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.
The quality of recovery scoring tools for the obstetric patient population is limited. In 2019, Ciechanowicz et al. developed and validated a postpartum recovery score; the ObsQoR-11; used following elective and non-elective cesarean delivery. The ObsQoR-11 was modified to the ObsQoR-10 by Sultan et al. and used spontaneous and operative vaginal delivery based on patient feedback. There is currently only a Hebrew version of this recovery score. ObsQoR has not yet been validated for use in Turkish, which is one of the most spoken languages in the World. Therefore the investigators aimed to psychometrically evaluate (assess validity, reliability, and clinical feasibility) the Turkish translated version of the ObsQoR-10 PROM in a Turkish cohort of women.
A randomized control trial was made to determine the effectiveness of structured education and follow-up in the management of perceived milk insufficiency among breastfeeding mothers.
Stroke ranks 3rd among disability-causing diseases worldwide. Following a stroke, loss of lower extremity motor function causes serious gait disturbances. The walking activity is the basis for daily and social engagement activities. Mobility (locomotion) ability; gait analysis can be evaluated with tests and reports examining walking performance. ABILOCO is also a questionnaire developed by Caty et al., evaluating mobility and locomotion in individuals after stroke. The aim of this study is; To investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the ABILOCO questionnaire developed to evaluate mobility in patients with stroke. The sample of the study will be literate individuals who have had a stroke who applied to the Neurology Unit of Ankara Hacettepe University Faculty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Demographic information of the cases will be recorded. ABILOCO questionnaire will be adapted to Turkish. The validity and reliability comparison of the ABILOCO questionnaire with the Berg Balance Scale and Timed Get Up and Go Test will be performed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nemtabrutinib (formerly ARQ 531) in participants with hematologic malignancies of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), Richter's transformation, marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM).
Digital 3D animation and cadaveric videos have been increasingly used in surgical education and provide tremendous opportunity to develop new surgical educational tools, particularly during this Coronavirus-19 pandemic period. This prospective, randomized, blinded study is designed to compare the educational effectiveness of various educational tools including the surgical textbook, animation, and cadaveric videos in laparoscopic rectal surgery among board-certificated surgeons. Initially, an electronic questionnaire assessing the knowledge about laparoscopic rectal surgery will be created and validated by the board-certificated colorectal surgeons. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses will be utilized to test the structure validity of the questionnaire. After the questionnaire will be sent to the graduates completing the general surgery residency program in Turkey, the volunteers will be then randomized into four groups based on the study material including a textbook, 3D animation, cadaveric video, and both 3D animation + cadaveric video. A step-by-step educational 3D animation and a cadaveric video will be prepared in order to teach the technical steps of laparoscopic rectal surgery. Volunteers in four groups were given 2 weeks to review their educational material. After the 2-weeks of the study period, the volunteers will be asked to answers the same electronic questionnaire imported in the edited live laparoscopic rectal surgery. Pre- and post-educational assessment of the questionnaire among the groups will be performed and compared.

This study is an intervention study that investigates the effects of a group-based approach to motivation and occupational self-awareness of individuals with intellectual disability (ID). The intervention method was developed by following the intervention mapping method. An 8 weeks group intervention (twice a week) was applied to individuals with ID which includes; Introduction to intervention and meeting with other group members self-awareness training occupational self-awareness taking responsibility group work and labor division problem identification problem-solving The entire program was structured and guided by the prepared manual (available upon request from the authors). The manual was prepared by the authors of this study to ensure consistency between different sessions and groups. All sessions were diffusively explained in the manual as well as the individual session booklets. The supervisors were able to follow the structure of the sessions from those booklets. Additionally, there were visual materials for each session as in; presentations, graphics, and photographs. The program supervisors (therapists) met once every week to discuss the progress, participation, and overall status of each participant. Homework assignments were utilized to facilitate learning. Families were not included directly in the group sessions, however were informed about the homework assignments. Homework assignments consisted of very basic mental practice and reenactment regarding the session's topic and concepts. Families were also included in the final week's sessions since graduation certificates were handed out during these sessions and also small celebrations were carried out.
To reveal the effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) applied over the thigh on incontinence symptoms, pelvic floor muscle function, bladder function, quality of life and sexual function in women with urge urinary incontinence (UUI) symptoms. Our goal is to contribute to the literature on electrical stimulation (ES) applications used in UUI treatment. Female patients aged 18-65 years with UUI symptoms will be included in the study. Patients will be divided into 2 groups randomly. The first group will be given Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and lifestyle suggestions (LSS) (NMES group). The second group will be given sham NMES in addition to LSS (SHAM ES group). Information about bladder irritants, voiding posture and behavior, weight control and pelvic floor muscle training will be provided in the LSS. ES applications will be performed 3 days a week for 30 minutes per session for 8 weeks. All participants will be evaluated pretreatment, after the 4th week and posttreatment. Pelvic floor muscle function will evulate with the Modified Oxford Scale. In addition, women's bladder function with the urinary diary for 3 days, incontinence symptoms with the International Incontinence Consultation Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the Coital Incontinence Score (CIS), quality of life with the King Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and Sexual Function will be evaluated with Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12). At the end of the 8th week, both the Subjective perception of improvement and treatment satisfaction of the patients will be questioned
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of EDDY and manual dynamic activation (MDA) techniques on postoperative pain (PP) associated in retreatment. Ninety patients scheduled for retreatment were treated at one visit. After the single visit retreatment procedure, the patients were divided into two groups (n = 45) on the basis of the need for additional irrigation activation procedures (EDDY and MDA). The patients' post-treatment pain levels were asked to rate the intensity of their pain on a 10-point numerical rating scale (NRS) at 12th, 24th, 48th, and 72th hours and 7 days.
