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.
This study,the investigators aimed to investigate the effects of virtual reality-based task-specific exercises applied in addition to conventional rehabilitation program on functional level and disease-related quality of life in patients who underwent surgical repair due to flexor tendon damage due to traumatic hand injury.
Posture is generally defined as the sitting or standing position of a person's body. Repetitive or prolonged positioning in an atypical posture may also occur as a risk factor for the development of musculoskeletal diseases. Race, gender, seasons, nutrition, socio-economic status, profession and occupations, psychological state, hygiene, sleep patterns, exercise habits, fatigue, fractures, soft tissue disorders, disorders in the normal alignment angles of the joints, and emotional states such as joy, grief, and distress. It affects posture. Creating professional awareness among physiotherapy and rehabilitation students is very important for the physiotherapy profession, which has a very important role in protecting and improving public health, to achieve its professional goals. On the other hand, physiotherapists and physiotherapy students are at great risk of musculoskeletal disorders due to their working conditions and working postures. The basic principle of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques, defined as facilitating the responses of the neuromuscular mechanism by stimulating the proprioceptors and briefly referred to as PNF, is based on the principle that physiological movements in the human body have rotational and oblique characters and that a greater response can be achieved with movements performed against maximum resistance. The shoulder girdle serves purposes beyond stabilization and movement of the extremities. The clavicle and scapula cooperate as a single unit in the shoulder girdle. The scapula is not a weight-bearing structure during normal functions; rather, it supports the attachment of skeletal muscles.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of conventional suture (CS) and modified sling suture (MSS) techniques, applied in free gingival graft (FGG) surgery using gingival unit graft (GUG) and conventional graft (CG) techniques, on clinical parameters and graft dimensions.
Patients planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be included in this study. The effects of liberal and restrictive fluid regimens given peroperatively to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be compared on postoperative nausea and vomiting. The aim of this study is to investigate which regimen is more effective on postoperative nausea and vomiting in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Dentin hypersensitivity is a common problem in society. Untreated hypersensitivity affects the patient's quality of life, complicates plaque control and increases the risk of caries and periodontal disease. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of desensitizing toothpastes containing sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, nano-hydroxyapatite, 8% arginine and calcium carbonate. Fourty eight patients with at least two teeth with positive responses to air and mechanical stimulus were included in the study and were divided into four groups. Sodium fluoride (Colgate®, Cavity Protection) in group A, stannous fluoride (Oral B® Gum Calm & Sensitivity) in group B, nano-hydroxyapatite (ApaCare®) in group C and 8% arginine and calcium carbonate combination in group D (Colgate® Sensitive Pro- ReliefTM) were used by the patients continuously for 16 weeks. Dentin hypersensitivity, by using VAS and Shiff scores and periodontal parameters were evaluated at baseline, 2nd week, 4th week and last 16th week.
Neuropathic pain is a common complication after spinal cord injury (SCI), which significantly affects the patient's quality of life and may be resistant to pharmacological treatment. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacies of intermittent theta burst (iTBS) and high frequency (10 Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) by comparing them with each other and with sham stimulation, in the treatment of neuropathic pain resistant to pharmacological treatment in patients with SCI. Question 1: İs rTMS anda iTBS treatment, useful for pain severity and the effect of pain on daily functions, in the treatment of neuropathic pain in SCI Question 2: Are rTMS and iTBS treatments effective in depression in patients with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury?
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between disease severity and subcutaneous tissue shearwave elastography findings with pain threshold and quality of life in patients diagnosed with lipedema.
This randomized controlled study was conducted at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Hospital between 16.05.2022-30.06.2023. Research data were collected at the gynecology outpatient clinic. The sample of the study consisted of 74 (37-intervention, 37-control) premenopausal women who met the inclusion criteria and were placed by randomization. The data of the study were collected using "Personal Information Form, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Visual Analogue Scale for Vasomotor Symptoms (VAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Scale (MENQOL)". First, the pretests of the study were applied to women in the intervention and control groups. Afterwards, women in the intervention group underwent the MenoMind program for eight weeks, and women in the control group were left with routine clinical care. In the eighth week of the research, the "MenoMind Evaluation Form" was applied to the women in the intervention group to evaluate the MenoMind program. One month after the study was completed, post-tests were performed on the intervention and control groups.
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases that most often causes physical disability. Physical therapy modalities, exercise programs and intra-articular injections are widely used in the treatment of OA. Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of adding different exercise treatments to hyaluronan injection on proprioception, muscle strength and quality of life in patients with knee OA. Methods: A total of 54 patients were included in the study and were randomized into three groups. Quadriceps strengthening exercises were applied to the patients in Group 1, a home exercise program was applied to the patients in Group 2, and no exercise program was applied to the patients in Group 3. Additionally, all patients received patient education and intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection into the symptomatic knee. Standard forms were filled out to evaluate the patients' pain, functional status and quality of life. Muscle strength and proprioception were evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer. Changes in the patients' walking parameters were evaluated by gait analysis. Evaluations were made at the beginning of treatment, at the end of treatment, and at the 3rd and 6th months of treatment.
First aim is to determine the effect of mother and father kangaroo care on the premature baby's Comfort Behavior level and physiological parameters (respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation and body temperature). Second aim is to determine the effect of mother and father kangaroo care on Parental Satisfaction and Neonatal Intensive Care Parental Stress level. The study was a a randomized crossover study with pretest-posttest design. It was carried out in the neonatal intensive care unit of Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital in Konya province. Study data were collected from 19 mother and 19 father and their premature newborns between February 2023 and August 2023.
