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.
Introduction: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that can affect all age groups and is characterized by episodic and reversible wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough attacks. According to a 2016 report by the United States Department of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the prevalence of asthma was 9.6% in children aged 5-11 and 10.5% in children aged 12-17. It has been shown that the prevalence of asthma under the age of 18, which concerns all childhoods, is 8.3%. Purpose: The aim of the study is to determine the effect of salt therapy rooms on the oxygen saturation, asthma symptoms and treatment needs of children with asthma. Material Method: The research was planned as an experimental study with experimental and control groups. Participants to be included in the study will be children between the ages of 4-10, diagnosed with asthma and without any other chronic diseases, who volunteer to participate. "Personal Information Form", "SPO2 measurements", "Asthma Symptom and Treatment Need Scoring / Daily Follow-up Form" and "Informed Voluntary Consent Form" will be used to collect data. The sample of the research was calculated using the GPower computer program. With power analysis, t-test in independent groups with a large effect size at α = 0.05 (d = 0.8) and in the calculation made to have a power of 95% of the study, it was found that a total of 70 children, 35 children in the control group and experimental groups, should be included. . "Personal Information Form", SPO2 measurement and Asthma Symptom and Treatment Need Scoring / Daily Follow-up Form" will be applied to the children in the experimental group before they are taken to the salt therapy room. The same procedure will be applied to the children in the control group. In the study planned to be carried out for 6 weeks, it is recommended that children repeat the session for 10 minutes daily, the first 5 sessions every day and the other 5 weeks once a week.
Assuming that the basic reliability of dynamic indices will increase with the application of functional hemodynamic tests after sternotomy and protective lung ventilation in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery, it is useful to predict fluid responsiveness after sternotomy in coronary artery bypass surgery patients ventilated with 6 ml/kg PBW (ideal body weight). We aimed to reveal the sensitivity and specificity of PPV and SVV changes by applying a lung opening maneuver.
The aim of these study to determine the prevalence of hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) infections and the prognosis of HDV patients in Turkey's southeast. The investigators intend to arrange training sessions for 250 family physicians in Diyarbakir, Batman, Mardin, and Sanliurfa in order to determine those goals. The investigators will talk about diagnosing hepatitis B virus (HBV), HDV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections during these events. To ensure that patients with simultaneous HDV infection are evaluated for HIV/HCV and to detect liver fibrosis with a non-invasive method.
Comparison of different types of transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques which are intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) and high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with spinal cord injury
Difficult airway management remains the leading cause of anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a warning sign of difficult airway management. Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis of this syndrome, but the STOP-BANG questionnaire is the preferred screening test. In this study, we wanted to find an answer to the question How successful is the STOP-BANG questionnaire in screening for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in predicting OSAS, difficult mask and difficult intubation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery?
In this study, the effect of nerve blockade and radiofrequency treatment applied to the nerve on pain in chronic migraine patients will be investigated. Occipital nerve blockade group (control group): Depending on the location of the pain, blockade will be applied unilaterally or bilaterally with 5 cc of 2% prilocaine for each sıde. Pulse Radiofrequency application to the greater occipital nerve will be applicated after radiofrequency cannula placed near the greater occipital nerve location with 42 degree, for 240 seconds.
Pelvic orientations observed in the pelvis during quiet standing position the standard orientation of the pelvis, causing pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity and pelvic rotation. There is a need to understand the relationship between these orientation disorders and gait. This is because the orientation of the pelvis both in standard standing posture and during gait is an integral part of physiotherapy assessment due to the various problems associated with abnormal pelvic position, including musculoskeletal disorders of the lumbar spine, pelvis, hips and knees. The aim of this study was to describe the morphology of pelvic orientation during static standing posture in an asymptomatic young Turkish population aged 19 to 29 years and to examine the relationship between morphologic changes and changes in pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity and pelvic rotation angles during gait.
Adolescence period; It is a transition period of rapid growth, development and maturation in biochemical, physical, social and spiritual terms, which lasts from the beginning of puberty to young adulthood. Adolescence is a predictable developmental transition period for the individual. They also encounter unpredictable situations (such as childhood illnesses). One of these conditions is Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, which is the most common metabolic endocrine system disease in adolescents. Type 1 diabetes is an important health/disease transition in the life of a child and adolescent. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of the "Adaptation to Adolescence and Type 1 Diabetes Management Training Programme", prepared in line with Meleis's Transition Theory, on the adolescent's developmental transition adaptation, self-efficacy for diabetes management and glycemic control.
Although there are studies in the literature examining the effects of chewing gum or using vitamin C on nausea and vomiting symptoms, no study has been found examining the effect of vitamin C gum on the severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin C gum on the severity of pregnancy nausea and vomiting.
Respiratory exercise devices can be grouped as respiratory muscle training (RMT) devices and incentive spirometers (IS). IS can improve pulmonary ventilation using visual feedback but cannot increase respiratory muscle strength. RMT devices strengthen the respiratory muscles by their resistance mechanisms but they cannot provide visual feedback. It has been stated that RMT increases exercise performance in healthy individuals. RMT devices usually allow only one of inspiratory muscle training or expiratory muscle training. The need to acquire 2 devices for combined training increases the cost. It is seen that the RMT devices available in Turkey do not allow combined training and a significant part of them do not offer sufficient loading range. The aims of the project are; to develop a multifunctional individualized respiratory exercise device originating in Turkey, and to analyze the clinical effects of an individualized respiratory exercise device on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and functional capacity in healthy individuals. The device to be developed in this project will be the first multifunctional respiratory exercise device originated in Turkey. The device will have the clinical features of IS and RMT devices and can be individualized according to the desired purpose. With the same device, the individual will be able to both improve the ventilation of the lungs like the IS and strengthen the respiratory muscles in the direction of inspiration and/or expiration with wide loading intervals. A total of 46 healthy individuals will be included in the study. The healthy individuals included in the study will be randomly divided into two groups experimental group (n=23) and control group (n=23). The individuals in the experimental group will be trained with an individualized respiratory exercise device for 5 days a week for 8 weeks. The individuals in the control group will be trained with Threshold® IMT + Threshold™ PEP training for 5 days a week for 8 weeks. In both groups, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and functional capacity will be assessed before and after the 8 weeks of training.
