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.
Laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN) is a safe procedure and rapid wound healing, affecting the quality of life. The physiology of postoperative pain after LLDN has been attributed to reasons such as tissue damage, residual pneumoperitoneum, and diaphragm irritation. In terms of patient comfort after LLDN, pain control is provided by IV analgesics, local anesthetic injection instead of incision, and regional techniques. Regional anesthesia techniques for postoperative pain control have become popular in recent years. Today, many blocks are performed with ultrasonography (USG) to reduce the severity of pain after laparoscopic and open surgeries. In 2016, Forero et al. erector spinae plane block (ESPB) had been defined and used successfully in thoracic and abdominal surgeries. In our clinic, peripheral nerve blocks such as intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and ESPB are applied for postoperative analgesia. The method of analgesia is suitable for the surgery and explained to the patients. This study; In LLDN operations, it was aimed to compare the bilateral ESP block performed with USG in terms of postoperative pain scores and opioid analgesic consumption compared to patients without any block. Before the operation, the anesthesiologist in charge of the anesthesia outpatient clinic provides information about both anesthesia and postoperative pain management methods suitable for surgery. This is the standard practice in our clinic. Before anesthesia, anesthesia and analgesia methods will be briefly reminded to the patient who has come for the operation. He/she will be asked if he/she wants to apply postoperative analgesia. Block procedure will be applied to patients who want ESP block. Standard analgesia will be applied to all patients. Regardless of the study, patients who underwent LLDN operation will be interviewed in the postoperative period with or without an ESP block for postoperative analgesia. The data and postoperative evaluations of the patients who agreed to participate in the study will be recorded for study purposes. The patient data will be taken from the hospital registration system.
One Hundred Fifty woman patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology 2010 diagnostic criteria and 150 healthy woman volunteers will be included.Demographic data (age, gender, height, weight, marital status, education level) and duration of fibromyalgia diagnosis will be recorded. Patients will be evaluated according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Assessment Instruments (DCTMD: AI ). Patients will be evaluated by Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) Pain Screener, Symptom questionnaire, Clinical Examination Form from Assessment Instruments Axis I. Pain Drawing, Graded Chronic Pain (version 2), Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4), Oral Behaviors Checklist will be applied within the scope of Axis II.
This case-control study consists of 120 participants aged between 18 and 65 years. Case group included 60 patients with bruxism who presented to physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic between May 2021 and August 2021. Control group included 60 healthy participant. Patients who had temporomandibular region surgery, congenital teporomandibular joint pathologies, and previous temporomandibular region trauma were also excluded. Assessments including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), education level, and symptom duration were recorded. Patients was evaluated according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Assessment Instruments. Patients was evaluated by Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: TMD Pain Screener, Symptom questionnaire, Clinical Examination Form from Assessment Instruments Axis I. Pain Drawing, Graded Chronic Pain (version 2), Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8 (JFLS-8), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4) , Oral Behaviors Checklist were applied within the scope of Axis II.
Covid-19 disease has caused a worldwide pandemic. However, it was necessary to reduce the transmission of the disease as much as possible. The highest risk of transmission is airway management. Medical personnel responsible for airway management are at the greatest risk. One of the most important ways to protect anesthetists from contamination is to use PPE. But, it should be considered that there is some disadvantage about using PPE. The investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of the use of personal protective equipment and standard uniform during airway management.
In this study, we aimed to compare ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block and dorsal penile block on postoperative analgesic effect in hypospadias surgery.
The aim of this study is to compare visual-motor integration, academic achievement and participation in activities of daily living with and without type 1 diabetes.
The aim of this study is to compare the single point stimulation (P6) and double point stimulation (P6+ST36) performed before anesthesia induction with standard treatment in terms of PONV development and postoperative anti-emetic requirement in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
This phase I study is designed as double-blinded, randomised, placebo controlled, three-armed study composed of two different dose arms of protective adjuvanted inactivated vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in dose escalations (first low dose group, followed by high dose group) and placebo arm.
Hemoglobin is an important protein that gives the blood its red color and helps transport oxygen to organs. There are quite a lot of people in the world who need to have their hemoglobin levels checked regularly, especially anemia patients. It is important to keep the hemoglobin levels in the blood of these individuals under control. For this, it is necessary to measure in frequent periods. A large group, from adults to children, needs to take these measurements. Most of these are invasive measurements made with blood that require devices and trained people. These painful methods are quite uncomfortable. In this study, non-invasive hemoglobin level measurement was aimed with a combined DL model created by using nail images with age, height, weight, BMI, and gender information of the volunteers.
The innovations in phacoemulsification surgery and advances in surgical equipment ensure a safe extraction of the crystalline lens and implantation of intraocular lenses (IOL). As a result of developing intraocular lens technologies and changing patient demands, many multifocal, accommodative, toric, toric-multifocal, and extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs have been introduced and the original aim of restoration of far vision with implanted monocular IOLs has been evolved to an objective of improved vision at different distances with total spectacle independence. This study aimed to compare the visual acuity at different distances, contrast sensitivity, spectacle needs, photic phenomena, and quality of life parameters of patients bilaterally implanted with a low add bifocal (Tecnis ZKB00) or an EDOF IOL (Tecnis Symfony), both with planned mini-monovision to improve near vision.
