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 was planned to determine the effect of kangaroo care applied by parents of premature newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit on the newborn's vital signs, perceived parenting self-efficacy level and attachment to the baby.
The aim of this randomized-controlled study was to determine the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied simultaneously to exercise on pain, static endurance of cervical deep flexor muscles, fear of movement and disability in chronic neck pain. The participants were randomly assigned to one group which in only five clinical pilates exercises were performed (Group I) or the other group which NMES was applied on lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscles while the same exercises were performing (Group II).

Introduction This study will examine the effects of a 12-week yoga program consisting of one-hour sessions three times a week on blood pressure, sexual life and marital adjustment among hypertensive women. Hypertension can adversely affect vascular health and affect marital relationships by contributing to sexual dysfunction. Method. The study will be a pre-post test randomized controlled study in accordance with CONSORT rules. Personal Information Form, Bloood pressure measurement, Arizona Sexual Experience Scale and Marital Adjustment Test will be used for data collection.
The 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test is a test applicable to the upper extremities. The upper extremity plays an important role in activities of daily living, especially in tasks related to reaching, grasping and holding objects. Various activities of daily living, such as combing hair, brushing teeth and picking up objects, require supported or unsupported upper limb activity. Therefore, evaluation of upper extremity function is important. In addition, it is a simple test, it is also seen as a game, its application is functional, and there is no need for expensive equipment. Its validity and reliability have been demonstrated only for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and healthy adults. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, the suitability of this test in a virtual environment has not been evaluated in the literature. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to examine the applicability of this test in a virtual environment.
Meniscal tears and RAMP lesions are frequently seen together with ACL injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of meniscus repair and RAMP lesion repair ACL reconstruction surgery in terms of muscle strength, proprioception, and balance. In our study, the clinical outcomes of both anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), medial meniscus repair (MR) and RAMP lesion repair (RR) have been compared with those of isolated ACLR.
Obesity is classified using body mass index (BMI) (BMI ≥25 overweight, BMI ≥30 obese, BMI ≥40 morbidly obese). Obese patients are Class 1 according to BMI; BMI:30-34.9 and Class 2; BMI: It is classified as 35-39.9. Patients with classes 1 and 2 will be included in the study. Obesity can be accompanied by comorbidities such as atherosclerotic vascular and cardiac pathologies, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, so obesity treatment should be managed multidisciplinary. The basic approach to obesity treatment is diet, exercise, medical treatment, treatment of comorbid conditions and surgery. Aerobic exercise therapy, which is one of the conservative approaches in the treatment of obesity, also has an important place in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases associated with obesity. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (AKD) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Negative changes in functional capacity, quality of life and psychosocial situations are observed due to disorders associated with this disease. Physical activity is among the modifiable risk factors in atherosclerotic diseases. However, patients have a fear of movement related to angina-like symptoms, with the thought that the symptoms may recur during exercise. Lack of physical activity due to fear of movement leads to obesity, which in turn leads to aggravation of atherosclerosis and an increase in the incidence of cardiovascular events, which negatively affects individual and psychosocial capacity. Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a non-invasive procedure that evaluates the individual's capacity during dynamic exercise and provides diagnostic and prognostic information. CPET is based on the investigation of the respiratory system, cardiovascular system and cellular response to exercise performed under controlled metabolic conditions. It allows holistic evaluation of the response to exercise, including not only the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems but also the musculoskeletal system. Fear of movement or kinesiophobia; It is defined as a state of fear and avoidance of activity and physical movement resulting from the feeling of sensitivity to painful injury and repeated injury.
This is a randomised controlled study.The study was conducted to determine the effect of the constructivist education model given to women on gynecological cancer awareness, health Anxiety and spiritual well-being in women . The study population was composed of women living in Kastamonu. Women will be assigned to control and experimental groups. Women in the control group will receive gynecological education from Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening and Education Centers (KETEM). The other group will receive gynecological cancer education based on the constructivist model.The hypotheses of the study are as follows: H0: The of constructivist learning model -based health education programme does not have an effect on gynecologic cancer awareness, spiritual well-being and health anxiety. H1: The of constructivist learning model -based health education programme have an effect on gynecologic cancer awareness, spiritual well-being and health anxiety.
Disorders caused by stroke may lead to significant limitations, especially in ankle range of motion, and may cause impairments in walking and balance functions. This limitation in ankle range of motion leads to difficulties in weight transfer, stability, and balance. As a result, there is a decrease in walking performance and an increased risk of falls. Various interventions have been used to improve ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion, including gastrosoleus muscle stretching, muscle strengthening training, functional electrical stimulation training, proprioceptive control training, taping, manual therapy, different mobilization techniques, and ankle mobilization with motion (MWM).There are limited studies investigating the immediate effects of MWM and taping on gait and balance in stroke patients. This study was planned to investigate the effect of Mulligan's ankle MWM technique and talus stabilization taping on spatiotemporal gait and balance parameters in stroke patients.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases. Recent studies have highlighted the strong association between type 1 diabetes and sleep health problems. Sleep problems have been reported to include sleep onset, sleep maintenance, frequent nighttime awakenings, and daytime sleepiness. Studies show that children with T1D sleep significantly less than their peers without diabetes, and that this is associated with poorer glycemic control in type 1 diabetes due to impaired glucose metabolism. This study aimed to compare sleep health composite dimensions and chronotype in children and adolescents with and without T1D, and to explore the relationship between sleep and glycemic variability in T1D. The study was designed as a prospective observational case-control study. The estimated sample size is calculated as 168. The sleep health composite dimensions were measured using actigraphy, sleep diaries, and self- or parental reports. Sleep disturbance will be assessed using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5) Level 2-Sleep Disturbance Scale Short Form, and the Children's Chronotype Questionnaire will be used to determine the chronotype. Sleep/wake patterns were also assessed using sleep diaries. Glycemic variability was assessed using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device parameters.
