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.
Rhomboid intercostal block is used to block lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves between T3 and T9 dermatomes. Serratus anterior plane block is used to block lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves between T2 and T6, in addition, it is also known to block thoracodorsal nerve and long thoracic nerve. Both of the blocks are usually performed for postoperative analgesia following breast surgery. The primary hypothesis of the study is that FEV1 value of the patients who will receive modified radical mastectomy (MRM) and rhomboid intercostal plane (RIP) block combined with serratus anterior plane (SAP) will be higher than FEV1 value of the patients in the no-block group. The secondary hypothesis is that RIP+SAP blocks will provide reduction in the pain scores and opioid consumption in the postoperative first 24 hours.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of body awareness levels of teachers working in primary schools on work motivation and quality of life. In addition, the age, gender, height, weight, period of experience in the profession, smoking, branch, education level and current disease status of the teachers included in the study were also examined according to the questionnaire and evaluation scales. At the same time, the postures of the teachers were also evaluated. The universe of the research consists of teachers working in public schools in Istanbul between April 2022 and September 2022. The sample, on the other hand, was determined as a total of 120 healthy volunteer teachers, 60 women and 60 men, who teach in 4 primary education institutions in avcılar and esenyurt districts of Istanbul. Before starting the study, approval was obtained from the ethics committee of non-interventional clinical studies of Istanbul Arel University. Permission letters were obtained from the 4 primary education institutions where the study would be conducted and added to the ethics committee application form. The importance and purpose of the study were explained to all teachers who agreed to participate in the study. All necessary information was given on the subject that the results of the study would be used for scientific purposes, their identities would be kept confidential, and participants could withdraw from the study at any time, and their written consent was included in the informed consent form.
Of the patients who meet the inclusion criteria, 82 will be determined prospectively. Randomization will be determined by means of a computer program called Research randomiser, provided that the number of patients in the experimental and control groups is equal (41:41), regardless of the characteristics of the patients such as age and gender. The group to which foot bath will be applied will be the experimental group. Other patients will be included in the control group. Patients who do not meet the study criteria and do not agree to participate in the random selection will not be included in the study. Experimental group: Individuals who applied to the urology service for TURP or TURM will be informed about the study 1 day before the operation, and the questions in the patient introduction form will be asked to the patients who declared that they agreed to participate in the study in writing and verbally.

Eligibility assessment: Of the patients who meet the inclusion criteria, 82 will be determined prospectively. Providing randomization and separation for intervention: Randomization will be determined by means of a computer program called Research randomiser, provided that the number of patients in the experimental and control groups is equal (41:41), regardless of the characteristics of the patients, such as age and gender. The group to which foot bath will be applied will be the experimental group. Other patients will be included in the control group. Patients who do not meet the study criteria and do not agree to participate in the random selection will not be included in the study. Experimental group: Individuals who applied to the urology service for TURP or TURM will be informed about the study 1 day before the operation, and the questions in the patient introduction form will be asked to the patients who declared that they agreed to participate in the study in writing and verbally. On the morning of the surgery, the RCSQ will be applied to the patients to determine the preoperative sleep quality and the Patient follow-up form will be applied to determine the confounding factors that may affect sleep, and after the patient comes from the surgery and the sedation effects have passed, at 21:00 (to prevent the patient from doing any activity after the application and to rest after the foot bath). It was determined as 21:00-22:00 hours for the purpose.) socks, etc., if any, on both feet of the patient. clothes will be removed. In case of using antiembolic stockings, the patient's stockings will be rolled up to the ankle for footbath application (with the approval of the physician). The foot will be examined visually and with the hands and it will be determined that it does not show any signs of disease (pressure injury, discoloration, wound, etc.). The patient will be informed that the footbath device is disinfected before each use and that water-proof bags will be placed on the device to prevent the foot and water from coming into contact with the device in order to allow repeated use. The temperature of the water will be adjusted to 400C with an infrared temperature meter (Non-contact digital thermometer) and both feet will be placed inside the footbath device. The patient's feet will be kept in the footbath device for ten minutes. After the foot bath, the patient's feet will be completely dried with a towel and the existing socks and anti-embolic socks will be put on again (Meltem Nurse). On the morning of the first postoperative day, the patient will be asked the questions in the RCSQ and follow-up form, and the data collection process of the study will be terminated. Control group: After informing the individuals who applied to the urology service for TURP or TURM about the study, the researcher will receive their informed consent in written form. The information required for the study of the patients in the control group 1 day before the operation will be recorded in the Patient Information Form by the service nurse (Meltem Nurse / Gizem Nurse). On the morning of the surgery, the RCSQ will be applied to the patients to determine the preoperative sleep quality and the Patient follow-up form will be applied to determine the confounding factors that may affect sleep. In the morning of the first day after the surgery, the RCSQ will be applied to the patients to determine the sleep quality on the postoperative day 0 and the Patient follow-up form will be applied to determine other possible factors that may affect sleep, and the data collection process of the study will be terminated. No foot bath application will be in question for the patients in the control group.
Hand grip strength has been shown to be a predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in the elderly population. This study aims to investigate whether measurement of hand grip strength could be used as a predictor of prolonged hospital stay after cardiac surgery in elderly patients.
The aim was to determine the effects of digital game play on children's pain, fear and anxiety levels during suturing. Data was obtained from 84 children between the ages of 8-17 at the Pediatric Emergency Department between 16 January and 19 March 2020, using the Socio-Demographic and Clinical Characteristics Form, the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Fear of Medical Procedure Scale (FMPS), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH). While the study group (n=42) played digital games during the suturing procedure, the control group (n=42) did not play digital games.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of lyophilized Cornus mas L. fruit powder with/without diet therapy on biochemical parameters and anthropometric measurements in patients with metabolic associated fatty liver disease.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on sleep quality, fatigue, quality of life, depression and serum BDNF and irisin levels, which are important biomarkers of sleep in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
In addition to pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological methods are also used to control back pain and anxiety. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of 30 degrees raised supine position and back support applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography from the femoral artery on back pain, anxiety and patient comfort. This research was planned as a pretest-posttest randomized, controlled, experimental study in order to determine the effect of the elevated supine position and back support application applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography with femoral artery access on back pain, anxiety and comfort levels of patients. Research Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University SUAH Hospital Cardiology intensive care unit September 2021 - September The sample of the research was determined by power analysis. According to the calculation made, the sample; With an effect size of 0.90, a margin of error of 0.05, a confidence interval of 0.95, and a power of 0.95, it was calculated that there should be 35 people in each group to represent the universe. "Patient Information Form", "Numeric Pain Intensity Scale VAS", "State- The necessary information of the patient will be collected with the "Trait Anxiety Scale" and the "Immobilization comfort scale". After the information of the patient whose hemodynamics is provided, the experimental group will be given a 30 degrees Elevated Supine Position and the back area will be supported with a 36x33x10 sized silicone gel pad that prevents sweating, and the measurements will be repeated at the 2nd and 4th hours after the CAG procedure. The patients in the control group will have the same measurements at the 0th hour, 2nd hour and 4th hour after the femoral angiography procedure. During this period, the patients will remain in the straight supine position without back support, which is routinely applied in the clinic.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of ischemic compression and low-level laser therapy methods combined with exercise on the myofascial trigger points in women with Chronic Pelvic Pain and to determine which method is more effective. Methods: It was a parallel designed, single-blind pilot randomized clinical trial. Patients were enrolled in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa). The patients were diagnosed by a gynecologist (F.G.U and C. Y.), referred to the clinical laboratory of physiotherapy and rehabilitation to participate (by physiotherapists K.S. and E.K.M.) in the trial from September 2017 to June 2019. Twenty-eight women patients with Chronic Pelvic Pain were included into the trial. Patients were randomized into two groups. Group 1 received ischemic compression and Group 2 received low-level laser therapy twice a week for 6 weeks. Both groups received the same standard exercise program. Pain, range of motion, pelvic floor symptom severity, quality of life, satisfaction, anxiety, and depression were assessed after 6 weeks and 1-year follow up.
About one-third of women experience no or mild symptoms during their menopausal life, while another third experience moderate symptoms, while the remaining one-third may experience severe symptoms. It is stated that hormone therapy, one of the pharmacological methods, is accepted as an effective and standard method in the management of menopausal symptoms, including sleep disorders and depression, despite its side effects. However, due to the health risks associated with hormone therapy, it is stated that many women do not want to use this treatment option and turn to complementary and alternative medicine to alleviate menopausal symptoms. It is stated that physical, mental and psychological problems of women can be treated with non-pharmacological methods such as relaxation, breathing exercises, touch therapy, and music therapy as a complementary and alternative medicine approach in the world and in Turkey. It is stated that the healing effect of music has been known among societies since ancient times. Today, with technological developments, it is stated that music does not only rest the soul, but also has a cognitively stimulating effect and a motivating effect in cases where verbal communication cannot be performed. When the national and international literature is examined, there are many studies on non-pharmacological methods for menopausal symptoms, while the effect of music therapy on depression in menopausal women was examined in only one study in Turkey. However, no study was found in which the music therapy method was used for both depression and sleep quality in menopausal women. For this reason, the aim of the study was to determine the effect of music therapy, which is a non-pharmacological method, on sleep quality and depression in menopausal women.
