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 study was conducted in children diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP); It is a prospective randomized clinical study planned to examine the effects of treadmill and bicycle ergometer applications combined with fully immersive virtual reality (TISG) on motor function, balance and walking.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic efficacy of thoracal paravertebral block (TPVB) and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB) in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The main questions it aims to answer are: How will the total perioperative opioid consumption of the patients receiving two different blocks change? How will TPVB and SPSIPB effect the patients' numeric rating scores for pain in the postoperative 24-hour period? How will TPVB and SPSIPB effect the incidence of opioid related side effects? Participants will be divided in two groups: TPVB group will receive a TPVB before the surgery. SPSIPB group will receive a SPSIPB nerve block before the surgery. Researchers will compare the results between the groups to see the postoperative effects concerning opioid consumption as well as the pain scores, respiratory parameters and opioid associated side effects. The hypothesis of this study is that participants receiving SPSIPB for VATS will have a less total opioid consumption 24 hours postoperatively.
In adults, chronic plantar fasciitis stands as the predominant cause of persistent heel discomfort.Usually, individuals depict a pulsating pain concentrated around the point of origin of the plantar fascia on the calcaneus. Numerous randomized and non-randomized studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of radiofrequency as a treatment modality for chronic plantar heel pain.In this study, our objective is to assess the impact of radiofrequency modalities applied to the posterior tibial nerve and/or the calcaneal spur area, guided by ultrasound, on patient satisfaction, pain scores, and functional improvement in individuals with chronic plantar fasciitis
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of therapeutic touch on patients' anxiety, vital signs and comfort levels during knee replacement surgery performed under local anesthesia. The study will be completed with a total of 128 participants, including 64 experimental and 64 control participants. As a randomization method, the simple randomization method will be used to ensure an equal number of samples in two groups, and patients will be assigned to the experimental and control groups. In the research, patients will be given verbal information about the research, and written informed consent will be obtained from the patients who accept it. In the study, therapeutic touch was applied for 15-20 minutes during knee replacement surgery and the effect of this application on vital signs, anxiety level and comfort was evaluated.
Aim: This study was planned to determine the effect of therapeutic touch applied at birth on pain, birth duration, traumatic birth perception and anxiety.
The use of simulation in nursing education is an effective way to provide professional skills and enrich learning experiences while protecting patient safety. When the literature is examined, it is seen that simulation is frequently used in advanced life support training. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of advanced life support training in adults, which will be carried out with high-reality simulator/model simulation, web-based simulation and hybrid simulation methods, on the knowledge and skills of nursing students. It has been determined that training provided with hybrid simulation contributes to the professional development of students by creating individualized and interactive learning environments, and that students can more easily transfer the knowledge they have acquired in the educational environment to clinical practice. As a hybrid simulation method in the study; It is planned to use a combination of high-reality simulator/model, which has been proven to be effective in the development of psychomotor skills, and the web-based simulation method, which is effective in creating permanent learning by allowing students to repeat more. In the literature; It has been stated that the level of knowledge and skills gradually decreases after 6-10 weeks of advanced/basic life training. It is anticipated that the web-based simulation method will be effective in providing permanent learning as it gives learners the opportunity to repeat during/after the training. Based on these assumptions, it is planned to develop an adult advanced life support training program consisting of theory and practice, in which the development of students' professional skills is supported through hybrid simulation applications, and the students are provided with the opportunity to repeat. Since the study tests 3 different interventions, it is anticipated that it will lay the groundwork for subsequent studies and provide comprehensive information about simulation-based education practices.
Intraoperative lidocaine infusion is a frequently preferred method in surgical procedures due to its reducing the need for opioids, providing better postoperative pain control, reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting and increasing rapid recovery. Our aim in this study is to show the effect of intraoperative lidocaine infusion on reducing complications such as pain, nausea, vomiting, and the need for opioid analgesia that occur after hysteroscopy operations, which are often performed in gynecology clinics.
The aim of this study was to compare maternal role preparation and mindfulness-centred occupational therapy trainings in pregnant women: a randomised controlled trial with postpartum follow-up.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual reality application on quality of life and functionality, especially sitting balance, in hemiplegic patients.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of two different exercise methods (video-based game exercise group and real (non-game) exercise group) to increase knee strength in healthy individuals on muscle strength, balance and lower extremity functional parameters. In our study, it will be revealed which technique will have what effect in the strengthening, which will be done by taking certain criteria into consideration. Participants will be randomized into three different groups. Two groups, except the control group, will exercise three times a week for 6 weeks. All participants will be assessment twice in total, at the beginning of the study and 6 weeks later. It is thought that the results obtained here will contribute to the literature.
