A listing of Altindag, Turkey clinical trials actively recruiting patients volunteers.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a guided imagery intervention in women receiving chemotherapy for gynecological cancers at Başkent University Ankara Hospital Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does guided imagery improve psychological or physical outcomes during chemotherapy? …
One-lung ventilation (OLV) is commonly used during thoracic surgery but may negatively affect lung mechanics and gas exchange. Different ventilation strategies are used during OLV, and their effects on respiratory parameters remain an important clinical concern. Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) is a newer ventilation mode that allows precise control of inspiratory …
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether the CONOX monitor can detect pain during sedation in patients undergoing urological procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the qNOX index respond to pain-related motor responses during urological procedural sedation? Does the qNOX index show greater …
Hemodynamic dysfunction and decreased blood flow to the extremities negatively affect patients' muscle oxygenation, balance, claudication pain, lower extremity muscle strength, and arterial stiffness. These negatively affect patients' exercise capacity. The six-minute stepper test (6 MST) is a simple, low-cost, and minimal space requirement assessment method used to evaluate functional …
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity and is characterized by pain, paresthesia, and functional impairment resulting from increased pressure within the carpal tunnel. Although conservative treatment approaches such as splinting and pharmacological therapy are commonly used, High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) has emerged …
Spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension is a common and clinically significant complication in geriatric patients. Accurate preoperative assessment of intravascular volume status may help identify patients at risk. Internal jugular vein (IJV) ultrasonography is a noninvasive and easily applicable bedside method that reflects venous volume status. This prospective observational study aims to …
Coronary artery disease (CAD) significantly increases mortality rates in both developed and developing countries. In this condition, the impairment of arterial blood circulation leads to insufficient blood supply to the myocardium during both rest and exercise, resulting in symptoms such as angina pectoris, dyspnea, and fatigue. Patients, particularly due to …
Postoperative delirium may occur in children after general anesthesia, even following short procedures such as circumcision. Preoperative systemic inflammation has been associated with postoperative delirium in adults, but data in pediatric patients are limited. This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the association between preoperative inflammatory biomarkers and postoperative delirium …
Effective pain control during pediatric cardiac surgery remains a major clinical challenge, particularly in procedures involving median sternotomy, which is associated with intense nociceptive stimulation. Inadequate intraoperative analgesia may lead to increased opioid requirements, hemodynamic instability, delayed extubation, and prolonged intensive care unit stay. Objective monitoring of nociception may provide …
Interscalene block is widely accepted as the gold-standard regional analgesic technique for pain control after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. However, because this block is performed at the level of the brachial plexus roots, it may be associated with adverse effects such as phrenic nerve blockade and subsequent diaphragmatic dysfunction. These limitations …
