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.
This study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of external oblique intercostal plane block, a new block method, in the treatment of postoperative pain occurring after laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations, which are frequently and widely performed today. It aims to add new applications to multimodal analgesia methods, which provide the greatest contribution to the early recovery process after surgery, and to contribute to the early recovery process by increasing patient satisfaction.
The aim of this observational study is to investigate relationship between cervical, thoracic, lumbar and thoracolumbar spine posture, spine movement, isometric and eccentric shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesis and core muscle endurance in healthy competitive young swimmers in comparison with healthy recreational swimmers. The main question is whether spine posture affects spine movement, shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesia and core endurance. Participants will asked to complete a warm up period, after that spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core endurance will be assessed by examiner. Researchers will compare competitive swimmer group and recreational swimmer group. Additionally correlation between spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core muscle endurance will be investigated in competitive swimmer group. Aim of the study is to determine whether posture have any effect upon these parameters.
It was aimed to evaluate the changes in the levels of Periostin, IL-17A and IL-17E cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontitis patients which non-surgical (Phase I) periodontal treatment applied to and their interactions with smoking. The study included systemic healthy smokers(SP)(n:11) and non-smokers(P)(n:11) with periodontitis, smokers (SS)(n:11) and non-smokers(S)(n:11) with periodontal healthy individuals Phase I periodontal treatment was applied to the groups with periodontitis. Before treatment (day 0), clinical measurements evaluating periodontal status were recorded and GCF samples were collected. GCF samples were collected from the same tooth regions on the 15th and 30th days after treatment and clinical measurements were repeated. GCF Periostin, IL-17A and IL-17E levels were determined by ELISA method. All data were evaluated statistically.
This study was conducted to determine the effects of hypnobirthing training and oxytocin massage on birth and postpartum period in primiparous pregnant women.
Low back pain affects 60 to 90% of the total population. It is one of the most common causes of disability in adults. Low back pain can be originated from a wide variety of structures, and the facet joint is one of these structures. It is thought that 21 to 41% of low back pain originates from the facet joint. A wide variety of conservative treatments, including intra-articular injections, are used to treat low back pain originating from the facet joint. However, there is still no consensus on the most effective treatment method. With appropriate patient selection, facet joint injections can provide significant improvements in patients' pain scores. After Goldthwait defined the facet joint concept in 1911, Ghormley defined facet joint syndrome in 1933. The source of pain in 40-50% of patients is the lumbar facet joints. Innervation of the lumbar facet joints is provided by the medial branches of the dorsal roots of the spinal nerves. In 1975, Shealy described the coagulation of the articular nerve support of the spinal facet joints with the radiofrequency method. These methods have been further developed over time. The results of facet joint injections are satisfactory in well-selected patient groups. It has been shown that intra-articular steroid injection to the facet joint is superior to systemic steroid use in patients with low back pain. In this study, it was aimed to methodically compare the facet joint injections applied to patients diagnosed with facet syndrome in the outpatient clinic of the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital in terms of patient pain scores, application time, effort spent and patient anxiety. Intra-articular injections will be performed under by fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance or anatomic location.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the clinical success of theracal pt, therabase, and biodentine indirect pulp capping on primary molars with deep dentin caries. Indirect pulp capping was used on the primary molars of the participants with deep dentin caries. It is aimed to compare the success of biodentine, which is considered the gold standard used in capping treatments, and the currently marketed Teracal PT and Therabase materials after 1, 6 months and 1 year, with biodentine and with each other, and find out which material is more successful.
The aim of this study was to compare the postpartum recovery of pregnant women who had vaginal delivery with and without neuraxial labor analgesia using the ObsQoR-10 scoring system.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of using hydrocolloid tapes in preventing pressure injuries on the nose and columella regions caused by non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) in preterm infants.
In our study, the effect of the frequency of position changes on hyperbilirubinemia in babies hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and receiving phototherapy treatment will be investigated. This study was planned as a single-center randomized controlled clinical trial to examine the effect of the frequency of position changes on the time it takes for hyperbilirubinemia to subside in babies receiving phototherapy treatment in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Mersin City Training and Research Hospital. Babies included in the study will be randomly divided into two groups by randomization method. While the babies in the study group will be subjected to position changes (supine, prone, lateral) every 2 hours, the same procedure will be applied to the control group every 6 hours. All newborns included in the study were treated with the Unitest (Blue angel) LED Phototherapy device, which is used as standard in the neonatal intensive care unit, at a distance of 25-40 cm, at a wavelength of 425-475 nm, at 45 watts, at 50/60 Hz. Phototherapy will be applied unidirectionally. During phototherapy, only the perineal area of the babies will be covered with a reduced diaper, and their eyes will be covered with a three-layer, cotton, black eye patch that transmits 99.5% of ultraviolet rays. During phototherapy sessions, the total serum bilirubin level of the patient is checked; Phototherapy will be continued until it falls below the threshold value in the Bhutani nomogram, which is evaluated according to postnatal days and risk factors. The descriptive characteristics of the babies included in the study and their total bilirubin and hematocrit values before the start of phototherapy will be recorded on the form prepared by the researchers. After phototherapy begins, position changes will be made every two hours for babies in the experimental group and every six hours for babies in the control group until the total serum bilirubin value falls below the phototherapy threshold value in the Bhutani nomogram. Bilirubin levels will be measured and recorded by venous measurement at the sixth hour and the 24th hour, and this process will be continued regularly until the bilirubin value decreases to the normal range. This practice is performed routinely in the clinic and will not be considered specific to the study.
The use of local liquid phenol for pilonidal sinus disease was first introduced by Maurica and Greenwood in 1964. Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, has been proven to be an effective sclerosing agent for treating pilonidal sinus diseas. Its antiseptic and anesthetic qualities make it suitable for application in awake patients under local anesthesia. The treatment of pilonidal sinus diseas in children with crystallized phenol was first published by Ateş et al in 2018. However, the treatment involving only crystallized phenol can require numerous sessions, potentially extending the duration of the treatment. IIn this study, the investigators, investigated whether the application of platelet-rich plasma following crystallized phenol treatment could accelerate the healing process and reach better outcomes. This study evaluates the efficacy of PRP as a treatment modality for pilonidal sinus disease in pediatric patients.
