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.
To assess the immediate effects of hamstring stretching alone or combined with myofascial release of the hamstring muscle on masseter muscle activity, pressure pain threshold, active mouth opening, hamstring flexibility, and forward head flexed posture in recreationally active participants. The young, healthy, recreationally active adults aged 18-25 years were included in the study. The participants were randomly separated into two groups of equal number. Static stretching alone was applied to one group and this was combined with myofascial release techniques (SSMR) for the other group. Masseter muscle activity was assessed using a NORAXON® surface electromyography device. Both pre-and post-intervention, mechanical pressure algometer was used to measure the pressure pain threshold, hamstring flexibility was evaluated using the maximum hip flexion and active knee extension test, the maximum mouth opening (MMO) was measured with the millimetric ruler, and forward flexed posture was evaluated using the tragus to wall distance test.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk factors that are linked with each other, which is a metabolic dysfunction, which contains a combination of multiple. It is known that METS plays a role in the development of many diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's. Studies have revealed that neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, abnormal lipid metabolism and impaired vascularization, which play a role in the pathogenesis of MetS, affect the structure of the brain and cognition. Atherosclerosis of the carotid artery, increased brain atrophy and white matter damage are potential explanatory mechanisms that lead to an impact on cognitive skills in patients with MetS. In addition, the existence of MetS components such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension alone also negatively affects cognitive functions, and the level of cognitive influence also increases as the number of components an individual has increases. The literature reports that learning, executive functions, processing speed, attention/working memory and global cognitive functions are affected in individuals with MetS, but no consensus has been reached on this issue. Some studies say that MetS causes a significant decrease in cognitive functions, while some studies indicate that this difference is not significant. The aim of our study is to proof the relationship between MetS and cognitive functions with metabolic syndrome components. H1:There is a relationship between the MetS and cognitive functions.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of using reflective blankets, which is a passive insulation product, on preventing UPH in patients scheduled for abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. It will also be evaluated whether the reflective blanket has an effect on the patients' thermal comfort and shivering levels. Inconsistent results have been reported in studies using reflective blankets. This inconsistency may be due to the fact that it was used at different stages of the perioperative process or that the body was not adequately isolated. In this study, we aimed to use the reflective blanket throughout the perioperative process and to isolate the patient's body as much as possible. Reflective blankets are inexpensive, practical to use and easy to store. With the positive results that can be obtained from this study, it can be used not only in operating rooms, but also in intensive care or other services where hypothermia is likely to occur. Within the scope of the study, a Reference group (warm air blower device), an Intervention group (reflective blanket) and a Control group (routine hospital procedure) will be established. The study was planned to be conducted with a total of 102 patients, with 34 patients in each group. In this study; patients' vital signs, coagulation tests, thermal comfort and shivering levels will be evaluated. Patients in the Reference and Intervention group will be warmed before the surgery (15 minutes), during the surgery, and until they are transferred from the post-anaesthetic care unit to the clinic. No heating process will be applied to the control group by the researcher. All patients transferred to the clinic will undergo the routine care procedure of the hospital.
The aim of the study is to examine the urinary incontinence knowledge level and attitudes towards treatment in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation students. With this study, students' knowledge levels about urinary incontinence and treatment parameters will be determined, and it will be possible to show whether there is a difference between genders in terms of knowledge levels.
There are mostly ovarian cysts under adnexal torsion from gynecological emergencies. There are many studies in the literature examining the effect of adnexal detorsion on ovarian reserve. However, there is no study in the literature examining the effect of concomitant cystectomy. In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate whether the cystectomy procedure performed together with detorsion has an additional effect on the ovarian reserve in cases of ovarian torsion with cysts.
Cancer; It is defined as a large group of diseases that can start in any organ or tissue of the body, occur with the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, and occur when these abnormal cells go beyond their normal limits and spread to neighboring tissues and other organs. The leading goal of cancer treatment is to eradicate the cancer. Cancer treatments are divided into two basic groups as local and systemic.Systemic treatments include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted molecular therapy, and immunotherapy. The use of drugs that slow down, control, stop and destroy cancer cells in the treatment are called chemotherapy, and the drugs used for this purpose are called chemotherapeutics (cytostatics) or antineoplastic drugs. Quality of life is personal well-being and is an expression of subjective satisfaction in different areas of life. This concept includes family, work life and socio-economic conditions. It includes the difference between the ideals, expectations and dreams of individuals and the reality, that is, the perception of satisfaction and well-being that the individual receives from his daily life. In the medical field, it is the expression of the individual's physical, emotional and social well-being. The symptoms that cancer patients encounter both in cancer and in the treatment process affect the quality of life of the patient and cause the treatment to be interrupted. Therefore, symptom management is very important in order not to hinder treatment and to stop the risk of morbidity and mortality. Most of the symptoms of advanced cancer patients can be managed with pharmacological or non-pharmacological methods, and this management is an expected skill for all clinicians who take care of patients with cancer. Pecha Kucha (PK), meaning "chat voice" or "chat" in Japanese, refers to a well-crafted, fast and concise presentation format. In a PK presentation, each presenter is only allowed to show 20 PowerPoint slides for 20 seconds each on a timer. In other words, the presenter has only 20 seconds to discuss each slide before the next slide appears, and the presentation time is limited to 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Ideas are explained visually with pictures and graphics, and there is little text on the slides.
Tetanus-diphtheria vaccine administered to pregnant women may cause pain during and after administration. Due to the pain that may occur, the compliance of pregnant women towards the vaccine may be impaired. Therefore, there is a need for methods that are safe for pregnant women to reduce pain. One of the applications used to reduce pain during intramuscular injection is local mechanical vibration application. With the application of vibration, the tactile receptors are stimulated and the pain is localized in a more limited area. One of the methods used to reduce the pain felt during intramuscular injection is the application of shotblocker applied to the injection site. The protrusions on the Shotbloker temporarily suppress the pain thanks to the pressure it exerts on the skin. Thus, the gates to the central nervous system are closed and pain is reduced. Mechanical vibration and shotblocker procedures applied before injection are non-invasive. Being simple and safe, it is one of the appropriate methods that can be preferred by pregnant women to reduce injection pain. Therefore, in our study, it is aimed to examine the effect of local mechanical vibration and shotblocker application on pain and patient satisfaction before tetenosis-diphtheria vaccine in pregnant women.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is the prototype of a group of diseases known as central sensitivity syndromes, whose relationship with pain sensitization is well defined. Central sensitization (CS) is also one of the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain, which is a common complaint in FM patients, is likely to be one of the clinical manifestations of central sensitization. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between CS and neuropathic pain.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the etiopathogenesis of isolated hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia with abnormal glucose tolerance in children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and to evaluate the role of glucagon and pancreatic insufficiency on hypoglycemia in CF. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do isolated hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia with abnormal glucose tolerance have different etiopathogenesis? 2. What is the role of pancreatic insufficiency in these two conditions? Participants were asked to perform 3-h OGTT and to take blood samples. Researchers compared with healthy peers to see if there is isolated hypoglycemia in OGTT and how is the glucagon response to OGTT in healthy peers.
This study is carried out to examine the effect of skin-to-skin contact on the pain and stress level of the first intramuscular injection after elective cesarean section. The universe of the research will be women who have had elective cesarean section at Darıca Farabi Training and Research Hospital. The sample size of the study was calculated using the G*Power 3.1.9.2 program. The minimum number of individuals to be included in the sample of this study was calculated by taking G*Power 3.1.9.2, effect size: 1.42 α= 0.05, power: 0.95, and the sample size was determined as at least 14 mothers and their newborns in each group (skin skin-to-skin contact group: 14, non-skin-to-skin contact group: 14). In the study, possible data losses will be foreseen and 60 newborns and mothers, 30 of which will be in the intervention group and 30 in the control group, will be taken. The group of the participants included in the research will be divided into two groups by determining the random number generation program on the website called "Random List". (https://www.randomlists.com/). After obtaining the necessary ethics committee and institutional permissions for the implementation of the study, participants who had a cesarean delivery and who met the inclusion criteria of the study will be interviewed by going to the institution. Those who accept and want to participate in the research will have the Voluntary Consent Form read and their signatures will be taken. Term newborns meeting the criteria will be divided into intervention and control groups. The data will be collected by the researcher working in the delivery room of the hospital through face-to-face interviews. In the study, newborns who received skin-to-skin contact during the first IM injection will be included in the intervention group, and newborns who have been routinely injected intramuscularly in the delivery room will be included in the control group. In the study, all the steps of the intervention and control group newborns before and after the application will be carried out by the researcher.
