There are about 14639 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.
Hypothesis 1: Ho: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has no effect on knee hyperextension control in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait. H1: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has an effect on knee hyperextension control in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait. Hypothesis 2: Ho: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has no effect on pelvic movements in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait. H1: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has an effect on pelvic movements in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait.
In this study, investigators compared the systemic inflammatory responses after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) patients who were given an expanded empirical antibiotic regimen based on the prediction of the possibility of bacteria identified by Gram staining the first urine after renal puncture and patients whose antibiotic regimen was not performed and whose antibiotic regimen was adjusted according to patient symptoms and culture results. Investigators aimed to test its diagnostic value in predicting and preventing complications.
Pectus deformities are among the most common anterior chest wall pathologies. Pectus excavatum is the most common chest deformity with an incidence of 0.1-0.3%. In severe deformities, a decrease in lung volume is observed. This can cause decreased pulmonary function and affect the function of the right ventricle. The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, and diaphragm contraction is associated with respiratory functions. So, investigators aimed to measure diaphragmatic thickness in adolescents with pectus deformity and to show whether diaphragmatic thickness is an early predictor of respiratory disorder in participants who do not show any clinical symptoms or whose respiratory functions are normal.
This study will investigate the effects of Floss band application and Mulligan mobilization on ankle range of motion, vertical jump, gait and balance in active healthy young adults.
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joint. xercise is one of the most important nonpharmacologic treatment modalities in AS. Stretching, strengthening, aerobic, posture, balance and moltimodal exercise methods are the most commonly used treatment methods. The study will include 44 patients diagnosed with AS aged 18-65 years. Patients will be divided into two randomized controlled groups with 22 patients in each group. Group 1 will receive a personalized exercise program including stretching, strengthening, respiratory, aerobic and posture exercises via video conferencing. Group 2 will be recommended a video on the YouTube platform and will be asked to perform the exercises by following the content of these videos. Spinal mobility will be assessed with Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, disease activity with Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, function with Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Function Index, quality of life with Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Scale and posture with PostureScreeen mobile application.
The goal of this randomized-controlled clinical study is to investigate the impact of soft tissue phenotype modification following free gingival grafting (FGG) in addition to the non-surgical mechanical therapy of peri-implant mucositis (PM) with keratinized mucosa width (KMW) < 2 mm over a 6-month follow-up period. Therefore, the following questions related to the study are raised: - Does soft tissue modification following free gingival grafting around the implants, in addition to non-surgical mechanical therapy of PM, affect the complete disease resolution? - Does the presence of KMW < 2 mm around the implants exhibit similar outcomes compared to the sites with sufficient KMW (i.e., ≥ 2 mm) for professional mechanical plaque removal? Patients who apply to the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Gazi University, are systemically healthy, have implant-supported fixed restorations installed at least one year prior to their enrollment, and are diagnosed with PM on these implants will be selected for the study. Patients with KMW < 2 mm at the respective implant sites will be treated with non-surgical mechanical treatment combined with soft tissue augmentation with FGG or non-surgical mechanical treatment alone. As a positive control group, those who apply to the same department, have implants in function as noted during routine annual maintenance appointments, and are diagnosed as healthy will be selected.
Chronic wounds that fail to heal over extended periods pose a significant financial burden on the healthcare system, underscoring the urgent need to enhance clinical treatments. Among the most promising approaches are stem cell-based therapies. Substantial evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can facilitate the healing of chronic wounds in both animal models and preclinical studies, primarily through their paracrine actions. The bioactive factors and cytokines secreted by MSCs can be harvested in the form of conditioned medium. This medium has been processed into a lyophilized powder for clinical use. Patients with chronic wounds will recruited and divided into two groups: the control group will receive the commonly used fibroblast growth factor, while the experimental group was treated with the lyophilized powder. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of this Stem cell and exosome in treating chronic wounds (especially pilonidal sinus).
It is observed that art-based programs, one of the non-pharmacological methods, play an active role in improving the health and well-being of pregnant women and reducing anxiety, stress and depression. This shows that arts-based experiences offer women a unique opportunity to explore all dimensions of the transition to motherhood. When the literature is examined, it is seen that art-based interventions are used in birth units, neonatal intensive care and high-risk pregnancy units. However, no study has been found in which it was applied during the NST procedure. Therefore, the aim of our study is to examine the effect of picture-based art intervention on the fetus during the Non-Stress Test on maternal anxiety and fetal parameters.
This research was planned experimentally to investigate the effect of teaching supported by WEB 2.0 tools on the development of WEB pedagogical content knowledge of nursing students. Innovative learning technologies provide easy and fast access to information. One of the important opportunities provided by the Internet is that it facilitates the transfer of information in education and enables active learning thanks to WEB 2.0 applications. The use of WEB 2.0 tools in nursing education provides significant benefits to the cognitive, affective and behavioral fields. Considering their important role in education, academic nurses' technological applications are critical to achieve good results in this context. For this reason, it is very important to shed light on the use of Web 2.0 tools for nursing education, to enlighten nurse candidates about the general use of Web 2.0 tools, and at the same time to discover the best technological practices they use.
The goal of this single blind randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of sensory-perception-motor training on cognitive functions, balance and gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease? The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on balance in patients with Parkinson's Disease? - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on cognitive functions in patients with Parkinson's Disease? - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease? Patients in the control group will be asked to continue their routine lives and return for evaluation after 8 weeks. Individuals in the control group will be followed without any additional treatment or advice. Patients in the study group will receive sensory-perceptual-motor training for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, in addition to their routine lives. No additional recommendations will be given to individuals in either group.
