There are about 14886 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.
Epilepsy is a disease that can be seen in everyone, including neurological, chronic, elderly and children. An estimated 50 million people in the world have epilepsy, patients have a history of two or more seizures, the exact cause is unknown, it negatively affects home, work and school life, and it directs individuals from their independent roles to semi-dependent and fully dependent roles (Smith & Wagner & Jonathan, 2015). "Neuronal networks hypersynchronization" develops epileptic seizures, can cause insomnia, and sleep quality may decrease with drug treatment (Sünter and Ağan, 2019). NREM sleep causes seizures through the "ictal and interactive effect" of sleep (Alp and Altındağ, 2014). Insomnia increases seizure discharges, neurological and systemic complications may develop, and serious morbidity and mortality may occur (Özer, 2005). Epilepsy patients frequently experience daytime sleepiness and nighttime insomnia (Gümüşyayla and Vural, 2017). Complementary medical approaches are also recommended along with drug treatment. Sleep hygiene training is recommended for sleep health in epilepsy as in chronic diseases. With good sleep health, symptoms can be eliminated and sequelae can be prevented by reducing epileptic discharges (Gammino at all., 2016). Quality sleep is essential for physiological and psychological health, and sleep disorders can be corrected with sleep hygiene training (Günaş, 2018). Randomized studies including sleep hygiene training are needed to prevent seizure recurrences, prevent or treat comorbid psychological diseases, and improve life activities of epilepsy patients (Lee at all., 2015). One-third of people's lives are spent in sleep, regular and adequate sleep protects physiological and psychological health, sleep hygiene training contributes to the recovery of sleep disorders and accompanying psychological comorbid diseases, sleep hygiene training is cost-free and easy to implement, where daily activities and behaviors are regulated, appropriate environmental conditions are provided. By regulating the circadian rhythm, melatonin is released during sleep at night and sleep disorders are prevented by preventing excessive cortisol release (http://www.psikiyatri.net/uyku-hijyeni / Access date: 28 May 2022; Alp and Altındağ, 2014; Güneş, 2018). . No research has been found on sleep hygiene training to relieve sleep deprivation, which is common in epilepsy patients. With good sleep hygiene, sleep and quality of life can be improved and epileptic seizures can be prevented or reduced. Purpose of the research; To determine the effect of sleep hygiene training given to epilepsy patients on seizure frequency and sleep quality. Non-drug clinical research is an experimentally planned research with a pre-test post-test control group trial model.
Abdominal bloating and distension (ABD) are the most commonly gastrointestinal symptoms reported by patients with various functional gut disorders such as functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome and it is frequently associated with constipation. The pathophysiology of ABD is complex, often multifactorial and poorly understood. The reseach was hypothesised that short-term self-manual approaches and exercise for core muscles would have a positive effect on the symptoms of ABD.
This study aimed to evaluate the 12-month clinical performance of direct composite restorations by placing polyethylene fibers in different directions in endodontically treated posterior teeth. In this clinical study, Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray/Japan) adhesive system, G-aenial Universal Injectable (GC/Tokyo, Japan), G-aenial A'chord (GC/Tokyo, Japan) composites, and polyethylene fiber (Ribbond, USA) were used. In the restoration of the teeth included in the study, polyethylene fiber was placed in different directions according to the amount of remaining tooth tissue and cavity preparation. The restorations were divided into three groups according to the direction of fiber placement ('O' shape, mesiodistal I shape, buccolingual I shape) (n=12). Restorations were evaluated according to modified USPHS criteria in 1st week and 6th months from the placement date. The Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis of the difference between the groups, and the Cochran Q test was used for the significance of the difference between time-dependent changes within each group (p<0.05).
More than 3 billion of the worlds population are young people under the age of 25. According to WHO data, one million girls under the age of 15 give birth each year, mostly in low- and middle-income countries, and 3 million adolescent girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are exposed to unsafe abortions. Failure to meet the family planning needs of young people in a timely, adequate and appropriate manner can have significant public health impacts. According to World Health Statistics, the global birth rate for girls between 15 and 19 years of age is 49 out of 1000, and early pregnancy and childbirth can lead to serious health and social problems. In addition, this age group does not have sufficient information about pregnancy and its complications, and their access to and utilization of health services is low. Inadequacies in the education of adolescents on sexual issues and sociocultural differences further increase the sexual and reproductive health risks of young people in the university period. Information and services that will enable individuals to understand their sexuality and help them protect themselves from sexual risks should be provided specifically for that age. Therefore, it is important for young people to know family planning methods. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of family planning education to be given with gamification method, which is different from the classical method in the literature, on the knowledge and attitudes of university students.

Lipedema is a disease characterized by bilateral abnormal fat deposition in the upper and lower extremities. Pain is a common symptom in lipedema.Vitamin D plays an important role in chronic pain. Vitamin B have analgesic role in some neuropathic pain conditions.This study aimedto evaluate the relationship between vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels and neuropathic pain in lipedema.
"In intensive care units, therapeutic paralysis has been a routine treatment method for many years in a select group of patients. Sufficient and appropriate sedation in patients undergoing therapeutic paralysis is crucial to prevent awareness and reduce the risk of excessive sedation. Both inadequate and excessive sedation levels can be highly detrimental to the patient. Clinical assessment may not always provide accurate information regarding sedation depth. Recently, the frequency and workload of therapeutic paralysis treatment in intensive care units have increased due to COVID-19 pneumonia. Therefore, the investigators believe that inadequate sedation may be common in these patients. Processed electroencephalogram parameters such as bispectral index or patient state index (PSI), routinely used in operating rooms and intensive care units, are commonly used to indicate sedation depth. In this study, the investigators aimed to determine sedation levels in patients during paralysis, assess the prevalence of inadequate or excessive sedation, and observe the doses of sedatives and analgesics used."
The most important indicator of the fertility period, which has an important place in a woman's life, is the menstrual cycle, which begins with menarche and continues until menopause. In this natural process that takes place every month physiologically, some women experience significant pain [1]. This condition, defined as dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), is classified in two ways as primary dysmenorrhea (PD) and secondary dysmenorrhea (SD) [2,3]. PD is the most common women's health problem, especially in adolescents and young adults (10-20 years of age) [1,5]. When studies on the incidence and severity of primary dysmenorrhea are examined, the incidence of PD is seen at rates ranging from 40-90% [5-8]. The main goal of the treatment approach to PD, which negatively affects women's quality of life in many ways, is to relieve the woman by reducing the pain. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is one of the non-pharmacological and integrated treatment methods for women with primary dysmenorrhea. This practice, which is also referred to as EFT stroke/touch in most sources, is based on expressing the problem by touching the energy meridian points of the body, as in acupuncture and acupressure. Considering the results of the studies, it can be said that EFT is effective in the management of pain and the negative effects caused by the restrictions in the life of the person (social and daily living activities, etc.) [27-30]. Thanks to EFT, it is thought that women will contribute to the reduction of the fear and anxiety of experiencing pain just before menstruation and the anxiety that their life will be limited due to this. Studies investigating the effect of EFT on pain have reported that it is effective in coping with pain [33-35]. However, no randomized controlled study was found in the literature search for the application of EFT in high school students with dysmenorrhea. For this reason, it is thought that if EFT is applied in this age period with a high incidence of dysmenorrhea, important findings can be achieved in terms of parameters such as pain intensity and menstrual symptoms, and it will contribute to the literature by shedding light on similar studies. [36]. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the emotional freedom technique applied to high school students with primary dysmenorrhea on pain severity and menstruation symptoms.
Individuals diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome by a physical therapist based on MRI results and examination findings will be included in the study. 40 people will be randomly divided into blood flow restrictive exercise (BFRT) and structured exercise program (SEP) groups, 20 people in each group. Participants will receive two evaluations: before starting treatment and immediately after 4 weeks of treatment. Pain, shoulder ROM, shoulder functional level, quality of life, shoulder muscle strength, grip strength, and sleep quality evaluation will be performed. The treatment program will be 5 days a week for a total of 4 weeks. The treatment will be individualized by calculating the appropriate resistance loads for the exercise program. All participants will undergo progressive exercises in sessions conducted by a physiotherapist.
