ages and women. Plaques formed in MS can develop at any point in the brain and spinal cord, causing various symptoms and adversely affecting the patient's quality of life. Although not counted among the affected neurological systems, one of the most important symptoms experienced by MS patients is sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction in MS may occur due to symptoms of MS such as spasticity, fatigue, and bladder problems, due to the presence of lesions affecting the neural pathways. The most common method used in the treatment of sexual dysfunction in women with MS is sexual counseling. The PLISSIT model is one of the most frequently used models by health professionals in sexual counseling and evaluation. PLISSIT stands for Permission, limited Information, Specific Suggestion and Intensive Therapy. In this randomized controlled study, the long-term effect of sexual counseling given to female MS patients with the PLISSIT model on sexual function and sexual quality of life will be evaluated. The study is planned to be carried out between July 2023 and December 2024 in the MS and Demyenizing Diseases Unit of Istanbul University Istanbul Medical Faculty Hospital, Department of Neurology. The sample size was calculated as 86, 43 in the sexual counseling group and 43 in the control group, in the G*Power (v3.1.9.7) program using the power analysis method. The data of the study will be collected with the "Descriptive Information Form", "Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire-15", "Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire for Women", "Patient Health Questionnaire-4" and "Fatigue Severity Scale" developed by the researchers. The data will be analyzed in SPPS 28 package program. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median and minimum-maximum values will be given in descriptive statistics. The t-test for independent samples/Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare the mean score of the dependent variables of the two groups. Paired groups t-test/Wilcoxon test will be used in the comparison of each group within the group. As a result of the research, it is possible to develop an alternative solution approach to the treatment of sexual problems of women with MS by comprehensively evaluating women with MS with sexual problems in line with the PLISSIT model, suggesting solutions, examining the long-term effectiveness of sexual counseling and evaluating the results with concrete, valid and reliable tools. will be provided.
Thirty subjects with unilateral vestibular hypofunction diagnosed by videonystagmography (VNG) were voluntarily included in the study. In addition to Static Posturography test, head thrust test, Unterberger test, bucket test, eyes open/closed tandem stance test, eyes open/closed semitandem stance test, Romberg test, one leg standing on foam floor with eyes open/closed and before vestibular rehabilitation treatment In the initial evaluations, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Dizziness Disability Inventory (DHI) were applied to assess the severity of standing on one leg with eyes open/closed, dynamic visual acuity, vertigo, and fatigue. As a result of the study, it was concluded that vestibular rehabilitation is beneficial in patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction and its effectiveness can be monitored with Static Posturography.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of diet and combined resistance exercise training on physical activity and sleep patterns compared to diet program alone.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ergonomics training with exercises applied on factory workers with low back pain on pain, functionality, sleep and fatigue.
