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.
Motorized traction and non-surgical spinal decompression treatments are relatively new treatments for which there is insufficient evidence in the literature. In this study investigators aimed to retrospectively compare the effectiveness of these treatments, which are in the field of their routine practice in their clinic.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of deucravacitinib compared with placebo in an active moderate to severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) population.
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of locally applied injectable platelet-rich fibrin in women with stress urinary incontinence. We searched whether there was a decrease in the severity of urinary incontinence after the injection of platelet-rich fibrin. The participants will answer questionnaires about urinary incontinence before and after the injectable platelet-rich fibrin treatment.
Effective pain control after thoracotomy increases the patient's respiratory functions and related quality of life, reduces the length of hospital stay and the amount of analgesia use. Kinesiology taping has been used in sports injuries for many years and has been used in recent years to reduce pain after major surgery. This study was conducted to examine the effect of kinesiology taping on pain, respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength in patients who underwent thoracotomy.In this prospective randomized controlled experimental study, individuals between the ages of 20-75 who underwent thoracotomy with posterolateral thoracotomy and who agreed to participate in the study were included. Unlike the control group, kinesiology taping was applied to the study group for 7 days after surgery. Pain, respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength, amount of analgesic drug use, and quality of life were evaluated preoperatively, postoperative day 0, before tape application, postoperative 1st day, postoperative 2nd day, postoperative 7th day and postoperative 1st month.
Pes Planus is characterized by the descent of the medial longitudinal arch, eversion of the hindfoot, and dorsiflexion and abduction of the midfoot. Disorders in the bones of the foot, dysfunction of the tibialis posterior muscle, shortness of the Achilles tendon or weakness in the muscles may pose a risk for pes planus. In a study in which 80 female participants aged 65 and over participated voluntarily, it was shown that 90% of the deformities seen in the foot were pes planus. In another study conducted with adults aged 18-21 years, pes planus was found with a rate of 13.6%. In a study in a group of 500 people aged 18-25 years, this rate was found to be 29%. Since exercise, physical activity and walking for a long time will cause foot and leg pain in people with pes planus, the level of physical activity of these people may be limited. There are studies examining the relationship between pes planus and different physical parameters. It has been determined as a result of some studies that the balance, which is one of these parameters, is negatively affected by the presence of pes planus. According to the literature, many studies have used the Y test in the evaluation of dynamic balance in individuals with pes planus. However the reliability of the Y Balance Test, which is a valid and reliable method for assessing balance in healthy individuals, has not been found in individuals with pes planus.
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the classical (2-4 points to the muscle proximal) application of botulinum toxin in the treatment of spasticity with the application along the length of the gastrecnemius muscle. The main question it aims to answer Is botulinum toxin more effective in the treatment of spasticity than the classical application applied along the length of the gastrocnemius muscle? Participants will be evaluated for spasticity before and 1 month after injection. Researchers will compare classical versus application along the length of the muscle to see if there is a reduction in spasticity.
Today, there are many studies on wheelchair basketball players. However, these studies do not indicate the relationship between the quality of life, life satisfaction and anxiety levels of wheelchair basketball players, in the extent of the knowledge. As a result of this study, it is aimed to obtain information about the quality of life, life satisfaction and anxiety levels of wheelchair basketball players.
The morbidity and mortality associated with being overweight or obese have been known to the medical profession since Hippocrates, more than 2500 years ago. Pain that develops following bariatric surgery may prolong recovery time. Most morbidly obese patients have obstructive sleep apnea and cardiac comorbidities. In these patients, prolonged postoperative pain may cause early ambulation and delay performing deep breathing exercises. Using regional anesthetic techniques results in less opioid use and better pain management. External oblique internal costal block; It is a new block that provides dermatomal sensory blockage involving T6-T10 in the anterior axillary line and T6-T9 in the midline. It can be used as part of multimodal analgesia in laparoscopic cases. There is no study in the literature regarding the use of external oblique plane block in bariatric surgery yet.
Measles, can be prevented and eliminated by vaccination, is a highly contagious viral disease that can lead to serious complications, disability, and death. As a result of the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) strategic plans, the annual global incidence of measles decreased by 75% over the period 2000-2015, and the estimated global mortality rate fell by 73%. For the current 2019 period, the European and the Eastern Mediterranean Region has recorded respectively more than two-fold and 1.5-fold increase in reported measles cases. As it is known, no specific antiviral treatment exists for the measles virus therefore, vaccination is still the most effective method of preventing disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the measles cases in districts where the refugees live quite intensely.
Intensive care units (ICUs) are care centers where many different technological tools and equipment are used to support the highest level of life functions for patients with severe physical condition. With the developing treatment and care methods, the use of more tools and equipment for invasive or non-invasive procedures has increased, however, complications related to the use of devices and the complications caused by them have also increased. Intensive care centers are centers where invasive procedures are frequently applied and instruments are used frequently, and central venous catheters (CVCs) are widely used, especially for patient-related reasons. CVCs have become one of the most important tools of intensive care units due to the different areas in which they are used and the benefits they provide.
