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.
Mothers usually have the primary role in bringing up children and developing health-related behaviors. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mothers' dental anxiety and oral hygiene on the dental anxiety and periodontal health of their children. The study included 280 randomly selected children, aged 4-12 years, who came to the dentist for the first time and their mothers. Demographic and oral hygiene information of the mothers was collected through a questionaire. Dental anxiety of the mothers and children was assessed using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and the Venham Picture Test (VPT), respectively.
Impacted third molar extraction is a very common surgical intervention. Post-procedure pain causes various post-operative changes such as edema and trismus. Minimizing these changes will enable patients to overcome the post-operative process more easily. In this study, it was aimed to compare the possible effects of I-PRF (Impregnated Platelet Rich Fibrin) type 1 collagen with L-PRF (Leukocyte Platelet Rich Fibrin) on postoperative complications and wound healing after lower impacted wisdom tooth surgery. There are studies in the literature showing that very different treatment methods are used for buried twenty-year-old surgery. However, although there are studies in which intra-socket L-PRF, I-PRF, and collagen plugs are applied, there is no accepted standard for comparing the effects of L-PRF and I-PRF impregnated type-1 collagen with each other or for postoperative comfort. The aim of the study is to observe the effect of 2 different techniques on postoperative complications and possible changes in wound healing and discuss whether there is a difference and the effective one.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, a respiratory disease characterized by chronic airflow limitation that is not completely reversible. Impaired pulmonary functions, decreased exercise capacity and quality of life and increased dyspnea perception is prevalent in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD.It was demonstrated exercise training has beneficial effects in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD. The purpose of this study to evaluate the effects of chair-based exercise training on exercise capacity, respiratory functions, dyspnea, balance, depression anxiety and quality of life in COPD patients in acute exacerbation.
To examine the effect of the Helfer skin tap technique and ShotBloker application on pain and fear experienced during intramuscular injection in children aged 6-12 in the pediatric emergency unit. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine its effect on fear. The population of the study will be children aged 6-12 years who applied to the Tarsus State Hospital, and Pediatric Emergency Clinic and the sample will be 177 children who will undergo intramuscular intervention and meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. In data collection; Data collection form, Wong-Baker Scale, and Child fear scale will be used. In order to examine the mean scores of pain and fear according to intramuscular administration techniques in children, appropriate tests will be used by making an analysis of conformity to normal distribution.
Arthroscopic Shoulder surgery can be done not only under general anesthesia but also regional technics. In this study we aimed to compare the cost and time effectiveness of regional anesthesia and general anesthesia.
The present study aimed to investigate clinically the cleaning effectiveness of different treatment modalities, that is, oral irrigator or interdental brush usage addition to routine brushing and examine interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-8 levels in gingival crevicular fluid of orthodontic patients. The null hypothesis was that oral irrigators would be effective compared to interdental brush in the oral care of individuals who are orthodontic patients.
The aims of the study were to determine the comfort and quality of life, to examine the relationship between them, and to identify factors that affect the comfort and quality of life in older cardiac patients. The cross-sectional study was conducted in the inpatient cardiology clinic of a university hospital in Bolu. Overall, 209 patients, who met the inclusion criteria, consisted of the sample. A descriptive characteristics form, the General Comfort Scale and Quality of Life Index Cardiac Version-IV was used to collect data. The study was reported in The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Statement. Mean of the General Comfort Scale scores was 16.18±0.82, and the mean of the Turkish Quality of Life Index (QLI) Cardiac Version-IV scores was 2.97±0.39. Physical, psycho-spiritual, environmental, and sociocultural comfort levels associated with both the general QLI Cardiac Version-IV scale and sub-dimensions of its (p<0.05). The location of residence, perception of income status, frequency of hospitalization, dietary adherence, routine health control, and dizziness were the independent variables associated with the General Comfort and Quality of Life scale (p<0.05).
Low back pain is the fifth most common reason for doctor visits, affecting about 60-80% of people in their lifetime. Despite this, there are not enough diagnostic and treatment methods in the literature to fully elucidate non-specific low back pain. In this case, the research showed that non-specific low back pain should be handled with a biopsychosocial approach, and its relationship with fascia and myofascial meridians should be investigated.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection on masticatory performance and nutritional status in temporomandibular disorder patients with bruxism caused by both intra-articular and extra-articular pathologies based on Research Diagnostic Criteria for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The baseline and end masticatory performance, pain intensity, nutrition and anxiety statuses, and anthropometric measurements will be compared.
