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 study is to characterize the distribution of pain phenotypes in people with chronic neck pain and to determine the effects of pain phenotypes on pain severity, functional status and quality of life. Participants will be examined to determine the type of pain and questions will be asked to assess pain severity and impact.
Trauma, neurological disorders and psychological problems, which are the etiological factors of temporomandibular joint dysfunction, can be seen in patients with traumatic brain injury. The aim of this study is to investigate temporomandibular joint dysfunction in patients with traumatic brain injury. Participants (traumatic brain injury patients and healthy volunteers) will be evaluated once for temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
The aim of this study: It was aimed to observe the effects of intraoperative and preoperative PECS II block on postoperative pain, amount of analgesic use and shoulder joint range of motion in patients who underwent breast cancer surgery. This research was planned as an observational study. For this purpose, patients who underwent breast cancer surgery in İzmir Bakırçay University Çiğli Training and Research Hospital General Surgery Clinic will be included in the study at the 1st hour after the operation. Patients who underwent preoperative Interpectoral - Pectoserratus Plan Block in the operation will be included in Group 1, patients who have been applied Interpectoral - Pectoserratus Plan Block between the muscle planes by the intraoperative surgeon will be included in Group 2, and patients who have not applied any block will be included in Group 3. Pain numerical rating scale (numering Rating Scale) at postoperative 1st, 2nd, 6th, 12th and 24th hours in patients, patient recovery scores (QoR15 Turkish version), amount of tramadol used in patient-controlled analgesia, time to first rescue analgesia, adverse events (pneumothorax, nausea, vomiting, itching, hematoma, allergic reactions) and quality of life, shoulder joint range of motion, hand grip strength (also on day 1) and disability level will be measured on postoperative day 10. H0- Preoperative interpectoral - pectoserratus plane block affects the level of postoperative pain. H1- Preoperativeinterpectoral - pectoserratus plane block does not affect the level of postoperative pain. H2- Intraoperative interpectoral - pectoserratus plane block affects postoperative pain level H3- Intraoperative interpectoral - pectoserratus plane blockk does not affect the level of postoperative pain.
Interleukin (IL)-38 is the newest member of the IL-1 family. It can bind to receptors through various pathways and regulate the formation and function of inflammatory cytokines. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can start with localized inflammatory reactions created by the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth against microorganisms and then result in loss of teeth. The aim of this study is to compare the IL-38, IL-1β and IL-10 levels of healthy and periodontitis individuals.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate in elderly patients for the frequency of sarcopenia and its relationship with mortality in a university hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are; 1. What is the frequency of sarcopenia in elderly patients at emergency department? 2. Is sarcopenia associated with mortality in an elderly patient admitted to the emergency department?
The validity of the dual-task F8W test in predicting falls in older adults has been confirmed. As far as we know, there are no studies evaluating the validity and reliability of the dual-task F8W test in stroke patients. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the F8W and dual-task F8W test in stroke patients.
Background: Patients undergoing surgery are at risk of developing pressure injuries since they remain in a fixed position on the operating table under anesthesia for a long time. In the management of surgical patients, the prevention of surgical pressure injuries is the best strategy, requiring effective risk assessment and timely implementation of preventive interventions. Aim: To evaluate the effect of preoperative and postoperative patient repositioning other than intraoperative positions on the development of pressure injuries. H1 Hypothesis: In the preoperative and postoperative periods, there is a significant difference in the development of pressure injuries between patients who have been repositioned using non-surgical positions compared to those that did not undergo this intervention. Methods: This study has been designed as a prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria of the trial will be allocated to the intervention and control groups using a random number generator. The participants to be assigned to the intervention group will be placed in different positions other than their surgical positions on the night before surgery and until the first 36 hours after the operation, while the control group will only receive routine care. The groups will be evaluated in terms of pressure injury development for at least 72 hours until the end of the postoperative sixth day or discharge from the hospital.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of written and video based home exercise program in patients with symptomatic lumbar disc herniation on pain level, function and quality of life.
The purpose of the study was to assess how preterm babies' vital signs, feeding time, and gastric residual volume were affected by using a pacifier only or a pacifier with breast milk during orogastric tube feeding.
Today, circulatory system and heart diseases, especially hypertension, are increasing day by day, and sudden and unexpected cardiac arrests due to these diseases are more common. Therefore, in the face of cardiac arrest that can develop without a certainty of time and place, Basic Life Support (TYD) is an important intervention that can save the lives of individuals with the least damage. Training on BLS, which is compulsory for healthcare professionals, is also given to some employees selected from other institutions. From this point of view, future teacher candidates who can be a role model in the society, at the same time reflect the importance of the subject to the group they work with and continue to teach, are an important group in terms of these trainings. Therefore, in this study, digital storytelling and face-to-face applied techniques will be given to teacher candidates via social media (Whatsapp) and the impact of these trainings on the knowledge and skill levels of teacher candidates will be evaluated comparatively.
