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.
Children with spastic cerebral palsy experience falls due to weakness in balance skills and abnormalities in gait parameters. It is necessary to improve the quality of life of these children by reducing the frequency of falling. Aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Neurodevelopmental Treatment on the risk of falling and balance and to contribute to the literature on this subject. Cases were randomized into study and control groups. At the beginning of the study, the balance skills of all the cases with spastic cerebral palsy were measured with the Pediatric Balance Scale, and the gait parameters and fall risks were measured with the LEGSys Temporospatial Gait Analysis Device. Then, an 8-week, case-specific, neurodevelopmental therapy program with intensive gait and balance training was applied to the study group in a 45-minute single session, 2 days a week. The control group received 8 weeks of conventional physiotherapy. At the end of the treatment process, the evaluations were repeated with the same methods.
The purpose was to evaluate the effect of USG-guided adductor canal block and infiltration popliteal artery capsule knee block combination on postoperative analgesia before total knee arthroplasty.
The aim of this study is to compare the pain score between the direct method and the conventional method in patients who have undergone copper or hormonal intrauterine devices (IUD) for contraception and to find an answer to the question of which method is better.
This study was planned to examine the effects of the butterfly vacuum blood collection set and standard vacutanier needle used during blood collection in children on the level of pain and fear. It is a randomized controlled trial.The study will be conducted in the pediatric blood collection unit with children between the ages of 7 and 12 who have undergone blood tests by a pediatrician.Data collection tools: "Descriptive Information Form", "Difficult Intravenous Intervention Score" for Children, "Numerical Pain Scale", "Child Fear Scale" will be used to collect data.The data will be uploaded to the computer and coded by the researchers, and the data will be evaluated in the SPSS package program. The sociodemographic data of the children participating in the study will be given as numbers and percentage distributions. Appropriate tests will be used by analyzing the data for normal distribution. The statistical significance level of the study was determined as p< 0.05. In addition, at the end of the research, the status of working with sufficient sample size will be tested with post-hoc power analysis.
This study aimed to evaluate postoperative pain intensity after glide-path preparation with the ProGlider (PG) and WaveOne Gold Glider (WOGG) systems in asymptomatic teeth with necrotic pulp and periapical lesions.Maxillary and mandibular molars with chronic apical periodontitis of 78 patients (age, 18-65 years) were included. The patients were randomly divided into three groups: control (n = 26), PG (n = 26), and WOGG (n = 26). All systems were used according to the manufacturer's instructions, and all root canal treatments were completed by a single operator within two sessions. Postoperative pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS) at 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, and 72 h. The intake of prescribed analgesics and abscess formation were also recorded.
The aim of this clinical study is to compare the pain and fear scores of women who gave birth for the first time and who did and did not do relaxation exercises with virtual reality glasses during episiotomy incision and episiotomy repair. This research seeks answers to the following questions: Question 1: Does doing relaxation exercise with virtual reality glasses reduce the pain score experienced during episiotomy incision? Question 2: Does relaxation exercise with virtual reality glasses reduce the pain score experienced during episiotomy repair? Question 3: Does doing relaxation exercise with virtual reality glasses reduce the fear score experienced during episiotomy incision? Question 4: Does doing relaxation exercise with virtual reality glasses reduce the fear score experienced during episiotomy repair? A group of participants will be given a relaxation exercise with virtual reality glasses during the episiotomy incision and episiotomy repair. Women in the comparison group will not undergo any intervention during episiotomy incision and repair.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a Precede-Proceed Model-based (PPM-based) training program on treatment adherence, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and quality of life of hemodialysis patients.
Intensive care units (ICUs) aim to provide specialized care for patients with high morbidity and mortality risks. To effectively identify patients requiring urgent diagnosis and treatment, various scoring systems have been developed, including APACHE-II. However, these systems primarily focus on evaluating organ dysfunction and do not consider the patient's nutritional status or the role of inflammation. Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of inflammation in patient outcomes, emphasizing the need to incorporate inflammatory parameters into scoring systems for accurate prognosis prediction. Additionally, nutritional status upon ICU admission has been largely overlooked in current scoring systems, despite its significant impact on patient outcomes. Malnourished patients have higher risks of complications, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality rates. Adequate nutrition supports immune function, tissue repair, and the response to therapeutic interventions, ultimately minimizing complications. Integrating nutritional assessment into existing scoring systems allows for early identification of malnourished patients and timely interventions, improving overall care quality in the ICU. Considering the importance of inflammation and nutritional status, this study aims to develop a new scoring system by adding inflammatory and nutritional parameters to APACHE II score. This comprehensive approach holds promise for enhancing patient outcomes, accurately evaluating clinical severity, and facilitating immediate interventions in critical care settings.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the performance of computer aided designed and computer aided manufactured (CAD/CAM) occlusal splints with splints produced with conventional methods. The main questions this clinical study aims to answer are: - Do CAD/CAM splints have the same therapeutic effect as the traditional splints ? - Do CAD/CAM splints demonstrate better surface wear and fit and lower wear in opposing jaw than traditional splints ? - Is objective pain evaluation of the patient better with CAD/CAM splints ? Participants were asked to use the splints for 6 months, 8 hours a day and come for follow-up appointments 3 times during this 6 month period: - Delivery appointment - First appointment: one week later after delivery appointment - Last appointment: 6 months after delivery appointment Researchers compared CAD/CAM groups with traditional group to see the clinical performance of the CAD/CAM groups.
With the medicalization of midwifery care; It has been reported that the autonomy of midwives is reduced, and their relationships with care and care recipients are under threat. For this reason, the midwife had to move away from the concept of being with the woman and face the ideology of being with the institution. In this context, it is thought that there is a need for care models that enable the midwife and woman to work in cooperation. It is thought that establishing a collaborative relationship based on the partnership model between the midwife and the pregnant will be possible with the continuity of care. There are studies in the literature showing that the continuity of midwifery care has positive results at birth. However, no study has been found regarding the partnership or cooperation of the midwife with the pregnant woman during delivery with standards. It is thought that this research to be conducted has a unique value in terms of meeting the need for scientific information on the effect of midwife-pregnant cooperation on birth experience and birth satisfaction. In the study, continuous midwifery care will be given to pregnant women during delivery based on midwife-pregnant cooperation in line with the midwifery care model checklist. It is thought that this midwifery care given during birth will positively affect the birth experience and birth satisfaction.
