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.
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, degenerative movement disorder characterized by motor and non-motor findings, and the incidence increases with age.There are different methods for the evaluation of articular cartilage in PD. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of cartilage thickness evaluated by US on disease stage, motor functions, balance and fall risks in individuals with Parkinson's Disease.
Introduction: This study aimed to compare postoperative pain rates following sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and KTP laser-assisted pulpotomy treatments in permanent teeth with deep caries, and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Methods: Ninety patients complaining of permanent teeth pain due to symptomatic irreversible pulpitis were randomly divided into 3 equal groups. Preoperative pain levels were recorded. After the initial bleeding control was achieved with saline, complete hemostasis was achieved by applying saline (control group), 2.5% NaOCl, or KTP laser according to randomly determined patient groups. Patients were asked to mark their pain level on the visual pain scale at the 6th, 24th, 48th, and 72nd hours, and 7th and 30th days depending on the severity of the pain. The permanent restoration was completed after 7 days. Results: According to the present study, the statistical difference between the groups in terms of preoperative pain and percussion pain levels was insignificant. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic data. The postoperative pain level of the KTP laser group was significantly lower at the 6th hour compared to the saline group. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of postoperative pain level at other time intervals. The greatest pain scores occurred in all groups at 6th hour. Conclusions: KTP laser can be preferred primarily in reducing postoperative pain in pulpotomy treatments. KTP laser or NaOCl assisted pulpotomy can be an effective treatment for pain reduction in permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
The research was planned as a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of crossword, which are an active learning tool, on the success of learning information about pain control in nursing education. Research data is planned to be collected in Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Faculty of Health Sciences. The universe of the research will be the students who take the 3-credit pain control course in the aforementioned faculty in the fall semester. The sample of the research will consist of 72 students who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the research verbally and in writing. The data of the research will be collected by using the Personal information form prepared in line with the literature, and Success Tests (3 tests) prepared separately for each stage. SPSS program will be used in the analysis of the data.
The authors aimed to evaluate the relation between Modified Fraility Index (MFI) and postoperative complications (myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, pulmonary embolism, septic shock, postoperative dialysis requirement, cerebrovascular event, reintubation, prolonged mechanical ventilation, surgical wound complications), duration of hospitalization, requirement for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and rehospitalization and 30th day mortality in patients undergoing arthroplasy.
The aim of this study is the evaluation of preoperativevideolaryngoscopy, as a possible predictor of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation during elective general anesthesia in an obese population. Videolaryngoscopy is a minimally invasive examination performed during difficult intubation evaluation but not used routinely . On the other hand, current strategies used to predict the ease of intubation are still not sufficiently sensitive and specific. An unexpected difficult or failed intubation at the induction of general anesthesia is a seriuos, and potentially fatal, emergency in anesthesia. In literature, a correlation between anatomical and functional parameters highlighted by videolaryngoscopy and difficulty of laryngoscopy and intubation has never been demonstrated nor indagated. There is only some case reports related evaluation of diffucult airway by videolaryngoscopy . If proven, this might give the Anesthestiologist further information about the expected difficulty of laryngoscopy and intubation, guiding a different anesthesiological strategy.
Pain is a common condition experienced by patients in long-term health care, rehabilitation and acute situations, due to various surgical interventions and invasive procedures, and postoperative pain is an important symptom experienced by patients during the surgical recovery process. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as an unpleasant emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage (Lok, Ibrahim and Sidani 2020; Çavdar and Akyüz 2017; Martin-Saavedra, Vergara-Mendez, Talero-Gutiérrez 2018). Orthopedic surgical interventions are considered to be one of the most painful surgical procedures, and pain control requires a multifaceted approach that includes non-pharmacological techniques (Allred et al. 2010). Music therapy, which is one of the non-traditional treatment methods, is used to reduce pain (Nilson 2008). Music can easily be included in nursing care because it is applied without the physician's request and causes very little legal and ethical concerns (Simcock et al. 2008). However, due to the lack of awareness about the effectiveness of music therapy, it is not often used as an intervention. Inadequate pain control causes a decrease in patient satisfaction and deterioration of the healing process (Lukas 2004). Therefore, this study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of music therapy on the pain level of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.
There is no scientific study in the literature regarding the use of different extracorporeal shock wave therapies (ESWT) in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. In this study, we aim to investigate both the effectiveness of ESWT and which type of ESWT can be more effective in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy.
There is no study in the literature comparing both paraffin bath therapy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) in the treatment of patients with De Quervain Tenosynovitis. The aim of this study is performing this comparison.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR) surgery accepts best choices which condicions are totaly ruptured ACL or partial ruputures when patients with high activity level. Rehabilitation after ACL is an indispensable element of treatment because ACL injury causes severe instability and early degenerative changes in the knee. Although there is no standard rehabilitation program after ACLR but the concept of "Functional Rehabilitation" is prefers nowadays which structred according to therapeutic goals, it is planned in three stages as early, mid-term and late-term. After the late-term goals are achieved safely and the individuals reach to needed criterias, the stage of returning to sports or activity is planned. Patients with an active life expectancy, the goal at the end of rehabilitation after ACLR is to return to activity or sports and to reach pre-injury performance. Most individuals fail to return to sports or activity after ACL due to long-term strength deficits, neuromuscular and biomechanical changes, knee instability, and early developing knee osteoarthritis. Addition to that; changes that affect both the knee joint and the whole body biomechanics occur even in individuals who successfully return to activity and sports after ACL. Although there are problems that affect the whole body by exceeding a single segment in rehabilitation after ACLR; there is no study using the myofascial chain exercises approach in the treatment of these problems. Hip, core or trunk stabilization exercises and neuromuscular trainings that include more than one body segment added to the ACLR program provides more positive effects on rehabilitation outcomes than regional applications. In this project, researches aim to investigate that the effectiveness of structured myofascial chain exercises training, which will be applied in the late period of rehabilitation after ACLR, on functionality, performance and participation.In project scope; After completing the early and mid-term rehabilitation after surgery, the volunteers who met the criteria for transition to late rehabilitation were divided into two groups; lower extremity exercise training will be given to the first group and myofascial chain exercise training will be given to the second group. The control group will consist of healthy volunteers. In addition to the control group; The operated and intact extremities of the volunteers in the experimental groups will be compared. The training session, in which preterm and postterm evaluations and the exercises are taught, will be carried out with the face-to-face method, and the ongoing exercise sessions will be carried out with the telerehabilitation method. Reasearch outcome measures will be evaluated with strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, activity performance against time measurements and self-assessment questionnaires. End of this project; important data will be obtained in the fight against the risks created by the deficits that continue after the ACLR. The deficits seen after ACL fails to individuals from returning to their pre-injury functional level; the desired success cannot be achieved in returning to work, returning to sports, and returning to activity. Due to this situation, which poses a global problem, even if there is a return to work or sports after injury, branch and job changes may be required and the desired level of performance cannot be achieved. In individuals who cannot return to activity, inactive life increases the risk of non-communicable chronic diseases as well as the increased risk of osteoarthritis. In case of success in the project, important information will be obtained in order to prevent both the quality of life and the cost of secondary health and social life problems associated with ACL injuries. The content of the program will be expanded to include other sports injuries by applying to follow-up projects for the registration of the method to be applied for the first time.
