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 aim of our study was to evaluate the pre-procedure state and trait anxiety levels of adolescents patients hospitalized for the purpose of gastrointestinal endoscopy performed under sedation.
Cerebral palsy develops due to brain damage before, during and after birth. Motor control is impaired in individuals with cerebral palsy. Disturbances occur in muscle tone, mobility and body posture. There is no definitive treatment for cerebral palsy, but improvement in functions can be achieved with physiotherapy. Because of the covid-19 pandemic precautions, activity level has been decreasing in children with cerebral palsy, as in adults. Children experience physical, social and psychological problems caused by physical inactivity. Exercises and games that can be done comfortably in the house will positively affect the physical development of children and enable them to spend productive time by getting away from excessive technology, internet and smart phone usage, excessive screen time. The aim of this project; To ensure that children with cerebral palsy who need intense exercise and activity and who experience physical inactivity due to COVID-19 can exercise with telerehabilitation and to determine the effect of telerehabilitation on the quality of life, anxiety and depression levels of children with cerebral palsy and their caregivers. It will be compared to a control group that did not accept telerehabilitation but was recommended to exercise at home.
This research aims to determine the effect of acupressure applied to nurses actively working in internal clinics on sleep quality and fatigue during the COVID-19 pandemic process. This research hypothesizes that acupressure improves sleep quality and reduces fatigue.
45 sedentary volunteer female individuals whose age range is between 18-25 years and diagnosed with chronic idiopathic neck pain by a specialist physical therapy doctor will participate in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into three groups: vegan diet group (n=15), therapeutic exercise group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Participants with chronic neck pain who will be on a vegan diet will follow a diet program prepared by an expert dietitian under the supervision of an endocrinologist. In this diet program, a diet that includes grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, as well as dairy products and eggs, known as lacto-ovo vegetarian, will be applied. Consumption of meat, poultry, fish, seafood and processed food and beverages will not be allowed. There will be no calorie restriction in the diet, and the diet will be arranged according to the amount of calories calculated by the expert dietitian according to BMI. The diet will last eight weeks. Individuals who follow a diet will be constantly checked by the workers with the mobile device application (My Fitness Pal®). Individuals in the therapeutic exercise group will perform therapeutic exercises for eight weeks, 3 days a week, accompanied by a specialist physiotherapist.The aim of this study is to compare the Effect of Therapeutic Exercise and Vegan Diet on Pain and Quality of Life in Young Women with Chronic Idiopathic Neck Pain.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of physical activity on fear of childbirth (tokophobia) in pregnant women.
The infraclavicular nerve block, which is frequently preferred in upper extremity surgeries, provides additional advantages such as reduction in opioid consumption by providing analgesic effect in the postoperative period as welll. The success of peripheral nerve blocks is usually assessed by subjective feedback from the patient, and patient cooperation is needed. The aim of this study is to assess whether the perfusion index level, which can be measured noninvasively, can be a predictor of the infraclavicular block success.
Inflammatory bowel diseases are chronic and progressive entities, triggered by exposure to environmental factors in individuals with a genetic background. One of the most common environmental factors is the type of diet which is a key influencer on pathogenesis. Nutrients alter the intestinal microbiota, thus changing the intestinal permeability. The Western-type diet encompasses sugar, fat, and protein-rich products that have some deleterious effects on the intestinal microbiome compared to the plant-based Mediterranean-type diet. Based on this fact, diet-based therapeutic efforts have been used extensively in pediatric Crohn's disease patients and there is strong evidence that exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is as effective as corticosteroids to induce both clinical and endoscopic remission but this treatment strategy is underutilized in adults.
In this retrospective study, we aimed to compare the laboratory and clinical results of cytokine hemadsorption as an immunomodulation therapy in COVID-19 ICU patients with or without sepsis.
Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale is a well-known tool to evaluate functional balance. Diabetic patients suffer more often from balance disorders than the rest of the population. The aim is to investigate the validity of the Turkish version of ABC short form in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
Lack of sleep and poor sleep quality in pregnant women are associated with maternal depression and cognitive-sensual irregularities. These irregularities were reported worsening women's life quality and even increasing suicide ideation. It is also associated with obstetrical complications such as fetal growth deficiency, preterm birth, prolonged labor, preeclampsia and increased abdominal delivery frequency.Vitamin D also may affect the sleep indirectly through the cases with nonspecific pains. It was reported that vitamin D levels are correlated with sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome. The primary purpose of this study is to examine sleep disorders and vitamin D levels in pregnant women, and also, secondarily, vitamin D - anxiety and sleep disorders - anxiety relations were assessed.
