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 research was conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of stress ball application on stress, anxiety and comfort in women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy.
Nurses play an important role in providing sexual health care to individuals. In this study, online sexual health training will be implemented in an innovative way by supporting the use of models in the process of providing sexual counseling to the patients of nursing students. The most commonly used PLISSIT model will be taught to nursing students while providing sexual counseling to patients and its effectiveness will be determined.
No tool has been found to evaluate behaviors that may hinder or facilitate physical activity in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases. In this sense, the importance of examining physical activity barriers and facilitators in children with rheumatic diseases is clear. We believe that our study will guide the increase in physical activity, which is very important for reducing disease risks in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases. The aim of our study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Inflammatory Arthritis Facilitators and Barriers to Physical Activity (IFAB) Questionnaire in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases (juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome, juvenile dermatomyositis).
Because of its high incidence, it is essential to determine the neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest. However, there is not much information to guide post-cardiac arrest care. Also, dynamic monitoring of the state of the brain can help provide information about the patient's prognosis other than previously described serum biomarkers. Therefore, the researchers will monitor postcardiac arrest patients in the intensive care unit for 48 hours by electroencephalogram and cerebral oximetry and collect blood samples for serum biomarkers: neuron-specific enolase (NSE), human neurogranin (NRGN) and human trigger receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-2), which are associated with neuronal damage. And investigate the relation of these data to mortality.
Surgical treatment is performed with the aim of reducing, halting the progression of, or treating certain pathological conditions in the human body by removing some tissue or organs from the body. Wedge resection is considered an effective method for the treatment of lung cancer. The wedge resection method is utilized in both malignant and non-malignant pulmonary pathologies (such as bronchiectasis, aspergilloma, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, tuberculosis, fungal infections, inflammatory pseudotumors, hydatid cyst, and benign masses). Following surgical procedures such as Video-Assisted Thorascopic Surgery (VATS) and wedge resection, side effects and complications such as atelectasis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, prolonged air leakage, chylothorax, sepsis, pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, empyema, bronchopleural fistula, pain, anxiety, dyspnea, fatigue, and insomnia can occur. Non-pharmacological methods are observed to increase comfort and control in patients, thereby enhancing their quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions such as music therapy, hot or cold therapy, hypnosis, aromatherapy, massage, progressive relaxation exercises, deep breathing exercises, pursed lip breathing, yoga, and meditation can be employed in the management of postoperative symptoms such as pain, anxiety, dyspnea, insomnia, and fatigue. Studies involving breathing exercises have shown that they reduce anxiety and pain scores after exercise. Alternate nostril breathing, a yoga practice, is considered one of the best breathing exercises for health and fitness. It has positive effects on dyspnea, anxiety, stress, and sleep disorders.
The aim of this planned randomized controlled clinical study is to evaluate the morbidity of the palatal donor area after free gingival graft (FGG) operations. In this study, wound healing and pain levels in the palatal region will be evaluated after cyanoacrylate and concentrated growth factor (CGF) applications.
The study is a randomised controlled experimental study conducted to examine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on dyspnea and comfort level in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study was conducted between January and August 2023 in the Internal Medicine Clinic of Izmir Urla State Hospital. Stratified and block randomisation method was used in the study and 42 patients, 21 intervention group and 21 control group, were completed. Patients in the intervention group received 30-minute progressive relaxation exercises for 6 weeks. Patients in the control group did not receive any intervention other than standard care practices. The data of the study were collected by face-to-face interview method using the Descriptive Information Form, Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, General Comfort Scale-Short Form and Patient Follow-up Form. Descriptive statistics, Shapiro Wilk test, Levene's test, Mauchly's W test, independent sample T test, Mann Whitney U test, dependent sample t test, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, Friedman test, Benferoni test and Fisher's Exact test were used to analyse the data obtained from the study. It was determined that the mean dyspnea level scores of the patients in the intervention group at week 6 were lower than the control group and this difference between the groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). It was determined that the decrease in the mean comfort level scores of the patients in the intervention group according to the follow-up periods was statistically significant (p<0.05). According to the results of the study, progressive relaxation exercises can be recommended as an effective nursing intervention to provide dyspnea management in patients with COPD.
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.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of motor learning training in addition to a 6-week conventional physiotherapy program on motor imagery, function pain and grip strength in individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis. At the end of the study, it is aimed to develop a system for motor learning training in individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis and to create a new exercise protocol.
