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.
Inguinal hernia is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in general surgery. This surgery can be performed with both open and laparoscopic techniques. There is no clear consensus on whether inguinal hernia repair, which is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in elderly patients, should be performed open or laparoscopic. The application of the open technique with regional anesthesia methods such as spinal anesthesia and local anesthesia makes these methods attractive. The fact that laparoscopic techniques cause patients to recover faster also makes these techniques attractive. However, the fact that it is usually performed under general anesthesia is a significant disadvantage. Increasing comorbidities and increased drug use, especially in elderly patients, make surgeons think about which technique to prefer. The aim of this study is to compare open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, which should be preferred in patients over 65 years of age.
Low back pain is an important health problem that is common worldwide, with a lifetime prevalence of up to 80%.
Hypospadias is among the most common congenital genital malformations in boys and is typically treated through surgical intervention. During pediatric urological surgery, caudal anesthesia, also known as a caudal block, is frequently employed as a regional anesthetic technique. It has proven to be a safe and effective anesthetic approach in children, with a low rate of anesthesia-related complications. However, despite the low incidence of complications directly associated with the caudal block, there is limited and inconclusive evidence regarding its impact on surgical complications. Therefore, this randomized controlled superiority trial aims to evaluate whether the use of caudal anesthesia, compared to the dorsal penile block, is associated with an increased incidence of urethrocutaneous fistulas and glans dehiscence following hypospadias repair.
Investigation of the relationship between maternal serum vasohibin-1, vasohibin-2, cardiotrophin -1 and endocan concentrations at the 11th and 14th weeks of gestation and adverse perinatal outcomes.
In this study involving adolescent individuals who play basketball, we will investigate the effect of kinesio taping. Kinesio taping can be applied with appropriate technique and tension to reduce pain, swelling, and muscle spasms, as well as to correct mechanical issues. In this study, researchers will apply kinesio taping to the ankle and knee and thes assess its impact on balance, agility, and jumping performance through various tests. Specifically, researchers will conduct the star balance test for balance, the T-test for agility, and the vertical jump test for jumping performance. researchers plan to carry out this research with 30 participants at the Dev Ataşehir Sports Club to gather the necessary data.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mobilization exercises applied to the thoracic region on pain, anxiety, depression, disease impact questionnaire, sympathetic and parasympathetic activity in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of vestibular and proprioceptive exercise practices on the hyperactivity level in children with autism spectrum disorder.
This study was planned to evaluate the effect of education on the management of side effects and the use of cooling pillowcase on hot flush complaints, sleep and quality of life in women with breast cancer receiving hormone therapy.
The research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental at Erzurum Atatürk University Health Application and Research Center. The population of the research will include patients who come to the General Surgery Gastroenterology service for laparoscopic cholecystectomy between the specified dates and who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. In this research, 30 experimental and 30 control group patients will be included in the study in order to perform parametric tests. The data of the research were prepared by the researcher using the literature and similar studies after obtaining ethics committee approval and written permission from the institution where the research would be conducted. "FR.3- Alertness and Sedation Observer Assessment Scale (OAA/S)" and Modified Aldrete Scoring, Awake and Sedation Observer Assessment Scale and "FR.4- MAS and OAA/S Scores Time-Dependent", which includes the Patient's Vital Signs, are used to evaluate the patient's condition. Patients determined by the "Change Table" will be collected by observing them before and after surgery. In the research; In order to more easily overcome the anxiety and confusion that patients who have undergone surgical operations experience during the orientation process while waking up after the case, the patient will be given suggestions regarding the post-anesthesia waking period by testing the menthol smell in the preoperative period. When the patient hears the menthol scent applied during postoperative awakening; It is intended for the patient to remember that his surgery is over, that he needs to wake up and that the medical staff is waiting for him to wake up. In this way, it is thought that the patient's anxiety and complexity during the postoperative awakening period will be eliminated, the patient's vital signs will remain at an optimum level, and a more comfortable reanimation will occur.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of the digital mind map technique on the learning of midwifery students. The research will be carried out with Kocaeli University Midwifery 2nd year students. A meeting was held with students regarding extracurricular studies between 12 February and 16 February 2024, which is the beginning of the 2023-2024 academic year academic calendar of Kocaeli University. The research will be completed with 86 students in the mind map method group (n = 43) and the classical method (n = 43) group. Data will be collected through the participant information form, knowledge assessment survey on family planning, and satisfaction assessment survey of the narrative regarding the digital mind map. Three topics determined regarding family planning methods (oral contraceptives, condoms and intrauterine devices) were prepared by the researcher using the digital mind map technique. The participant information form and the knowledge evaluation survey on family planning were administered as a pre-test to the students who accepted the research at the first meeting. The mind map technique was first explained to the mind map method group. The topics were explained to the students in the mind map method group by the researcher and his advisor using the mind map technique and with materials prepared with the digital mind map technique. The classical method was explained to the classical method group by the researcher and his advisor. A posttest will be administered to both groups 1 week after the lecture. Again, 35 days after the lecture, the study will be completed by applying a permanence test to both groups and a student satisfaction survey to the experimental group. After the study, the mind map technique will be explained to all students in the classical method group who have completed the study, and the topics prepared with the digital mind map technique will be explained to the classical method group and reinforced. Statistical analysis of the data obtained as a result of the research will be carried out using the IBM Statistic 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) program. Study data will be collected using appropriate statistical methods and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
