There are about 14721 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.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is defined as the first-step bariatric surgery for patients in the high surgical risk group. It has been shown that the laparoscopic approach has lower complication rates, shorter hospital stays, and earlier mobilization compared to open surgery. However, postoperative pain management is very important because it might cause major morbidity, especially pulmonary complications in the early postoperative period. The intravenous (IV) form of ibuprofen has been used in the pain treatment since 2009. It has been shown to be effective, safe and with less adverse effects in the treatment of postoperative pain. It has been reported that ibuprofen provides effective postoperative pain management after LSG surgery. The ultrasound (US) guided erector spina plane block (ESPB) is a novel interfacial plan block defined by Forero et al. ESPB provides thoracic analgesia at T5 level, abdominal analgesia at T7-9 level. In the literature, it has been reported that ESPB provides effective analgesia after LSG surgery. The aim of this study is to compare US-guided ESPB and IV ibuprofen for postoperative analgesia management after LSG surgery.
The ultrasound-guided selective blockade of the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal provides effective analgesia and reduces postoperative pain in patients undergoing arthroscopic medial meniscectomy. Selective blockade of the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal provides effective analgesia without quadriceps muscle weakness. It has been shown that the adductor canal block (ACB) block increases the spread of local anesthetics in a distal and proximal way. Therefore, the proximal spread of local anesthetics may cause possible quadriceps weakness. The distal spread of local anesthetics may increase analgesic effect via sciatic nerve. The different volumes for ACB is a topic of discussion. The aim of this study is to compare the different volumes of US-guided ACB performing for postoperative analgesia management after total knee arthroplasty surgery.
Ultrasound (US)-guided peripheral nerve blocks have been used increasily due to the advantages of ultrasound in anesthesia practice. TLIP block is one of these nerve blocks performed under US guidance. In this technique, local anesthetic solution is injected between the multifidus and logissimus muscles nearly at the level of the 3rd lumbar vertebra and targets the dorsal rami of the thoracolumbar nerves. However, the visualisation of this technique may be difficult under US guidance. Therefore, modified-TLIP (mTLIP) block was defined as a new approach. It has been reported that mTLIP block may provide effective analgesia management after lumbar spine surgery. The ultrasound (US) guided erector spina plane block (ESPB) is a novel interfacial plan block defined by Forero et al. at 2016. Visualization of sonoanatomy with US is easy, and the spread of local anesthesic agents can be easily seen under the erector spinae muscle. Thus, analgesia occurs in several dermatomes with cephalad-caudad way. It has been reported that ESPB provides lumbar analgesia at T10-12, L3. The aim of this study is to compare US-guided mTLIP block and ESPB pain management after multi-level lumbar spinal instrumentation surgery.
Postoperative pain is important following upper extremity surgery. Postoperative effective pain treatment provides early mobilization and shorter hospital stay.Ultrasound (US)-guided brachial plexus blocks such as interscalen, axillary, infraclavicular and supraclavicular block are usually performed. The US-guided erector spina plane block (ESPB) is a novel interfacial plan block defined by Forero et al. Local anesthetic injection is administrated into the deep fascia of erector spinae. ESPB provides thoracic analgesia at T5 level, abdominal analgesia at T7-9 level, and lumbar analgesia at T10-12, L3 levels. There are a few case reports about the efficacy of ESPB for acute and chronic shoulder pain. However, there are no randomized clinical studies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the US-guided ESPB for postoperative analgesia management after upper extremity surgery.
Bariatric surgery has been widely used in the treatment of obesity in recent years. It has been shown to be effective in reaching the ideal weight and reducing obesity-induced comorbidities. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is defined as the first-step bariatric surgery for patients in the high surgical risk group. It has been shown that the laparoscopic approach has lower complication rates, shorter hospital stays, and earlier mobilization compared to open surgery. However, postoperative pain management is very important because it might cause major morbidity, especially pulmonary complications in the early postoperative period. The ultrasound (US) guided erector spina plane (ESP) block is a novel interfacial plan block defined by Forero et al. at 2016. ESP block provides thoracic analgesia at T5 level and abdominal analgesia at T7-9 level. In the literature, there is not still any randomized study evaluating ESP block efficiency for postoperative analgesia management after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of SP-420 and it's efficacy in terms of lowering iron in subjects with Beta-thalassemia or other rare anemias who need regular blood transfusions.
Heart failure is a cardiac structural or functional disorder that, despite normal filling pressures, leads to inability to deliver enough oxygen to meet the metabolic needs o tissue. Heart failure is a serious chronic condition that affects a large proportion of the adult population in the world causing high mortality, leading to exercise intolerance and reduced health-related quality of life. Patients included in the cardiac rehabilitation program slow down disease progression, hospitalization decreases, quality of life improves and health expenditures decrease. Despite the frequent use of upper extremities in daily living activities, studies investigating the effect of upper extremity aerobic training on daily living activities, functional exercise capacity and other outcomes are limited. No studies have investigated the effect of upper extremity aerobic exercise training on physical activity level, functional and maximal exercise capacity and other measures in patients with heart failure.
Periodontal diseases and dental caries are initiated by a pathogenic biofilm, in a susceptible host, affecting the tooth periodontium and hard tissues. Its possible association with many biologic systems has been studied. In this study, researchers investigated association between oral health and female infertility, and what is the biological rationale for such relationship.
This study is planned for investigating effect of downhill-uphill walking exercises on functional level and muscle strength in patients with knee arthroplasty. Patients who have had primary knee arthroplasty and has gone 3 months after surgery will be included in this study. The patients will be divided into two groups by randomization. Totally, 22 patients will be included in this study. Every patients will have same standart post-operative rehabilitation programme. In addition,group 1 will have downhill walking exercises with %10 slope; group 2 uphill walking exercises on the treadmill with %10 slope. Assessments will be made before and after treatment.
This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986205 given with Nivolumab with or without chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
