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.
Introduction: This study investigated the efficacy of sacral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for managing postoperative pain and reducing opioid consumption in patients undergoing hemorrhoid and pilonidal sinus (PS) surgery.
Multiplex respiratory polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test has gained wide acceptance as an alternative to conventional culture methods for the detection of the causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The aim of this study is to evaluate the positivity and to determine the causative agent of CAP using multiplex respiratory PCR test in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Patients who had an indication for phototherapy were included in this study. The treatment was used as a monotherapy protocol. The standard protocol for bathing PUVA involved applying 0.01% bath psoralen for 15 minutes, while the tap water group only received a tap water bath for 15 minutes and the salt water group received 3% salted (NaCl) water before UVA treatment.
VR, with its developing technology, is a new technique used in the healthcare industry combined with cognitive technology to reduce the symptoms experienced by patients and to relieve the patient. This study investigates whether virtual tour environments created using virtual reality glasses have an effect on patients' vital signs, symptoms and comfort during the hemodialysis session. It is aimed to evaluate the effect of Virtual Reality Based Videos applied during hemodialysis treatment on Hemodialysis Symptoms, vital signs and Comfort.
The International Headache Society (IHS) defines occipital neuralgia, as a unilateral or bilateral paroxysmal, shooting, or stabbing pain in the posterior region of the scalp, in the distribution of the greater occipital nerve (GON), lesser occipital nerve (LON), or third occipital nerve (TON). The condition is occasionally accompanied by diminished sensation or dysesthesia in the affected area and is frequently associated with tenderness over the involved nerves. The majority of cases with occipital neuralgia are idiopathic, with no clearly defined anatomical cause. First, conservative treatment approaches including medication and physical therapy are frequently used. When conservative measures fail to alleviate occipital neuralgia, interventional treatments such as local occipital nerve anesthetic and corticosteroid infiltration, botulinum toxin A injection, occipital nerve subcutaneous neurostimulation or occipital nerve radifrequency treatment may be used.
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the Health Belief Model-Based Education Program on the Physical Activity Beliefs and Behaviors of First Year Students of the Faculty of Nursing using a randomized controlled experimental research method.
The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy and practicality of ultrasound in the selection of double lumen tube and whether the complications that may occur intraoperatively and postoperatively can be reduced. Patients aged 18-75 years with ASA 1-2-3 who give informed consent for left double lumen tube placement for single lung ventilation will be included in this study. Patients with a history of previous difficult intubation, head and neck surgery and radiotherapy, class 3-4 in the Colmark-Lehane classification by the thoracic anaesthetist who will perform the intubation, and patients with previously known hoarseness and chronic cough will not be included in the study. Patients who accept the study will be randomly assigned to one of the anaesthesia groups including ultrasound group (Group 1) and classical method (Group 2). Randomisation will be in a 1:1 ratio and will be done by closed envelope method.
Prediction of difficult preoperative intubation in obese patients and completion of preparations for difficult intubation both reduce the risk of repeated intubation and prevent complications. In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate whether anthropometric measurements are superior in defining difficult preoperative airways.
This study aimed to evaluate the caregiving burden and severity of depression in patients with right hemiplegia and left hemiplegia.
The aim of this study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Quality of Recovery 15 questionnaire in Turkey.
