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.
Children's motor skills and physical performance increase with age due to the development of neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory systems. Sensory impairment seen in children with hearing loss can cause balance and coordination disorders, as well as decreased muscle strength and respiratory functions. Anatomically, core stabilization is provided by the diaphragm, abdominal, hip, pelvic floor, and gluteal muscles. Training for these muscles is intended to improve strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control. This training can help to improve the control of intra-abdominal pressure, intersegmental control of the spine, and muscular control of trunk movement. It also helps in strengthening the respiratory muscles, especially the main inspiratory muscle, the diaphragm. In this study, the effects of core stabilization training on children with hearing impairments' thoracic mobility, functional ability, and trunk muscle endurance will be examined.
The investigators aimed to evaluate long-term sarcopenia in patients with total and distal gastrectomy by measuring the anterior thigh muscle with USG, which is a more specific and easy method.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on sexual satisfaction and functioning of women and their partners in women with low sexual satisfaction. Method: The single-blind, randomized controlled study was conducted between April 2023 and January 2024. The sample of the study was women with low sexual satisfaction and their partners were randomized into two groups as intervention and control. Each group consisted of 120 couples, n=60. The women in the intervention group were given progressive muscle relaxation techniques three times a week for four weeks. The results of the study focused on the effect on sexual satisfaction and functioning of men and women.
Recently, it has been seen that investigations from saliva samples could be an alternative to those from blood samples. Saliva collection is a simple, non-invasive, cost-effective, and relatively easy method, making it potentially suitable as a new diagnostic tool in pediatric patients. In the current literature, elevated levels of saliva CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-γ have been reported in inflammatory conditions. However, while there are animal studies suggesting the use of saliva PCT levels for focal diseases such as gingival inflammation and periodontitis and as a potential tool for non-invasive detection of sepsis, there is no human study regarding its use in systemic infections. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between serum PCT levels and saliva PCT levels in children suspected of SBE and to determine the diagnostic value of saliva PCT.
The main purpose of our prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind study is to investigate the effect of keeping endotracheal tube cuff pressures within a certain range on the incidence of postoperative sore throat, hoarseness and cough.The secondary aims of our study are to evaluate the effect of intubation duration, smoking, presence of chest disease, presence of blood on the intubation tube after extubation, presence of NG\OG, and type of surgery on the incidence of sore throat, hoarseness, and cough.The patients were randomly divided into two: a study group with continuous cuff pressure monitoring and a control group without continuous cuff pressure monitoring.The endotracheal cuff pressure of the patients in both groups was measured by a blinded researcher using a cuff manometer after intubation, before extubation, and in long cases, at the 3rd hour after intubation.Patients were evaluated for sore throat, cough, and hoarseness at the 2nd and 24th hours by another researcher blinded to the study groups.
Thirty children with special needs were included in the study. Participants engaged in group exercises twice a week for four weeks, including warm-up and cool-down periods, with the goal of improving balance. The participants' balance was assessed using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test Short Form (Balance Parameters), Pediatric Balance Scale; functional mobility was evaluated using the Timed Up and Go Test, and attention level was assessed using the Stroop Test before and after the intervention.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of therapeutic touch on functional constipation in infants and young children.
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the pharmaceutical extract EPs® 7630 from P.sidoides in treating hand, foot, and mouth disease in children. The study will investigate the impact of EPs® 7630 on the severity of the disease over a specific period and its effects on hospitalization rates and potential complications. This research aims to contribute to the treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children.
This study is aimed to show effectiveness of a new suture technique to stop postpartum uterine bleeding due to uterine atony.
Peripheral Central Catheter (PICC) is one of the painful interventions that are routinely performed repeatedly to establish a safe venous access in preterm babies.Nurses should reduce the pain of babies and ensure their comfort during interventions arising from the necessity of care processes. Today, it is accepted that tactile stimuli, which have a pain-reducing effect on babies, should be used as a complementary treatment and care method. Palmar grasp reflex is one of the important tactile stimuli to reduce pain and provide comfort in babies. This research will be conducted to examine the effect of palmar grasp reflex stimulation on pain and comfort levels in PICC care in preterm babies.
