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.
Medical procedures are negative experiences that cause pain, distress, and anxiety and are not only uncomfortable during medical procedures, especially in children; negative consequences such as poor recovery, sleep disturbances, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. There are many different approaches, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods, for the treatment of pain and anxiety in children during medical procedures. Non-pharmacological methods vary depending on the child's age, level of development and the type of procedure, and non-pharmacological methods generally used in children fall into three groups: supportive, physical and cognitive or behavioral methods. Supportive methods are practices that include psychosocial care of the child, such as reading a book or playing games. Physical methods include techniques such as cold application, massage, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Cognitive or behavioral methods include practices such as listening to music, daydreaming, relaxation, and various methods of distraction. Cognitive and behavioral approaches typically use the activating or relaxing effects of music for arousal or calming and to enhance the learning of certain skills and behaviors. Music therapy practice reduces pain and anxiety levels by stimulating the pituitary gland. Another method used is the use of kaleidoscope. In the literature, they reported that the use of kaleidoscope is effective in reducing the pain that may occur during blood collection in studies conducted with preschool and school children, children and adolescents, and school-age children. The results show that the kaleidoscope can be used effectively to distract children from the painful procedure and reduce the perception of pain.
Insomnia is observed due to the cancer itself, the treatments applied and the complaints experienced. Insomnia disrupts comfort and reduces the quality of life. This work; It is planned to evaluate the effect of foot bath and lavender oil scent applied for 14 days on the severity of insomnia. Within the scope of the study, the participants will be divided into three groups and the procedures will be applied. In the first group, between 21:00 - 21:20, you will be asked to place your feet in the foot bath apparatus with 38-40 ° C warm water. In the second group, between 21:00 and 21:05, a cotton pad with three drops of pure lavender oil will be fixed on the clothes in the upper chest and shoulder area, and you will be able to smell it for 5 minutes. The third group will be given both a foot bath and a scent of lavender oil.Which group the patients will fall into will be determined randomly. Research hypotheses: H0-1: Foot bath has no effect on the severity of insomnia in cancer patients. H1-1: Foot bath has an effect on the severity of insomnia in cancer patients H0-2: Smelling lavender oil has no effect on the severity of insomnia in cancer patients. H1-2: Smelling lavender oil has an effect on the severity of insomnia in cancer patients. H2: The effect of foot bath and lavender oil scenting applied together on the severity of insomnia in cancer patients is more than the application of only foot bath. H3: Foot bath and lavender oil sniffing applied together has a greater effect on the severity of insomnia in cancer patients than only lavender oil sniffing.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether adding abemaciclib to abiraterone plus prednisone prolongs the time before prostate cancer gets worse. Participation may last approximately 60 months.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting women of all ages worldwide. Advanced and comprehensive treatment options have increased survival rate and life expectancy, necessitating a focus on the complications of breast cancer treatment. Although axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) causes high morbidity, it is an integral part of surgical treatment in patients with invasive breast cancer and axillary lymph node metastasis. Axillary lymph node dissection and radiotherapy are associated with pain, physical symptoms, and decreased functional abilities in the upper extremity. This study aimed to compare the potential effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) technique on muscle strength, pain and functionality in this patient group with progressive resistance exercise (PRT).
This study aime to investigate the effects of balance and proprioception exercises using two different methods (classical balance training and Balance System™ SD) in addition to strengthening exercises on dynamic balance, pain, functional status and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
One of the most common nursing care problems after surgery is defecation problems and the risk of constipation. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the squatting position with footstool on the constipation severity and defecation problems in the postoperative period in patients with hernia surgery.
Prospective study, 40 patients ASA 2-3, 30-75 years old who were planned for laparoscopic hysterectomy operation will be included.One day before the operation and postoperative 1.3.7. A mini mental assessment test will be performed on these days.Standard monitoring and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy monitoring to measure cerebral oxygen saturation will be performed on the patients.NIRS sensors will be placed on the right and left sides of the forehead, 2 cm above the eyebrow, before induction of anesthesia. Before the induction of anesthesia, the measurement will begin and the FiO2 (fraction of inspiration oxygen) will be kept at 60%.General anesthesia induction will be made with propofol 2mg/kg, remifentanil 0.5 µg/kg and rocuronium 0.6mg/kg, and maintenance will be provided with 2% sevoflurane.The patient will be intubated and ventilation support will be provided so that the tidal volume is 6-8 ml/kg and the end tidal CO2 is 30-40 mmHg. PEEP (Positive end expiratory pressure) will not be applied to any patient. Intra-abdominal pressure will be maintained at 15 mmHg. All patients will be given 1gr paracetamol and 100mg tramadol for postoperative analgesia.During the measurement of optic nerve diameter, a layer of sterile water-soluble gel will be applied on the closed eyelid with a linear 10-5 MHz ultrasound probe. In our study, ONSDs of all patients will be measured by the same experienced anesthetist. Measurements will be made at 5 different times. 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia in the supine position (T0), 5 minutes after the onset of pneumoperitoneum (T1), 5 minutes after the upright trendelenburg position (T2), at the 2nd hour of the trendelenburg position (T3) and 5 minutes after returning to the supine position at the end of the surgery (T4) .ONSD measurements of the patients measured at 5 different times, peroperative NIRS values, peroperative SpO2, mean blood pressure, peak heart rate, anesthesia time, surgery time, time to stay in the trendelenburg position, partial oxygen saturation (PaO2), PCO2, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and peak airway pressure (pPEAK) will be recorded.
Pediatric inguinal hernia repair (IHR) candidates experiences ordinarily mild to moderate pain, rarely severe pain in the postoperative period. Caudal epidural block (CEB) and transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) are two effective postoperative analgesia options. In this randomized study, it is aimed to compare the effects of CEB and TAPB on postoperative pain scores, additional analgesic requirement, postoperative nausea and vomiting incidence, procedural complications, family and surgeon satisfaction, length of hospital stay, chronic pain development in pediatric bilateral open IHR.
This study aimed to evaluate the cognitive behavioral therapy source of Turkish version of the 'message to dentist' (MTD) with children attending two dental settings.
Benign hypertrophy of the prostate (BPH) is a disease seen in 20% of men over the age of 50 and in 40% of those over the age of 70. The gold standard in the treatment of BPH is transurethral resection of the prostate using high-frequency diathermy. Today, this process is done with the bipolar technique, in which isotonic saline (isotonic sodium chloride %0.9) is used as the irrigation fluid. This irrigation fluid, which is used after long operation and deep tissue resection, can enter the systemic circulation through the opened venous sinuses. It has been shown in clinical studies that postoperative acute hyperchloremia (serum Cl level > 110 mmol/L) develops after the use of intravenous normal saline solution in large amounts in the perioperative period. Our aim is to detect hyperchloremia and associated metabolic acidosis without anion gap in the follow-up of these patients. Our primary hypothesis in this study is that hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis will develop due to the high amount of normal saline used in TUR-P. .
