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.
The aim of the study is to examine the effects of ESWT applications at different pulse rates on pain, function, grip strength and median nerve conduction velocity in patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups: the low dose ESWT group (28), the high dose ESWT group (28), and the control group (28). The first two groups will receive ESWT treatment at different doses, while the control group will be treated with sound only (1 time/week-3 weeks).
Patients who were using anticoagulant or antiaggregant medications for any reason and underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open prostatectomy (OP) due to BPH will be compared with those who were not using anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication. The rates of postoperative clot retention, presence of hematuria, reoperation due to hematuria, blood transfusion and re-admissions due to hematuria in the first postoperative month will be compared.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with an open-label extension (OLE).
Opioids are one of the most commonly used treatment approaches in the treatment of severe pain due to cancer and non-cancer causes. The most commonly reported side effect by patients related to opioid use is constipation. Opioid-related constipation, with an overall incidence of between 17% and 88%, requires a reduction in the treatment dose or drug rotation in some patients. It also makes it difficult for patients to comply with treatment. However, if the constipation due to opioid use is not managed properly and continues for a long time, many problems such as hemorrhoids and perforation, rectal pain and burning, intestinal rupture, anal fissure, diarrhea due to partial obstruction, urinary incontinence may develop. It is known that reflexology application applied to the foot increases parasympathetic activity while inhibiting sympathetic activity. Peristalsis and bowel movements are reduced in patients with opioid-related constipation. Reflexology practice; It is thought that an increase in motility can be achieved by increasing parasympathetic activity. However, it is thought that the development of reflexology socks will be more effective due to the difficulties of finding a reflexology specialist, the difficulty of reaching a reflexology specialist and the difficulty of having them applied at home. Thanks to the insoled reflexology socks, which have silicone balls that apply pressure to the stomach, liver, small intestine, large intestine and solar plexus points, patients will be able to wear them easily at home and perform their daily life activities at the same time. It is thought that reflexology stockings can be effective in reducing opioid-related constipation, together with being inexpensive and easy to apply. The aim of this study is to examine whether reflexology stockings are an effective approach in reducing opioid-related constipation.
Patients who applied to the Private Medar Hospital between February 2016 and February 2021 with chronic upper back pain and were diagnosed with Thoaracic Disc Herniatin (TDH) (with Thoracic vertebral MRI) and followed up for at least 1 year will be included in the study. Patients diagnosed with TDH were included in the medical treatment and/or physical therapy program. Before and after these treatment programs, the pain intensity of the patients was recorded with the visual analog scale (VAS). The number of patients who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic with chronic upper back pain between February 2016 and February 2021 will be researched, and the demographic characteristics of those diagnosed with TDH will be selected and recorded in their files, their pre- and post-treatment VAS scores, and the results will be analyzed statistically.
The investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of kinesio tape application on the sense of proprioception in patients with cervical spondylosis.This research aims to determine the relationship between the sense of cervical proprioception and neck pain intensity, neck disability and quality of life, and to determine the relationship between cervical spinal MRI findings and cervical proprioception. Studies conducted to date are limited to the evaluation of patients who underwent kinesio tape for neck pain in terms of joint range of motion, pain, and disability. In a study examining the relationship between cervical kinesio-tape application and cervical proprioception sense; The patient group consists of the young population and the patient evaluation was made immediately after the end of the treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of kinesio tape applied to the elderly patient group with cervical spondylosis, where the cervical proprioception sense is more affected, with cervical proprioception sense in the mid-term and to examine its relationship with cervical spinal MRI phenotypes. The possible relationship between proprioceptive sensory deficit and joint degeneration is based on a combination of neuromuscular control dysfunction and periarticular degeneration. Thus, the investigators aimed to improve the proprioceptive sense, reduce pain and increase functionality in the elderly patient group with kinesio-tape in the study.
Functional impairment of the upper extremities can impair the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of persons with Cerebral Palsy CP. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures several subjective dimensions dealing with the impact of health or illness on physical and psychosocial functioning. Quality of life (QOL) measures for children and adolescents have been developed in recent years, initially for children with specific chronic conditions, but more recently generic and health-related QOL (HRQOL) measures have been developed . The early assessments of children's quality of life were mostly disease-specific, and this trend has continued. Generic HRQOL measurements for children and adolescents can help identify subgroups of children and adolescents who are at risk of developing health problems. KIDSCREEN-27 is a generic HRQOL measure derived from KIDSCREEN-52. The KIDSCREEN-27 is a subset of the KIDSCREEN-52 that includes 27 items for assessing HRQOL across five dimensions: Physical Well-Being (5 items) examines a child's or adolescent's level of physical activity, energy, and fitness. Although the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the KIDSCREEN forms have been studied previously; however, its psychometric characteristics in children with CP have yet to be determined. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to provide an overview of the psychometric results of the KIDSCREEN-27 HRQOL questionnaire
The aim of this study is to investigate the instantaneous effects of self-stretching, plantar self-massage and manual stimulation on balance and reaction time in healthy individuals. 102 individuals meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Individuals will be randomly divided into 3 groups: static stretching group (n=34), self-massage group (n=34) and manual stimulation group (n=34). Static stretching will be applied to all individuals (n=102). In addition to static stretching, self-massage will be applied to individuals in the self-massage group (n=34). Individuals in the manual stimulation group (n=34) will receive manual stimulation in addition to static stretching. Individuals will be evaluated in terms of static balance, dynamic balance, reaction time and foot functionality before and immediately after the applications.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of virtual reality on perceived pain, anxiety, fear, physiological reactions and satisfaction in women during the HSG procedure.
