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: To examine the effects of core stabilization and aerobic exercises on dialysis adequacy, functionality level, and quality of life in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The secondary aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of intradialytic core stabilization and aerobic exercises in HD patients. Materials and Methods: Patients who received hemodialysis treatment for 4 hours, 3 days a week were planned to be included in this randomized controlled study. Patients participating in the study will be randomly divided into 2 groups. Grup 1 was planned to be given core stabilization exercises during hemodialysis three times a week for eight weeks; Group 2 was planned to be given aerobic exercise during hemodialysis three times a week for eight weeks. It aimed to evaluate the patients in the weeks before the start of the treatment and the week after the end of the treatment. Personal information form for evaluation, dialysis adequacy, quality of life questionnaire-kidney disease quality of life-36, piper fatigue scale, hospital anxiety and depression scale (hads), Pittsburgh sleep scale, five times sit and stand test, 10 m walking test , tinetti balance and walking test, and 2-minute step test were planned to be used.
When the literature is examined, it has not been found that the use of massage applications in relation to the functional level of individuals who have undergone abdominal surgery. We think that our study will be the first in this field. Therefore, this study will lay the groundwork for future studies on the subject. In the future, it is aimed to establish a standardized evaluation method to determine the functional levels of individuals who have undergone abdominal surgery and to determine the ideal duration and frequency when a decision is made to apply foot massage in the future with the data obtained as a result of this method. In this study, the effectiveness of foot massage on the functional level of individuals with high post-surgical kinesiophobia will be investigated.
Some undesirable complications such as pain, swelling, trismus, paresthesia, hematoma, infection and, albeit rare, fractures may occur after lower impacted wisdom tooth surgery. More effective wound closure methods with fewer complications have positive effects on postoperative recovery. Suturing is the most commonly used wound closure technique after lower impacted wisdom tooth surgery. Suturing, which is the last step of the operation, contributes to wound healing in order to reposition and stabilize the tissue components and to control bleeding. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silk and polyester sutures used in wound closure techniques, which are frequently used in lower impacted wisdom teeth surgery.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most common problem in the musculoskeletal system and causes disability. The prevalence of chronic low back pain is 80% in women. Although there are many causes of low back pain, it is often not possible to find the exact cause of the pain. The consequences of chronic low back pain include musculoskeletal problems, decreased sleep quality, decreased quality of life and limitation in activities of daily living, depression, anxiety, and decreased body awareness and kinesiophobia. Kinesiophobia is defined as the fear of re-injury gained after injury, which reduces physical movement and activity. Patients with kinesiophobia develop the idea that movement will cause re-injury and add to pain. This situation leads to avoidance of physical activity and functional disability in the long term. Body awareness, on the other hand, is the awareness of the messages that the brain receives from other parts of the body and from the outside. These messages that the person receives include not only his own body and movements, but also information such as the characteristics and locations of other objects in the environment. This information is blended over time and turns into experiences of the body. Today, a rehabilitation method consisting of exercise programs, in which the active participation of the individual is ensured, is recommended, especially in the treatment approach to chronic low back pain. Within the scope of physiotherapy programs; heat applications and other physical therapy agents, exercise applications are recommended. Yoga is an alternative exercise practiced in CLBP as a body-mind exercise. Yoga is an easy-to-apply, non-invasive, cost-effective, scientifically proven practice.
This study was conducted on the effects of visual and/or auditory distraction techniques applied to children aged 7-12 years who applied to Çanakkale Mehmet Akif Ersoy State Hospital Gynecology and Pediatric Emergency Service during invasive procedures (blood sampling, intravenous access or intramuscular injection in the deltoid region). Kaleidoscope, music concert, virtual reality glasses) is a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of children on pain, anxiety and fear of medical procedures.
Stress management in dialysis patients plays a key role in reducing these negativities and in maintaining both physical and mental well-being. In dialysis patients, on the other hand, the effectiveness of stress ball use on comfort and stress was evaluated, and no study was found that evaluated its effect on anxiety.
Postpartum sexual functions may be affected in women who have had a vaginal delivery by performing an episiotomy. The aim of this study is to compare the frequency of sexual dysfunction between women who were delivered with a mediolateral episiotomy and those who were delivered without an episiotomy. Materials and Methods: A total of 179 women who gave birth in a tertiary center were included in the prospective study. The patients were divided into two groups as women with and without mediolateral episiotomy. The groups were compared in terms of age, body mass index, educational status, and hospitalization time for delivery and Arizona sexual experiences scale (ASEX).
The randomized controlled experimental study sought to determine the impact of the training structured according to Meleis's Transition Theory on postpartum difficulties and quality of life in primipara mothers.
Recently, a predictive model has been developed to assess the risk of myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest (MICA) during and after surgery using the American Society of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. In this MICA model, 180 hospital databases were used in 2007 and 2008 and included more than 200 000 patients. The Gupta score developed with this MICA model identified five predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest: type of surgery, functional status, creatinine increase (>130 mmol/L or >1.5 mg/dL), age, and American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class. The Gupta score is presented as an interactive risk calculation program in the 2014 guideline of the ACC/AHA. The risk can be calculated simply and accurately at the bedside or clinic. The Gupta score is in spreadsheet format and can be downloaded online at http://www.surgicalriskcalculator.com/miorcardiacarrest. Unlike the previously used indexes, a scoring system has not been established. An estimate of the probability of myocardial infarction/cardiac arrest is provided for individual patients. In this study, the primary aim was to compare the frequency of cardiology consultation requests according to the use of the Gupta score. The secondary aim is to evaluate the perioperative clinical results (coronary angiography, ECHO, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmia, 30-day mortality, etc.).SPSS 21.0 (Version 22.0, SPSS, Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) program will be used for statistical analysis. After applying the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, the student's t-test will be used if the distribution is normal, and the Mann-Whitey U test will be used if the distribution is not normal. Fisher's exact test or chi-square test will be used for categorical variables. Results p<0.05 will be considered significant.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of breath exercise on post-operative anxiety level, sleep and recovery quality after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surger. This was a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample comprised 115 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (control:57; experimental:58). One day before the operation, the participants in the experimental group were given breathing exercise training, and they were applied 5 times a day for 10 repetitions until the 30th day after the operation.
