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.
This study was planned to examine the effects of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program, which is one of the popular concepts of the 21st century, on depression, psychological well-being and prenatal attachment, which are likely to occur as a result of increased stress during an important period that requires adjustment as a result of physical, mental and cognitive changes during pregnancy. It will be conducted in a randomized parallel controlled experimental design type using Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines. It is planned to be carried out with the ZOOM Cloud Meetings program, which is an online education platform, with pregnant women who apply to the Health Sciences University Ümraniye Training and Research Hospital pregnancy polyclinic in the Ümraniye district of Istanbul. The universe of the research will be the pregnant women who applied to the Health Sciences University Ümraniye Training and Research Hospital pregnant outpatient clinic. Primiparous pregnant women who meet the inclusion criteria and willingly agree to participate in the study will be included in the study. 54 people in the intervention group, 54 people in the control group, and a total of 108 people will be taken. While the Conscious Awareness-Based Stress Reduction Program adapted for pregnant women will be applied to the intervention group, routine follow-up will be applied to the control group within the scope of the outpatient clinic follow-up of the relevant institution. Informed Voluntary Consent Form, Descriptive Characteristics Information Form, Psychological Well-Being Scale, Beck Depression Scale, Prenatal Attachment Scale and Conscious Awareness Scale will be administered to the participants included in the study. As a result of the findings, the discussion and results of the study will be written.
The International Continence Society described overactive bladder as urine urgency, frequently accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency incontinence, when there is no evident pathology, such as a urinary tract infection. According to studies in the literature, women who have overactive bladders experience negative effects on their sexual satisfaction and quality of life. According to a study by Juliato et al. (2017), women with more severe urinary symptoms experienced higher degrees of arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and discomfort. According to Chuang et al. (2017) study, women's sexual pleasure and quality of life declined as urinary symptom intensity increased. It is believed that women's quality of life and levels of sexual satisfaction may be positively impacted by the training provided to lessen their symptoms, their follow-up, and their continuity. Additionally, it is anticipated that by encouraging better treatment compliance among women with OAB, hospital expenses will drop, which will benefit the national economy. In order to ascertain the impact of bladder training delivered via mobile application on quality of life and levels of sexual satisfaction in women with overactive bladder, this study was designed. Between February 2023 and June 2024, this randomized controlled experimental design study will be conducted in the urogynecology clinic of a university hospital on Istanbul's Anatolian side. The sample size was determined via G-Power power analysis, and the groups were chosen using basic randomization. There will be 100 women studied, 50 in the study group (WG) and 50 in the control group (KG), all of whom have been diagnosed with overactive bladder. Through the smartphone application, WG women will receive bladder training, as well as follow-up care. Data will be gathered using the Quality of Life Scale, Sexual Satisfaction Scale, Mobile Application Usage Scales (only mobile application group), and Collection Form, Follow-Up Form. In the third and sixth months, new data will be collected on the Quality of Life Scale, Sexual Satisfaction Scale, and Mobile Application Usage Scales (just for the Mobile Application Group). There will be a data analysis.
This study evaluates the efficacy of wet cupping therapy in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.Wet cupping therapy will be applied to half of the patients plus routine pharmaceutical treatment while the other half will receive only pharmaceutics
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of including mothers with newborn babies in surgical intensive care units during the nursing care process on mother's self-confidence and mother-infant attachment.
In recent years, a set of evidence-based recommendations called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is being applied for care of cesarean sections. The effectiveness of ERAS in reducing the length of hospitalization, postoperative complications, the need for analgesics right away after surgery, and the financial cost in the context of cesarean sections has been shown in several studies. There is strong evidence that following ERAS protocols aids postoperative recovery positively. This will be a randomized trial to determine if there is a difference regarding adverse maternal outcomes between ERAS group and standard of care.
Exercise is of great importance in the treatment of hypertension, which is expressed as a very serious disease, the prevalence of which is increasing day by day in the world and can cause many complications that are common in society. Exercise methods effective on carotid intima-media thickness, skeletal muscle architecture, and strength, which are important markers of hypertension-related organ damage, remain unclear. Strengthening exercises draw attention as an important approach in the control of hypertension. In order for strengthening exercises to be effective in the rehabilitation of hypertension, moderate and high-intensity exercises are recommended. New exercise approach strategies are gaining importance in order to enable resistance exercise training and to increase muscle mass and strength in the elderly who have a limitation for the recommended exercise intensity, in patients with hypertension, and in people with various diseases in which the cardiovascular system is affected. Whole body vibration (TVV) applications, which have no side effects reported as the current example of these exercise approaches, attract attention. Many positive effects occur on the cardiovascular system with the short-term and low-effort application of TVV exercise approaches, which are frequently used in routine rehabilitation practices. However, when the literature is examined, the effects of these exercise approaches on carotid intima-media thickness, which is one of the main markers of hypertension-related organ damage, are unclear. In addition, the effects of hypertension on quadriceps muscle architecture, which are expected to be adversely affected as a result of affecting autophagy regulation in skeletal muscle and causing decreased muscle capillarization, remain unclear. In addition, there is insufficient data on the effectiveness of strengthening exercises and TVV exercises on hemodynamic responses and quadriceps muscle strength in hypertensive patients. It will shed light on the determination of the exercise approach that is most effective on the muscle architecture, hemodynamic responses and carotid intima-media thickness of hypertensive patients and that can show these effects without overloading the cardiovascular system.
Tooth extraction is one of the major surgical procedures that can cause dental anxiety and dental fear in pediatric patients as a result of traumatic experiences. Preventing pain and infection by appropriate means during and after this application increases patient comfort and helps to develop patient cooperation for possible future dental experiences. In the current literature, it has been shown that topical hyaluronic acid applications have a role in reducing infection and pain. There are also studies in the literature showing that tissue biostimulation with different doses of diode laser application accelerates wound healing by promoting cell regeneration. Although there are studies showing that two different applications accelerate wound healing, there is no study comparing the effectiveness of these two methods. In addition, there is no study evaluating extraction wound healing in pediatric patients. Our study will be the first to evaluate tooth extraction wound healing in pediatric patients and to compare these two methods.
