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.
Every individual with joint hypermobility may not apply to a health institution because they do not have a complaint that will affect their daily life. Although hypermobility is a common clinical entity in the society, this issue has not been fully understood yet. In particular, individuals with GJH are either neglected in physiotherapy and rehabilitation evaluations and practices, or they encounter an incomplete assessment and physiotherapy practices. In this study, in order to better understand the effect of GJH on "core" muscle endurance, upper extremity strength, grip strength and coordination, we will include the individuals identified GJH among the university students (hypermobility severity ≥4/9 according to Beighton diagnostic criteria) as study group and the healthy peers as control group. We believe the results we will obtain at the end of our study will make a contribution to the literature in terms of revealing the role of "core" muscle endurance and upper extremity strength, grip strength and coordination in the evaluation and rehabilitation of individuals with GJH. In addition, it will contribute to the inclusion of individuals with GJH who are professional athletes, dancers or musicians in a more comprehensive evaluation program and the creation of physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs. According to the information we have obtained from the literature, it is a fact that hypermobility can increase the susceptibility to musculoskeletal system diseases. For this reason, early solutions to problems can be provided by evaluating hypermobility in patients who apply to health institutions with various musculoskeletal complaints, raising awareness of patients with hypermobility to prevent injuries caused by hypermobility, and strengthening muscles.
In this study, it was planned to provide more stable hemodynamics in geriatric patients with low-dose spinal anesthesia. We will compare 7.5mg hyperbaric bupivacaine with 5mg hyperbaric bupivacaine. The researchers hypothesized that low-dose bupivacaine would provide adequate anesthesia, less hypotension, and faster recovery.
The aim of our study is to determine the predictive value of pre-anesthesia FTc for hypotension that may develop after general anesthesia induction in patients over 65 years of age and to investigate the correlation between pre-anesthesia FTc and the magnitude of the maximum decrease in systolic blood pressure from the pre-anaesthetic value.
Introduction and Purpose: Obesity is an increasing public health problem all over the world. Obesity is a proinflammatory multisystemic disease defined as hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia of adipose tissue. Obesity is frequently encountered in elective and emergency surgical procedures and causes more difficulties in airway management. Difficult airway, characterized by difficult mask ventilation and difficult intubation, is especially common in obese and morbidly obese patients. Some studies show that the measurement of anterior neck soft tissue thickness at the level of the vocal cords plays an important role in estimating difficult laryngoscopy in obese patients. Difficult intubation is envisaged in patients with pretracheal soft tissue thickness of 28 mm and neck circumference of more than 50 cm at the level of the vocal cord. In this prospective observational study, it is aimed to measure the preoperative anterior cervical soft tissue thickness with 3 parameters by USG in obese patients undergoing elective surgery, and to evaluate the relationship of these values with the Han Scale and Cormack-Lehane classification and their effectiveness as an indicator of difficult airway.
Lower abdominal operations; especially inguinal hernia repairs are one of the most frequently performed operations in the daily practice of pediatric surgeries.Regional anesthesia techniques are frequently and effectively used methods in postoperative pain control. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and caudal block in pediatric unilateral inguinal hernia operations
Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the effect of music therapy on the pain, anxiety, and comfort levels of patients who underwent bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. Methods: This research was conducted as a randomized controlled study in the hematology polyclinic of a university hospital. Music therapy will used with the intervention group throughout the procedure. During data evaluation, paired t-test, independent t-test and effect size will used. The sample group was calculated based on the sample groups of other studies in the literature (Çelebi et al., 2020; Özdemir et al., 2019). According to the preliminary power analysis results using the G.Power 3.1.9 program, the sample size was calculated at 80% power, at medium effect size at 5% alpha value. According to the analysis results, the sample size per group was calculated as 30. However, since there was 10% probability that some patients may drop, the sample size for the study was recalculated as 66 (Experimental Group: 33, Control Group: 33).The patients will informed about using music. In addition, it will explained that they could adjust the sound levels and that they should report when they are disturbed by the tone. Music continued throughout the process. Communication with the patient will maintained, and symptoms such as discomfort, anxiety were observed throughout the procedure. The music player will switched off after the procedure was completed. The patients will asked whether they had any discomfort while the music played. TThe music therapy will last an average of 30 minutes. After completing the procedures, the patient's pain, comfort, and anxiety levels were re-evaluated using VAS and STAI.
Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a sedative and anesthetic drug with known antioxidant properties.In this study, it was aimed to investigate the oxidative stress levels in patients undergoing on-pump CABG by measuring the thiol/disulfide levels and to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine infusion used in Coronary Bypass Surgery on dynamic Thiol/Disulphide Homeostasis.
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of video, which is watched by virtual reality glasses during the procedure, on anxiety, pain and patient satisfaction to women who have had pap smear test.
Forward head posture is one of the most common postural problems that we face today. Sitting for long periods in poor posture and the excessive use of electronic devices has become a high risk for this postural abnormality. The goal of this [interventional study] is to [provide the participants with simple and easy corrective exercises for this abnormal posture which they can do anywhere at any time and to provide postural education and awareness on the matter.
The investigators planned to investigate the effect of close monitoring on compliance and the factors affecting compliance among patients receiving PAP treatment due to OSA.This study was a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study approved by the hospital's ethics committee.One hundred twenty-eight patients were randomized as group one or two as group 1 is the study and group 2 is the control group. The first group was called by phone on the 15th day to ask if there were any complaints or problems with the device. Sequentially, they were called for controls at the end of the first, third, and sixth months. The second group was accepted as the control group, following our clinic's standard procedure in the first and sixth months. The patients who came to the control were asked if there were any problems with the device and any difficulties in use, and they were again informed about the devices and masks.
