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.
The study will be conducted in Dokuz Eylül University Hospital, COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) intensive care unit. Three primary conditions will be sought for participants: 1. Cases whose treatment process resulted in death will be included in the study. 2. The cases must be confirmed with the diagnosis of COVID-19 by the RT-PCR (real time polymerase chain reaction) test. 3. The first-degree relatives must consent for the participation of the subjects in the study by their first-degree relatives. In the study, samples will be taken from the liver, kidney, lung, and heart. The samples will be stored in a protective solution and sent to the pathology unit. The examinations will determine the microscopic damage to these organs caused by COVID-19. Also, the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) will be investigated by RT-PCR in tissues. The presence of ACE-2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2) receptor and SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein antibody will be investigated by histochemical examination in tissues.
This study is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to examine the effect of white noise and swaddling methods in reducing the pain caused by orogastric tube insertion in preterm infants. This study is planned to be conducted with 4 groups, consisting of 3 experimental groups and 1 control group. White noise, swaddling method, and white noise + swaddling methods will be the interventions during the study together with the standard care and procedures for the experimental groups, while the control group will only have standard care and procedures during the study.
Effective postoperative pain control after arthroscopic shoulder surgery optimizes postoperative rehabilitation, reduces anxiety, and can increase patient satisfaction and postoperative healing by providing amnesia and sedation. Few literature is available for postoperative pain management, including intra-articular local anesthetic infiltration, regional nerve blocks, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with intravenous opioid, and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and gabapentinoid drugs. Recently, gabapentinoides such as pregabalin have also shown to have potential in the treatment of acute postoperative pain as part of multimodal analgesia, due to their possible opioid consumption-reducing effects and prevention of post-surgical chronic pain. Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant drug that reduces calcium entry into the nerve terminals of the central nerve and also reduces levels of substance P, glutamate and noradrenaline, all of which play a major role in creating a feeling of pain. It is well known that pregabalin reduces central sensitization and hyperalgesia after tissue injury by inhibiting calcium influx in voltage-gated calcium channels. These theoretical advantages have led to clinical trials to confirm the analgesic effectiveness of oral pregabalin for postoperative pain management in various surgical procedures.
During the cesarean section; Hypothermia can be seen due to reasons such as anesthesia, premedication drugs, cold operating room environment, exposure of tissues and organs, and use of cold intravenous fluids. Hypothermia associated with cesarean may affect maternal and fetal health negatively. As a result of hypothermia, coagulopathy, infection, undesirable cardiac events that cause an increase in oxygen consumption, delay in postoperative recovery and wound healing, postoperative nausea and vomiting, chills and relief may be observed in the mother. Newborns born from hypothermic mothers have lower body temperature, pH and Apgar scores. It is important to evaluate all women in terms of risk factors in the preoperative period in the prevention of hypothermia and complications related to hypothermia. Prevention of hypothermia, which has negative effects on maternal and newborn health, is one of the risks that the nurse can address independently. Therefore, this research; In order to determine the effect of heating different body areas using compressed air heating technique during cesarean section on hypothermia, tremor, thermal comfort, postpartum comfort and maternal satisfaction, a parallel group was planned as a randomized controlled trial. The study is planned to be conducted in Hacettepe University Adult Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Department delivery room and obstetrics service. Research data, Introductory Information Form (Appendix 1), Obstetric and Postpartum Features Form (Appendix 2), Patient Monitoring Form (Appendix 3), Termal Comfort Perception Scale (Appendix 4), Shivering Level Diagnostic Form (Appendix 5), LATCH Breastfeeding The Diagnostic and Measurement Tool (Appendix 6) will be collected using the Visual Analogue Scale (Appendix 7) and the Thermal Comfort Scale that will be developed by the researchers. Pregnant women who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the research. Women will be divided into 4 groups as the lower extremities are heated, the upper extremities are heated, the whole body is heated, and the control group. According to the group of women; It will be heated 30 minutes before surgery and 30 minutes after surgery with lower limb, upper limb or whole body. Women in the control group will not be heated.
This is a study for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL) who have previously received treatment with at least a BTK inhibitor. The main purpose is to compare LOXO-305 to idelalisib plus rituximab or bendamustine plus rituximab. Participation could last up to four years, and possibly longer, if the disease does not progress.
Acupressure, which is a type of nonpharmacological practice. Acupressure is a practice that provides energy flow by applying pressure to the special points of the meridians that innately carry energy in the body with stimulation bands, hands, and fingers. Acupressure is also known as acupuncture without needles. Because no needles are used in acupressure, acupressure is an easy, safe, effective, and economical method to learn and apply. There is no study to determine the effect of acupressure on acute pain, patient satisfaction and stress, which is applied to adult patients during the venipuncture procedure. In this context, the study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of acupressure on acute pain, stress level and satisfaction during venpuncture in adult patients.Patient Evaluation Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Visual Patient Satisfaction Scale and State Anxiety Inventory will be used in the study. The scales will be used before and after venpuncture. Acupressure will be applied to the adults in the acupressure group for 10 min before the venipuncture procedure. Pain, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels of the adults in the acupressure and control groups will be evaluated both before and after the venipuncture procedure.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) plus pembrolizumab (MK-3475) plus chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone in participants with advanced/metastatic gastroesophageal cancer. The primary study hypotheses are that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone for both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR), in participants with programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1 and in all participants.
The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the long term effects of traditional and modified static cross-body posterior shoulder stretching training in individuals with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) having glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD). Modified cross body posterior shoulder stretching group will receive static stretching in the modified cross-body stretching position and standard physiotherapy program. The traditional cross body posterior shoulder stretching group will receive static stretching and standard physiotherapy program. The Control group will receive only sham stretching and standard physiotherapy program.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and irreversible degenerative joint disease characterized by marginal bone hypertrophy, erosion, and subchondral sclerosis in the articular cartilage.It has been determined that being of advanced age and joint involvement due to osteoarthritis are a risk factor for addiction in activities and this increases the individual's self-care ability and dependency in daily living activities.Older individuals with knee osteoarthritis may be at risk of falling.This study was planned to examine the relationship between activity-specific balance confidence and fear of falling, autonomy and social participation in individuals with knee osteoarthritis over 65 years of age.
