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.
Objective: This research was conducted as a randomized controlled, double-blind experimental study to determine the effect of topical lidocaine and benzocaine on patient's pain and injection satisfaction before peripheral intravenous catheter application. Study Design: The study was completed with 120 individuals who were treated in the green area of a University Hospital Emergency Service and met the inclusion criteria of the study. In collecting research data; Case Report Form (ORF), Baseline Algometer (66 Lb / 30 Kg) and Informed Consent Form were used. Lidocaine Spray, Benzocaine Spray and Alcohol were used in research groups.
INTRODUCTION Non-specific chronic neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders today. Factors related to neck pain are diverse and can affect the person in different ways. In order to determine the appropriate physical therapy and rehabilitation program for patients, the functional status of the patients should be evaluated carefully and the factors affecting this situation and the relationships between them should be taken into account. Parameters such as pain, balance, disability, muscular performance are associated with neck pain. The aim of our study is to examine the relationship between pain and kinesophobia and muscle performance, balance and dual task in individuals with nonspecific chronic neck pain and to compare them with asymptomatic individuals. Materials and Methods: The study included 44 individuals aged 18-65 who applied to Kırıkkale University Faculty of Medicine Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic and were diagnosed with non-specific chronic neck pain by a specialist, and 44 asymptomatic individuals between the ages of 18-65 who did not experience neck pain for the last 1 year for the control group. will be. A total of 88 individuals will be included. We will evaluate kinesiophobia, pain density, muscles performance, dual task etc. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION: Data acquired at the end of this study will be compared by using appropriate statistical methods and then it will be discussed in comparison with national and international literature.
In this study; we evaluated the heart rate variability parameters of pediatric patients whose VSDs were closed with the transcatheter method before and after, and compared with the control group.
The effectiveness study for Culturally Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Intervention will be conducted with university students to measure if this intervention if effective for decreasing the university students' psychological distress and increase their well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Potential participants will be given an informed consent and included in a screening procedure to decide their eligibility. 100 participants (50 in experimental and 50 in control group-randomly assigned) who pass the screening procedure will be invited to the effectiveness study. The experimental group will receive an 8-session intervention while the control group will receive information about the freely available psychological support options. The measurements will be conducted three times; one week before, one week after and five weeks after the intervention.
Aims and Objectives: This study was conducted in order to determine the factors that affected the early mobilization after surgery of patients who had undergone knee and hip arthroplasty. Background: Early mobilization in knee and hip arthroplasty is still not at the desired level, and it is among the most frequently overlooked nursing practices. Desing: This study is descriptive and cross-sectional. STROBE checlist was used to compile the study's report. Methods: The universe of the study consisted of a total of 80 patients who were hospitalized between 07 November 2017 and 21 September 2018 in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic of a State Hospital to undergo knee or hip arthroplasty, and who met the inclusion criteria. The sample of the study consisted of 60 patients who were in the universe of the study, who met the inclusion criteria and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study.
The purpose of this study was to investigate adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Quality of Life (PSS-QoL) Questionnaire
The study aim of the project is to investigate the differences in respiratory functions, orofacial muscle tone changes, anxiety/depression, and quality of life of the patients according to the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. At the same time, to examine the reliability of the use of the MyotonPro evaluation method, which takes place rapidly in the literature and clinic, in the orofacial pharyngeal muscle group.
The aim of this experimental study is to evaluate the effect of nurse navigation in the management of symptoms associated with head and neck radiotherapy. All head and neck cancer patients who meet the study criteria of the Radiation Oncology Clinic of Selçuk University Medical Faculty Hospital will be included in the study. According to the previously prepared randomization list, the study group consisted of a total of 88 people, 41 in the experimental group and 47 in the control group. While the standard treatment approaches of the hospital are applied to all patients, a nursing navigation program will be applied in addition to the patients in the experimental group.Quality of life and toxicity criteria will be applied to all patients as measurement tools.
With this study, it was aimed to compare the block characteristics evaluated with traditional methods in infraclavicular and costoclavicular block applications performed in upper extremity surgery in our clinic with the perfusion index
It has been reported that better local control is achieved and sphincters are preserved at a higher rate with curative resections performed after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancers. In addition, it has been reported that local recurrence is reduced and survival is prolonged in patients with complete pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy. Therefore, the importance of predicting patients with pathological complete response has increased. It has been reported that data obtained from PET-CT scans and clinical information such as tumor size, T stage, and N stage may be useful in predicting the response to neoadjuvant therapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Consideration of blood biomarkers in predicting neoadjuvant response can be a very attractive option. Because samples are easily collected, relatively inexpensive to measure, and contain information about different aspects of tumor biology. There are a limited number of blood biomarkers such as CEA and IL-6 that have been studied in the literature. Experimental studies show that vitamin D suppresses inflammation and protects against cancer by triggering differentiation. In 1980, Cedric and Frank Garland stated for the first time that vitamin D may affect the survival of the patient after the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. In later studies, a positive relationship was reported between the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D - 25 (OH) D and survival rates for colorectal cancer, breast and prostate cancer. In addition, 25 (OH) D serum concentration has been shown to be inversely related to colorectal cancer progression. In the light of all these information, the role of serum vitamin D levels before neoadjuvant treatment in predicting pathological response in patients with rectal cancer is investigated in this study.
