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.
We hypothesize that focal vibration therapy will reduce pain, increase the mobilization of the glenohumeral joint, and will improve functionality in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted to evaluate the nutritional status and total antioxidant/oxidant capacity of individuals diagnosed with osteoarthritis.
In a study conducted on 75 COVID-19 patients, the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on viral load was investigated as a result of the use of hypochlorous acid and povidone-iodine as an oral antiseptic.
The study was planned in a randomized controlled study design to determine the effect of kinesio taping applied to women who gave birth by cesarean section on acute pain, comfort level and breastfeeding behavior. The study will be carried out at Hacettepe University Adult Hospital. The universe of the research will be women who gave birth by cesarean section at Hacettepe University Hospital during the study. Women who are planned for a cesarean section, meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer, will be informed about the practice and will be included in the sample of the research. There will be two groups assigned by the randomization method in the study. It is planned that 24 women will be formed in one of them, 48 women in total. In addition to routine treatment and care, kinesio taping will be applied to women in the intervention group; the control group will receive only routine treatment and care.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral nerve compression syndrome. There is insufficient evidence about the efficacy and superiority of conservative treatment methods. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the additional contribution of phonophoresis and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to exercise in patients with the CTS. Study design: A single-blind randomized controlled study. Methods: Forty-five patients with clinical and electrophysiologic evidence of moderate CTS were included in the study. The patients were randomized into three groups. Group 1 received phonophoresis and exercise, group 2 received LLLT and exercise and group 3 received exercise alone. All patients were evaluated electrophysiologically, clinically and ultrasonographically before treatment and 6th and 12th week after the treatment.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by posture and movement disorders as a result of damage to the immature brain for any reason before, during or after birth.In addition to tone, postural and neuromuscular control in children with Cerebral Palsy; Problems are also observed in communication skills, perceptual and cognitive systems and sensory systems.
Parents of Cerebral Palsy (CP) children participate in treatments, education services and general medical check-ups; They have many responsibilities such as the use of drugs, devices, educational materials. Therefore, involving parents of CP children in the rehabilitation process provides a stronger rehabilitation service for their children. In the studies, it was stated that the active participation of the parents in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation process increases the success rate of the treatment and the participation of the parents plays a key role for the success of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Today, the increasing aesthetic expectations of the patients, showing its effect in the field of orthodontics, leads to the orientation towards aesthetic materials. The Invisalign system is also polyurethane for aesthetic purposes. It is a series of transparent plaques personalized to the patient's problems. However, the transparent structure of the plaque increases the importance of its cleanliness. There are many studies evaluating the removal of bacterial biofilm from plaques. However There are minimal studies evaluating the effect of the materials used for cleaning on the light transmittance, which has a significant effect on the aesthetics of the plaques. The aim of this study is to compare 5 different agents' effects on colour change. The work created will be divided into 5 groups according to the cleaning materials used. One of the cleaning agents will be assigned by lot and will be used while the treatment processes are continuing. The colour measurement will be carried out using the VITA Easyshade Compact spectrophotometer (VITA Zahnfabrik DEASYC220, Bad Sackingen, Germany). To prevent external light interference and keep the measurement head in a fixed position for each measurement, a special cubic box with a 3 mm radius entrance was created. The head of the device was firmly attached to the box lid with black tape to increase light-tightness. The colour measurement will be performed from the occlusal region of the second premolar tooth on the aligners, which will be placed on a standard white background. The colour measurement will be carried out as received and after the aligners were used in the patient's mouth for 2 weeks. Prior to measurements, the spectrophotometer will be calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Each measurement will be repeated three times, and the average value will be determined. The Commision de l'Eclairage (CIE) Lab* system will be used for colour measurements. This system uses three parameters to define colour. The L* coordinate is a brightness measure that ranges from 0 (black) to 100 (white); the a* coordinate is horizontal and shows chromatic coordinates between red (+) and green (-), and the b* coordinate is also horizontal and extends in the direction of yellow (b+) and blue (b-). To determine the colour difference, a formula (Formula 1) will be used. ∆L, ∆a, and ∆b values will be calculated by subtracting the starting measurements (L0, a0, b0) from the final measurements (L1, a1, b1). The ∆E value will be calculated using these values, and the colour difference between groups will be compared. ∆E2-1 = [(∆L)2 + (+ (∆a)2 + (∆b)2]1/2= [(L1-L0)2 + (a1-a0)2 + (b1-b0)2]1/2 The formula proposed by Filho and da Silva will be used to convert ΔE values to National Bureau of Standards (NBS) values. NBS unit = ΔE* × 0.92. The ΔE values will be converted to their clinical significance using the NBS system. According to the results of the research, the colour change of the agents used to clean Invisalign aligners will be determined. The use of agents that have a minor effect on aesthetics can be considered ideal according to the results of the study
