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.
Lateral epicondylitis (LE) or tennis elbow; is the most common cause of lateral pain in the elbow, with an incidence of 1-3% in the general population. It is thought to develop as a result of overuse inflammation of the wrist joint extensor tendons, originating from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The most common symptom is the pain located in the lateral aspect of the elbow, which can spread across the forearm extensor face and is aggravated by wrist extension, forearm supination, and strong grip movements of the hand. The diagnosis is made by clinical and ultrasonographic evaluations. Significant correlations were found between clinical symptoms of LE and increased joint extensor tendon thickness, focal hypoechogenicity, intratendinous calcification, bone abnormality, and diffuse heterogeneity findings that can be monitored by diagnostic ultrasound. Wait-see policy, conservative treatment regimens, local injections, and surgical approaches are the treatment methods that can be used on a patient-based basis until today. Conservative treatment options include physical therapy modalities such as exercise, massage, laser, electrotherapy, therapeutic ultrasound, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, the use of various splints, ice application, activity modification, rest, NSAIDs, and taping methods. The two prominent bracing methods are the lateral epicondylitis band and the wrist extension splint. Although these two methods are frequently used in daily practice, the limitations of studies investigating the effectiveness of orthoses and which orthosis are more effective draw attention. In comparative studies, some factors may affect clinical results such as allowing patients to use NSAIDs when necessary and organizing a home exercise program. Besides, none of them included a control group and the patients were not evaluated by ultrasonography. This study aims to compare the effects of the use of two different splints (lateral epicondylitis band and wrist extension splint) on clinical and ultrasonographic parameters in patients with a diagnosis of lateral epicondylitis.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is an occlusive disease in pulmonary artery.Matrix metalloproteinase enzymes play a substantial role of extracellular matrix remodeling. The clot formed in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension does not melt and turns into a fibrous state, it occludes the pulmonary artery.In this study, investigators aimed to investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinase enzymes in pulmonary arterial wall remodeling in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
In this study, investigators wanted to investigate the effect of volatile anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on ecchymosis, edema, and intraoperative bleeding in rhinoplasty.
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between dietary intake, blood total antioxidant capacity and disease activity in individuals with AS. This study will include patients diagnosed with AS who applied to Ankara City Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital, and a control group that does not have AS. The sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional habits and 1-day physical activity status of individuals with AS and healthy persons will be recorded. Anthropometric measurements of all individuals (such as height length (cm) and body weight) will be taken. From the height and body weight measurements, the individuals body mass indexes will be calculated. All parts of the questionnaire for individuals included in the research will be filled in by the researcher through face-to-face interview technique. The disease activity score of the individuals in the case group will be evaluated by the physician. Serum biochemical parameters will be taken from the patient files. In the patient information system of the control group, above mentioned blood tests will be recorded from the examinations performed in the last 1 month. Serum total antioxidant and oxidant levels will be measured in a private laboratory with a tube (5 ml) of blood from all individuals. The parameters to be examined in blood samples are specific to the study and their cost will be covered by the researchers.
The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the snow globe, which is used as a method of diverting attention, to the perception of pain that develops during the application of vaccines in infants between 2-6 months of age.
While walking, fatigue, sensorimotor function and motor control can affect in many ways. This research focuses on the relationship between foot core muscles with balance and gait parameters. The main purpose of the project is to investigate the effect of the endurance and fatigue responses of the extrinsic and intrinsic foot core muscles and the isolated fatigue response of the tibialis posterior muscle on balance and gait parameters.
In our study, investigators will investigate the effectiveness and complications of two catheter lock solutions one of which is the standard heparin routinely used in comparison to Sodium bicarbonate. Both solutions were used but not compared head to head. Investigators aim to compare both solutions in terms of catheter lumen patency and their effect on catheter-related infections.
As it is evident that Covid-19 may have some impacts on cognition, the primary aim of this study is to investigate -if any- deficits of attention, working memory and executive functions after Covid-19.
As an important non-drug intervention in the treatment of respiratory tract diseases, respiratory rehabilitation training is increasingly accepted in clinical practice. The purpose of pulmonary rehabilitation is not only to improve the physical and mental conditions of the patient, but also to help the patient return to the family and society more quickly. In light of the widely documented lung injuries associated with COVID-19, concerns are raised regarding the assessment of lung injury in discharged patients. As an important non-drug intervention in the treatment of respiratory diseases, respiratory rehabilitation training is increasingly being accepted in clinical practice The purpose of pulmonary rehabilitation is not only to improve the physical and mental conditions of the patient, but also to help the patient return to the family and society more quickly. The aim of the study; It is aimed to evaluate the efficiency of breathing exercise in individuals with COVID-19.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects and side effects of inactive COVID-19 vaccine in patients with cancer and compare them with the healthy control group.
