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.
Purpose: The investigators aimed to determine whether this treatment is effective on pain and function by applying mesotherapy treatment to patients followed up with gonarthrosis. Methods: This study is a prospective randomized controlled study. The research will be carried out between November 2021 and April 2022 in Pamukkale University Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) After the approval of the Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee, 38 patients diagnosed with gonarthrosis will be divided into 2 groups using a table of random numbers. The first group will be the group that only applied quadriceps strength exercise and Mesotherapy will be applied to the second group along with quadriceps strength exercise. The data will be analyzed with the SPSS package program. Continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables as numbers and percentages. parametric test Test of Significance of Difference Between Two Means in comparison of independent group differences when assumptions are met; When parametric test assumptions are not met, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare independent group differences. In addition, the relationships between continuous variables will be examined with Spearman or Pearson correlation analyzes and the differences between categorical variables will be examined with Chi-square analysis. Since there is no similar study conducted and there is no possibility to conduct a pilot study, assuming that a moderate effect size will be obtained as a result of the power analysis made in the direction of the hypothetical expectations, it was taken to obtain 80% power with 95% confidence, and it was calculated that at least 38 people should be included in the study.
It is to determine the effectiveness of different telerehabilitation exercise programs received to 2 groups randomly formed in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients. The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TGr) and Video Group (VGr).
This study aimed to examine the effects of single and dual-task training on physical function, cognitive function, quality of life, balance, concerns about falling, and activities of daily living in the elderly with age-related hearing loss. The elderly who were diagnosed with age-related hearing loss in Pamukkale University Health, Practice and Research Center, Department of Otorhinolaryngology participated in the study. The elderly were allocated a single-task training group, dual-task training group, and control group. Thirteen patients in the single-task training group, 15 patients in the dual-task training group, 14 patients in the control group completed the study. Degrees of hearing loss were determined by pure tone audiometry. Evaluations, Senior Fitness Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, World Health Organization- Quality of Life- Old Module, Berg Balance Scale, Falls Efficacy Scale International, Functional Independence Measure, Dual Task Questionnaire, Dual Task Effect, were performed initially, after the interventions and at the 6th month. The interventions were carried out two days a week and 40 minutes, for five weeks.
This study was conducted with 90 patients. The phlebotomy site was wiped with circular motion in the group-I, vertical movement in the group-II, and first vertical and then circular motion in the group-III.
This research will be carried out to determine the effect of walking exercises performed using a behavioral change model on symptom severity and quality of life in patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
In general, the strength training on unstable surfaces has a positive impact on strength performance, power and stability compared to not training. As described above, previous studies have shown that self-myofascial release has a positive effect by improving flexibility, but its effect on balance is still debated. Myofascia contains numerous sensory nerves related to proprioceptive and mechanical receptors such as Golgi receptors or Pacini receptors. Therefore, the pressure applied during the self-myofascial release intervention can stimulate these mechanoreceptors and enhance the proprioceptive information integrated by the central nervous system to adjust the activation level of motor units. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of myofascial release applied to the thoracolumbar fascia on flexibility, muscular endurance and balance in healthy young adults.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the cold steam application on body temperature in combination with the treatment algorithm in fever management in children with febrile neutropenia.
It is important to increase the independence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients in activities of daily living. Almost all activities of daily living require managing many activities at the same time. For example, walking or standing while talking on the phone. There is a need for easily applicable, reliable and valid scales to evaluate dual-task performance in MS patients. Therefore, the aim of this study is to establish the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Dual-Task Questionnaire scale in MS patients. This study included a total of 50 patients with MS [age (18-65) years]. Dual-task Questionnaire (DTQ), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) with dual-task and Nine Hole Peg test (9-HPT) with dual-task were applied to the patients. The second evaluation (retest) was carried out by the same physiotherapist one week following the first evaluation (test) in order to measure test-retest reliability.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder in which involuntary thoughts and irresistible behaviors are seen and its prevalence affects 2%-3% of the general population. Deep TMS is a treatment method that provides stimulation of lower parts of the brain and larger brain volume, and in addition to drug treatment and psychotherapy approaches, magnetic stimulation of localized brain regions and disease symptoms are addressed. The presence of the medial prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex in the dysfunction on the specified cycle seen in OCD patients indicates that the stimulation of these regions is necessary for a meaningful result in the treatment of deep TMS; studies show that the effect of the deep TMS method emerges as a result of the stimulation of these regions. 30 patients with OCD will included into the study and dividen into 3 groups (DTMS (n=10), DTMS + Paroxetine (n=10), Control(n=10)). Patients will evaluated in terms of depression, quality of life, and EEG before and after the intervention.
Cervical spine disorders can cause neck pain with or without neurological dysfunction. The most common cause of acute and chronic neck pain is cervical degenerative changes. Surgical decision of cervical pathology is made by anamnesis, neurological examination and imaging methods. Airway management can be difficult for patients presenting for cervical spine surgery. In addition, these patients may have severe cervical spine instability or spinal cord level myelopathy and may develop serious neurological complications associated with the intubation technique. Videolaringoscopes, which have become widely used with the developing technology, provide a better view than direct laryngoscopy in terms of cervical immobilization during intubation. Therefore, videolaryngoscope is preferred for cervical pathologies. Nowadays, the use of videolaryngoscope is recommended in patients with airway difficulty. Neutral position is important for intubation of patients with cervical pathology and it is highly recommended in the literature to evaluate these patients as difficult airways. All cervical patients are intubated with videolaryngoscope in investigator's clinic. The aim of this study was to evaluate how long the duration of cervical pathology affects airway anatomy and how it affects airway management during anesthesia. On the other hand, airway-related measurements will be performed by MRI and ultrasonography (USG), which is routinely evaluated in the diagnosis process, and it will be aimed to evaluate these measurements in terms of their effects on intubation quality. At the end of the study, all evaluations were analyzed and it was aimed to compare the effects of other evaluated parameters (such as USG and MRI measurements) on intubation difficulty level, with cervical pathology duration being primary.
