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 aims to show the effect of VR on skin prick test-related pain and fear in children. The investigators will compare the effect of VR on skin prick test-induced pain and fear in children applying to the Pediatric Allergy outpatient clinic with controls who underwent skin prick test without the use of VR.
Chondromalacia patella (CMP) is a common condition in patients presenting to healthcare units with anterior knee pain (1).
This study aims to conduct a detailed analysis of the immunological response profiles that emerge at different clinical stages of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The research seeks to understand how these responses influence the pathogenesis, staging, and treatment of MRONJ. Throughout the study, cytokine levels, inflammation markers, and other immunological parameters observed at various stages will be comprehensively assessed. The results of these analyses are expected to provide insights into how stage-specific immunological variables could play a role in the diagnosis and treatment of MRONJ.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of serratus anterior plane (SAP) block, pectoserratus plane (PECS II) block, and erector spinae plane (ESP) block on postoperative acute pain, quality of recovery and chronic pain in breast cancer surgery patients.
Sleep is essential to human health and well-being. Lack of or poor sleep can negatively impact cognitive function, mood, and physical performance. Athletes, especially elite athletes, are at risk for sleep problems due to heavy training schedules and the stress of travel. Lack of or poor sleep can negatively impact athletes in many ways, including lack of sleep can lead to mood disorders such as irritability, anxiety, and depression. This may have a negative impact on athlete motivation and participation in training. Sleep deprivation can lead to decreased muscle strength, endurance, and coordination. This can affect an athlete's performance in training and competition phase. Sleep hygiene refers to a set of practices aimed at regulating the sleep environment and habits to improve sleep quality. Sleep hygiene education is an intervention designed to teach athletes about the importance of sleep hygiene to improve their sleep quality. As sleep quality improves, attention, concentration, memory, and decision-making skills also improve . This can help athletes to perform better during training and competition. As sleep quality improves, mood disorders such as irritability, anxiety, and depression decrease. This can increase athlete motivation and participation in training. As sleep quality improves, so does muscle strength, endurance, and coordination.
Spinal deformity is common in childhood and adolescence. Any spinal deformity, especially one that affects the thoracic spine, can affect lung function.The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, and diaphragm contraction is associated with respiratory functions. The investigators aimed to measure the diaphragmatic thickness in adolescents with increased thoracal kyphosis (thoracal hyperkyphosis) deformities.
This interventional study aims to learn about the postoperative analgesic efficacy of a new fascial plane block, recto-intercostal fascial plane block, at coronary artery bypass grafting with sternotomy. There will be two groups, one of which will be the control group, and the other will be the study group randomly receiving postoperative recto-intercostal fascial plane block. The main questions it aims to answer are the effect of this new block on postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores. Also, postoperative outcomes related to respiratory ( postoperative oxygenation and atelectasis score), hemodynamic functions ( newly developed arrhythmias), total postanesthesia care unit stay, and hospital stay will be questioned.
Spinal deformity is common in childhood and adolescence, and can often present as scoliosis or increased thoracic kyphosis deformity with various etiologies.The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, and diaphragm contraction is associated with respiratory functions.Any spinal deformity, especially one that affects the thoracic spine, can affect lung function.In the planned thesis study, investigators will measure the diaphragm thickness in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with scoliosis deformities affecting the thoracic region, whether there is any relationship between the impact in the thoracic region and the diaphragm thickness, and the three-dimensional exercise (Schroth exercise-Barcelona Schroth therapy) applied in investigators' clinic for scoliosis, before and after the treatment of the diaphragm. Investigators aimed to show whether there is any change in thickness.
This study is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based psychoeducation on levels of mindfulness, cognitive defusion, and depression in patients with depression. The sample of the study will consist of 60 patients (30 experimental, 30 control) diagnosed with major depression, recruited from a state hospital. Mindfulness-based psychoeducation will be applied to the experimental group once a week for a total of 8 weeks in the form of group sessions. No intervention other than routine treatment will be applied to the control group. The primary questions that the study aims to answer are as follows: Does mindfulness-based psychoeducation increase levels of mindfulness and cognitive defusion in depression patients? Does mindfulness-based psychoeducation decrease levels of depression in depression patients?
Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures among general surgery cases. As with many open surgical methods, this repair is also performed laparoscopically. Among these closed methods, the one method is laparoscopic extended total extraperitoneal repair (eTEP). The benefits of laparoscope include less postoperative pain and complications, faster recovery, reduced chronic pain, and recurrence rate. One of the recent debates regarding the laparoscopic technique is mesh fixation. Fixation of the mesh to the cooper ligament can prevent mesh migration and consequently reduce the recurrence rate. However, it has been reported that this fixation may increase postoperative pain. Several studies have reported that recurrence may be due to inadequate mesh fixation technique. In contrast, other prospective randomized studies have found relapse unrelated to mesh fixation. In the eTEP technique, dissection is performed in a larger area than in TEP. For this reason, it can be thought that the possibility of mesh displacement is higher in the eTEP procedure. The purpose of this study is to confirm this idea with a prospective study. There are studies in the literature on mesh fixation related to the total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) technique. However, there is no study on mesh detection in the eTEP technique. The aim of the study is to compare patients who underwent withmesh fixation and without mesh fixation laparoscopic eTEP repair in terms of clinical data such as mesh displacement and hernia recurrence, chronic pain, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.
