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.
In this randomized prospective single-blind study,American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system ( ASA )I-II-III patients aged 50-80 years undergoing transurethral bladder resection will be randomly divided into two groups. First group will be covered with 41 centigrade degrees double layered cotton cloth. Second group will receive active prewarming. Core temperature of all patients will be monitorized via tympanic membrane. Skin temperature will be monitorized from 4 different body areas. Spinal anesthesia will be applied at the level of L3-L4 by a 25 Gauge quincke needle with a dose of 12.5-15 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine. Pinprick test will be used for sensorial block assessment. T10 sensorial block will be our goal. Hemodynamic parameters will be recorded. Skin temperature will be monitorized before and after spinal anesthesia and changes will be recorded. Operation time, amount and temperature of irrigation fluids, transfusion requirement, discharge time from postoperative care unit will also be recorded. Shivering score and thermal comfort scale will be used. The two groups will be compared for the temperature changes.
The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of clinical pilates exercises and connective tissue massage in individuals with Fibromyalgia (FM). 32 women were randomly divided into two groups as intervention (n=15, mean age=48.80±7.48) and control (n=17, mean age=55.64±7.87). While connective tissue massage and clinical pilates exercises were applied to the intervention group, control group were applied only clinical pilates exercises.According to our results, connective tissue massage increased the effectiveness of clinical pilates exercises in individuals with FM.
The purpose of the study is to evalute the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rozanolixizumab for treatment of adult participants with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOG-AD).
Postlumbar surgery syndrome (PLSS; failed back syndrome) is characterized by persistent pain in the lower back or lower extremities after spinal surgery. It occurs in 10-40% of patients who undergo a back surgery. The recently introduced pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) technique is widely used to provide relief from chronic pain and studies have shown that PRF stimulation can be used to control neuropathic pain by placing the needle electrodes into the caudal epidural space The aim of this study is evaluation of the effect of ultrasound guided caudal epidural pulsed radiofrequency stimulation in patients with chronic lumbosacral radicular pain due to postlumbar surgery syndrome.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of biostimulating, analgesic and noninvasive high intensity laser therapy on pain, functionality and quality of life in patients with chronic shoulder pain. Participants between the ages of 18-75 and without any cognitive, communication and psychiatric problems were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups and both received conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program for 3 weeks, 5 sessions a week. The treatment program applied was as followed; the control Group (n = 25): conventional physiotherapy and study Group (n = 25): conventional physiotherapy and High-intensity Laser Therapy (HILT). Upper extremity range of motion was evaluated with 'goniometer', pain threshold with 'algometer, muscle strength with 'myometer'; disability status with 'The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)'.
OBJECTİVE The world population is getting older. The most common condition in the aging population is comorbidity, which is a combination of more than one chronic disease or condition. Contrary to the traditional view that specific symptoms are characteristic of a single disease, the coexistence of multiple diseases and other age-related conditions in elderly individuals leads to what is defined as geriatric syndromes. Geriatric syndromes are quite common in the elderly population and are associated with poor quality of life, adverse health status, and increased cost. Physicians who more frequently care and manage patients with comorbid diseases and geriatric syndrome can cope better with these conditions when faced with them. It is known that the frequency of comorbidity and geriatric syndrome increases especially in the elderly. However, in the oldest age group, which is showing the fastest increase in population, these rates are not clearly known. The aim of this study is to shed light on the management of elderly patients by identifying geriatric syndromes and comorbidity prevalence, as well as chronic diseases and common geriatric syndromes, in patients 90 years of age and older who applied to the geriatric outpatient clinic. METHOD Data of patients 90 years and older who applied to the geriatric outpatient clinic between November 2016 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The drugs used by the patients with their demographic characteristics such as age, gender, chronic diseases and geriatric syndromes were gathered. The drugs used were also obtained from the hospital-registered files and through the E-Pulse health system. Diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cerebrovascular occlusion (CVO), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) were recorded as chronic diseases. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), dementia, delirium, depression, fall, incontinence, malnutrition, sleep disorders, polypharmacy, and fall were recorded as geriatric syndrome. The modified Charlson comorbidity index was used to calculate the comorbidity index.
This study aims to examine the effect of the usage of squeezable bottles and standard bottles on the feeding process of infants with CLP after cleft palate surgery.
Immediate effect of one-session Matrix Rhythm Therapy on the functional status and treatment satisfaction of hemiparetic patients will be investigated.
In this study, demographic characteristics (age, gender, which toe is involved, family history) of the patients who were operated because of ingrown nails were examined, and the post-operative satisfaction score of the patients was noted, and the recurrence rate and complications were recorded.
The loss of sensorial feedback causes gait impairment in hemiparesis. The studies show that proprioceptive impairment of knee is related to falling in these patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of proprioception on balance and gait functions in hemiparetic individuals.
