Participants will get periodontal flap surgery treatment with/without electroacupuncture Researchers will compare EA and control groups to see if there is any relationship between acupuncture application and postoperative pain
Swallowing; It is a complex, dynamic, sensorimotor process involving more than 30 muscles located bilaterally in the oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal regions and involving the safe delivery of the food taken from the mouth to the stomach as a result of sequential and coordinated movements. The cervical region is important in terms of swallowing function, as it acts as a bridge between the oral and esophageal structures through the pharynx, hosts the larynx and upper respiratory tract, which plays an important role in safe swallowing, and contributes to the stabilization and preservation of posture thanks to the muscles in its structure. Craniocervical flexion (CCF) occurs at the atlantooccipital joint and upper cervical segments such as C1-2. While superficial muscles such as the SCM and anterior scalene muscles contract in cervical flexion, deep muscles such as the longus colli and capitis, which are mainly primary cervical stabilizer muscles, are activated in CCF. CCF is a movement felt as flexion in the upper part of the cervical region with a slight retraction of the chin. It is also known that the suprahyoid muscles are activated in CCF. Swallowing in the CCF posture has been shown to occur with less suprahyoid muscle activation. The cervical region must provide proper alignment, posture, and stabilization for effective and safe swallowing. Postural changes in the cervical region, and changes in the position of the hyoid bone cause changes in gravity, oropharyngeal structures, and muscle length-tension relationship, thereby changing the dynamics of swallowing function. Therefore, it is not possible to consider the cervical region separately from the swallowing function. However, the focus of the exercises to be chosen for the cervical region is different and the effects that are likely to occur may also be different. There is no study in the literature on the activation of superficial and deep muscles activated during swallowing of craniocervical flexion training exercises, which aim to improve cervical region mechanics by focusing especially on deep cervical flexors. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of craniocervical flexion training (CCF) on swallowing-related structures in healthy individuals.
Swallowing is the delivery of food taken from the mouth to the stomach at an appropriate rate with the sequential movements of the structures in the oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal regions. The change in swallowing function due to structural and functional changes in the structures responsible for swallowing is called swallowing disorder (dysphagia). The treatment of neurogenic dysphagia aims to prevent complications such as dysphagia-related aspiration pneumonia, airway obstructions, and malnutrition, and to regulate swallowing physiology. Swallowing rehabilitation created for this purpose consists of compensatory techniques and rehabilitation methods. Compensatory techniques include changing the consistency and properties of food, postural changes, and increasing voluntary control. Rehabilitation methods consist of exercise-based methods such as oral motor exercises, Shaker exercises, and tongue strengthening exercises. In addition to these rehabilitation methods, it has been reported that neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) positively affects swallowing function. It is known that cortical reorganization occurs due to sensory restimulation following the exercises performed in dysphagia rehabilitation. It has been reported that swallowing rehabilitation may also have positive effects on neural plasticity in patients with dysphagia. It is essential to transfer approaches that support neural plasticity to swallowing rehabilitation. The starting point of action observation therapy (AOT), which has just entered the literature, is based on motor learning-based approaches used in neurological rehabilitation, neural plasticity, motor imagery, and mirror neurons. Based on the fact that both motor image and movement observation can play a role in (re)learning motor control, AOT aims to provide activation of motor areas with movement observation and to develop a rehabilitation approach based on performing the observed actions. The AOT method consists of two stages. First, videos of the exercises to be done are created, and in the first stage, patients are asked to watch the video by focusing only on the video. In the second stage, patients need to practice the exercises they follow themselves. In this way, it is thought that the effectiveness of both motor learning will be increased. When studies on patients with neurogenic dysphagia are examined, the use of AOT, which is a new approach, in swallowing rehabilitation has not been found. Therefore, in this study, the creation of an AOT program based on mirror neuron and motor learning theory and its effect on swallowing function and quality of life related to swallowing will be examined in patients with neurogenic dysphagia. The investigators aim to increase the healing efficiency of the AOT program in patients with neurogenic dysphagia.
The goal of the study was to investigate effect of breastfeeding training program and nurse-led breastfeeding online counselling system (BMUM) on mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding attitudes, breastfeeding problems and postpartum depression we hypothesized that there would be differences between BG and CG groups in terms of breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding problems, postpartum depression and breastfeeding frequency. This was a randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to the breastfeeding group (BG; n = 36), or control group (CG; n = 36). Control group will receive only standart care breastfeeding group will receive standart care and web based breastfeeding support. Breastfeeding attitudes, infant feeding attitude breastfeeding problems and postpartum depression will assessment. The assesment point will be 32-37 gestational week, postpartum 1st day, 1st week, 3 months, and 6 months.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH) is present following exercise in patient after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and if so, if it changes with exercise intensity. A repeated measures and single-blinded randomized study were done. Thirty-eight patients 24 hours after TKA were randomly assigned to either low intensity exercises (LIE) group or high intensity exercises (HIE) group. An exercise programs lasted for five days during the hospitalization period. Pain severity was assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (0-10 mm). Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) were measured over quadriceps and biceps brachii and muscles immediately before and after exercise.
IIn this study, the investigators planned to investigate effectiveness of supplemental oxygen in patients (18-65 years) who were diagnosed as headache related to migraine without aura in the emergency department (ED). Patients who will be ordered standard migraine therapy (50 mg dexketoprofen and 10 mg metoclopramide HCl in 100 cc normal saline IV) by the physician blind to research, will be evaluated by the researchers before the treatment and patients met the study criteria will be included. Included patients randomly divided to two group, study group will receive supplemental oxygen with face mask for 1 hour. Patients' visual analog score (VAS) will be measured at 0th, 15th, 30th and 60th minute of treatment. If there will not be a 50% decrease at VAS score from the beginning, patients will be examined again by the physician again. Patients who will be ordered 100 mg tramadol as rescue therapy by the physician, will be continued to observed, VAS scores will be measured at 120th minute again. To avoid drug related bias, patients who will be ordered any other drug for primary care or rescue treatment other than mentioned above will not be included into the study.
