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.
World Health Organization (WHO) palliative care is defined as "an approach that aims to reduce or prevent suffering by early identification, evaluation and treatment of the physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems of patients and families accompanying life-threatening diseases, and thus to increase their quality of life." Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach that provides appropriate health care for oncology patients, who have a wide variety of medical, functional, social and emotional needs. Pharmacological approaches are generally used in symptom management of palliative care patients. In addition to pharmacological approaches, non-pharmacological approaches are also preferred. Massage is a preferred intervention among professional nursing practices because it is reliable, has no side effects, has a direct effect on patients, and is easy to apply. Massage is the stimulation of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, internal organs, metabolism, circulation and lymph systems for therapeutic purposes through mechanical and neural means. The presence of sufficient mechanoreceptors in the hands, which stimulate painless nerve endings, shows that the hands should be chosen as the appropriate area for massage. Among the effects of hand massage: ensuring the regeneration of cells, facilitating the elimination of accumulated toxins, providing relaxation, helping to reduce pain by facilitating the release of endorphins, helping to increase circulation, regulating respiratory functions, providing stress and anxiety control, creating a state of well-being, strengthening the immune system, increasing general comfort, improving sleep quality. is located. Studies in the literature have found that hand massage reduces anxiety levels, stress and agitation levels, pain levels, and increases comfort and sleep levels. As seen in the literature, the effectiveness of hand massage applied to different sample groups on anxiety, stress, agitation, pain, comfort and sleep parameters was evaluated. There are very few studies evaluating the effectiveness of hand massage applied to oncology patients. In addition, no study has been found that evaluated the effects of hand massage on pain, comfort and sleep in palliative oncology patients, who constitute the majority of palliative care patients.
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided betamethasone and 5% dextrose injection, which is routinely applied in clinical practice, in patients with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
It is known that posture is affected by various factors such as somatosensation, visual perception and cognition. In addition, it is also thought to affect conditions such as stress and anxiety through receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between postural changes such as thoracic kyphosis, musculoskeletal problems, trunk position sense and anxiety in young individuals who were asymptomatic in terms of musculoskeletal problems.
Heart and blood vessel problems together referred to as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) include congenital heart disease, cerebrovascular illness, and coronary heart disease. Following heart surgery, patients who are active in the postoperative phase stay in the hospital for shorter periods of time and experience fewer complications. After cardiac surgery, older adults who exercise during the recovery period experience fewer difficulties and hospitalizations. A total of 100 elderly patients-69 men and 31 women-who had undergone cardiac surgery and were up to 65 years old-voluntarily took part in the study. There were fifty patients in each of the two groups that the participants were divided into: the early mobilization group (Group A) and the control group (Group B). Older patients undergoing cardiac surgery also experienced improved balance as a result of early mobilization and functional exercises.
Protocol of Self Regulation in Early Learners: The Role of Recreational Activity Program (RAP) RAP, which included fun games and lasted 24 sessions, was applied to the students in the study group. Twenty-four sessions include games that help gain rhythm, balance, and patience. The program is planned according to the game theory model, which aims to have fun for children. The program, which aims to develop children's self-regulation skills based on the essential reflections of the model, will include fun games with simple rules. Before the program was implemented, the researchers informed the experimental group about the research and the program, and verbal consent was obtained from the participants.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of QR code supported infant care training given to mothers of preterm newborns on maternal self-efficacy and maternal anxiety level .
The primary purpose of this project is to observe the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy-based weight-loss mobile application (Bi' Kilo) in 4 essential areas (Anthropometric, Biochemical, Psychometric, Cognitive) in overweight and obese individuals and to test whether these effects will persist after ten weeks. In this context, the original value of the proposed study is that a mobile application will be produced that is suitable for the culture and whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven. In our current project proposal, the measurements of the participants will be evaluated holistically together with both tests and inventories, as well as physical measurements and biochemical data. In this study, the usability of the mobile application to be developed will also be evaluated and reported. The study group of the research will consist of overweight and obese individuals. The first stage will be a pilot study to identify the shortcomings of the Bi'Kilo mobile application. After eliminating the deficiencies of the Bi' Kilo mobile application, a working group will be formed in the second phase of the research. At this stage, the sample will be divided into two different groups within the scope of the study and a study group and a control group will be formed. The study consists of three phases as preparation, implementation, and follow-up. Measurements of the participants will be made at the beginning (Anthropometric, Biochemical, Psychometric, Cognitive), at the end of the six-week implementation phase (Anthropometric), and at the end of the four-week follow-up phase (Anthropometric, Biochemical, Psychometric, Cognitive).
Purpose: It will be performed to minimize the problems that the mother and the newborn may experience in the postpartum period by eliminating the negative symptoms related to postpartum pain and delayed intestinal motility. Design: It will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study. Method: It will consist of women who had cesarean section surgery at Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between April and July 2024. The sample of the research; The sample will consist of women who meet the selection criteria and voluntarily agree to participate in the research. Considering the possible 10% data loss in randomized controlled studies, a total of 50 women, 25 in each group, were planned to be sampled. Data will be collected using a personal information form and visual pain scale (VAS). . Immediately before coffee application (6-12-18 hours after surgery), women's pain intensity and bowel motility will be evaluated. Women will then be asked to consume 100 ml of unsweetened caffeinated coffee at 6, 12 and 18 hours after surgery. 6,12,18. Half an hour after coffee consumption, women will be evaluated for pain using VAS. In the control group, no procedure will be applied and pain assessment will be made with VAS at the same hours. Conclusion: It is aimed to reduce the pain and increase intestinal motility of patients who consume coffee after cesarean section. Key Words: Caesarean Section, Coffee, Pain, Motility
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of yoga on the stress of mothers with babies with sleep and feeding problems, the mother-infant relationship, and the sleep and nutrition of the mother and the baby. 55 mothers with babies with sleep and feeding problems were included in the study. Mothers were randomly divided into two groups: yoga (n=29) and control group (n=26). Yoga training was applied to 29 mothers in the study group via video conferencing, 2 days a week, 1 hour a day for 8 weeks, while the mothers in the control group were given second evaluations 8 weeks after the first evaluation, without any intervention. Mothers were evaluated with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) for stress levels, with Parent-Child Containing Function Scale for the mother-infant relationship, with the Infancy and Early Childhood Feeding Process Mother'sAttitudes Scale for their attitudes towards the feeding process of their babies, and with Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN) for their own nutrition attitudes, with Pittsburg Sleep Quality (PSQI) for sleep quality and babies with Infancy Period Adaptive Eating Behavior Scale for feeding problems, with Brief Infant/Child Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) for sleep problems.
Currently, F-18 FDG PET/CT is routinely used for breast cancer staging and treatment response assessment. Most breast cancers express Estrogen Receptor (ER) and Progesterone Receptor (PR) and this subtype shows lower activity on FDG imaging. 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT is an effective imaging option for somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive neuroendocrine tumors. There are case reports showing 68Ga DOTATATE uptake in non-Hodgkin lymphoma, meningioma, breast cancer, thyroid adenoma and papillary carcinoma. There are also histochemical studies showing that SSTR is a potential radiopharmaceutical target for ER+/PR+ breast cancer . Its hypothesized that 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT may be superior to 18F FDG PET/CT primarily in hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer. In this study, its aimed to compare the uptake pattern of breast cancer lesions and HR status with 68Ga DOTATATE and 18F FDG uptake in lesions.
