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 respiratory system receives mechanical power (MP) throughout time during mechanical ventilation. Despite its life-saving benefits, mechanical ventilation can cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Recently, VILI has been linked to mechanical power, or the amount of energy the mechanical ventilator sends to the respiratory system in a given time. The hunt for lung damage-reducing characteristics, notably after VILI and ARDS (Acute respiratory distress syndrome), has increased after Covid-19. Mechanical power must be used more to promote lung protection. We examined the effects of bilateral rectus sheath and OSTAP (Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane ) block on mechanically powered patients.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common disorder among women of reproductive age. About 40% of women report problems with their menstrual cycle. Pomegranate supplementation is one of the practices that may reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). This study was planned to determine the effect of pomegranate supplementation on the severity of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. In the study to be conducted in 2023 with women diagnosed with PMS living in Sakarya province, the individuals to be included in the study will be determined by snowball sampling method and those who meet the inclusion criteria will participate in the study. The researchers will divide the participants into control and intervention groups by using NCSS (statistical software) in a 1:1 ratio using a simple block randomization approach based on CONSORT guidelines. The individuals in the control group will first be administered the PMSÖ (Premenstrual Syndrome Rating Scale) and no intervention will be made. Participants in the intervention group will be informed about 3 mL pomegranate supplementation 13,14 three times a day for 10 days during 2 menstrual cycles (between 7 days before and 3 days after the estimated onset of menstruation). The test will be repeated at the end of the 2nd month post-intervention. Normality of continuous data will be assessed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Data will be expressed as mean ± SD or median and interquartile range (IQR) as appropriate. Variables will be compared between the two intervention and placebo groups using Student's T-test (parametric data) or Mann-Whitney (non-parametric data) or chi-square tests (for qualitative indices). Analyses of changes from pre-intervention to post-intervention within the identified groups will be performed using the Dependent Two Sample t Test (normally distributed parameters) or Wilcoxon signed rank test (non-normally distributed and categorical parameters). All statistical calculations will be performed with SPSS software version 18.
Objectives: Practical, applicable, valid, and reliable tools are needed to assess physical performance in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty(TKA) in a variety of settings, including routine clinical assessment, research studies, and community-based programs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) among patients with TKA. Methods: We included patients who underwent TKA surgery. The SPPB, Timed up and go(TUG) test and, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Knee Score were administered to the patients. SPPB was performed twice on the same day with 1 h rest.
The goal of this prospective observational study is compare in terms of efficiency and complications transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and Modified thoracoabdominal plane block-perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) blocks in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The investigators aims to examine whether M-TAPA block provides more effective analgesia than TAP block in upper abdomen surgeries, and whether there is any difference in terms of nausea- vomiting and need for additional analgesics. The participitans will be observed for postoperative 24 hours with numeric rating score (NRS), postoperative nausea-vomiting score (PNVS) and in terms of need for additional analgesic dose.
This study will investigate the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilisation techniques Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGS) and Natural Apophyseal Glides (NAGs) on pain, disability, and range of motion (ROM) in obese individuals with mechanical low back pain (LBP).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare analhesia effects of adductor canal blockade versus distal adductur canal blockade added anterior cutaneus nerve block in total knee arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are: - question 1: does distal adductor canal blockade + anterior cutaneus nerve blokade superior analgesia then adductor canal block for undergoing TKP? - question 2: does distal adductor canal blockade + anterior cutaneus nerve blokade decrease drain place pain on anterolateral face of knee?
Comparison of complete decongestive treatment and complete decongestive treatment + cycling ergometry treatment in patients with gynecologic cancer-related lower extremity lymphedema in terms of quality of life, lower extremity functionality and lower extremity volume measurement
This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of peanut ball application on labor process, birth pain, and birth comfort. The data of the study were collected between July 2021 and July 2022 in a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul. 115 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria of the study were included in the sampling, and the study was completed with 102 (experimental n: 51; control n: 51) pregnant women. Data were collected with an introductory information form, visual and verbal pain scales, Birth Comfort Scale, and birth follow-up form.
With our study, we aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between zonulin, which plays a crucial role in intestinal barrier function and is implicated in the etiopathogenesis of many chronic and autoimmune diseases, and scattered white spots lesions associated with lymphatic stasis and inflammation in the duodenum.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Mulligan concept Reverse Natural Apophysial Glide Technique (RNAGS)technique applied to the thoracic region on pain, limitation of movement, and functionality in individuals with mechanical neck pain.
