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.
Introduction: Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is a well-established technique with a history spanning over a century, primarily used to manipulate the vestibular system. Recent interest has surged in its potential for understanding human vestibular function and aiding in functional recovery. GVS applies electrical currents to the mastoid region, modulating vestibular afferents, and induces specific effects based on the participant's posture and current polarity. While GVS's impact on the central nervous system and its potential to aid in functional recovery have been studied, its immediate effects on vestibular reflexes remain less explored. Methods: In this study, thirty healthy adult participants underwent ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) tests, as well as the velocity Head Impulse Test (vHIT) before and immediately after one hour of GVS application. Statistical analyses were performed to assess changes in VEMP and vHIT results.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of an exercise-oriented training on physical activity level and exercise awareness in overweight and obese women. Participants will randomized into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) and followed-up for three months. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) will be applied to both groups at the beginning and end of the study to determine the level of physical activity, and the Exercise Health Belief Model Scale (EHBM) will be applied to evaluate the exercise awareness level, and anthropometric measurements (weight, body mass index, waist circumference) will recorded. The CG will receive no other interventions other than routine recommendations. The IG will be given face-to-face training to increase exercise awareness along with routine recommendations after the first meeting, and they will be contacted by phone every two weeks for three months.
The present study was conducted to determine the effects of online video-assisted breastfeeding education on breastfeeding self-efficacy in primiparous pregnant women.
Aim: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a systemic disease of connective tissue, it can also contribute to sarcopenia and chronic musculoskeletal pain with common pathways. 1. First aim of this study was to investigate whether the rate of sarcopenia is higher in patients with PEX 2. Second aim was to investigate the association between PEX, sarcopenia parameters and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Methods: A total of 96-patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: PEX-positive (n=48) and PEX-negative (n=48) patients. The variables: the demographic data, sarcopenia parameters (SARC-F-questionnaire, hand-grip strength, chair-rise test, gait speed) and pain parameters (having any chronic musculoskeletal pain, pain regions and visual analogue scale-pain).
This retrospective, observational, cohort study evaluates the treatment management, long-term outcomes and survival analyses in patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of Post-Intubation Tracheal Stenosis (PITS) between 1st June 2016 and 1st June 2022. The study emphasizes the role of bronchoscopic interventions in treatment management and the effective and efficient use of health services.
This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of swaddling and inhaling mother's breast milk odour on the pain and comfort during the placement of peripheral intravenous catheter in term infants.The population of the study consisted of term infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit of Karadeniz Ereğli State Hospital between 1st October 2020 and 1st October 2021. According to the G-Power analysis, the sample size was calculated as 120 and term infants were equally assigned to three experimental groups and a control group, each of which consisted of 30 infants. During the placement of peripheral intravenous catheter, the infants in the 1st experimental group were swaddled, the infants in the 2ndexperimentalgroup were made to inhale the mother's breast milk odour, the infants in the 3rd experimental group were both swaddled and made to inhale the mother's breast milk odour and no procedure was applied to the infants in the control group. The pain and comfort levels of infants in the experimental and control groups were assessed before, during and after the placement of peripheral intravenous catheter. "Infant Descriptive Information Form", "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)" and "Neonatal Comfort Behaviour Scale (NCBS) were used to collect data.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of submucosal 8 mg (2 mL) dexamethasone on postoperative pain, swelling, chewing efficiency, trismus, healing, and discomfort after periodontal flap surgery
Background: To compare the efficacy of tonsillectomy and expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (ESP) in the surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: Patients with Friedman grade III-IV tonsil hypertrophy and OSA diagnosed with polysomnography were separated into two groups according to the surgery performed, as the classic tonsillectomy group (Group 1) and the ESP group (Group 2). The primary endpoint of the study was to determine the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) value. The preoperative and postoperative AHI scores and the decreases in these scores were noted. The change in AHI was calculated as a percentage (preoperative AHI - postoperative AHI/ preoperative AHI x 100) and the two groups were compared. An AHI value of <10 events/hour was accepted as cure.
The Effect of Breastfeeding Education Given to Family Members Who Support the Mother in the Postpartum Period on Breastfeeding Parameters. Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Graduate Education Institute, Midwifery Department. Doctoral Thesis. Istanbul. I To examine the effect of breastfeeding education given to family members in the postpartum period on breastfeeding parameters. It was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of breastfeeding education given to the family member who supports the mother in the postpartum period on breastfeeding parameters
The study included 120 male patients who would undergo a prostate biopsy. Patients were divided into 3 groups as placebo group (n = 40), Levander group (N = 40), and Frankincense group (n = 40). Aromatherapy agents were added to the nebulizer at a rate of 2%. Only saline solution was applied to the placebo group. The nebulizer was prepared and operated in the room where the prostate biopsy would be performed before the procedure. Patients were taken to the room 5 minutes before the procedure and the nebulizer was operated during the procedure. The level of anxiety was evaluated by the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I). After the procedure, the patient was rested and were again filled out the STAI-1 form. After that, the data of all the patients involved in the study was compared.
