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.
Rotatorcuff lesions constitute 10% of the causes of shoulder pain. Supraspinatus tear is one of the common rotatorcuff lesions. It affects the quality of life negatively and causes loss of range of motion and muscle strength. It can be seen due to traumatic or degenerative causes. Its incidence increases with advanced age. While the incidence was reported as 4% in the population aged 40-60 years, this rate was reported to be 17-50% in the group over the age of 60 and 80% in the group over the age of 80. Radiologically, classification is made as partial or full-thickness tears. Rotatorcuff tears can be treated conservatively or surgically. Although the risk of post-surgical rupture is reduced with new methods, the lack of desired tendon healing has led to the search for alternative applications such as biological augmentation and high-intensity laser. The aim of this study is to reveal the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy in patients with partial supraspinatus tear.
The study examines the saliva and dental plaque microbiome of women aged 35-65 in two groups: postmenopausal (case) and premenopausal (control). For this purpose, Illumina Platform to sequence 16S rRNA gene regions will be used. The data will be analyzed using the QIIME2 bioinformatics tool. Serum estradiol levels will be determined by the ELISA method. The investigators will examine the relationship between microbiome data (alpha diversity, beta diversity, and relative abundance) and menopausal status, estradiol levels, and periodontal health status using linear statistical models. Clinical samples of the study will be collected at Ege University, and the laboratory studies and sequence analysis will be conducted at the Forsyth Institute in Boston. To obtain longitudinal data besides the cross-sectional data, the investigators will contact the participants of a previous study from 2019, whose saliva, dental plaque, and serum samples are currently being stored at -80 °C, and ask them to participate for a second sampling.
The use of non-pharmacological methods in labor pain is very important in order to improve the birth process, increase comfort and provide relaxation. The role of midwives, acting as patient advocate is to maintain comfort throughout the birth process. In order to do this, she should know very well the non-pharmacological methods to be applied to the pregnant woman and choose the most appropriate one. Applying a warm shower, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods; the uterus Increases perfusion, makes labor painless felt, increases the release of oxytocin, and decreases the release of stress hormones. In addition, while reducing the intervention rates, it improves birth and newborn outcomes and affects positively. Purpose of the research; labor pain of warm shower application, labor to evaluate the effect on satisfaction and birth outcomes.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between intrinsic capacity and healthy eating in elderly individuals.
Pregnancy causes the development of biomechanical adaptations in the musculoskeletal system, especially in the lumbopelvic region. In this context, the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) is the most important structure in this region and is an exoskeleton for the muscles of the lumbar region. However, it has not been objectively clarified how the TLF adapts to the changes in the lumbopelvic region during pregnancy. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the trimester-specific biomechanical (stiffness, decrement and tone) and viscoelastic (creep and relaxation time) properties of the TLF, which adapts to the lumbopelvic region changes in pregnant women.
The aim of this study is to provide Turkish validation and determine the validity of the "Physiotherapist Self-Efficacy Questionnaire".
According to the World Health Organization data, the third most common cause of death in the world, is COPD , a disease that progresses with exacerbations (1). Exacerbations are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in COPD (2). It is thought that most exacerbations occur (3,4) because highly effective inhaler treatments are unavailable to prevent and treat respiratory symptoms (5,6). However, using inhaler devices correctly can be difficult (jama7,8). Guidelines recommend evaluating and teaching inhaler use technique (5,6). Unfortunately, these are often not implemented, especially in a hospital setting (9,10). Worldwide, 25 billion dollars are spent annually on inhaler drugs, 5-7 billion dollars of which is estimated to be wasted because of incorrect technique. Beyond this financial cost, incorrect inhaler technique is associated with worse symptom control, lower quality of life and increased acute care costs, (11,12,13). Although these shortcomings are known, appropriate educational interventions are unfortunately not been available. Additionally , patient's access to health services (especially face-to-face communication with recommended health providers) has been largely prevented due to the restrictions/requirements implemented against the pandemic in 2020,such as social isolation, staying away from public environments, and ensuring good personal and social hygiene. Considering that inhaler training is done face-to-face by doctors or allied health personnel today, many patients did not receive inhaler drug use training. One of the most realistic solutions that we encountered with this pandemic is telemedicine. The use of internet-mediated training, which is a part of telemedicine, has come to the foreground. In a recently published study on chronic airway diseases (asthma and COPD), it was revealed that video-mediated inhaler training is as successful as classical face-to-face training (14).Our aim is to investigate whether video-mediated virtual inhaler training is successful in patients with COPD.
The aim of this study; to determine the effectiveness of ESWT, ultrasound and phonophoresis treatments on pain, grip strength, functionality and quality of life in patients with lateral epicondylitis and to determine the superiority of the treatments to each other.
The aim of this study; To evaluate the effect of hot application on postlaparoscopic shoulder pain and analgesic use in patients undergoing upper laparoscopic surgery in general surgery.
Introduction: This study has been conducted to determine the effect of music on pain and anxiety levels in patients receiving chemotherapy during COVID-19. Methods: The research has been carried out in a real trial model with adult patients receiving chemotherapy. The sample of the study is consisted of 92 patients (45 in the experimental group and 47 for the control group). The data have been collected by the researcher with Google Forms (using State and Transient Anxiety Inventory and Visual Analog Skala) between March 2020 and July 2020, through the links sent to the phones of participants on the day they received chemotherapy. Results: The mean scores obtained from the post-test STAI (53.11±4.77) and VAS (3.44±2.53) scales in the experimental group have been determined to statistically significantly decrease when compared to the pre-test measurement data (STAI:54.26±4.26; VAS:4.22±2.41) (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference has been determined between pre-test and post-test mean scores of the patients in the control group. Conclusion: It has been observed that music applications reduce the pain and anxiety levels of patients receiving chemotherapy during the COVID-19 process. It can be recommended to use music applications in the management of pain and anxiety symptoms.
