This study looks at whether starting physiotherapy early, with help from parents, can improve movement and development in babies who are at risk for problems like cerebral palsy. Researchers will follow 50 infants after they leave the NICU, comparing those who get extra therapy t…

This study compares a standard gum graft technique with a modified version to treat gum recession on lower front teeth. About 34 healthy, non-smoking adults will receive one of the two procedures. Researchers will use 3D scans to measure tissue thickness and volume changes over 6…

This study tests whether a one-week structured breastfeeding education program, supported by midwives, can improve sucking skills in infants who refuse the nipple, boost mothers' breastfeeding motivation, and strengthen mother-infant bonding. About 64 mothers with infants aged 1-…

This study looks at whether a soft back brace that supports the natural curve of the lower back can help children with cerebral palsy (ages 6-15, mild to moderate walking difficulty) improve their posture, balance, and walking speed. Researchers will measure these abilities with …

This study looks at whether mentally practicing hand movements (called motor imagery) can immediately improve hand and finger skills in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will have 30 participants perform a pegboard test both physically and in their imagination, then co…

This study explores whether motor imagery training—mentally practicing movements without actually doing them—can reduce fear of movement (kinesiophobia) and improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will enroll 50 adults aged 40-75 with mild to m…

This study tests whether applying a topical steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) to the roof of the mouth after gum graft surgery can speed healing, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. About 55 adults needing a gum graft will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid …

This study looks at whether starting physiotherapy early, with help from parents, can improve movement, thinking, and language skills in babies at risk for developmental delays. About 100 infants in the NICU will take part, and their progress will be tracked up to 12 months old. …

This study is creating and testing a Turkish version of the Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination (HNNE) for 120 high-risk infants, such as premature babies or those with birth complications. The goal is to make sure the exam is accurate and reliable for Turkish doctors a…

This study is translating a short, 5-minute neurological test (BRIEF-HINE) into Turkish and checking if it works well for 120 high-risk infants. These babies are at risk for conditions like cerebral palsy due to premature birth or other complications. The goal is to give doctors …

This study looks at whether a simple backward walking test can reliably measure balance and fall risk in healthy adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will compare the figure-of-eight backward walking test with other balance tests. The goal is to find a better way to identify sen…

This study aims to understand what causes fatigue in people with Sjögren's disease. About 100 adults will complete surveys and pain tests at the start and again after 3 months. No new treatments are given—the goal is to gather information to help future care.
