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.
Central venous catheterization is a common procedure in hospitals. Internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation is the most preferred vein for this purpose. During the procedure, infiltration of local anesthetic (LA) agents into the skin and subcutaneous tissues is a commonly used method to provide patient comfort and reduce pain. There is an increasing need to improve the quality of health care delivery. An important component of health service quality is patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to compare the superficial cervical plexus block and the intermediate cervical plexus block applied under the guidance of ultrasound in terms of patient satisfaction and procedural comfort during central catheterization of the internal jugular vein.
After breast cancer, diopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) is among the breast diseases that bother patients and clinicians the most. Countries with a coast to the Mediterranean, especially our country, are the most common geography of this disease. For this reason, a significant part of the important scientific publications about IGM in the last 3-4 decades are from the countries of this geography and mainly from our country. The paradigm of whether IGM should be treated medically or surgically is still a matter of debate. Today, effective treatment results can be achieved with medical treatments, and local drug applications are finding an increasing application area in order to reduce the systemic drug level due to the side effects often seen in this process. As in the centers dealing with breast diseases intensively in our country, patients are treated in our center both by systemic and local means. Within the body of the Turkish Breast Diseases Federation, after the plans made with the employees of the leading breast centers of the International Breast Health Working Group International planned to start a recording study to observe the activity between, local treatment in the lesion without surgical treatment with systemic treatment in IGM treatment and local treatment together with surgical treatment.
A single dose of the study drug will be administered to healthy female subjects in a single period to obtain pharmacokinetic parameters for each active ingredient.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of fetal movement counting on prenatal maternal attachment and distress in pregnancy. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. The population of the study consisted of of 60 primigravida pregnant women (30 experimental and 30 control groups) being in 28 to 32 weeks gestation. The Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) and the Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale (TPDS) used for data collection. After the pre-tests (28 to 32 weeks gestation), the experimental group were trained about fetal movement counting. The experimental group performed fetal movement counting for at least four to six weeks. The post-tests were filled in 32 to 38 weeks gestation. The control group received only pre-tests and post-test in the same weeks gestation with the experimental group.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of flipped learning approach on nursing students' learning of patient safety.
Distal Radius End Fracture (DRC) is one of the most common fractures among all extremity fractures and wrist fractures . Pain, edema and functional loss are common findings in patients, and the physiotherapy program should be well planned from an early time. However, although there are different physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications in the treatment of DRC, there is not enough information about the effectiveness of the applications when the evidence-based studies are examined. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of motor imagery added to conventional treatment versus conventional treatment with telerehabilitation in patients with distal radius end fracture. Motor imagery is defined as the mental presentation of voluntary movement without body movement. It is an application that does not require cost and it is a training that can be easily applied in rehabilitation programs. Telerehabilitation is important in the management of patients in the acute phase of the disease, as well as in the remote management of individuals with chronic health problems. Cases who applied to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic and were referred to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department will be included in the study. Few studies have examined the effects of motor imagery on pain, kinesiophobia, and functionality in musculoskeletal injuries. Studies on the effects of motor imagery on different patient groups are needed. Therefore, in our study, the effect of motor imagery training applied with the telerehabilitation method on pain, kinesiophobia and functionality in patients with distal radius end fracture will be examined. Sociodemographic data form of all subjects who volunteered to participate in the study; Age, gender, height, weight, pain, dominant extremity, and the type of fracture will be questioned. In addition, pain intensity is measured with a visual analog scale, normal joint movement measurement (wrist flexion, extension, ulnar and radial deviation, and forearm supination and pronation) with goniometer, hand grip strength with "Hydraulic hand dynamometer" , finger grip strength "Hydraulic Finger Dynamometer", kinesiophobia Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, functionality "Arm, Shoulder and Hand Injury Questionnaire in Turkish (Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand-Turkish - DASH-T and The Patient-Based Wrist Assessment Questionnaire (HBEBD), with the fine dexterity Moberg Pick Up test, the motor imagery ability with the Recognize™ phone app and the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire, quality of life will be evaluated with SF-12. After the initial evaluation, the treatment program was started. Advances in the treatment method specific to the groups they belong to are explained in detail below. Treatment: After the distal radius end fracture, after 6 weeks of plaster application, after the first evaluation to be made in the clinic after the plaster was removed, in the next session, after patient education, conventional treatment was applied to the cases in Group 1, 3 days a week as stated below. Group 2: Conservative Treatment + Motor Imagery Program Patients in this group will have motor imagery in addition to conservative treatment. The patients in this group will first be given a motor imagery introductory session. According to the results of the observation and evaluation made by the physiotherapist before the treatment, the function of the patients
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of using the birth ball and squatting position during labor on labor pain, duration of labor and satisfaction. The research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 159 pregnant women, 53 in the birthing ball application group, 53 in the squatting group, and 53 in the control group, who met the criteria for inclusion in the study.
The most common adverse event in endoscopic procedures is hypoxia. Different airway devices have been investigated in the literature to prevent hypoxia. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and procedural performance of two different airway (GLT and WNJ) devices in ERCP procedures.
Aim and hypothesis: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of mobile information given to women before and after breast cancer surgery on anxiety, distress, and quality of life. E-mobile information given to women before and after breast cancer surgery reduces the level of anxiety (I) and the level of distress (II), and positively affects their quality of life (III). Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted between April and August 2021 in the surgical oncology clinic-outpatient clinics of a university hospital. Patients in the intervention group (n=42) used the mobile information application for one month with routine care. Patients in the control group (n=40) received their routine care. Data were collected with data collection forms one week before and three weeks after surgery.
Sensory and balance losses occur in hemiplegic patients. In some patients, sensory and balance rehabilitations may vary depending on the treatment they receive, depending on the treatment. It is a fact that the affected anatomic neuronal regions can cause different damages for each person together with interneuronal relations. This study aims to sense sensation with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy to be applied to the plantar region.
