Filter by:Patients will be recruited from the Outpatient Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Kestel State Hospital, who have been diagnosed with mechanical LBP for the past 3 weeks (physical examination, neurological examination, spinal radiography and laboratory tests and other causes of LBP were excluded) and who have agreed to participate in the study. Sociodemographic data of patients who gave written informed consent will be recorded to ensure anonymity. Although no consensus has been reached on the cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaires into different languages, this study will use the guidelines for self-report measurement provided by Beaton et al. Following the formation of the expert committee, the scale will be translated and the pre-form back-translated. Comparisons will be made with the translated versions and the final version of the scale will be created by taking into account the opinions of the preliminary group of participants. The reliability, test-retest reliability, face validity and content validity of the scale will be assessed by the expert committee. In order to assess the concurrent validity of this scale, all participants will also complete the 'Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire' and the 'Quebec Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire', which have been previously validated and reliable in Turkish. The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire consists of 10 items that assess activities of daily living. These are pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, social life, travelling and degree of change in pain. Each item has 6 options ranging from 0 to 5 points (12). The Quebec Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire consists of 20 items assessing activities of daily living. Each item has 6 options ranging from 0-5 points. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability and the Turkish version of the Low Back Activity Confidence Scale (Lobacs).
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the median nerve that usually cause numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers. While definitive diagnosis is made with nerve conduction studies, the patient's history and physical examination findings lead the clinician to the diagnosis of CTS. Using factor analysis and item response theory methodology, Atroshi et al. developed a short 6-item version of the symptom severity scale to ease respondent burden while maintaining the psychometric properties of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire. It has been demonstrated that the 6-item CTS Symptom Scale has good reliability, validity and responsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the Turkish version of the 6-item CTS symptoms scale for CTS.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of intranasal-administered Chlorpheniramine Maleate in COVID-19-positive participants as part of early treatment for COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the efficacy of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (0.4%) for improving clinical recovery in COVID-19 patients. - To assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (0.4%) as an adjunct to the standard of care in reducing hospitalizations and improving clinical recovery in adult patients with mild COVID-19.
Through a cross-sectional questionnaire survey, a general information questionnaire and Dialysis Frequency, Severity, and Symptom Burden Index were used to investigate the frequency, severity, and degree of symptom distress in MHD patients, and to analyze the differences in symptom distress status between long and short dialysis age MHD patients. Using the R 4.2.2 software qgraph package, construct symptom networks for MHD patients of long and short dialysis age through network analysis. Analyze network centrality indicators, including intensity, closeness centrality, and mediation centrality, to identify core symptoms and compare if there are any differences between the two groups, aiming to lay the foundation for precise and efficient phased symptom management.
Psychiatric diagnostics involve collecting information about a patient's symptoms, age of onset, development over time, relation to external stress, and ability to function and experience suffering. This information is classified using ICD (World Health Organisation) and DSM (American diagnosis system). Currently, there is a lack of a scientifically evaluated system to support these diagnostics. This project seeks to develop and evaluate a set of self-assessment scales which collect and classify relevant data and serve as support for clinicians. These scales are made up of questions about typical psychiatric symptoms, which are assessed and evaluated using a statistical method (Item Response Theory). After testing and evaluation, a scale could consist of approximately 10 items or less. The scales are then tested together to see if the number of items and scales can be reduced further.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of warm water foot baths on comfort, fatigue, and dialysis symptoms in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. Data were collected with a total of 58 patients,31 in the intervention group and 27 in the placebo group. The data in the study is collected using the intervention and control group informed volunteer Form, Patient Demonstration Form, foot Bath Application Monitoring Chart, fatigue VAS Scale Form, dialysis Symptom Index, and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in children aged 6-18 years, after the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the COVID symptoms or Long COVID symptoms to impact their daily activities. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of long-lasting symptoms, the duration and intensity of symptoms, quality of life, number of sick days or absences from school, and psychological and social outcomes. The participants will be asked to fill in Long COVID symptom burden questionnaires who had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 as self-reported PRC test or antigen test positive.
Hypothyroidism refers to the common pathological condition of thyroid hormone deficiency. The annual incidence of hypothyroidism is 3.5 per 1000 in women and 0.6 in per 1000 men. Hypothyroidism is seen 5-8 times more frequently in women than in men. Patients with hypothyroidism have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and often have metabolic syndrome features such as hypertension, increased waist circumference, and dyslipidemia. Other signs and symptoms include bradycardia, slow speech, swelling in the eyes and face, weight gain, decreased sweating, hair loss, pallor, forgetfulness, decreased concentration, depression, irritability, tongue growth, loss of appetite, palpitations, decreased hearing, menstrual irregularities, muscle pains, and cramps. Depending on all these signs and symptoms, hypothyroidism can negatively affect the quality of life of individuals. Therefore, it is essential to reduce symptoms and to improve patients' abilities to manage them. It is stated that the appropriate use of mobile health applications helps the patient to make informed decisions about health management and treatment. Therefore, this study plans to investigate the effect of mobile technology on symptom management in individuals with hypothyroidism, whose symptoms range from mild to severe.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Reiki on symptom control and quality of life in breast cancer patients.
The aim of this study is to analyze a population with symptoms associated with adverse reactions to foodstuffs (ARFS). To determine the levels of food-specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody reactions (AbR).
