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.
Cerebral palsy(CP) is the most common cause of disability in childhood. The motor spectrum of disorders is characterized by abnormal muscle tone, posture, and movement. The motor disorders of CP are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition and behavior. Besides classical appearance of symptomatology, tactile impairment takes an important place to be evaluated. Assessment of the integrity of tactile function composes of two main steps: tactile registration and tactile perception. Our main goal is the define the effect of tactile impairment on hand motor function with the usage of identical assessment tools in patients with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) and typically developed children (TDC).
In routine practice, pressure is often attempted to be adjusted by palpation of the cuff pilot balloon of the endotracheal tube. The aim of our study is to investigate the variation of the reliability of the palpation method, which is widely used in cuff pressure measurement in the absence of a manometer, with clinical experience. Our recommendation is to use an accessible manometer if available.
Pain is the most common secondary condition in patients with CP and the most important factor associated with reduced health-related quality of life. Pain in adolescents with CP is reported approximately 50-75%. Despite being a condition that can be seen with such a high prevalence, it is difficult for researchers and clinicians to capture this subjective perception in CP, as the individual may be a small child, may be cognitively impaired, visually impaired, or have communication difficulties. For these reasons, unrecognized pain can have negative effects on quality of life and participation in daily living activities, both as a result of limited mobility resulting from pain itself and fear-driven avoidance of specific activities. Self-report of pain is appropriate for individuals with CP without cognitive impairment. However, depending on the severity of communication impairment, self-report may be limited or even impossible to obtain in individuals with severe CP. In the case of individuals with CP, self-report supplemented with parent report, when possible, is the recommended strategy. The aims of this study: (i) to explore what is known about the prevalence, location, intensity and the effect of pain on daily lives of adolescents with CP; (ii) to demonstrate the relation between pain, clinical and sociodemographic characteristics; (iii) to compare self-reports of pain with mothers'reports of their child's pain.
ACTION Teens is a multinational cross-sectional survey-based study. The study consists of a quantitative online survey to be conducted among three groups of respondents in ten countries worldwide. The respondent population will include Adolescents Living with Obesity (ALwO), Caregivers of ALwO, and HCPs treating adolescents who have obesity. The goal of this study is to provide insights to drive awareness around the needs of adolescents living with obesity and their caregivers, as well as to identify key areas of misalignment between adolescents, their caregivers and the HCPs involved in obesity treatment and management. ACTION Teens is designed to generate evidence to identify and address these challenges on both a global and local level, extending the insights from the previously conducted ACTION-IO study.
This study will compare the new medicine IcoSema, which is a combination of insulin icodec and semaglutide, taken once a week, to insulin glargine taken daily with insulin aspart in people with type 2 diabetes.The study will look at how well IcoSema controls blood sugar level in people with type 2 diabetes compared to insulin glargine taken with insulin aspart. Participants will either get IcoSema or insulin glargine taken with insulin aspart. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. IcoSema is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. Doctors can already prescribe insulin glargine and insulin aspart in many countries. Participants will get IcoSema or insulin glargine together with insulin aspart. Participants must inject IcoSema once a week or inject insulin glargine once daily and insulin aspart 2-4 times a day. Participants will inject the medicines with a pen, which has a small needle, in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm, or stomach. The study will last for about 1 year and 1 month. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures participants blood sugar level all the time during an 8 week period at the beginning of the study and a 4 week period at the end of the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.
This study aims to determine whether parental involvement during venipuncture reduces venipuncture pain and anxiety in children with cancer.
Self- and peer-assessment is one of the important methods among student-centered assessment methods. The ability of the student to evaluate himself and his peers provides many contributions to him in his education and professional life.Nursing education aims to gain many psychomotor skills.Aim is to examine the effects of self and peer assessment training on the success of stoma care skills.
The aim of the study is retrospectively evaluating all features of endoscopic and pathological diagnoses of cases who underwent upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy.
The aim of our study is to compare the effect of Morton's neuroma in feet with pes planus and pes cavus on foot pressure and temporal and spatial gait parameters.
The aim of this study is to determine the different treatment methods efficacy in adult individuals with plantar fasciitis. Pain, functionality level, range of motion, muscle performance, quality of life will be examined. In the studies carried out to date; The comparison of the effectiveness of stretching exercises and Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), the comparison of ESWT therapy and ultrasound therapy, the comparison of manual therapy methods and stretching exercises were studied. The effects of the use of double air cushion shoes and exercise therapy on pain management and functional status were investigated. However, no study has been conducted to compare the effectiveness of ESWT treatment, transverse friction massage and exercise training, and to determine whether technics have superiority over each other. In this study, in addition to the evaluation of pain and functionality; joint range of motion, muscle performance and quality of life are the distinguishing features of the study. That's why researcher came up with the idea to work on this topic. This study will shed light on future studies and will contribute to the literature in the treatment of this diagnosis group. It will give us information about whether the different treatment methods researcher use in physical therapy are superior to each other.
