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.
Background: To determine the effect of sesame oil in preventing phlebitis that may occur during intravenous therapy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Material and Method: A randomized controlled interventional study will be conducted with patients treated in the coronary intensive care unit of a university hospital. The population of the study will be the patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery and administered parenteral amiodarone infusion. The power analysis was carried out by taking the study by. The sample size was determined as 44 patients. Personal Information Form and Visual Infusion Phlebitis Scale will be used to collect data. Sesame oil will be applied to the patients in the intervention group as 10 drops, 10 cm around the cannula, for 10 minutes. This administration will be repeated every eight hours during the 24-hour amiodarone infusion. No application will be made by the researcher to the patients in the control group. At the end of each 24 hours, patients in both groups will be evaluated by the investigator on the Visual Infusion Phlebitis Scale. Descriptive statistics, chi square, independent t test and Fisher's exact test will be used to evaluate the data.
This research was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study aiming to determine the impact of virtual reality glasses used in the AVF process on the pain felt by patients and patient satisfaction.
Aims of this clinical research: - To investigate trunk proprioception in all three planes in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), - To investigate the pelvis orientation sense in all three planes in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, - To investigate whether trunk proprioception and pelvis orientation sense are improved with Physiotherapy Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE) in AIS, - To investigate whether trunk proprioception and pelvis orientation sense are improved with vestibular exercise training to be added to PSSE exercises in AIS, - Comparison of the effects of different exercise training on trunk proprioception and pelvis orientation sense in AIS - To examine the parameters that may be associated with the improvement of trunk proprioception of different exercise training (health-related quality of life, perception of cosmetic deformity, scoliosis-related clinical features such as Cobb angle, axial trunk rotation, curve type, etc.).
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of topical Tranexamic acid application in overcoming periorbital ecchymosis and edema after rhinoplasty, which are common and do not have a standard treatment.
The increase in the tension of the soft tissues around a nerve restricts the movement, affects the function of the nerve, and makes the nerve vulnerable to entrapment. Even a mild nerve compression can cause entrapment and lead to neuroinflammation. It is known that inflammatory mediators amplify axonal sensitivity. Although the spontaneous discharge potential of visceral afferents is quite low under normal conditions, neuroinflammation increases the excitability of these fibers. With this mechanism, hyperalgesia may develop in sensory fibers in neuroinflammation. This may cause pathologies in the organs innervated by the relevant nerve. The fascia and muscles of the cervical region surround the vagus nerve. There are two main fascial compartments in the cervical region. The SCM and trapezius muscle fascias join to the most superficial fascia of the deep cervical fascia and they together form these compartments. These fasciae superiorly attach to the cranium and inferiorly to the pectoral region. The vagus nerve emerges from the jugular foramen together with the 9th and 11th cranial nerves. It then continues through the carotid sheath in the cervical region. The carotid sheath is in contact with the SCM muscle. For this reason, it can be thought that SCM muscle tension or thickness may affect the carotid sheath and thus the function of the vagus nerve passing through it. In summary, deterioration in vagus nerve activity plays a role in pathologies of the organs innervated by the vagus. Although the relationship between vagal dysfunction and gastrointestinal system symptoms is clear, the mechanisms affecting vagus nerve function have not yet been clarified. It has been reported in the literature that some maneuvers from the cervical region are also effective on the vagus nerve. Also, according to investigators' clinical experience, gastrointestinal symptoms are frequently observed in patients with increased cervical soft tissue tension. However, there are not enough studies investigating whether the cervical region soft tissue tension can affect the gastrointestinal system via the vagus nerve. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the relationship of cervical soft tissue tension with vagus nerve function and gastrointestinal symptoms in asymptomatic individuals and individuals with neck pain.
Today, many methods are used in the evaluation of intrauterine fetal well-being. Non-stress test (NST) method is mostly used in the non-invasive evaluation of fetal well-being during pregnancy and labor. NST is a procedure in which fetal heart sounds are recorded and the relationship between fetal movements and fetal heart beat is monitored.3 Various methods are used to minimize the psychological effects that occur during pregnancy. Among these methods, it has been seen in the studies in the literature that music, which is a non-pharmacological method, has a positive effect on the pregnant woman and the fetus. It is easy and enjoyable to listen to music during the routine non-stress test process. However, there are not enough studies to prove the effect of music. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the music concert applied during the nonstress test procedure on the health of the fetus, the anxiety level of the pregnant woman and blood pressure.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, is a disease characterized by myelin, oligodendrocyte and axon damage [1]. Research continues on the autoimmune, infectious, environmental, vascular and genetic origins of this disease, which affects approximately 2.5 million people in the world and is seen 2-3 times more in women than in men. Although the signs and symptoms of the disease vary according to the location of the lesion; Loss of balance and strength, spasticity, sensory disturbances, fatigue, ataxia, autonomic dysfunction, and decreased visual acuity is frequently observed. There are no studies in the literature investigating the validity and reliability of this test in individuals with MS. Reliability is population-specific and it is important to investigate the reliability of the L test in MS patients. Therefore, the aim of our study is to reveal the test-retest reliability and validity of the L test.
This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the anxiety level patients undergoing cystectomy surgery. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces anxiety levels and stabilizes hemodynamic parameters.
If the bone mineral density of a patient with a diagnosis of osteopenia falls further, he develops osteoporosis.Menopause causes many changes in women's bodies in the form of vasomotor, sleep disorders, fatigue, aches and pains, altered cognitive functions, as well as genitourinary problems such as vaginal dryness, irritation, recurrent urinary tract infections. In the long term, inevitable changes occur in the musculoskeletal system. Osteoporosis, sarcopenia, postural dysfunction, regression in gait cycle, Loss of balance control and instability and increased risk of falling are the changes reported during this period. These mentioned effects negatively affect the quality of life of women. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of bone mineral density with respiratory functions and exercise capacity in postmenopausal women.The second aim is to compare the respiratory functions and exercise capacities of postmenopausal women with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
The World Health Organization (WHO, 2013) defined the 10-19 age group as "adolescent" and the 15-24 age group as "youth". Adolescence period; It is a period of rapid growth, development and maturation in terms of physical, mental, biochemical and social aspects.10-20% of children and adolescents living in the world have mental health diseases such as generalized anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders.In adolescents, yoga is practiced as a relaxing tool to reduce stress, especially for exam anxiety.In Turkey, there are no yoga-based experimental studies to prevent anxiety, stress and depression in adolescents.
