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.
Rotator Cuff (RC) injuries are a progressive clinical condition that starts with an acute tendonitis, continues with partial thickness rupture and results in a full thickness rupture in the advanced period. Arthroscopic RC repair is effective in the acute RC ruptures treatment caused by traumatic events. In the acute period after arthroscopic RC repair, shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and shoulder functionality are decreased and daily activities are adversely affected. In the long-term, many studies have reported that these symptoms gradually decreaced. Many studies investigating postoperative treatment of RC rupture have mostly focused on parameters such as postoperative pain, functionality, muscle strength, ROM and quality of life.Evaluation of these clinical parameters is necessary for patient follow-up in the early period. However, it is unclear whether the biomechanical etiologic factors continue that lead to RC rupture in the advanced period after surgery. Therefore, the objective of this study was functional performance of shoulder after arthroscopic Rotator Cuff repair and ınvestigation of performance related factors.
Deep gluteal syndrome describes the presence of pain in the buttock caused from non-discogenic and extrapelvic entrapment of the sciatic nerve. The Graston Technique (GT) is a kind of manual therapy technique known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilization. Instruments help to perform massage/scraping of the skin and miyofascia gently. The aim of this study is to investigate additive effect of GT applied to the lateral and posterior fascia to the exercise program in patients with deep gluteal syndrome on pain and disability.
Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a neurological disease that affects polio survivors at least 15 years after the initial polio infection. PPS is characterized by new neurological deficiencies after a period of neurological stability, especially at least 1 decade after the initial infection. PPS may manifest as new, persistent, and progressive muscle weakness, atrophy, limb fatigability, myalgia, arthralgia, and dysphagia, but also as generalized fatigue, which typically has a considerable impact on the patients' quality of life. Whole body vibration (WBV) has become a popular form of exercise therapy especially among elderly individuals, in past decades. This training method is performed by standing on a vibrating platform which is supposed to activate muscle contractions. WBV has been studied in neurologic populations with stroke, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, incomplete spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis.Our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of whole-body vibration (WBV) exercises performed with home exercise program and patient education in patients with postpolio syndrome (PPS) on muscle strength, fatigue, quality of life and laboratory parameters by comparing them with home exercise program and patient education alone.
The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia in stroke patients; to determine the relationship between sarcopenia and duration of stroke, age, gender, etiology of stroke, ambulation status, spasticity, nutrition and malnutrition
Introduction: Vanadium important pollutants produced from anthropogenic activities, has been suggested to be embryotoxic and fetotoxic in a lot of studies. Magnesium sulfate therapy is used very common to prevent seizures in women with preeclampsia. However, the causes of preeclampsia are little known and heavy metals merit further investigation. The investigators will be tested whether late - onset preeclampsia (LOPE) was associated with exposure to these metals. Methods: This study was designed to determine maternal plasma/urine/hair magnesium and vanadium concentrations in women with LOPE (n=70) compared to those of normotensive pregnant women (n=70) and to those of normotensive-healthy non-pregnant women (n=70). These metals concentrations will be measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry were compared.
This study evaluates effects of PRP and physiotherapy on pain, physical function and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Stump safety is provided by different methods in laparoscopic appendectomy. Stapler use, binding with endoloop and nonabsorbable clip are the most common methods. Although the stapler is safe, it creates a significant cost increase. In connecting with the endoloop, the learning curve and surgical time are longer. Nonabsorbable clip application which has been used recently; Urethra was also used in appendectomy after its safety has been proven by large studies to close cystic ducts and vascular structures. Its advantages such as low cost, no need for a learning curve and shortening the surgical time have increased the frequency of use.In this prospective observational study; It will be aimed to investigate the effects of stump closure methods applied in laparoscopic appendectomy on short-term clinical results. In addition, the factors that determine the surgeon's stump closure method and cost results will be tried to be determined.
A single dose of Reference product containing 200 mg lopinavir and 50 mg ritonavir fixed dose combination and a single dose of Test product containing 200 mg lopinavir and 50 mg ritonavir fixed dose combination or vice versa; administered with 240 mL of water at room temperature, in each period under fasting conditions.
The Aphasia Rapid Test (ART) is a bedside aphasia screening test developed originally in French. The purpose of this study is to assess the inter-rater reliability of the Turkish version of the ART in stroke patients.
It was aimed to demonstrate whether erectile dysfunction is affected by BH pathogenesis and whether there is a relationship between erectile dysfunction and BD pathogenesis by assessing both sexual function and retinal micro-vascular blood flow in BH which may involve vessels from all calibrations and nature.
