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 of this clinical study conducted in accordance with the information in the literature is to compare the effects of administering tranexamic acid during orthognathic surgery, at different doses. Specifically, investigators aim to compare the effects of administering 1 ampoule IV (approximately 3 mg/kg) and 2 ampoules IV (approximately 6 mg/kg), and evaluate their impact on intraoperative bleeding (ml), surgical duration (min), postoperative swelling, and intraoperative surgical field evaluation (Fromme Scale), by comparing them with control group (applying no drug administration) patient data.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate and compare the short-term efficacy of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and extra corporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT) on pain, sensitivity, handgrip strength, and functions in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE). Material and methods: Forty five participants (age range, 18 to 65 years) with unilateral elbow pain were randomized into two groups. HILT group (n = 22) and the ESWT group (n = 23). The HILT and ESWT were administered three times a week for three weeks, and each treatment was combined with exercises. All patients in both groups were evaluated with ultrasonography for common extensor tendon(CET) thickness. A visual analog scale (VAS), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH), and hand grip strength test were used to evaluate the patients before, one, and six weeks after treatment.
İt is aimed to examine the effect of chiropractic cervical manipulation on pain, functionality and grip strength in patients with lateral epicondylitis and whether it is preferable to placebo.
Sixty-six FMS patients received the same exercise program for 8 weeks and divided, synchronous (n: 33), asynchronous (n: 33). Pain (Visual analog Scale, VAS), functional limitations and disabilities (Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, FEA), health-related quality of life (HRQol; Short Form-12, SF 12), catastrophizing (pain catastrophizing scale, PCS), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HAD), functional capacity (6-minute walking test, 6MWT), muscle strength (Arm curl test) joint position sense (Laser Cursor Assisted Angle Repetition Test, LI-RATT) were assessed at baseline, mid-treatment (week 4), end of treatment (week 8), and eight weeks after treatment (week 16).
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of breastfeeding education and humor-based practices in the antenatal period on breastfeeding motivation and attachment. 32-36 patients who applied to Bartın Gynecology and Children's Hospital for the project. It will consist of 64 pregnant women (32 experimental and 32 control group) at gestational week. Pregnant women who agree to participate in the project between these months will receive 30-45 minutes of humor practice after 30 minutes of breastfeeding training in the first session. The education and humor application will be implemented again a week later, on the same day, at the same time and in the same place. In the humor application, dance performances, applause, singing and laughter accompanied by 5 songs determined by the researchers will be included. The training program prepared for breastfeeding education will be applied to pregnant women. Then, humor will be applied. A pre-test will be administered before the training, a mid-test 1 month after the training, and a post-test in the 3rd month. Project data will be collected using the 'Introductory Information Form', 'Breastfeeding Motivation Scale' and 'Maternal Attachment Scale'.
In this study, black cumin extract oil was used in elderly individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis (OA). The effects of foot reflexology and knee massage on pain and fatigue symptoms. It is aimed to examine and research which of these two applications is more effective.The study, planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, included a total of 150 participants. The data consists of participants who receive outpatient treatment in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Unit at a university hospital, are over 65 years old, and have no problems with their perception after the Mini Mental Test. After randomization, participants were divided into five groups, with 30 participants in each group. Groups; It consisted of 1) Reflexology with Black Cumin, 2) Placebo Reflexology, 3) Knee Massage with Black Cumin, 4) Placebo Knee Massage and 5) Control groups.
Chronic cervical pain is a common disorder with a prevalence of approximately 35% in adults. Cervical radicular pain is defined as radiating pain in the upper limb caused by compression or inflammation of the nerve roots ascending from the intervertebral foramen to the spinal cord, due to disc herniation or spinal stenosis. C7 and C6 are the two most commonly affected nerve roots. Various treatment modalities are available, including oral medications, physiotherapy, and epidural steroid injections. However, chronic and persistent pain that develops as a result of some patients not responding to these treatments. Ultrasound-guided selective cervical nerve root block and pulsed radiofrequency are interventional treatments used in patients with radicular cervical pain unresponsive to conservative treatments. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment of peripheral nerves may provide long-term pain relief in patients with short-term pain relief with a local anesthetic block. Studies have shown the effectiveness of PRF therapy applied to selective cervical nerve roots in relieving cervical radicular pain.
The study was conducted from 15th April 2021 to 15th August 2021. It employed a pretest-posttest design with control and training groups. In this study, a pretest-posttest design including control and training groups was used. Pre-assessments were taken from young adults who reported that they wanted to participate in the study via social media accounts and e-mail and who met the study criteria, and two groups were formed by the simple randomization method. The study group received 8 weeks of self-management training. The control group was informed about self-management for 1 week. Final evaluations were conducted for both groups after eight weeks.
This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of ketamine and lidocaine infusion in patients with chronic peripheral neuropathic pain. Patients who received intravenous ketamine infusion and the other patient group who received intravenous lidocaine infusion were evaluated in the study. Pain scores and quality of life were assessed with scales before treatment at two weeks, two months, and six months after treatment.
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Knee osteoarthritis is a common joint pathology causing joint pain and ambulatory limitations. In primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgeries, medial parapatellar (MP) and subvastus (SV) approaches are frequently used. The MP approach provides good exposure and is more widely used. In the SV approach, the vastus medialis muscle is preserved. Some argue that the extensor mechanism may heal earlier with the SV approach. In this study, unlike previous studies, the investigators aimed to quantitatively compare the early outcomes of MP and SV approaches, through shear wave elastography (SWE) measurements isolated over the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 20 patients with indications for TKA due to primary osteoarthritis, divided into MP and SV groups. SWE measurements of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles were performed preoperatively and at 3-month follow-up. Clinical scores (Knee Society Score and WOMAC) and straight leg raising time were recorded both preoperatively and postoperatively.
