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.
Pelvic floor muscle weakness is one of the most important causes of incontinence. There are many studies supporting that pelvic floor muscle training prevents incontinence and reduces symptom severity, and with A level of evidence, it is among the first in the conservative treatment of incontinence. Functional status and balance problems are common in elderly people with incontinence, and it is known that functional type incontinence is common. Elderly people with incontinence most often fall while trying to get to the toilet. Balance exercises are recommended for falls and balance problems. The aim of this study is to examine whether pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) combined with Otago exercises is effective on symptoms, balance and functional status in elderly people with UI living in nursing homes, compared to PFMT alone.
Covid-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Selcuk University Hospital were included in the study. Clinical frailty score was given during admission to the intensive care unit. Demographic data, laboratory data, radiological imaging and vital signs of the patients were recorded. Treatment and patient positions were recorded during the intensive care follow-up of the patients. Mortality status of the patients 6 months after admission to the ICU was recorded.
In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of Sexuality-Based Family Planning Education given to women of childbearing age via Podcast on contraceptive method selection and sexual life quality. Accordingly, the hypotheses of the study are as follows: Hypotheses of the Project H1: Sexuality-based family planning education via podcast has an effect on women's conscious and appropriate contraceptive method selection. H2: Sexuality-based family planning education via podcast has a positive effect on women's sexual life quality. H3: Sexuality-based family planning education via podcast has a positive effect on the quality of sexual life of women by increasing their level of contraceptive knowledge. H4: Sexuality-based family planning education via podcast has a positive effect on women's attitudes towards family planning.
It is aimed in this study to compare the effect of changing the interval time for programmed auto boluses of local anaesthetics on the total anesthetic consumption and quality of labor analgesia with dural puncture epidural technique.
The most important indicator of the fertility period, which has an important place in a woman's life, is the menstrual cycle, which begins with menarche and continues until menopause. In this natural process that takes place every month physiologically, some women experience significant pain [1]. This condition, defined as dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), is classified in two ways as primary dysmenorrhea (PD) and secondary dysmenorrhea (SD) [2,3]. PD is the most common women's health problem, especially in adolescents and young adults (10-20 years of age) [1,5]. When studies on the incidence and severity of primary dysmenorrhea are examined, the incidence of PD is seen at rates ranging from 40-90% [5-8]. The main goal of the treatment approach to PD, which negatively affects women's quality of life in many ways, is to relieve the woman by reducing the pain. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is one of the non-pharmacological and integrated treatment methods for women with primary dysmenorrhea. This practice, which is also referred to as EFT stroke/touch in most sources, is based on expressing the problem by touching the energy meridian points of the body, as in acupuncture and acupressure. Considering the results of the studies, it can be said that EFT is effective in the management of pain and the negative effects caused by the restrictions in the life of the person (social and daily living activities, etc.) [27-30]. Thanks to EFT, it is thought that women will contribute to the reduction of the fear and anxiety of experiencing pain just before menstruation and the anxiety that their life will be limited due to this. Studies investigating the effect of EFT on pain have reported that it is effective in coping with pain [33-35]. However, no randomized controlled study was found in the literature search for the application of EFT in high school students with dysmenorrhea. For this reason, it is thought that if EFT is applied in this age period with a high incidence of dysmenorrhea, important findings can be achieved in terms of parameters such as pain intensity and menstrual symptoms, and it will contribute to the literature by shedding light on similar studies. [36]. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the emotional freedom technique applied to high school students with primary dysmenorrhea on pain severity and menstruation symptoms.
Hemidiaphragmatic paresis is a common side effect of brachial plexus blocks such as supraclavicular or infraclavicular block techniques. It has been shown that diaphragma thickness is affected at some extent in supraclavicular block and also in costoclavicular block which is accepted as an infraclavicular approach. However, these two approaches have not been extensively investigated before in terms of the diaphragmatic paresis. Here, it is aimed to compare these two methods considering their effects on diaphragma thickness in inspirium and in expirium. Moreover, the performance properties such as motor and sensory block onset, needle visualization time, needle visualization difficulty, postoperative pain scores, and lastly the perfusion index which is known to be reflecting vasodilation will be investigated.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of three different applications (Manual therapy, electrotherapy and home program) on long-term pain, joint range of motion and, secondarily, the functional level of the knee.
In our study, university students who coded the course from various faculties and departments within the scope of a university-wide free elective course, after regular physical activity; It was aimed to examine the effects on lifelong learning, physical activity, fatigue, sleepiness, depression, anxiety and stress levels, quality of life and walking distances and physiological expenditure indices.
The aim of this study is to compare leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and photobiomodulation (PBM) applications, which have been repeatedly reported to be superior to control groups, in terms of pain, soft tissue and bone healing in tooth extraction sockets.
This clinical trial aimed to involve patients aged 40-85 years who had been experiencing knee pain for at least 6 months and had received a clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis through radiologic imaging. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received a 3-week intra-articular injection of 15 mg/ml ozone, while the second group received a 1 ml intra-articular injection of betamethasone. All patients were evaluated before treatment, as well as 4 and 12 weeks after the first dose of treatment. The study evaluated treatment efficacy using the Visual Pain Score (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC).
