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.
Neck pain is a common disease in society. In studies, the annual and lifetime prevalence was found to be 37.2% and 48.5%, respectively (1). Neck pain may be axial or radicular. Causes of axial neck pain include cervical strain, discogenic pain, cervical facet pain, spondylosis, whiplash, and myofascial pain. (2) Cervical facet degeneration is a common cause of axial neck pain (3). Pain originating from the cervical facet joint is localized to the midline of the neck and increases with neck extension. (2) Diagnosis is made by physical examination and radiological imaging. The distribution patterns of pain originating from the cervical facet joint vary depending on the level of the joint involved
This retrospective controlled study aims to evaluate risk factors that affect open conversion in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patient characteristics, medical history, biochemical and radiological studies of the patient will searched from the hospital database and factors affecting open conversion will be analysed.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the effect of two appliances (Hybrid-Hyrax expander/ Bonded rapid maxillary expander (RME)) supported by different anchorage units and two different expansion procedures (routine rapid maxillary expansion protocol (routine)/ alternative rapid expansion and constriction protocol (alt-RAMEC)) on maxillary protraction during face mask (FM) treatment.
Children with Down Syndrome frequently encounter difficulties with sensory functions and feeding, such as oral sensory processing issues and developmental disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of an Occupational Therapy Home Program on the sensory functions and feeding issues of children with Down Syndrome.
This study was planned to investigate the effect of core stabilization exercise program on trunk muscle strength, spinal stability and upper extremity performance in elite wrestling athletes.
Purpose: The objective of this investigation was to assess the impact of eye drops containing high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMW-HA) and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (LMW-HA) on corneal nerve regeneration, dendritic cell (DC) density, corneal sensitivity (CS), and ocular surface parameters in patients with keratoconus following corneal crosslinking (CXL). Methods: Sixty-three eyes of 55 keratoconus patients were randomized to instill eye drops containing HMW-HA (n: 20) for 12 months, LMW-HA (n:23) for 12 months and polyvinyl alcohol (n: 20) until the epithelial defect closure in the control group after CXL. Subbasal nerve plexsus (SNP) was imaged with corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) and ACCMetrics program was used to quantify corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD), corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL), corneal nerve fiber branching density (CNBD) and corneal nerve fiber total branching density (CTBD). DC density was calculated with Image J software. CS was measured using the Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometer. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, non-invasive break-up time (NI-TBUT) were evaluated. All measurements were performed before CXL and postoperatively after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
Migraine is a chronic disorder that causes disability. Episodic migraine can be managed by prophylactic medical treatment or interventional pain procedures. Interventional methods used in migraine treatment are greater occipital nerve blockade, lesser occipital nerve blockade, supraorbital nerve blockade, infraorbital nerve blockade, sphenopalatine ganglion blockade, botulinum toxin injection and various radiofrequency applications. The effectiveness of greater occipital nerve blockade and transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion blockade in the treatment of migraine has been proven in various studies.We aimed to evaluate the effects of repetitive greater occipital nerve blockade and transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion blockade in patients with episodic migraine.
The aim of action research this study is to examine the effect of psychoeducation based on Neuman's Systems Model on psychological distress and coping with the stress of spouses of patients in the intensive care unit. The questions of this research are listed below. What can be done to reduce the psychological distress of spouses of patients in the intensive care unit? What can be done to increase the active coping with the stress of spouses of patients in the intensive care unit? How to structure a stress management psychoeducational program based on Neuman's Systems Theory for spouses of patients in the intensive care unit? Does a stress management psychoeducation program based on Neuman's Systems Theory reduce the psychological distress of spouses of patients in the intensive care unit? Does a stress management psychoeducational program based on Neuman's Systems Theory increase active coping with the stress of spouses of patients in intensive care?
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a vein imaging device and virtual reality distraction on the success of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIC) placement, intervention duration, emotional appearance, pain, fear, and anxiety related to PIC intervention in children aged 4-10 years in a pediatric emergency unit.
Comparison of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) in patients with hypertension patient in terms of aerobic capacity, blood pressure level, anxiety and depression scores, quality of life, kinesiophobia levels and sleep quality measurement.
