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 pre-post-test randomized controlled (parallel group) experimental design study aimed to determine the effect of education based on health belief model and health literacy level of patients with type 2 diabetes on disease management. Study was carried out in Isparta Davraz Family Health Centre between June 17, 2019 and March 02, 2020. Sample consisted of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes, selected by simple randomization method, including 60 patients for the intervention group and 60 patients for the control group. Patients in intervention and control were also sub-grouped according to their health literacy level. The intervention group was given training based on the health belief model with groups of 10-12-13 people every week for 6 weeks in the Family Health Center, followed by telephone counseling in the following 6 weeks and follow-up for 12 weeks. Patients in the control group were assessed at the first interview and the last interview, received routine health care, and no intervention was performed during the research. "Patient Data Form", "Health Literacy Scale Among Diabetes Patients", "Health Belief Model Scale in Diabetes Patients" and "Type 2 Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale" used for data collection. Data were collected both on the first day of the study and in the 24th week.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is the radiological evaluation of the uterine cavity and tubules by giving radiopaque material from the cervical canal to the uterine cavity. HSG is an invasive procedure and is often described by women as "uncomfortable, anxiety-inducing and painful", which indicates impaired comfort .Physical, emotional, sociocultural and environmental factors contribute to the formation of this condition. Comfort Theory is a nursing model that makes it easier for the caregivers to see their problems more systematically and to plan more easily. In the literature review, no studies have been found to determine the effect of Nursing Care Based on Kolcaba's Comfort Theory in Reducing Pain and Comfort on Women Undergoing Hysterosalpingography. It was aimed to determine the effect of Nursing Care Based on Kolcaba Comfort Theory on Pain and Comfort Level in Women Undergoing Hysterosalpingography Procedure. Method. The universe of the research will form women applying for hysterosalpingography procedure in Turkey's northern province of the Health Research and Application Center between. The sample size to be taken from the universe was determined by power analysis based on the reference values of a similar study in the literature. According to the Power analysis, it was decided to include a total of 126 women, including 42 women, in each group (Control group, Intervention 1: Mobile-assisted education and counseling group, Intervention 2: Virtual reality glasses group). In this study, standard nursing care will be applied to the control group, and nursing care based on Kolcaba's Comfort Theory will be applied to the intervention groups.The data will be collected with the Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ)
Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a dysfunction caused by an impingement of the rotator cuff tendon between the head of the humerus and the acromion as a result of changes in the subacromial space. The patients' symptoms, such as pain, limited joint mobility and reduced strength, may lead to a diagnosis of SIS. The conservative treatment of individuals with SIS is includes analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroid injections and physiotherapy. Ultrasound therapy is one of the common physiotherapy applications for SIS, but its effectiveness is controversial. Phonophoresis is a combination of ultrasound therapy and medical therapy. In phonophoresis, a medicine in gel form is used as a transmitter with ultrasound instead of the aquatic conductor gel. It was hypothesized that ultrasound waves favoring the penetration of an anti-inflammatory drug would lead to an improved response to the treatment of SIS. However, the effectiveness of ultrasound modes (pulsed or continuous) can be used in phonophoresis is debatable. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ultrasound therapy, pulsed mode ultrasound and continuous mode ultrasound phonophoresis in patients with SIS.
In the investigators' prospective randomized study, the investigator will investigate the effect of different bandage types on functional and radiological results of proximal humerus fractures over 18 years of age, for whom conservative treatment is decided. In recent studies, it has been shown that surgical treatment in proximal humerus fractures has a high complication rate and is also not superior to conservative treatments in terms of functional results. Therefore, the importance of conservative treatment is increasing day by day in this group of fractures, especially in elderly patients with high risk for surgery. In these studies in the literature, the method in conservative treatment is not clearly specified, and the investigator will apply 3 different bandages to adjust the rotation of the shoulder in 3 different ways during the investigators' conservative treatment. The investigator will compare functional and radiological results between these groups.
Effective postoperative pain control after arthroscopic shoulder surgery optimizes postoperative rehabilitation, reduces anxiety, and can increase patient satisfaction and postoperative healing by providing amnesia and sedation. Few literature is available for postoperative pain management, including intra-articular local anesthetic infiltration, regional nerve blocks, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with intravenous opioid, and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and gabapentinoid drugs. Recently, gabapentinoides such as pregabalin have also shown to have potential in the treatment of acute postoperative pain as part of multimodal analgesia, due to their possible opioid consumption-reducing effects and prevention of post-surgical chronic pain. Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant drug that reduces calcium entry into the nerve terminals of the central nerve and also reduces levels of substance P, glutamate and noradrenaline, all of which play a major role in creating a feeling of pain. It is well known that pregabalin reduces central sensitization and hyperalgesia after tissue injury by inhibiting calcium influx in voltage-gated calcium channels. These theoretical advantages have led to clinical trials to confirm the analgesic effectiveness of oral pregabalin for postoperative pain management in various surgical procedures.
Scleroderma, also called systemic sclerosis (SSc); It is a heterogeneous multiorgan disease of unknown etiology characterized by vasculopathy, autoimmunity and fibrous tissue. It is stated in studies that cardiac and pulmonary systems are affected in patients with SSc and these effects affect the aerobic capacity, physical functions and quality of life of patients negatively by disrupting their pulmonary and musculoskeletal functions. However, considering the treatment approaches in scleroderma patients, the number of studies evaluating the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation and exercises is limited. Therefore, the purpose of our study; Comparison of the effects of a supervised exercise program and a home exercise program in patients with Systemic Sclerosis.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of applying vibration on pain during heel lance procedures in newborns. .
Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study to investigate the efficacy and safety of odevixibat compared to placebo in Patients with Alagille Syndrome.
