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.
Hospitalization, medical interventions to be performed, and uncertainties specific to surgical intervention create a certain level of anxiety in the patient. It is known that being in the hospital negatively affects the coping mechanisms of the patient. In the pre-surgical period, the nurse's practices that will facilitate the patient's coping with the situation and managing his anxiety have a positive effect on anxiety during and after surgery and on anxiety-related symptoms. For these reasons, it is aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality on pre-surgical anxiety in this study.The hypothesis of the study is that watching videos with virtual glasses will reduce preoperative anxiety.
Aim of the present study was to determine the intraradicular microbiota of previously root canal-treated teeth with apical periodontitis using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and to investigate the antibacterial effectiveness of different irrigation activation methods [ Sweeps laser and PUI group ] that will make classical chemomechanical preparation more effective. This superiority, parallel, randomized clinical trial was conducted in the clinic of the Endodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul Medipol University, Istanbul. 30 patients with apical periodontitis (one tooth each) were randomly allocated into two groups according to the used (n=15, for each): the Sweeps laser group (A) or the vdw ultra group (B). Total bacterial loads, as well as the amount of Enterococcus faecalis (E.faecalis) were determined before (S1) and after (S2) chemomechanical preparation and finally, after intracanal medication (S3) by means of ddPCR.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a very common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood characterized by short attention span, impulsivity and hyperactivity. It is also known that sensory integration problems are seen together with the basic symptoms of ADHD. Studies indicate that children with ADHD have difficulties in perceiving and processing sensory stimuli, and in relation to this, they have difficulty in producing appropriate sensory responses at school, at home and in social environments. However, it was observed that the interventions related to ADHD did not focus on the sensory-motor dimension enough, and focused more on cognitive or social skills. Although current research indicates the presence of sensory integration disorder in children with ADHD, there are no studies showing the effectiveness of sensory integration intervention. Our study was planned to examine the effect of Ayres Sensory Integration intervention on sensory-motor, cognitive, behavioral skills and social participation in children with ADHD. Materials and Methods: After the evaluation, 90 children with ADHD will be included in the study by dividing them into intervention (n=45) and control (n=45) groups by simple randomization method. Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy intervention will be applied to the intervention group for 10 weeks, 3 times a week, with a session duration of 1 hour, while the control group will continue the drug treatment and after a waiting period of 10 weeks, Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy will be applied after the second evaluation. Participants, Sensory Profile (SP), Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT), Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC), Stroop Test TBAG Form (Stroop TBAG), Childhood Executive Functions Inventory (CHEXI), Participation and Environment Scale for Children and Adolescents (PEM-CY), Conners Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS), Conners Parent Rating Scale (CPRS), Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-2 (BOT-2) and Goal Achievement Scale (GAS) both before and before intervention. and post-group change as well as between-group differences will be evaluated.
The goal of this observational study is to test the accuracy of an artificial intelligence tool used for identifying ultrasound-guided block regions in healthy volunteer participants. The main question aims to answer is: • Is the artificial intelligence tool effective for identifying selected ultrasound-guided nerve block regions and their anatomical landmarks? Three anesthesiology trainees perform ultrasound scanning for 8 nerve block regions on participants. Peripheral nerve and plane block regions are; - Adductor canal block region - Axillary brachial plexus block region - ESP (erector spinae plane) block region - Femoral block region - PECS (pectoral) block region - Popliteal block region - Rectus sheath block region - Superficial cervical plexus block region
Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) Therapy is an individualized intervention designed to address specific underlying sensorimotor issues that may affect children's performance during daily routines and occupations. The intervention takes place in the context of play, emphasizes the active participation of the child, involves a collaborative relationship between the occupational therapist and the child, and focuses on participation-oriented outcomes that are collected at regular intervals throughout the intervention program. In general, its content is to improve the child's occupational performance. The program, which will be carried out in accordance with the Ayres Sensory Integration Fidelity Measure®, it is aimed to reduce the autism-specific symptoms of the child with autism and the dependence of the child on the caregiver in self-care activities. It is predicted that this whole process will increase the participation and his performance of the child with autism in his occupations related to his daily life. H0: Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy has no effect on the occupational performance of the child with autism spectrum disorder.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio-taping versus self-mobilization applied to the cervical region of long-duration electronic device users.
Evaluation of prenatal optic chiasm (OC) is important for the differential diagnosis of septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), which is a congenital optic disc anomaly, and the absence of the cavum septum pellucidum (CSP). Septo-optic dysplasia is associated with a wide range of neurological abnormalities, including hypoplasia of the visual pathways, CSP agenesis, and developmental delay.
Internal jugular vein cannulation can be performed with the blind technique under ultrasound (USG) guidance or using classical marker points. It has been shown that USG-guided interventions reduce the complication rate compared to the method performed with the blind technique (4%/13.5%). In addition, the initial entry success rate in the USG supported group is 65%. , this rate remained at 45% with the blind technique. Although Pleth variability index monitoring is a noninvasive method, it is a technique that consistently predicts fluid sensitivity in patients under mechanical ventilation. The aim of study is before applying USG guided catheterization; We think that by revealing the factors of the patient that are effective on the number of interventions, necessary measures can be taken for the success of catheterization as a result.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations in abdominal surgery. Effective analgesia in the postoperative period; It is of great importance in terms of acceleration of recovery, prevention of atelectasis, reduction of endocrine and metabolic stress response, reduction of thromboembolic complications, protection of cognitive functions, prevention of chronic pain development, and reduction of hospital stay . Intravenous paracetamol, NSAID/cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors, opioids, local anesthetic infiltration in the port area, intraperitoneal local anesthetic insufflation or plan blocks can be used in the treatment of postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Operation, tissue trauma, anesthesia, drugs given to the patient, type of anesthesia, blood loss, temperature changes and pain cause postoperative stress response
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of laughter therapy on tex anxiety and educational stress in 8th-grade students.
