An Open-label Extension Study to Evaluate Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Odevixibat (A4250) in Children with Biliary Atresia
Biological, psychological, and social factors all influence a child's sense of pain. Pain beliefs can have a significant impact on a person's perception of pain and adherence to treatment. As a result, pain management requires a thorough examination of the factors that influence pain perception. Coping is a cognitive and behavioral response to conditions and threats based on by personal or environmental factors. Children who do not have adequate coping mechanisms suffer from more severe pain. As a result, dealing with pain is a crucial part of pain management. This highlights the need of assessing pain coping in children when treating chronic pain. The purpose of this study is to show that the Turkish version of the Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ), which assesses children's pain coping techniques, is valid and reliable, as well as to ensure that it is culturally appropriate.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs as a result of compression of the median nerve under the transverse ligament along the carpal tunnel. The main cause of median nerve compression and carpal tunnel syndrome is increased volume in the carpal tunnel. The pressure that edema puts on the nerve must be controlled in the early period. Edema that persists beyond the inflammatory process can contribute to the fibrotic stage, delay healing, and even cause complications such as pain and stiffness. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialized technique that involves gentle massage techniques and follows lymphatic pathways from proximal to distal and then from distal to proximal. On the basis of this concept; Increasing circulation by stimulating the lymph system, removing biochemical residues, reducing edema and pain, and regulating sympathetic and parasympathetic system responses. It is known that MLD rapidly regulates lymphatic circulation by creating a change in interstitial fluid pressure, thus preventing even arthrofibrotic tissue that may form after a traumatic situation, reducing edema that predisposes to pain, and increasing mobility. Nerve gliding exercises are another method used in treatment. By providing a sliding movement of the tendons and median nerve in the distal-proximal direction, mobilization of the surrounding soft tissues is achieved and dynamic ischemia is terminated. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage and nerve mobilization on clinical and ultrasonographic findings in carpal tunnel syndrome.
The first phase was designed in a methodological pattern in order to develop, usability, and performance of mobile application (mobileapp) called "My Fight with Incontinence". Aim of the second phase of the study was to evaluate the effect of mobileapp developed according to the health belief model on incontinence symptoms, Kegel exercise compliance, health belief and quality of life towards UI and kegel exercises in women with UI. The study was planned in a single-center, single-blind, one-to-one, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial design with a 3-month follow-up period. The research will be carried out in the Urology service and polyclinics of Eskişehir Osmangazi University Health Practice and Research Hospital. The study population of the research consists of 203 female patients over the age of 18 who were followed up with the diagnosis of Stress, Urge, and Mixed Type UI. Sample selection will not be made in the first stage of the study, and mobileapp will be tested on people aged 18 and over who can be reached, working, studying, or receiving treatment at Eskişehir Osmangazi University Training, Application and Research Hospital and Eskişehir Osmangazi University. The number of samples required for the study was determined by the power analysis made in the GPower 3.1 package program. Assuming that there may be losses during the follow-up and considering the possibility of nonparametric testing, a total of 96 individuals, 48 in each group, with an increase of 20%, will form the research group. In the second stage of the study, "Incontinence Severity Index Questionnaire", "International Urinary Incontinence Inquiry Form-Short Form (ICIQ-SF)", "Kegel Exercise Compliance Follow-up Form", "Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise", "Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7)" will be used. Control group will be given a training booklet called "My Fight with Incontinence", which includes healthy lifestyle behaviors, bladder training, and Kegel exercises related to UI after the pre-tests are applied. After pre-tests are applied to the study group, "My Fight with Incontinence" mobileapp will be installed on their mobile phones by researcher. Reminders will be sent to the patients on a regular basis via the mobileapp. Participants in both the control and study groups will be provided with the link of the survey form created via google forms in the 6th and 12th weeks by sending an SMS.
Experiences such as hospitalization, medical or surgical procedures are stressful, complex and threatening, especially for children and their families. Among the first crisis symptoms that children are faced with are illness, hospitalization and surgery anxiety. There is a direct relationship between the fear and anxiety experienced by children and their parents during the pre-operative processes. Therefore, ensuring not only the psychological but also physiological preparation of both the children and their parents before the surgery is of great importance. In the hospital, applying distraction methods appropriate for the age period of children and conveying procedural information to them simultaneously are difficult and challenging. In such situations, in clinical settings, virtual reality technology can be used at any time and place without requiring extra workforce to eliminate or reduce children's fear and anxiety. Virtual reality applications, as a distracting therapeutic method, are a fun, calming, safe, accessible, effective and acceptable intervention that can be used for the management of acute pain, fear and anxiety in pediatric patients. Such applications can affect children visually, aurally and contextually. Because they are different from common distraction methods used by children such as reading books, playing with toys, watching television or movies, playing a two-dimensional video game or game console. Virtual reality (VR) is used to distract children's attention to reduce fear and anxiety before surgery. A VR tour of the operating theater can provide a realistic experience for children. The aim in this study was to investigate the effect of an actual operating theater tour which is watched by children aged 6-12 years wearing a 3D virtual headset on their fear and anxiety.
The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the vitality of teeth that had been treated with calcium hydroxide in direct pulp capping cases.
In order to investigate the effect of myofascial release technique on sportive performance, balance and injury risk in runners, 49 athletes will include in the study. The myofascial application group (n=26)will receive 12 sessions of 6-weekly lower extremity posterior muscle therapy. The control group (n=23) will continue the routine exercise program.
In our study, it is aimed to evaluate the cardiac rhythms of patients who are decided to receive inpatient treatment in the physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic due to any neuromusculoskeletal diseases with 24 hour rhythm holter follow up on the day of hospitalization and three weeks after hospitalization and to determine the factors that may affect this result if a significant change is observed between the two measurements.The present results will guide the determination of the exercise duration, intensity, type and severity of the exercises to be created within the scope of the treatment programs of the patients and will lead to similar studies.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of action observation therapy applied using two different telerehabilitation techniques (synchronous and asynchronous) to children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
The aim of this study is to (a) investigate the effects of manual lymphatic drainage and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on the severity of syndrome symptoms, pain, heart rate variability, and quality of life in women with premenstrual syndrome, and (b) compare the effectiveness of these two methods. Female participants who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study will be called approximately one week before menstruation. After the participants are randomly divided into 3 groups, their baseline assessments will be made. Then, the participants will be treated according to the group they are assigned to. Treatments will be applied for 5 days and once a day. No treatment will be applied to the control group. The assessments will be repeated after the treatment, on 1st day of menstruation, two days before the next menstruation, and on the first day of the next menstruation. The hypothesis of this study is that manual lymphatic drainage and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation have positive effects on the severity of premenstrual syndrome symptoms, pain, heart rate variability, and quality of life.
