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.
The aim is to ensure that the patients are functionally adequately and painlessly mobilized with the proximal femoral tumor resection prosthesis used, to increase the survival of patients who underwent wide resection, and to determine the complications of the treatment applied and the clinical performance of the Moment Tumor Hip Replacement Products used.
In this study, quadratus lumborum block (QLB), transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, and local anesthetic infiltration will be performed preoperatively in patients who will undergo unilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy operation under general anesthesia. Quality of recovery (QoR-15) score, postoperative acute and chronic pain levels will be evaluated.
Purpose: This study will conducted to the effect of three different techniques used during peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) application on vein visibility, pain and comfort in cancer patients receiving palliative care. Design: This is a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: The population of the research will be cancer patients who applied to Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital Oncology unit between April 2023 and November 2024. The number of applications due to palliative care and cancer treatment in the clinic in 2021 is 352 patients. For this reason, direct sample selection was not made in the study, and the sample calculation was made according to the number of patients registered in the unit and the results of previous research (Chiao et al., 2013; Aulagnier et al., 2014). Calculations were made using the "G.Power-3.17" program with 95% confidence, an effect size of 0.4, and a statistical test power of at least 80%. Accordingly, it was aimed to reach 120 patients, including at least 40 in each group. In the study, randomization will be made according to vein visibility.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different periapical surgery methods ("curettage+apical resection" and "curettage") on the bone regeneration and clinical healing without applying any material or with applying leukocyte and platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) to the periradicular intraosseous defect in the treatment of the teeth with large periapical lesions by following the patients for 12 months.
The aim of this clinical study is to show the effects of childhood traumas on emotional intelligence levels and personality beliefs in university students. The key questions it aims to answer are: Do childhood traumas have an effect on emotional intelligence levels? Do childhood traumas have an effect on personality beliefs? Do emotional intelligence levels have an effect on personality beliefs? A socio-demographic data form, childhood trauma scale, Bar-On emotional intelligence scale and personality beliefs scale will be administered to the participants. Researchers will compare Group 1 of those with childhood trauma to Group 2 of those without childhood trauma to see the impact of childhood trauma.
The word palliative comes from the Latin word "pallium" meaning "cover". The aim of palliative care is not to eliminate the cause of the disease; to alleviate the negative effects of the disease. Mandala painting, which is one of the non-pharmacological applications, is an art therapy technique that can provide psychological support and healing. Mandala painting is a safe and accessible activity that requires no special skills and can be used as a complementary strategy to support mental health. In the literature, it is stated that coloring mandala improves psychological symptoms and relieves the person. The artistic view of nursing is to understand the needs of the individual, the sources of anxiety, anxiety and stress, and then to develop practices that will increase his/her self-confidence and resilience by increasing his/her ability and competence level. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the effect of mandala painting applied to caregivers caring for palliative care patients on perceived stress, anxiety level and quality of life. This research, which is planned as a randomized experimental study with pretest-posttest control group, will be a study for informal caregivers who have patients in the palliative service of fethi sekin city hospital between May 2023 and December 2023. The sample will consist of 80 (40 experimental, 40 control) caregivers who accepted the research that met the research criteria. Experimental group will be composed of caregivers who will paint mandalas. In addition to verbal and written information, the Patient Description Form, Perceived Stress Scale (PSÖ), State-Trait Anxiety Scale (WHO) and Short Form (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale have been applied to the 1st Stage. measurement will be obtained. The program will be implemented for 4 weeks, 4 days a week. 16 pre-selected mandala drawings will be printed separately on A4 papers and a new drawing will be given to caregivers every week. Mandala coloring papers and 12 colored felt-tip crayons will be given to each participant by the researcher. After the end of the sessions, the second measurements will be obtained by applying the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), State-Trait Anxiety Scale (DSQ) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale.
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed and reliable surgeries among eye diseases. While cataract surgeries were performed under general or local anesthesia in previous years, they are now performed topically. Despite providing conscious sedation with agents such as benzodiazepines and opioids before and during surgery, patients experience pain, anxiety, and discomfort during the surgical procedure. One of the non-pharmacological methods used to relieve acute pain during surgical intervention is stress ball. It is also used to reduce pain and anxiety and increase patient comfort. The stress ball suppresses most of the nerves and muscles directly connected to the brain around the wrist and hand, stimulating nerve and muscle activity. This mechanism reduces the release of stress hormones, regulates blood pressure by providing relaxation and relief, and helps reduce anxiety and acute stress. When literature is examined, it is seen that stress ball application is effective on patients' pain, anxiety, and vital signs; however, no randomized controlled study has been found in which stress ball application was performed during cataract surgery. This study was planned to investigate the effect of stress ball application during cataract surgery on patients' anxiety, pain, and vital signs.
The ultimate goal of treating children with lower extremity differences is to improve quality of life, optimize function, and maximize participation by addressing the physical, social, and psychological effects of lower extremity differences. In the pediatric field, research has focused on the Body Functions and Structures area of the ICF framework, such as radiographic measurements of limb alignment and length, postoperative complications, and recovery time. Priority targets for children/parents are better captured in the Activity and Participation areas of the ICF framework. Developed in Canada, the Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL)was created to evaluate outcomes for gait-related interventions for children with cerebral palsy based on a wide range of children's and parents' goals. It was also developed for other childhood conditions associated with lower extremity disorders. The present study aimed to determine the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the "Gait Outcomes Assessment List for Children With Lower-Limb Difference Parent Version/ Child Version" in Pediatric Rheumatologic Diseases.
The investigators aimed to determine intracranial pressure changes during spinal and general anesthesia by using optic nerve sheath diameter and near infrared spectrometer in urologic surgery patients in lithotomy position. Also the investigators plan to evaluate to measure intrathoracic pressure effects to intracranial pressure.
The video-based therapy applications; will be applied in a non-three-dimensional (with desktop screen) way. In this application, there are different types of exercise programs that will work the upper extremity movements. The video-based therapy applications will be applied to individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP) who will be included in the study with the Xbox Kinect 3600 (Microsoft, Washington, USA) device. This study was planned to examine the effect of video-based therapy on upper extremity selective motor control and proprioception in individuals with Cerebral Palsy.
