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 aimed to translate the Ankle Instability Instrument into Turkish language, to perform a cultural adaptation study and to evaluate its validity and reliability in the Turkish population. Ankle Instability Instrument was developed to determine the ankle instability level of individuals with a history of ankle injury. Assessment of ankle instability is particularly useful in determining the complaints and functional levels of individuals with a history of functional or chronic ankle instability. It is anticipated that introducing this scale to our language will contribute to other studies in this field.
The aim of present study was to evaluate how the 2018 classification reflects the severity, extent and progression of the disease, taking into account the risk factors for periodontal disease, smoking and diabetes, when compared with the 1999 classification.
This study conducted an experimental study with a randomized control group to decide on the quality of life and physical activity of the Wellness education for fifth grade students during the Covid-19 pandemic process.
To evaluate the clinical performance of the restorations by applying the universal adhesive in different modes under the influence of different surface treatments, with Erbium Chromium:Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser and acid etching in non-carious cervical lesions.
Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) has increased in recent years. There are concerns that PPIs have possible negative effects on bone metabolism. It has been suggested that PPIs may reduce the absorption of calcium from the small intestine and lead to bone resorption by affecting osteoclastic activity. In this study, it is planned to investigate the effects of lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on bone turnover markers in pediatric patients with gastroesophageal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease.
30 patients with chronic cervical myofascial pain (4 males, 26 females) aged between 25 to 57 years (with average age 41,20±10,23 years) were included the study. Participants were divided into two groups as intervention group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Patients in intervention group received radial shock-wave application one times a week for six weeks and home based stretching exercises. Patients in control group (CG) received home based stretching exercises. Rest and activity pain (Visual Analog Scale), pressure pain threshold (PPT), cervical range of motion (CROM) and disability (Neck Disability Index) were assessed at baseline and after the treatment.
Our aim is to investigate the effect of minimal flow anesthesia with sevoflurane on hemodynamics and arterial blood gas parameters in laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations.
There are studies in the literature that include parent training for the prevention and care of mucositis. Many national and international organizations have emphasized the responsibility of the nurse in patient education and stated it in the relevant laws and regulations. The regulations focus on the educative role of the nurse for patients. In pediatric oncology clinics where leukaemia treatment and care is provided, the educational role of the nurse is directed towards the child individual and their family, and determining and meeting the educational needs of the whole family is vital in the nursing management of the child with cancer. In this context, this study aims to examine the effect of mucositis care training to caregivers of pediatric patients aged 2 to 18 years, on the development of mucositis and the clinic's "mucosal barrier damage, laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infections".
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, autoimmune, systemic inflammatory disease with a prevalence of approximately 1%. With a lifetime development rate of 3.6%, rheumatoid arthritis is seen 1.7% more in women than in men. Although there are no diagnostic criteria for rheumatoid arthritis, ACR / EULAR 2010 classification criteria are frequently used in diagnosis. Symptom duration, number of swollen joints, acute phase reactants and serology are used in these criteria. Fibromyalgia syndrome is characterized by chronic widespread pain, fatigue, exercise disorders and cognitive impairment. Although the prevalence of fibromyalgia syndrome in the general population is between 2-4%, it is one of the most common conditions encountered by rheumatologists. A treat to target strategy is recommended in rheumatoid arthritis disease management. This approach suggests close monitoring of disease activity and treatment change in cases where the goal is not achieved. The prevalence of fibromyalgia in rheumatoid arthritis patients was found to be 5-52% in meta-analyzes due to the heterogeneity of fibromyalgia criteria used in studies. This study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of secondary fibromyalgia syndrome, which is frequently found in rheumatoid arthritis and characterized by symptoms such as fatigue and widespread pain, on rheumatoid arthritis disease activation and patients' quality of life.
This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Compliance of Parents of Children with Cerebral Palsy to Home Program Assesment Questionnaire (CPHP-Q), a caregiver-report for adherence and frequency of home program implementation of parents of children with Cerebral Palsy.
