There are about 14886 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 aims to evaluate the effects of different dietary treatments on intestinal integrity in female subjects aged 19-50 years previously diagnosed with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). At the Gülhane Training and Research Hospital's gastroenterology clinic in Ankara, Turkey, a randomized controlled experiment was carried out. 60 individuals with IBS were randomly divided into three groups. Group 1 was assigned to a regular constipation diet, group 2 to a constipation diet rich in soluble fibers, and group 3 to a constipation diet with probiotic yogurt supplementation. Every individual was monitored for eight weeks. Plasma zonulin level was used to measure intestinal integrity both before and after treatment.
The study aimed to investigate the effect of attachment training given to pregnant women on mother-infant attachment.Primiparous pregnant women between 28.-38. weeks were randomized into two groups. Pregnant women in the study group were given attachment training for 15 days and the effect of the training on mother-infant attachment was investigated by using the mother-infant attachment scale at postpartum week 8 in comparison with the control group.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of self-management skills training given with the peer education module on the problematic internet use and academic procrastination behavior of nursing students. .
The postpartum period, especially in the first few weeks, can be a difficult period for mothers to adapt to the new situation of having a baby. During this process, physiological, psychological and social changes occur in the mother's body. While many mothers adapt to these changes easily, some mothers may experience psychological disorders at different levels.Among these, anxiety and depression are the most common diseases. Anxiety can negatively affect mothers, especially during birth and the postpartum period.During the postpartum period, nurses have the opportunity to improve maternal and infant health by recognizing and treating anxiety.Physical symptoms associated with postpartum anxiety include fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances. However, during the vaginal birth process, mothers may feel tired in the early postpartum period, as the pregnant woman spends a lot of energy by staying hungry for a long time. When the literature was examined, it was determined that endorphin massage reduces back pain in pregnant women, reduces anxiety level in pregnant women, accelerates the involution process in the postpartum period, and has positive effects on postpartum depression.Similar to endorphin massage, it has been determined that back massage reduces back pain in the postpartum period and provides the mother with both physiological and psychological relief. In addition, no study has been found examining the effect of endorphin massage applied to postpartum women on anxiety levels and fatigue in the postpartum period. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of endorphin massage applied to postpartum women who gave birth vaginally on postpartum anxiety and fatigue levels.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the treatment efficacy of TECAR therapy, a modern application that has been increasingly used in recent years, compared to conventional physical therapy applications in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, according to the evaluation of the clinical findings of patients. Methods: A total of 54 patients, aged between 40 and 75 years, were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups received CPT. Group 2 received TECAR therapy in addition to CPT, applied three times a week for two weeks, for a total of 6 sessions. All patient's knee joint range of motion (ROM) was measured goniometrically, isometric quadriceps muscle strength was measured, and pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and disability levels were assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) before treatment, at the end of treatment, at 1 month, and at 3 months.
Improvement of proprioception in athletes has been found to be effective in preventing fear of movement. The importance of these parameters has not been sufficiently emphasized in volleyball players. In addition, the relationship between upper extremity proprioception and the sense of touch, which is an important component of the somatosensory system, and common anxiety states in athletes has not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between shoulder joint proprioception and psychometric parameters, kinesiophobia and palmar tactile sensation in volleyball players.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of cultural competence education given according to the peer education model on the cultural competence levels of student nurses.
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of supervised exercises, video based exercises and control group on muscle strength, muscle endurance, pain and upper extremity function in dentists with musculoskeletal pain. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups: Supervised exercise group (SEG), video based exercise group (VEG) and control group (CG). Both SEG and VEG were given same exercises but SEG did the exercises with a experienced physiotherapist while VEG did it through videos 3 days a week for 12 weeks. CG was only given postural education.
Informed consent is the first step in every medical procedure. It is important for the patient to clearly understand how the procedure will be performed, what to expect from the process, and the possible complications. Any of the specified processes disruption may alter procedure satisfaction and treatment outcomes. Studies have reported that providing insufficient information before interventional procedures increases anxiety and the severity of pain during the procedure. In this study, alongside the standard procedures for obtaining oral and written consent, it is envisaged to augment patient comprehension and engagement by visually demonstrating the treatment areas and needle insertion points using a spinal model. Within the study framework, patients will be presented with both verbal and written informed consent, supplemented by visual aids utilizing a spinal model. The study aims to assess and compare the efficacy of this enhanced consent process in terms of patient understanding, procedural acceptance, and subsequent satisfaction levels.
In this study, we developed a mobile application that will enable caregivers to continuously monitor the vital health, medication, activity, and location of the patients with MCI with a smart wristband while enabling them caregivers to track the progress of the disease by a machine learning model that predicts MMSE of the patient using speech
