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 was a randomized controlled trial. It included young girls with primary dysmenorrhea in a district located in the south of Turkey and was conducted between March 01, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The sample size of this research was decided by performing a power analysis in the power statistical program. Considering the parameters of the groups, the effect size was calculated to be 0.5003604. Since α was found to be 0.05 and power (1 - β) was 0.95, a total number of 66 participants were distributed into three equal groups (sage oil massage: 22, Reiki: 22, control: 22). Considering the possibility of case losses, 30 participants were included in each group; finally, a total of 90 people were included in the study. For data collection, a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic characteristics and the visual analog scale (VAS) were used. Reiki and massage with sage oil were applied for 30 minutes, and no application was performed on the control group.
The aim of this study is to present results on the effect of lightened and musical baby mobile on sleep quality in children hospitalized in the pediatric emergency clinic. In the randomized controlled study, 124 children hospitalized in the pediatric emergency clinic of a public hospital and appropriate the inclusion criteria were equally divided into 2 groups. The lightened and musical baby mobile was used during the night's sleep in the patient's room of the children in the first group (intervention group). The children in the second group (control group) did not use a lightened and musical baby mobile. The sleep quality of the children in the 2 groups was evaluated with the Child's Sleep Quality Evaluation Form (CSQEF).
In this study, It is aimed to evaluate the effect of breathing exercise on fatigue in patients with heart failure, to reduce the severity of fatigue in participants, and thus to enable patients to participate more actively in daily life.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of logotherapy counseling program on chronic sorrow, meaning of life and dignity of palliative care patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Laura Mitchell's relaxation training on primary dysmenorrhea and menstrual symptoms. The study will be carried out on women who have been diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea, have a regular menstrual cycle (28±7 days), have menstrual pain higher than 4 cm according to the visual analog scale (VAS), and wish to voluntarily participate in the study. The questionnaire created by the researchers will be administered online. The women included in the study will be divided into 2 groups as experimental and control groups by applying randomization using the random drawing method. Laura Mitchell's physiological relaxation training will be applied to the experimental group for 30 minutes on menstrual days during a total of 3 menstrual cycles, accompanied by an online live lesson. The control group will continue their daily routine.
Pes planus is a common foot problem since childhood, which may include loss of height of the medial longitudinal arch, which is the most important arch supporting the foot, valgus of the hindfoot, and abduction of the midfoot relative to the hindfoot. Muscle shortness, increased joint laxity with obesity, W-shaped sitting, male gender and genetic background are among the factors that can increase the incidence and severity of pes planus in the pediatric population. It has been shown in different studies that pes planus is carried into adulthood at a rate of 4-23%. It is known that there is oxygen consumption from the body during muscle contraction. For this reason, it has been shown in the literature that muscle oxygenation is better and the performance of the individual is better in exercises combined with breathing exercises in the exercise program. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized whether foot shortening exercises combined with breathing would have an effect on muscular activation during foot shortening exercises. It is seen that there is a limited number of studies in the literature evaluating the effect of breathing exercises and combined foot exercises on the activation of the muscles around the feet. For this reason, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of combined respiratory foot shortening exercises on the muscular activations of the foot circumference in individuals with flat feet. Two-way repeated analyses of variance will use to determine the statistical significance of Abductor Hallucis Longus, Tibialis Anterior, and Peroneus Longus electromyography activity. Participants: Ten participants with pes planus.The participants will perform Short Foot Exercises with and without respiratory exercises in sitting and standing positions. Main Outcome Measures: Surface electromyography will use to measure the activity of the Abductor Hallucis Longus, Tibialis anterior, Peroneus Longus. Respiratory exercises may be an effective method for reducing compensatory Tibialis Anterior activity and increasing Abductor Hallucis Longus muscle activity during Short Foot Exercises for individuals with pes planus.
The aim of this study is to determine and compare the effects of neuromuscular control exercises for the shoulder, and standard conservative exercise programs, which are different forms of exercise and have an important role in the treatment of partial thickness rotator cuff tears on treatment. Thus, it is aimed to compare these exercise types with different mechanisms on treatment, to determine the place of neuromuscular control exercises in treatment and whether they are more effective than conventional exercises.
Stroke, according to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO); It is a syndrome characterized by a rapid settlement of signs and symptoms of focal loss of cerebral function without a cause other than vascular causes. As it is known, it is important for patients to regain functional skills in the upper extremities after stroke. Modified-Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (m-CIMT) is a versatile neurorehabilitation technique that aims to improve motor function in the hemiparetic upper extremity and increase its use in daily life activities. However, as in the Covid-19 pandemic, patients cannot always reach rehabilitation services. In such cases, telerehabilitation is a treatment option. There are a limited number of studies in which m-CIMT is applied according to the principle of telerehabilitation, which has become a necessity, especially due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of m-CIMT on upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a vestibular disorder that manifests itself as a result of dizziness caused by the otoconia in the inner ear coming out of their places and circulating freely in the semicircular canals or by attaching to the cupula and sensitizing the cupula to head movements against gravity. The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of pharmacological treatment initiated by the physician and vestibular rehabilitation initiated by physiotherapist in patients with acute benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Thirty patients, aged 18-50 years, who applied to the Bağcılar Safa Hospital, were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups, 15 pharmacological control group and 15 vestibular rehabilitation group. 8 patients in the pharmacological control group were given the drug containing betahistine by the physician, and 7 patients received the drug containing additional dimenhydrinate to the betahistine. In the rehabilitation group, exercises including head and eye movements and maneuvering were performed according to the direction of the canal after the exercise, and the patients were given a home exercise program. Treatment continued for 4 weeks. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), dynamic visual acuity test, romberg, semitandem, tandem posture tests with a stopwatch, standing test on one leg with eyes open and closed, and unterberger tests were applied to patients before and after treatment.
This study is aimed to determine the effect of abdominal massage on excretory activity and pulmonary function tests (PFT) in patients undergoing PKP.
