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.
Comparison of the effects of sacrospinous fixation and v-notes lateral suspension operations on anatomical recovery, effectiveness and quality of life in a training and research hospital gynecology and obstetrics clinic.
Purpose: It was planned to determine the effect of oral whey given before total hip arthroplasty (THA) on postoperative insulin resistance, cortisol, CRP((C reactive protein), albumin level and healing quality. Design: It was planned as Randomized Controlled. Method: Research: The study is planned to include individuals aged 50-70, who are planned for THA in the orthopedics and traumatology clinic of a public hospital, who have undergone spinal anesthesia, who have BMI <40 and ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists)1,2,3. Individuals with endocrine or renal disorders or allergies to whey will be excluded from the study. It was planned to include at least 60 patients in the study (30 in the intervention group, 30 in the control group). It is planned to use the Patient Introduction Information Form, Physiological Measurements Chart (vital findings (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory SpO2 (pulse oximetry) value), blood glucose, cortisol, CRP and albumin value and insulin resistance) and postoperative recovery quality scale in data collection. The intervention group will be given 600 ml of oral whey 6 hours before the surgery, and the control group will be allowed to drink 600 ml of drinking water 6 hours before the surgery. 3ml of blood will be taken for blood glucose, CRP, cortisol, albumin and insulin resistance values 24 hours before the surgery, just before entering the surgery and 24 hours after the surgery. The first part of the healing quality scale is planned to be evaluated immediately before the surgery, and the second part 24 hours after the surgery. Conclusion: When the literature was scanned, it was seen that the number of studies examining the effect of oral whey on metabolic and endocrine values in orthopedic patients was very limited and academic studies were needed. In this context, examining the effect of whey intake given before THA on the patient's blood glucose, CRP, albumin, cortisol, insulin resistance and healing quality is an original research that will contribute to the field.
Balance and fall problems are one of the most common geriatric syndromes in the elderly. Falls are one of the leading factors causing mortality in the elderly. One-third of individuals aged sixty-five and over fall once or more every year. When the causes of death in elderly individuals are examined; Accidents come in fifth place, and 2/3 of these accidents occur due to falls. The frequency of falls increases with age in 22% of individuals between the ages of 65-69. This rate is stated as 31% between the ages of seventy-five and seventy-nine, and 40% between the ages of 80-84. Geriatric individuals may be at risk of falling in different situations, often inside and outside the home. Falls generally occur more frequently in indoor areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms. In these areas, falls caused by potentially dangerous factors such as slippery floors, carpet edges, and high thresholds are more common. A frequent fall occurs when jumping over an obstacle. Factors such as poor balance, vision problems or reduced muscle strength when overcoming obstacles can increase the risk of falling in this situation. The ability of geriatric individuals to overcome obstacles during daily activities is an important factor determining quality of life. Climbing stairs or crossing high thresholds is an important part of daily living activities and poses a risk of falling. Therefore, determining the stair height threshold and assessing obstacle crossing skills should be considered effective measures. When the literature is examined, clinicians generally prefer simpler functional tests because assessments involving disabilities take a long time to be administered, involve some equipment, and also require training to perform the assessment. In the literature, there is currently a version of the functional tests that is applied only by adding obstacles to the timed get up and go test. Thanks to this test, the ability of geriatric individuals to overcome obstacles can be evaluated and people can be trained with this test. For this reason, we wanted to determine the suitability of the 10-meter walking test, which is frequently used in geriatric individuals, when applied with the addition of an obstacle.
Premature babies who have to deal with life-threatening situations have to spend the first days of their lives in intensive care units. Mothers who plan to return home with their babies during the postpartum period may experience stress due to their children being monitored in intensive care. It is stated that mothers of babies in the neonatal intensive care unit experience stress and anxiety due to reasons such as being separated from their babies, the baby's illness, the baby's sensitive body structure, the baby's appearance and behavior, and the baby's dependence on devices. This stress experienced by mothers of premature babies can prevent mothers from providing enough milk to feed their babies. Mothers whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit cannot have adequate contact with their babies and cannot breastfeed; It causes insomnia, stress and anxiety, and the hormonal axis is disrupted, negatively affecting the amount of breast milk. In order to support the healing process of preterm babies, it is important to increase the amount of milk produced by mothers and increase the rate at which babies can receive breast milk. Music improves endothelial function by dilating the vessels; It has been reported that it reduces mental stress by increasing the release of nitrite oxide and endorphins and causes many physiological reactions such as a decrease in blood pressure and pulse. This study will examine the effect of music played to mothers with premature babies on maternal anxiety and the amount of breast milk.
Calcium hydroxide is generally preferred in endodontics as an intracanal medicament because of its antimicrobial and biological effects. However, the antimicrobial effect of calcium hydroxide is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of calcium silicate-based root canal medicament on the release of RANKL/OPG, TNF-α, PGE-2 and TGF-β1 in root canal treated teeth with periapical lesions.
This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event. The aim is to evaluate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin, given once daily on top of other classes of SoC, on CV death and HF events.
Dystonia is the most common movement disorder in the pediatric population after spasticity. It can affect normal motor development and cause significant motor retardation. The presence of dystonia may affect motor function, pain, and ease of care in CP. Additionally, it can cause serious difficulties in daily living activities and social participation and long-term joint deformity. The increase in the severity of dystonia in CP children with secondary dystonia may affect the quality of life, activity and participation of the children, as well as the caregiver. The importance of caregivers is an undeniable fact, especially in these patient groups. This study aims to investigate the burden of dystonia severity on the participation in daily living activities and caregivers of children with CP with secondary dystonia.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of EFT application on the level of dysmenorrhea and stress perception in women with dysmenorrhea. For this purpose, EFT will be applied to women with dysmenorrhea with high stress perception assigned to the experimental and control groups, and their stress perceptions and dysmenorrhea levels will be re-evaluated after the application. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used in the research.
This study was conducted to examine the effect of two different occupational therapy interventions on premenstrual syndrome symptoms in university students. This study was designed according to the CONSORT statement, which provides a standard method for randomised controlled trial (RCT) design. The study was approved by the Local Ethics Committee. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants before the study.
