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 study aims to determine the effectiveness of an intraoral scanner with near-infrared imaging (NIRI) for the diagnosis of proximal caries.
INTRODUCTION: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a critical transitional stage in dementia related disorders. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and the lateral parietal (LPC) cortex are subjected to neuropathological changes in MCI. Parietal memory network (PMN) integrity alterations and default mode network (DMN) alterations also occur in MCI. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising neuroprotective tool that modulates functional connectivity and might be useful to interfere with cognitive decline in relation to amnestic MCI (aMCI) and Parkinson's disease-MCI (PD-MCI) when applied to DLPFC and LPC. METHODS: This is a multicenter, randomized, and controlled study evaluating the effectiveness of anodal tDCS (atDCS ) applied bilaterally to the DLPFC/F3-F4 and LPC/ P3-P4 for 5 sessions with a total of 10 sessions in 14 days. The stimulation will be delivered with a 2 mA current frequency and will last 20 minutes a day for 5 days a week. The study consists of anodal, and sham control groups with a total of 120 participants with DLPFC and LPC anodal groups including 40 participants each and sham including 40 participants which are all between 45-80 years of age. At baseline and as an outcome measure, neurocognitive evaluation will be conducted using various tests standardized to use in the Turkish population. Functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) will be used to detect possible PMN and DMN alterations and hippocampal connectivity, and electroencephalogram (EEG) will be used to assess possible electrophysiological alterations that may happen as a result of atDCS. Baseline evaluation will be done before atDCS sessions and it will be repeated at the end of 14 days and 90 days. DISCUSSION: This study aims to explore the effectiveness of atDCS in PD-MCI, aMCI and to contribute to the literature in the field.
The aim of this study was to compare the duration of breast milk intake, vitamin D intake, asthma control level and physical activity levels between obese asthmatic children and non-obese children. This was a prospective study in children aged 8-17 years with asthma. Asthma control level was evaluated by asthma control test and physical activity level was evaluated by Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (IPAQ-C) and leisure time activity scale.
Based on the hypothesis that keeping the endotracheal cuff pressure in the optimum range will reduce the incidence of vip, we aimed to compare the Manual (intermittent) measurement method with the Automatic (continuous) measurement method in reducing the incidence of vap.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of aerobic capacity with agility, core muscle endurance and peripheral muscle strength in adolescent basketball players.
The aim of this research is to examine and evaluate the effects of balance coordination and strengthening training on gait, mobility and posture in children with low vision The hypotheses of our study: H1: Balance coordination and strengthening training has an effect on gait, mobility and posture in children with low vision. H2: Balance coordination and strengthening training has no effect on gait, mobility and posture in children with low vision.
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of manipulation combined with exercise as a treatment for patients with coccydynia.
The usage of vessel sealing devices has been gaining popularity in all surgical specialties. Post-renal transplant drain placement is a common practice among transplant surgeons. However, prolonged drainage accompanied by surgical wound complications and perirenal fluid collections is a frequent complication experienced by the recipients. This study aimed to compare bipolar sealing with conventional back-table dissection in terms of post-renal transplant drainage duration, amount, surgical wound complication, and back-table preparation time.
Goal directed fluid therapy is a new standard surgical procedure which is successful in patients undergoing hip revision arthroplasty, There has been a reduction of postoperative complications, most importantly surgery with a decrease inbleeding, as well as in hospital and intensive care stays it is related. The aim of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of pulmonary ultrasound score and vena cava collapse index measurements in the patients undergoing hip surgery under spinal anesthesia and relation with peroperative fluid management.
Hand10 questionnaire, Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire and Arm Shoulder Questionnaire for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and Hand Deficiencies Questionnaire (DASH) will be applied one week apart to investigate the validity of the questionnaire. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency will be determined using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient analysis and Cronbach alpha, respectively. The validity of Hand10 in individuals with CST will be determined using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient analysis, the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Disability Questionnaire and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire.
