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 aim of this study is to determine the effect of white noise application on the pain and stress level of newborns receiving oxygen support via nasal CPAP in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The research is a randomized controlled trial. The population of the study will be infants aged 0-28 days who were hospitalized for treatment in Şanlıurfa Training and Research Hospital between July and December 2022. The research sample; Babies of families who are hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on the specified dates and meet the research criteria and volunteer to participate in the research will be formed. "Survey Form", "Follow-up Form" and "ALPS Neo Neonatal Pain and Stress Assessment Scale", White Noise, MP 3 Player, and Sound Decibel Measuring Device will be used to collect data.
In Parkinson's Disease (PD) rehabilitation, the treadmill is used both in aerobic training and in gait training, as it provides more walking distance and can include body weight supported systems. It has been reported that the C-Mill VR+ device, which is a treadmill system with augmented and virtual reality (VR) technology, improves gait adaptation and reduces the risk of falling in individuals with early to mid-stage PD. Several publications augmented reality (AR) and VR applications in PD was focused on balance activities that do not include ambulation. In other studies in the literature, it was stated that further research are needed to better understand the effects of VR gait training on gait and balance in PD. It was also stated in these studies that the effects of VR gait training should be examined with more objective measurement methods. As a result, it is seen that there is a need for studies examining the effects of augmented and virtual reality trainings in PD with objective measurement methods. Therefore, our study aimed to examine the effects of AR and VR gait training on gait and balance in individuals with early to mid-stage PD.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is an important outcome for the patient; patients generally rate PONV as worse than postoperative pain. The term PONV is typically used to describe nausea and/or vomiting or retching in the post-anesthetic care unit or within 24 hours postoperatively. Postoperative nausea and vomiting usually resolves or is treated without sequelae, but may require unexpected hospitalization and delay recovery room discharge. In the prophylaxis of PONV, ondansetron is one of the first widely used 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. Palonosetron, on the other hand, is a second generation 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with a half-life of 40 hours and higher receptor binding affinity. In addition, dexamethasone is another class of drugs that has emerged as a potentially useful prophylaxis for patients who are a corticosteroid and are at high risk of PONV with minimal side effects. However, a multimodal approach rather than antiemetic prophylaxis with a single pharmacological agent is described as a good way to reduce PONV, especially in high-risk cases. Conducted a previous systematic review and meta-analysis of the addition of dexamethasone to various 5-HT3 antagonists; however, it included only one study of palonosetron + dexamethasone. Since then, several meta-analyses have been performed on the efficacy of the combination of palonosetron and dexamethasone. This study was designed to find out the incidence of PONV by comparing the efficacy of the combination of palonosetron-dexamethasone, ondansetron-dexamethasone and dexamethasone alone for the prevention of PONV in patients undergoing pediatric laparoscopic surgery.
The aim of this study is to investigate the Turkish validity and reliability of the Canadian Haemophilia Outcomes-Kids' Life Assessment Tool version2.0. Patients aged 4-18 years with hemophilia a or b will be included in the study. The study was planned as a multicenter and it is aimed to reach 100 patients. The process included four steps: a linguistic adaptation, cognitive debriefing interviews with children and their parents, a validity assessment with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) as a comparator, and a test retest reliability assessment.
The aim of this study is to question the Turkish validity and reliability of the "The Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children Short Form (FOPQC-SF)" scale. Children/adolescents between the ages of 7-18 and diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis followed by the Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic will be included in the study. The sample size of this study was determined as at least 50. To assess the validity of the FOPQC-SF scale, participants will be administered the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 Arthritis Module, the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), and the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score.
Hirudotherapy (HT); It is a traditional treatment method applied using medicinal leeches such as Hirudo Medicinalis and Hirudo Verbana. Purpose of the study titled "Investigation of oxidant-antioxidant status in patients treated with hirudotherapy": To investigate the effect of HT on oxidative stress in healthy individuals.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is applied in the childhood age group for many reasons such as hematological malignancies, immune deficiencies, hemoglobinopathies, bone marrow failures and congenital metabolic diseases. The transplantation process, which requires a long hospitalization process, is an experience that causes anxiety for the child and the caregiver.
The purpose of oral care is to reduce the effect of oral pathological microbial flora and to prevent infection, pain, and bleeding associated with cancer treatment. New agents are introduced each day to be used in the prevention and treatment of mucositis in cancer treatment. One of those agents is the Ankaferd Hemostat. Ankaferd Hemostat has pleiotropic effects and anti-infective characteristics in tissue healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ankaferd Hemostat in the prevention of oral mucositis due to chemotherapy in adult patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to be conducted with patients who are recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and will receive the first course of chemotherapyd. The data were collected using the Performance Score and the Oral Mucositis Evaluation Scale.
The study is investigating the use of Saxenda (liragltuide 3.0 milligrams (mg) once daily) for weight management. The primary objective is to investigate the change in body weight after initiation and use of Saxenda ® according to local clinical practice for weight management, on adult participant's in a real world setting in Turkey. The study will last for about 5 months.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of treatment with brepocitinib (TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor) in adults with dermatomyositis (DM). The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of two dose levels of brepocitinib in comparison to placebo, as measured by differences in the Total Improvement Score (TIS). After 52 weeks of double-blind treatment, participants have the option to continue therapy in a 52 week open-label extension phase where all participants will receive brepocitinib.
