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.
The assessment of pain plays a crucial role in pain management. Nurses are instrumental in the identification, evaluation, and initiation of pain management strategies. In the literature, it is strongly recommended to provide education about postoperative pain management to patients, their families, and those responsible for patient care. Additionally, the development of a pain management plan and goals is advocated. The optimal timing, content, and objectives of patient education depend on the type of pain (acute or chronic), the availability and effectiveness of treatment, and the patient's level of education and literacy. Educating individuals undergoing elective surgery or outpatient treatment about the likelihood and magnitude of acute pain they may experience, as well as informing them about available methods to prevent or alleviate this pain, is critical for pain management. Shindo et al. conducted a study suggesting that perioperative pain education significantly reduces postoperative opioid use. According to the Health Belief Model, an individual's perception of health is influenced by their perception of the value of health, beliefs about illness, and beliefs about the consequences of illness. Therefore, when a patient's health beliefs and attitudes are determined, health education and treatment planning can be tailored more appropriately.
This is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, 3-arm, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd with or without durvalumab compared with investigator's choice chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC.
Accelerated Postoperative Recovery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at facilitating faster and more effective recovery for patients undergoing surgical procedures. The ERAS protocol encompasses specific measures implemented during the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases. Its goal is to enable patients to achieve better outcomes by reducing postoperative pain, complications, and hospital stays. The multimodal and multidisciplinary approach to patient care during the perioperative period includes a combination of evidence-based interventions designed to reduce the stress of surgery to maintain anabolic homeostasis and promote recovery. This approach involves preparing patients for surgery through assessment and education, optimizing intraoperative management (such as minimally invasive surgery, pain control, and optimal fluid management), and expediting postoperative recovery (e.g., through early feeding and mobilization). Early mobilization is considered a crucial element of this approach and is strongly recommended as part of ERAS guidelines across various surgical disciplines. Prolonged bed rest following surgical treatment has been associated with adverse outcomes, such as thromboembolism, pneumonia, muscle weakness, and loss of physical conditioning. If a patient does not have physical limitations in the postoperative period, early ambulation benefits in the preservation of respiratory, circulatory, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal system functions, as well as in reducing complications related to anesthesia and surgery. Ultimately, it accelerates recovery, enables early discharge, reduces hospital costs, and lightens the workload of healthcare professionals.
This is a Phase 2b, global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, dose ranging study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of add-on therapy with SC lunsekimig in adult participants aged 18 to 80 years, (inclusive) with moderate-to-severe asthma.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of shellac nail polish application on pulse oximetry measurements in healthy subjects. This study was planned as a prospective, self-controlled clinical research to determine the effect of shellac nail polish application on SpO2 and pulse values in healthy people. The population of the study will consist of women who had shellac nail polish application in a private beauty centre between June 2023 and December 2023. The minimum required sample size was calculated as 162 in G*Power (3.1.9.2) programme (α=0.05 (two-way), 1-β=0.95). The data will be collected with the data collection form prepared in line with the literature. Firstly, the personal information of the participants will be recorded in the data collection form. The middle finger of the left hand of each participant will be the treatment group and the little finger will be the control group. After the shellac nail polish is applied to the middle finger of the left hand, SpO2 and pulse values will be measured simultaneously with a pulse oximeter from the left hand middle finger and little finger of the participant and recorded on the data form. The data obtained from the study will be analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 26.0 software.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of gel nail application on pulse oximetry measurements in healthy subjects. This study was planned as a prospective, self-controlled clinical research to determine the effect of gel nail application on SpO2 and pulse values in healthy people. The population of the study will consist of women who had gel nail application in a private beauty centre between July 2023 and October 2023. The minimum required sample size was calculated as 162 in G*Power (3.1.9.2) programme (α=0.05 (two-way), 1-β=0.95). The data will be collected with the data collection form prepared in line with the literature. Firstly, the personal information of the participants will be recorded in the data collection form. The middle finger of the left hand of each participant will be the treatment group and the little finger will be the control group. After the gel nail is applied to the middle finger of the left hand, SpO2 and pulse values will be measured simultaneously with a pulse oximeter from the left hand middle finger and little finger of the participant and recorded on the data form. The data obtained from the study will be analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 26.0 software.
In patients who have had joint replacement surgery, there is a shortage of concrete evidence regarding the effectiveness of telerehabilitation. The aim of this study is to compare telerehabilitation with home based exercise program and standard home exercise program in total knee arthroplasty.
This study was planned to determine the predictive effects of impulsivity and coping skills on quality of life in patients with bipolar disorder. The sample of the study, which was carried out in a descriptive design, will consist of 80 patients who applied to Adıyaman Besni State Hospital Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 and who were in the euthymic period according to the doctor's control. It was planned to collect the data by applying the Personal Information Form prepared by the researchers, "Brief Quality of Life in Bipolar Disorder", "Barratt Impulsivity Scale -11 Short Form" and "Coping Attitudes Evaluation Scale". The data will be evaluated with descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal Wallis test, Pearson correlations and regression analyses using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22 software. Scale use and ethics committee permission were obtained from the responsible authors of the scales before the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate participant preference for coformulated hyaluronidase/pembrolizumab (MK-3475A) administered subcutaneously (SC) over pembrolizumab (MK-3475) administered intravenously (IV) in participants with multiple tumor types. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study.
