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.
Aim: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to examine the effect of abdominal massage with ginger and lavender oil on constipation in elderly individuals. Design: The study was completed with 40 elderly individuals in Kayseri nursing home, including 20 in intervention and 20 in control group who met the criteria for inclusion in the study. In the study, written informed volunteer consent was obtained from the individuals with the approval of the ethics committee and the permission of the institution. The elderly individuals in the intervention group underwent aromatherapy massage with ginger and lavender oils for a period of five days and 15 minutes on weekdays for four weeks according to the abdominal massage application protocol. No application was made to individuals in the control group.
Erector spinae plane block(ESPB), which is firstly used for thoracic neuropathic pain, is newly developed and highly promising fascial plane block for providing postoperative analgesia for a great deal of surgeries including breast surgery. The investigators aim to study efficacy of ESPB for patients who undergone breast cancer surgery and is expected to benefit from opioid-sparing effect of this technique.
The goal of this study is to investigate potential relations of ultrasound-based muscle architecture parameters and isometric knee flexor muscle strength (IKFS) in healthy individuals. IKFS was measured for twenty participants (22.15±2.41 y.o; 8 females, 12 males) by a hand-held dynamometer. Investigated parameters were total and individual cross-sectional areas (CSA), Muscle-Thickness (MT), and pennation-angle (PA) for Biceps Femoris-long head (LBF), Semitendinosus (ST) and Semimembranosus (SM) muscles at 25%, 50% and 75% length of the thigh.
Postoperative pain is a common symptom of a flare up after root canal treatments (RCTs). Insufficient instrumentation, extrusion of irrigation solutions and debris and existence of a periapical lesion are the factors affecting postoperative pain after root canal treatments. Aim of this study is to evaluate the postoperative pain and instrumentation time of single-file reciprocating system and multiple-file Ni-Ti rotary system in children ages between 9-12. Study was conducted on fifty first permanent mandibular molars with the diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis. Patients were randomly separated into two groups and RCTs were completed with either Reciproc Blue or Protaper Next file systems. Instrumentation time for each system was noted and patients were given a pain scale which included visual analog scale for 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. Postoperative pain scores and instrumentation times were analyzed statistically with chi square test and student t test. There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative pain between Reciproc Blue and Protaper Next systems at all time intervals. Instrumentation time was significantly shorter in the Reciproc Blue group in comparison with the Protaper Next group. In conclusion, shorter treatment time of single-file reciprocating systems may be more patient friendly and comfortable than multiple-file rotary systems in RCTs among children.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the effects of connective tissue manipulation (CTM) on pain severity, fatigue, sleep quality, general health status, systemic symptoms, anxiety and depression in women with primary dysmenorrhoea and to determine the effect of treatment time on recovery in a longterm period. Our primary outcome was intensity of menstrual pain. Secondary outcomes were intensity of sleep disturbance, fatigue, depression and anxiety status, general health and premenstrual symptoms.
It was aimed to research the effect of teach-back educational method on diabetes knowledge level and clinical parameters in type 2 diabetes patients undergoing insulin therapy. This is a randomized-controlled trial. Teach-back method will used for intervention group, routin diabetes education will used for control group. The primary outcome is diabetes knowledge levels (DKL), and secondary outcome is clinical patameters (fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, blood pressure). DKL and clinical parameters will measured and compared between two groups before and three months after the interventions.
The current study is aimed to determine the procedures applied in the dysphagia clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic period. A questionnaire consisting of 30 questions will be implemented. Each participant will be asked to answer the questions.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label study to provide continued supply of parsaclisib as monotherapy or in combination therapy with itacitinib, ruxolitinib, or ibrutinib to participants from Incyte-sponsored studies of parsaclisib.
It is aimed in this study to examine the changes in brain blood supply and oxygenation in neonatal premature babies who have anemia and who underwent erythrocyte suspension transfusion in the light of original guidelines by means of obtaining measurements with the help of cranial doppler ultrasonography and near-infrared spectroscopy.
