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.
Abdominal surgeries are those in which pain is felt severely due to the incision close to the diaphragm and an intensive neural network in the abdominal area. If the patient's post-operative pain is not controlled; Since it will restrict patient mobility, it can cause problems on many systems such as the pulmonary, cardiovascular and neuroendocrine system, and even suppress the immune system. Surgical intervention decision can cause anxiety in individuals regardless of the type of surgical procedure. Fear of anesthesia, fear of death, possibility of developing complications after surgery, pain, change in daily life activities, loss of social life and loss of control can lead to anxiety. In addition to all these, factors such as pain, fear, anxiety that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system can increase the pulse rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate. Reiki, a complementary and alternative medicine (TAT) method, is a bioenergy based on the energy use of the body and has been used in various cultures for centuries in preventing and treating some diseases. Reiki is thought to help balance the body's natural energetic systems and reduce anxiety by transferring the available energy through hands. During Reiki, the activity of the parasympathetic system increases, pain and anxiety decrease. Thus, the patient's complaints are reduced by providing early discharge with possible complications after surgery. Studies on the effectiveness of reiki, which is increasing worldwide use and recommended as a treatment approach for health services, are insufficient. The aim of this study, which is planned as a three-group interventional randomized control, is to examine the effect of reiki application on patients' negative reflections on pain, anxiety, fear and vital signs, which is the major surgery type in which patients experience the most pain.
Patients undergoing colonoscopy were divided into progressive relaxation exercises and control groups. Pretest and posttest abdominal pain and distention scores of the patients were determined after colonoscopy.
Dexmedetomidine is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for its sympatholytic effect, providing sedation, analgesia, and cardiovascular stabilization in the perioperative period. Remifentanil is a µ opioid agonist with a rapid onset and short duration of action, which is degraded by plasma esterase in tissues. Investigators aimed to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil infusions on sedation quality, side effects, and surgeon's satisfaction in geriatric outpatients who underwent cataract surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NIS793 in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel and placebo in first-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). This study aims to explore whether blockade of Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel can reduce fibrosis in PDAC, restore chemo-sensitivity and ultimately lead to improvements in overall survival (OS) and other clinically relevant outcomes.
A survey consisting of questions about swallowing and dysphagia was provided to universities' medicine and nursing students. The answers of students were analyzed
Recruitment maneuver is used to reopen atelectasis alveoli. Positive airway pressure applied during the recruitment maneuver may increase intrathoracic pressure, resulting in hemodynamic instability, venous return disorders, and increased intracranial pressure. Our study will examine the effect of recruitment maneuver on intracranial pressure by evaluating Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter change.
Occlusal splints are employed in the treatment of sleep bruxism. These appliances decrease sleep-related actions and damages bruxism, like grinding, tooth-wear, headache, and temporomandibular joint disorders. Occlusal splints are produced both in hard and soft forms according to the used material. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of occlusal splint type on the sleep quality and occlusal force parameters of patients with sleep bruxism.
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of nursing care provided to intensive unit care patients according to their circadian rhythms on sleep quality, pain, anxiety and delirium.
The protection of the body integrity of the newborn is very important in terms of the development of physical and mental health and social health. Failure to protect the skin integrity of newborns and not paying attention to the clinical findings on the skin may cause morbidity/mortality. Attitudes of nurses can affect the evaluation of newborn skin negatively and/or positively. It was determined as the development of an attitude scale for newborn nurses to evaluate newborn skin and examining the factors affecting their attitudes. In line with this purpose, an attitude scale for newborn nurses regarding the evaluation of newborn skin will be developed and nurses' attitude levels, sociodemographic variables that are related to attitude and cause significant difference can be determined.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of acupressure applied to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) on pain and sleep quality.
