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.
Chronic wounds that fail to heal over extended periods pose a significant financial burden on the healthcare system, underscoring the urgent need to enhance clinical treatments. Among the most promising approaches are stem cell-based therapies. Substantial evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can facilitate the healing of chronic wounds in both animal models and preclinical studies, primarily through their paracrine actions. The bioactive factors and cytokines secreted by MSCs can be harvested in the form of conditioned medium. This medium has been processed into a lyophilized powder for clinical use. Patients with chronic wounds will recruited and divided into two groups: the control group will receive the commonly used fibroblast growth factor, while the experimental group was treated with the lyophilized powder. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of this Stem cell and exosome in treating chronic wounds (especially pilonidal sinus).
It is observed that art-based programs, one of the non-pharmacological methods, play an active role in improving the health and well-being of pregnant women and reducing anxiety, stress and depression. This shows that arts-based experiences offer women a unique opportunity to explore all dimensions of the transition to motherhood. When the literature is examined, it is seen that art-based interventions are used in birth units, neonatal intensive care and high-risk pregnancy units. However, no study has been found in which it was applied during the NST procedure. Therefore, the aim of our study is to examine the effect of picture-based art intervention on the fetus during the Non-Stress Test on maternal anxiety and fetal parameters.
This research was planned experimentally to investigate the effect of teaching supported by WEB 2.0 tools on the development of WEB pedagogical content knowledge of nursing students. Innovative learning technologies provide easy and fast access to information. One of the important opportunities provided by the Internet is that it facilitates the transfer of information in education and enables active learning thanks to WEB 2.0 applications. The use of WEB 2.0 tools in nursing education provides significant benefits to the cognitive, affective and behavioral fields. Considering their important role in education, academic nurses' technological applications are critical to achieve good results in this context. For this reason, it is very important to shed light on the use of Web 2.0 tools for nursing education, to enlighten nurse candidates about the general use of Web 2.0 tools, and at the same time to discover the best technological practices they use.
The goal of this single blind randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of sensory-perception-motor training on cognitive functions, balance and gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease? The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on balance in patients with Parkinson's Disease? - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on cognitive functions in patients with Parkinson's Disease? - Does sensory-perception-motor training have an effect on gait in patients with Parkinson's Disease? Patients in the control group will be asked to continue their routine lives and return for evaluation after 8 weeks. Individuals in the control group will be followed without any additional treatment or advice. Patients in the study group will receive sensory-perceptual-motor training for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, in addition to their routine lives. No additional recommendations will be given to individuals in either group.
The aim of our study is to determine and evaluate the effects of blood flow restriction technique on pain, biomechanical properties and strength of the muscle in delayed onset muscle pain in healthy individuals. A Double Blind, Randomized Controlled, prospective study was planned.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve block, fascia iliaca compartment block, and femoral block on the quality of recovery as part of multimodal analgesia before hip surgery under spinal anesthesia.
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is an endoscopic procedure performed to investigate conditions affecting the stomach, liver, and bile ducts, as well as for therapeutic interventions. The complexity of EUS can vary significantly, with increased complexity affecting procedure duration, technical success, and the occurrence of adverse events. For the comfort of patients and the success of the procedure, these interventions are typically performed under anesthesia with procedural sedation. To enhance the success rate of the procedure, reduce the risk of side effects, and maximize patient comfort, EUS is generally performed under sedation according to the recommendations of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). During sedation, the aim is for the patient to be more relaxed and comfortable while maintaining spontaneous respiratory function. Preserving spontaneous respiratory parameters is crucial for procedural safety.
One of the nonpharmacologic interventions included in the NIC-Nursing Interventions Classification is the use of stress balls. Stress balls are one of the cognitive distraction methods used especially in reducing pain and increasing the comfort level of patients. On the other hand, there are studies showing that stress balls have a positive effect not only on pain but also on vital signs, anxiety and comfort level of the patient.
Acute and chronic pain after cardiac surgery is a common problem that negatively affects quality of life. Postoperative pain after cardiac surgery is most intense in the first two days and decreases in the following period. However, postoperative pain with incomplete management in the acute period may become chronic. This may negatively affect the patient's quality of life. Although central blocks such as thoracic epidural and paravertebral blocks are considered the gold standard in analgesia control, the advantages of thoracic plan blocks, which are more superficial due to peroperative heparinisation; coagulation disorders; and procedural difficulties, are undeniable. Thoracic plane blocks, which can also be used in patients receiving anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy, have recently been used for acute pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of thoracic plane blocks on extubation time, pain scores, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stays in patients undergoing median sternotomy.
In this study researchers plan to conduct, three different irrigation solutions that are responsible for the release of growth factors necessary for the success of regenerative endodontic treatments will be used. These solutions; Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA), Etidronic Acid and Citric Acid. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different irrigation solutions used in regenerative endodontic treatment of necrotic open apex molar teeth on postoperative pain. Additionally, the healing of these teeth will be monitored for 1 year.
