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.
Purpose of the study; The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a compassion-based education program applied to mothers of children with cerebral palsy on compassion fatigue, depression, and psychological resilience.
Our study aimed to compare two different laryngeal masks, SaCoVLM™ Video Laryngeal Mask and blind placement with LMA Supreme, in adult patients undergoing short elective surgeries. The aim is to optimize the use of commonly used laryngeal masks in clinical practice and examine the differences in oropharyngeal leak pressures.
Patients' pulmonary functions and diffusion capacity worsen following lung cancer surgery. Diaphragmatic activity and lung compliance decrease due to surgery. Peripheral and respiratory muscle functions are impaired in patients with lung cancer, exercise capacity and physical activity level decreased. Patients have postural instability and balance problems. Inspiratory muscle training has increased inspiratory muscle strength in patients with lung cancer. However, there is no study investigating functional inspiratory muscle training in patients with lung cancer.
The study aims to determine the posture, balance and gait disorders objectively in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) and to investigate their relationships with disease-related parameters.
Regional anesthesia allows surgery without affecting the patient's level of consciousness.However, this may cause anxiety in some patients.In previous research, scientists have tried to prevent anxiety with non-pharmacological interventions such as music and cognitive therapies.Virtual reality is thought to offer an immersive experience that can alter the mind's perception of pain. Scientists have found in previous preliminary studies that virtual reality is safe and effective as an adjunct to standard sedative/analgesic protocols for reducing patients' pain and anxiety during endoscopy, colonoscopy, dental treatments, burn dressings, and labor. In this study, it is expected that anxiety scores, postoperative analgesic need and intraoperative sedation need will decrease, recovery quality will improve and patient satisfaction will increase in patients who will undergo upper extremity surgery under regional anesthesia and watch videos through VR glasses.
Ankle sprain is a commonly encountered condition in clinical practice, constituting approximately 15-30% of all musculoskeletal injuries. Long-term studies have demonstrated that up to 73% of patients experience at least one more ankle sprain following an acute ankle sprain. Inadequate treatment of acute ankle instability can lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI) in 30-70% of cases. Treatment approaches for CAI are classified into conservative and surgical methods. Typically, conservative treatment is initially employed to address proprioceptive deficits and static impairments. Passive, unidirectional treatments such as injections, electrotherapy, and ice, which do not target muscle strength, kinetic chain, tendon capacity, and cortical control, are reported to be insufficient or ineffective in treating CAI, relying solely on symptomatic relief. Therefore, therapeutic exercises are fundamental in CAI treatment, leading to positive developments in parameters such as strength, dynamic balance, functional status, quality of life, and injury risk. Among the most commonly used exercise approaches are proprioceptive and resistive exercises. Upon reviewing the literature, it is observed that bipedal exercises have been employed from the early stages of CAI. However, due to clinical symptoms such as pain, insecurity, and fear associated with loading the affected limb, patients tend to avoid putting weight on the affected limb, resulting in the frequent use of bipedal exercises in the early phases of rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to comparatively examine the effectiveness of unipedal exercise interventions used in the early stages of rehabilitation for individuals with CAI in terms of pain, functional stability, fear avoidance, disease severity, functional performance, balance, and patient satisfaction, in comparison to bipedal exercise interventions.
The aim of the study is to investigate the applicability of virtual reality-mediated functional status assessment of patients diagnosed with stroke. Remote assessment of patients and remote rehabilitation (tele-rehabilitation) has an increasing application area in individuals with chronic neurological diseases. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the upper extremity and balance functions of stroke patients with the developed software.
This study is a randomized controlled experimental study planned to investigate the effect of motivational interviewing on health management self-efficacy and quality of life in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.
The aim of this study is to compare ultrasound-guided perineural injection of the median nerve with classic minimal incision surgical technique for median nerve decompression in patients diagnosed with mild, moderate, and severe carpal tunnel syndrome.
Dental anxiety is a psychological condition marked by fear and worry about potential negative experiences during dental treatment, often accompanied by a feeling of loss of control. Dental anxiety is common in children and adolescents and is associated with a lower quality of life related to oral health. Furthermore, it correlates with an increased incidence of untreated caries. Using behavioral management techniques can help children cope with dental anxiety, making it easier for them to undergo treatment in a positive and healthy way. Primarily aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a robot-pet to reduce dental anxiety in children. Additionally, the research aims to compare the efficacy of this technique with the audiovisual distraction technique and to evaluate children's perceptions regarding the use of a robot-pet.
