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 compares the effectiveness of peloid therapy and paraffin treatment in carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients receive either 2 weeks of peloid therapy or 15 sessions of paraffin treatment, along with splint therapy for 3 months. Pain and symptom severity are assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ). Results are measured at baseline, 4 weeks post-treatment, and a 12-week follow-up.
The aim of this prospective study is to investigate whether the anxiety levels of parents of children aged 2-6 years who will undergo inguinal area surgery have an effect on the child's preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain level.
The horseback riding simulator (HRS) is a dynamic robotic device that mimics the movement of a horse for hippotherapy purposes. HRS aims to improve the patient's balance, adaptation and provide postural adjustment by mimicking the rhythmic movements of the horse. This study aims to research the potential benefits of the horseback riding simulator on the lower extremity selective motor control, balance and trunk control in children with Cerebral palsy.
Delirium is a complication characterized by fluctuations in orientation, memory, thinking, or behavior, with sudden onset of these changes. Studies have shown that pharmacological agents are the most significant risk factors for delirium in intensive care units. In recent years, the impact of non-pharmacological interventions in preventing delirium development has started to be discussed.
Bedside monitors are frequently used in monitoring vital signs of critically ill patients. Nurses working in healthcare facilities, especially in intensive care units, are required to manage devices with different alarm threshold values, categories, and types of alerts, leading to alarm fatigue. In response to this serious threat to patient safety, the FDA and The Joint Commission worked to develop strategies to address alarm fatigue in 2011. Alarm monitoring, identification of the cause, and silencing are typically performed by nurses. When reviewing alarm control studies in the literature, the CEASE care package developed by Levis et al. in 2019 was encountered. The tool was developed for personalized clinical alarm monitoring for the patient.
The goal of this clinical trial is determine the effect of virtual reality headsets on pain, anxiety, fear and physiological parameters in children aged 4-7 years who undergoing skin prick test. The main questions it amis to answer are: Virtual reality headsets effect on the pain that during the procedure Virtual reality headsets effect on the anxiety that occurs during the procedure Virtual reality headsets effect on the fear that occurs during the procedure Virtual reality headsets effect on physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate) during the procedure
Participants aged 4-10 years (92 patients), who came to the Hospital Operating Room at the University Faculty of Dentistry with an indication for dental treatment under general anesthesia due to lack of cooperation, will be selected by simple randomization and divided into 2 groups. One group of participants who will undergo routine general anesthesia and dental treatment procedures will receive routine monitoring (Group I), and the other group will receive EEG monitoring (Group II) in addition to routine monitoring. Electrocardiography (ECG), oxygen saturation (SpO2), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), endtidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), endtidal sevoflurane (EtSev) parameters observed as routine monitoring of the patients will be recorded and the minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) value will be kept at 0.9. Anesthesia management will be performed, and in Group II, in addition to routine monitoring, anesthesia management will be carried out to keep the SEF values observed in the EEG between 10-15 and PSI values between 25-50. Routine general anesthesia procedures and dental treatments will not differ between groups. Age, gender, weight, intubation type, ASA, previous surgical experience, anesthesia duration, number of extracted teeth with decayed fillings (dmft) values will also be recorded. In the intraoperative period; hemodynamic parameters (average heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation values) and amounts of medication consumed (most tidal sevoflurane percentages in induction and maintenance, presence of burst suppression, sevoflurane/fentanyl/rocuronium consumption). The participants, whose operation is completed, will be taken to the recovery room and any post-operative discomfort will be noted. The cases will be recorded in the report form. In the postoperative period; Extubation time, agitation (PAED scores) and pain (FLACC, VAS-ORF) scores will be recorded during extubation and 10, 20, 30 minutes and 2 hours after extubation, and recovery time, hospital stay, presence of nausea and vomiting will also be recorded. Modified Aldrete Recovery Score (MAS) will be used for recovery criteria and MAS >8 will be considered as a recovery indicator. The Pediatric Anesthesia Early Delirium Scale (PAED) will be used to evaluate early agitation. FLACC and VAS-ORF scale will be used as pain scales.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of ultrasonography-guided hydrodissection technique with 5% dextrose and dexamethasone injectates when applied in different volumes in the treatment of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
The goal of this observational study is to examine the effects of classical futsal training on physical fitness in amateur futsal players. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Does classical futsal training have any effect on the physical fitness level of futsal players? Participants will be taken to the classical futsal training program for 8 weeks. Before and after 8 weeks, players will be evaluated for their physical fitness.
Non-pharmacological methods such as multimedia applications and visual and auditory technological tools are used to create a more enjoyable experience by reducing children's fear and anxiety and distracting them in the preoperative period. With the latest developments in technology, live, immersive, augmented and virtual reality systems are seen to be included and used in preoperative preparation training, especially for pediatric patients. One of the applications of these innovative technologies that has attracted attention recently is augmented reality technology. The original value of this study is to reduce the fear and anxiety levels experienced by children reading books in the preoperative period with the application of augmented reality, which is a developing, promising and easily accessible technology. The method of this study consists of two groups: an augmented reality applied book reading group and a control group. In the preoperative period for both groups, a survey will be administered to the child and the accompanying parent using the "Child and Family Introductory Data Form", which includes sociodemographic characteristics, approximately 1 hour before the surgery. In addition, the child himself will be asked to score the "Child Anxiety Scale-State" scale to determine the level of anxiety about the surgery, and the child himself, the parent and the researcher will be asked to score the "Child Fear Scale" to determine the child's level of fear about the surgery. The book reading group with augmented reality application will be asked to read the voiced and animated book titled 'One Child, One Miracle', accompanied by an application downloaded free of charge from Google Play or IOS to their mobile phone or tablet. The storybook will be presented to the children in this application group in three dimensions with the help of a mobile phone or tablet. Children in the control group will read the same book without using the augmented reality application. After reading the book for both groups, the children will be asked to rate their fear and anxiety levels again using the same scales. This research is a randomized controlled and experimental study. The adequacy of the sample size in the study "G. It was calculated using the "Power-3.1.9.2" program. In the power analysis conducted for the sample and power calculation of the experimental study with the application and control groups, it was decided to study with 30 children for each group.
