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.
It has been reported that in the first stages of the pandemic, a significant portion of the general population experienced psychological problems such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic disorders. These problems persist today. A balanced diet, physical activity participation and relaxation techniques are recommended for preventing such problems. In studies conducted before the pandemic, it is reported that breathing exercises have positive effects on anxiety, sleep and quality of life in both patients and healthy individuals. Aim of this study is to investigate the effects of breathing exercises applied via teleconference on fear of COVID-19, anxiety, sleep and quality of life in healthy adult population.
There are studies in the literature that evaluate the attitude, behavior and comfort level of students who do internships in different disciplines (medicine, pharmacy) towards the use of protective equipment. However, no study evaluating physiotherapy and rehabilitation students was found. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the behaviors and attitudes regarding the use of personal protective equipment of physiotherapy and rehabilitation department students who are interning in the Covid-19 pandemic.
the aim of our study is to investigate if stimulation of the P6, LI4 and LI11 acupuncture points via laser acupuncture prevents sore throat caused by the classic laryngeal mask.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of yoga practice on pain intensity, menstruation symptoms and quality of life in nursing students with primary dysmenorrhea. The hypothesis of this study is that yoga reduces pain and menstrual symptom severity and improves quality of life.
It has been planned to determine the effect of EFT, which effectiveness has been determined by the studies, on the covid-19 fear and anxiety experienced by the nurses working in the emergency department. The study was designed as a randomized controlled study with pre-test and post-test control group.
Covid-19 outbreak has caused death of millions of people because of not only the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection itself but also infection dependent complications. Abnormalities in thrombotic events leads to some of these complications which eventually result in emboli. The endothelial damage caused by the virus interacting with ACE2 on the host cells leads to the activation of coagulation cascade. Accumulation of byproducts of the cascade might have some roles in embolism inducing risk of organ damage, other life-threatening problems, and even death. To enlighten the factors triggering embolism, the investigators have focused on genetic changes such as polymorphisms and mutations in certain genes in DNA samples coming from intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Aim: To compare the effect of procedural anesthesia management with ketofol and propofol on the sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter in the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures.
Physical activity plays an indispensable role to lead a healthy life. Square-stepping exercises (SSE) are aerobic exercises.Our study was designed to investigate the effects of square-stepping exercise training on lower-extremity motor performance, muscle strength, and muscle quality of sedentary healthy young individuals.
This study was conducted in a pre-test-post-test, factorial group randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effect of privacy education on nursing students' privacy consciousness and attitudes towards patient privacy. The universe of the study consisted of the third-grade students (n = 239) registered in Gazi University Faculty of Health Sciences Nursing Department in the Fall Semester of the 2020-2021 Academic Year. All students (n = 239) were evaluated according to the exclusion criteria from the study. The students who met the inclusion criteria (n = 116) were informed about the research. A pre-test was applied to the students (n = 116) who volunteered to participate in the study. According to gender, 116 students were randomly assigned to the control group (n = 38), study group I (n = 40), and study group II (n = 38) by a statistician by computer technique. Data were collected November 2020 and February 2021 using the Informative Features Form, the Privacy Consciousness Scale, The Patient Privacy Scale, and Students' Views on Education Form.
Periodontitis is an infectious disease that causes destruction of periodontal tissues with complex etiology that develops due to local and systemic factors. Host-derived enzymes, cytokines and proinflammatory markers are the main elements that play a role in this degradation. New techniques such as non-surgical or surgical methods combined with laser application are used for its treatment. The subjects were divided into two groups as "Individuals Applied with Diode Laser in Addition to Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment" (Laser group) and "Individuals with Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment (SRP)" (Control group). While only non-surgical periodontal treatment was applied to individuals in the control group; In the laser group, diode laser was applied in addition to this treatment. All individuals were examined 1 and 3 months after treatment.The scaling root planing (SRP) procedure was performed mechanically with gracey curettes under local anesthesia. The diode laser applied to the study group was applied parallel to the gingival sulcus at 0.80W power, 940 nm wavelength and 0.80 J / s energy level in continuous phase. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were taken without any procedure in order not to change the amount and content. All clinical parameters were also measured by the same investigator before SRP and in all participants. After this treatment, the participants were re-examined in the 1st and 3rd months for control purposes and GCF samples were taken from the same regions again and the clinical parameters were measured again by the same researcher. GCF samples were stored at -20 degrees Celsius until ELISA studies were performed. Clinical parameters (pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, bleeding on probing, gingival index, plaque index) and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) sampling were obtained at each control. IL-1β, IL-10, IL-17, OPG, RANKL, TWEAK, Sclerostin levels in GCF samples were measured with ELISA method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser application in addition to non-surgical treatment in periodontitis treatment clinically and biochemically and to assess the potential biomarkers for use.
