Current clinical practices often provide general verbal advice to low-risk patients, which may not sufficiently address individual concerns or offer actionable steps. Generic information on the internet can be overwhelming or unreliable, leading to confusion and unnecessary follo…

This randomized controlled clinical study aims to evaluate the clinical performance of five different bulk-fill composite materials representing distinct technological approaches according to the World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria. The materials include a thermoviscous bulk-f…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative effects of post-isometric relaxation (PIR) and active isolated stretch (AIS) techniques on reducing pain, improving range of motion, and decreasing functional disability in individuals with piriformis syndrome. A total of 4…

This study examines the effects of autogenic inhibition (PFS) versus reciprocal inhibition in individuals with lower cross syndrome

Low back pain is a highly prevalent musculoskeletal condition and is frequently associated with structural and functional alterations of the lumbar multifidus muscle. Percutaneous electrolysis is an ultrasound-guided invasive physiotherapy technique increasingly used in the manag…

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain around or behind the patella during activities such as stair ambulation, squatting, running, jumping, and prolonged sitting. Exercise therapy combined with patient education is considered first-…

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Social Cognitive Theory-based education program on self-efficacy, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and health literacy in older adults aged 65 years and over attending primary care centers. Participants will be assigned to either an …

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by anterior knee pain, especially during activities such as stair climbing, squatting, running, and prolonged sitting. Weakness or delayed activation of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscl…

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of neuromuscular taping on cervical pain and health-related quality of life in climacteric women with non-specific chronic neck pain. Two taping techniques ("Y-strip" and "star-shape") will be compared with a …

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the acute effects of immersive virtual reality (VR)-based exergaming combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on executive functions in healthy older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does VR…

The present study is designed to compare the effectiveness of perturbation-based balance training performed on two different surfaces, stable (firm surface) and unstable (rolling board), for enhancing static, dynamic, and reactive balance in individuals diagnosed with diabetic ne…

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common and serious complication of diabetes that causes numbness, pain, and weakness, often starting in the feet. Currently, there is no cure, and early diagnosis is difficult with standard tests alone. This observational study aims to fi…

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by heterogeneous lung injury, with dependent regions often collapsed and non-dependent regions relatively well-aerated, forming the so called "baby lung." Mechanical ventilation, while essential, can induce additional lung inju…

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the influences of a traditional pulmonary rehabilitation program versus a combined program including the Lung Boost device on pulmonary function and quality of life in women with compromised respiratory function. The stu…

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders affecting approximately 25% of active young adults, and it is frequently associated with persistent anterior knee pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. Despite the widespr…

This prospective, open-label, controlled pilot study evaluates oral 10% 35 kDa hyaluronan (HA35) versus four control interventions (C60 grapeseed oil, high-oxidation potential water, normal saline, grapeseed oil) for relief of capsaicin/AITC-induced oral pain and pungent sensatio…

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if intragastric administration of lidocaine can reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The main question it aims to answer is: Does administering 0.5% lidocaine via an oro…

This randomized controlled trial is conducted to determine the effects of transcutaneous auricular Vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on postural control in stroke patients (e.g., improvements in balance, mobility, and functional stability) and to evaluate the effects of taVNS on au…

This observational study aims to collect detailed metabolic and physiologic data from adults with insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus following consumption of a mixed meal tolerance test. Participants will undergo frequent blood sampling over a 4-hour period after consumin…

The goal of this clinical trial is to look at how well different surgeries heal over time in patients that have previously undergone arthroscopic knee interventions. These procedures may include cartilage repair or grafting, meniscus repair or trimming, ligament reconstruction, c…
