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 early physiotherapy, taught to parents, can improve movement and development in babies at risk for problems like cerebral palsy. Fifty infants from the NICU will be randomly assigned to get either the special program or standard care. Researchers will mea…

This study tests whether starting physiotherapy early in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) helps at-risk infants improve their motor, cognitive, and language development. About 100 babies with conditions like prematurity or birth complications will receive either standard c…

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 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 explores whether mentally practicing a hand dexterity test can immediately improve actual performance in people with Parkinson's disease. Thirty participants will time themselves both physically and mentally performing the Nine-Hole Peg Test. The goal is to see if moto…

This study tests whether motor imagery training—mentally practicing walking and balance tasks—can reduce kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and improve gait and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Fifty participants will be recruited to perform mental imagery exercises alon…

This study tests whether a soft back brace that supports the natural curve of the lower back can improve posture, balance, and walking speed in children with cerebral palsy. Twenty-five children aged 6 to 15 with mild to moderate mobility issues will be tested with and without th…

This study follows 100 adults with Sjögren's disease for 3 months to understand what causes their fatigue. Researchers will use questionnaires and pain tests to track fatigue, mood, sleep, and activity levels. The goal is to find factors that predict or explain fatigue, which cou…

This study looks at whether a figure-of-eight backward walking test can reliably measure balance and fall risk in healthy adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will test 87 participants twice over two days to see if the test gives consistent results. No treatment is given—the goa…

This study aims to create and validate a Turkish version of a short neurological exam called the BRIEF-HINE for babies at high risk of brain problems. Researchers will test 120 infants aged 3 to 12 months who have conditions like premature birth or brain injury. The goal is to se…

This study is translating and testing a Turkish version of the Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination (HNNE) for high-risk infants, such as premature babies or those with birth complications. Researchers will check if the exam is reliable and valid for use in Turkey by com…
