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 research questions of this study are; 1. Is platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment effective in knee osteoarthritis (OA)? 2. What are the indications for PRP treatment? 3. Which patients are the most suitable for the PRP treatment method? 4. How does age, Body Mass Index (BMI), lower extremity mechanical axis angle and OA stages affect the success of the PRP treatment? 5. Is there any advantage of multiple PRP doses? 6. What is the therapeutic effect of placebo? This study was designed to find answers of these questions. The hypotheses of this study are; "PRP treatment is more effective than placebo; PRP treatment effectiveness decreases with age and advanced stages of OA; BMI is a factor that negatively affects the treatment effectiveness of the PRP; as the mechanical axis angle of the lower limb increases, it will adversely affect the effectiveness of PRP therapy; multiple dose of PRP affects the effectiveness and duration of PRP as positively compared to single dose of PRP". The primary purpose of this study; to prove the effectiveness of PRP treatment on knee pain and functions in patients with knee OA by comparing it with the placebo control group. Secondary purposes of this study; to understand the effect of age, BMI, OA grade and lower limb mechanical axis angle on PRP effectiveness. This study, designed as a randomized, double-blind and placebo control group, with a high level of scientific evidence. Thus, it will be scientifically possible to find answers to the investigators research questions and to prove the investigators hypothesis.
The aim of this study was to evaluate 24-hour pH monitoring results before and after gastrostomy in neurological impaired (NI) children who underwent gastrostomy or Nissen fundoplication (NF) concurrently with gastrostomy.
Scales application one week before and one week after impacted tooth extraction.
In this study, the investigator aims to measure stress, anxiety, mood, life satisfaction measures among elite athletes during COVID-19 and measure the relationship between these measures and the changes in training characteristics in elite athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that has detrimental effects on connective tissue and other organs. The musculoskeletal system is one of the most affected systems in this group of patients including the temporomandibular joint. The most common symptoms when muscle involvement in SLE are muscle atrophy decreased muscle strength and myopathy. SLE activity and long-term corticosteroid use are thought to be responsible for these symptoms, thus, SLE patients are accepted to be at higher risk for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). Low-level laser therapy(LLLT) is frequently used in the treatment of TMD due to its pain relief and anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, in this study, LLLT has been used to evaluate this treatment modality on the chewing function and pain values of SLE patients with myogenic TMD.
In the literature, temporomandibular joint diseases on the diagnostic value of the use of ultrasonography in diagnosis studies are lacking. In this study in the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint diseases revealing the reliability of the use of ultrasonography. It is aimed to contribute to the literature in terms of.
As long as the people stay at home because of the Covid 19 outbreak, the investigators assume that the sleep quality of OUAS patients, like everyone else, and the sleep quality of COVID-19 outbreak are reduced due to anxiety and anxiety in people. In addition, we assume that sleep quality and physical activity level are related to health literacy level and fear of movement (kinesiophobia). In this study; the investigators aimed to determine how patients are affected by this process by evaluating sleep quality, physical activity, fear of movement and health literacy in OSAS patients during our stay in the COVID-19 outbreak.
In this study, the levels of ischemia modified albumin, biglycan and decorin in the serums of pregnant women hospitalized for preterm labor will be examined. Their serum levels will be compared between women having preterm and term delivery. Their accuracy will be asessed in predicting preterm birth.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) can cause serious limitations in individuals' physical performance, as it involves the musculoskeletal system and can cause ankylosis and arthritis in both axial and peripheral joints. Although there are many studies showing these limitations nowadays, there is a need to show these limitations with more objective data with the new technology. Evaluating aerobic physical capacity; Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (KPET) is frequently used in physical performance analysis today. In this study, the investigators want to observe the physical performance differences between 42 AS patients and 42 control group participants by applying KPET and present the expected performance losses in AS patients in the literature with objective data.
Dismenored that menstruation is painful enough to interfere with the normal activity of the individual and require drug use. Dysmenorrhea is a localized pain in the lower abdominal quadrant and may spread to the back, waist, groin and vulva. This periodic pain may be accompanied by GIS complaints such as nausea, vomiting and frequent defecation, headache, emotional disorders and palpitations. Primary dysmenorrhea manifests itself as painful cramps in the lower part of the abdomen during the menstruation period without a pelvic pathology (endometriosis, pelvic adhesion or uterine fibroids, etc.). Menstrual problems affect 75% of adolescent girls and cause widespread medical treatment. The prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents is significantly high, which is reported to be a major public health problem requiring attention. When Dysmenorrhea prevalence by examining the situation regarding in Turkey is noteworthy that dysmenorrhea prevalence in the 34-% 89.6% range. Non-drug applications are frequently used in the management of primary dysmenorrhea . Often, exercise is seen as an important method among these practices. Often, exercise is seen as an important method among these practices. It has been reported that the effect of regular exercise on dysmenorrhea may be due to the effect of hormonal changes on the epithelial tissue of the uterus or an increase in endorphin levels, and it is concluded that dysmenorrhea reduces symptoms The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercise and quality of life in reducing pain in adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea.
