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.
In Turkey, only 55% of patients with type 2 diabetes have been diagnosed, and 91% of these patients have been receiving treatment. The rate of patients reaching the treatment target is 50%. The pandemic has also affected diabetic patients. It is aimed to determine the characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes (HbA1c >=10) with poor metabolic control and to evaluate the extent to which metabolic control can be achieved in 12 months.
The investigators conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study based on the placebo technique to evaluate the efficacy of TTNS versus placebo in patients with OAB after stroke. The main questions aimed to be answered are: What are the effects of Trans Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) on incontinence-related clinical parameters and quality of life in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) after stroke compared to the placebo group? Participants (n:22) with post-stroke AAM who meet the exclusion and inclusion criteria will be divided into 2 groups using a randomization table. The first group will receive TTNS (n:11) and the second group will receive placebo TTNS (n:11). Measurements will be performed twice in total, before treatment and at the end of treatment (4th week).
This randomised controlled study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a neuromuscular training-based exercise program on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries and performance in overhead athletes with shoulder pain. The main hypothesis is; H0: There is no difference between the "Thrower's Ten" exercise program and the neuromuscular training-based exercise program applied to overhead athletes with shoulder pain, on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries, and performance. H1: The effects of a neuromuscular training-based exercise program on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries and performance in overhead athletes with shoulder pain are superior to the effects of "Thrower's Ten" exercise program
Stomas are most commonly used in the gastrointestinal tract as ileostomy or colostomy. Although colorectal cancers are the most important factor causing intestinal stoma opening, intestinal ostomies are also used in cases such as congenital anomalies, obstructive or inflammatory bowel diseases, traumas requiring surgery, large defects caused by colorectal injuries as well as sigmoid colon volvulus and ischemic colitis. In stoma surgery performed to increase the duration and quality of life of individuals, the patient's compliance with the stoma and awareness of possible complications are important. Conditions such as peristomal skin problems, noisy bowel movements, stool leakage and pain make it difficult to adapt to the stoma.In addition, despite all the advances in stoma care products and surgical techniques, individuals are faced with stoma complications. Therefore, individuals with stoma should be closely monitored for complications. Inappropriately selected stoma site or bag/adapter system, lack of knowledge and skills related to stoma care can be listed among the possible causes of complications. Complications such as edema, bleeding, ischemia and mucocutaneous separation may develop in the first days after stoma surgery. In studies evaluating patients in terms of stoma compliance and complications in the literature, it has been observed that mobile-based trainings given to patients increase their stoma compliance and reduce the incidence of complications. With the mobile-based training planned to be used in the study, it is thought to contribute to the ability of individuals to perform stoma care independently. With the decrease in peristomal skin lesions and stoma complications, it is predicted that the quality of life of patients with stoma will increase, self-care competence will be formed, and health expenditures and therefore national health expenditures will decrease. It is thought that this mobile training application will not only provide support to patients with stoma but also guide healthcare professionals. It will also contribute to closing the shortage of stoma and wound care nurses in hospitals.
Affects such as pain, swelling, tenderness, deformities, limitations, strength and function losses, skill and coordination deficiencies in the hand joints, which are frequently seen in rheumatism patients with hand involvement, are included in body structure and function disorders within the framework of International Classification of Function System. Leap Motion Controller is used in hand rehabilitation because it is small in size, low-cost, portable, non-contact, easy to use and provides visual and auditory feedback. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of technology-based rehabilitation on joint range of motion, grip strength, functionality and disease activity in adult individuals with rheumatic disease with hand involvement; and also to compare these effects with the effects of the hand rehabilitation program implemented under the guidance of a physiotherapist and the control group that continues its routine life.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of the clinical removal of fixed partial dentures (FPDs) on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and the anxiety values of individuals and to determine the risk factors of high anxiety levels. 300 participants were included in this study. Six different reasons for the clinical removal of FPDs (oral examination, denture renewal, root canal treatment, tooth extraction, periodontal treatment, and composite filling restoration) were defined. Questions pertaining to the United Kingdom Oral Health-Related Quality-of-Life Measure (OHQoL-UK), the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS), and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - State (STAI-S) and Trait (STAI-T) were answered.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an online video training on fears surrounding childbirth given to male partners before the pregnancy of their spouses. The study conducted with 43 male (22 intervention; 21 control) participants. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was given video training on pregnancy and the birth process. "Descriptive Information Form" and the "Male-Childbirth Fear Prior to Pregnancy Scale" was used for data collection. Before the intervention, it was found that the fear level of childbirth was low. The video training given to male partners before the pregnancy of their spouses diminished the fear of birth but did not create a significant difference. These findings support long-term training that includes video tutorials for parents before birth. Interactive, participatory birth preparation training is likely to enhance the training's appeal for male partners.
Introduction: It is now known that the microbiota is far beyond the microbial communities living in certain parts of our body and functions like a metabolic organ. In addition, the microbiota, through its metabolites, is involved in the pathophysiology or progression of a wide range of diseases, from atherosclerotic diseases to metabolic diseases and even neurological diseases. Among these metabolites, trimethylamine n-oxide metabolite has been shown to be particularly effective on atherosclerotic heart diseases.
This study aims to examine the effects of M-TAPA applied for postoperative analgesia in patients who had major intraabdominal surgery on the postoperative pain score, the change in the postoperative total opioid requirement and the side effects.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the use of pocket cards by students taking the "Care of a Child with Special Needs" course on students' self-efficacy perceptions and course success. 1. H01. There is no difference between the self-efficacy perception scores of the students in the group who use pocket cards in the care of children with special needs course and the students in the group who do not use pocket cards. 2. H02. There is no significant difference between the course success scores of the students in the group who use pocket cards in the care of children with special needs course and the students in the group who do not use pocket cards.
