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.
This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of Reiki therapy applied to women in the postpartum period on the risk of fatigue and postpartum depression.
In this prospective study, women aged between 40 and 75 years who had not undergone any vaginal surgery and had not undergone any abdominal prolapse surgery were included. Thirty-one women diagnosed with rectocele on examination were included in the study group. Thirty-one patients who underwent vaginal intervention and hysterectomy for reasons other than rectocele (colposcopy, conization, etc.) without anterior or posterior wall prolapse were included in the control group.
Studies on gastrocnemius tightness in healthy children are limited, but there is evidence that ankle dorsiflexion decreases with increasing age in children. It is not known whether gastrocnemius tightness is a normal finding in children, but recurrent leg pain is common in children. It is also known that flexible flatfoot is a normal observation in developing children and that the medial longitudinal arch develops during the first decade of life. Both foot morphology and ankle dorsiflexion change in developing children; however, it is not known whether there is a relationship between them or not. In the literature, there is no study evaluating foot posture, muscle strength, functional performance, and postural control in children with isolated gastrocnemius muscle tightness. It was planned to evaluate postural control using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System), lower extremity muscle strength using a hand-held dynamometer, foot posture using the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6), and functional performance using single-foot-double-foot jump tests in healthy children with isolated gastrocnemius muscle tightness.
Conditions such as hemiparesis, sensory and motor impairment, perceptual impairment, cognitive impairment, aphasia, and dysphagia may be observed after stroke. Motor impairment after stroke may occur due to damage to any part of the brain related to motor control. There is much clinical evidence that damage to different parts of the sensorimotor cortex in humans affects other aspects of motor function. Loss of strength, spasticity, limb apraxia, loss of voluntary movements, Babinski sign, and motor neglect are typical motor deficits following a cortical lesion (upper motor neuron lesion). Post-stroke spasticity can be seen in 19% to 92% of stroke survivors. Post-stroke hemiparesis is a significant cause of morbidity and disability, along with abnormal muscle tone. It has also been recognized that post-stroke hemiparesis may occur without spasticity. Spasticity seen after stroke causes loss of movement control, painful spasms, abnormal posture, increased muscle tone, and a general decrease in muscle function, and may affect limb blood flow. Studies in the literature show that spasticity can affect limb blood flow. This study aims to investigate the relationship between muscle oxygenation and spasticity in post-stroke hemiparetic patients based on the idea that oxygenation may be insufficient as a result of restriction of blood flow on the affected side due to spasticity in stroke patients.
This research was planned to determine the effect of breastfeeding counseling based on motivational interviewing method and standard breastfeeding counseling on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding results in women who had a cesarean section.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how sacral erector spinae block changed the postoperative analgesia requirements in pediatric patients undergoing rectal biopsies under general anesthesia.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual home care for stroke patients and their caregivers. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the usability of the application by developing a mobile application for use in virtual home visits. The study will be carried out using the mixed research model, in which quantitative and qualitative methods are used together. The population of the research will consist of patients and caregivers with the diagnosis of hemorrhage, infarction, cerebrovascular accident and cerebral infarction, who applied to the Antalya Provincial Health Directorate Antalya Training and Research Hospital Home Health Unit, where the study is planned to be conducted. The sample of the study will consist of stroke patients and caregivers who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. The first phase of the study was designed as a parallel group, single center and single blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual home visits in terms of time, cost and caregiver competence. The experimental group was the patient/patient relative group who made a virtual home visit, the control group will consist of 48 patients/patient relatives who have been visited face-to-face. In the second phase of the study, semi-structured interview method will be used to determine the views of patients/patient relatives about virtual home visits. In order to evaluate the usability of the developed application, a usability survey will be applied to the group that has visited the virtual home. With the results of this study, telemedicine applications in home care services will help to increase accessibility to home care services and reduce health care costs.considered to contribute. At the same time, it is expected that the results of the study will contribute to the scientific literature in the field of design and application of telemedicine services, which are developing and spreading
Within the scope of the study, it was planned that risky babies would be treated with the SAFE early intervention approach for 10 weeks after they were discharged from the intensive care unit. Neurodevelopmental Treatment was applied to the control group. Sensory, motor and language development of the babies were evaluated before and after the intervention.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of finger puppets, distraction cards and kaleidoscope for reducing anxiety in children undergoing day surgery. Methods: The study was conducted using the "pre-post test unmatched group model", one of the quasi-experimental methods. The study was conducted between April 2023 and January 2024 with children aged 6-12 years who were admitted to the pediatric clinic of a hospital for day surgery. A total of 85 children (including 20 children in the control group, 22 children in the finger puppet intervention group, 21 children in the distraction cards intervention group, and 22 children in the kaleidoscope intervention group) who were hospitalized in the pediatric clinic between April 2023 and January 2024 and who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis and regression analysis were used in the evaluation of the data.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of 4-7-8 breathing exercise on tinnitus handicap, psychological factors and sleep quality. There will be a parallel-group randomized controlled trial study and consists of two groups. Both groups will receive 1 hour of informative session on tinnitus and the experimental group will also perform 4-7-8 breathing exercises for 6 weeks. Visual analog scale, tinnitus handicap inventory, insomnia severity index, trait anxiety inventory, and perceived stress scale will be applied before and after the application.
