NCT01428895
Bone is a common site of metastasis for a range of malignancies. Bone metastases have the potential to cause significant morbidity including pain, impairment of ambulation and reduced functional independence. Previous research has shown that pathological fractures are observed in 9 to 29 percent of patients with long bone metastases, and a high proportion of these require surgical intervention to relieve pain and restore function. The goal of this study is to describe the clinical outcomes of patients with femoral metastases at high risk of pathological fracture. Patients referred for treatment of femoral metastases at high risk of fracture will be followed prospectively after undergoing with surgery (± post-operative radiotherapy), or radiotherapy alone. Patient and disease characteristics, ambulatory status and limb function will be documented before treatment. These Clinical outcomes of participants in each treatment group will be measured 6 weeks after treatment, and 3- and 6 months after enrolment, with particular reference to patient-reported outcomes relating to pain, ambulatory status, limb function and quality of life.
NCT06977932
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), characterized by its refractory nature and recurrence, frequently leads to anxiety, depression, and insomnia, thereby significantly diminishing patients' quality of life and potentially inducing self-harm. Carbamazepine (CBZ) is the first-line medication for TN, yet it presents adverse effects such as addiction and the absence of analgesic effects upon cessation. Acupuncture, particularly electroacupuncture（EA）, has demonstrated efficacy in TN treatment, although its therapeutic outcomes are influenced by various factors. Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of EA for TN and its potential as an alternative to CBZ treatment.
NCT07326163
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of topically applied peppermint oil (Mentha × piperita) on chronic pain and functional capacity experienced by fibromyalgia patients, as well as its cost-effectiveness.
NCT04494672
The ADAPT system is a software that calculate a virtual 3D reconstruction of the femoral head without additional radiation. It automatically detects the used implant and its position relative to the femoral head, helping the surgeon to achieve an optimal proximal screw positioning in the femoral head. The investigators want to verify if with the addition of the ADAPT system the investigators can improve screw placement and reduce surgery time and radiation exposure.

NCT06849726
Childbirth is an intense physical and psychological experience. Epidural analgesia (EP) remains the gold standard in labor pain management. However, continuous refinements are aimed at enhancing analgesic quality and mitigating adverse effects. In recent years, the dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique has gained popularity. In this technique, the dura is intentionally punctured with a spinal needle before the epidural catheter is placed, but no intrathecal medication is administered. This historically controlled study evaluates the clinical outcomes of a protocol transition from standard high-dose epidural to low-dose DPE. The primary objective is to compare total analgesic consumption and success rates of labor analgesia between the two techniques. The secondary objectives include the assessment of hemodynamic parameters, motor block characteristics, adverse effects (such as paresthesia and hypotension), and overall maternal satisfaction
NCT06965504
The study will evaluate if Impella 5.5® support in heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients presenting with decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock will facilitate the initiation and optimization of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) during the hospital stay and post-discharge.
NCT07451925
Postoperative pain remains a significant clinical problem affecting recovery, mobilization, and patient satisfaction after surgery. Considerable interindividual variability exists in postoperative pain intensity even among patients undergoing the same surgical procedure. This variability may be influenced not only by the extent of surgical trauma but also by individual pain sensitivity and psychological factors such as preoperative anxiety. The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate whether pain intensity reported during routine venous cannulation and preoperative anxiety levels assessed by the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) can predict early postoperative pain severity in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Venous cannulation pain will be assessed using a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS), and anxiety levels will be measured preoperatively using APAIS. Postoperative pain will be evaluated at predefined time points within the first 12 hours after surgery using VAS scores and analgesic consumption. Identifying simple and easily obtainable preoperative predictors may allow individualized postoperative analgesic strategies for patients at higher risk of severe postoperative pain.
NCT07451158
Multicenter, double-blind, and randomized controlled trial of Ultra-Distal Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Device for Migraine treatment.
NCT07451418
This study will be conducted as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial with pregnant women who do not want or plan a pregnancy and do not intend to terminate it, and who apply for pregnancy examination at the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital in Turkey. Data will be collected at the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic of the Training and Research Hospital in Ağrı between March 2026 and June 2026. The study population will consist of pregnant women aged 18 to 45 who apply to the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic during the specified period, and who have an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy. The sample size was calculated using the GPower computer program. Using power analysis at the α=0.05 level, the effect size was calculated as 150, 153 (d=0.8) and the study power as 90%, indicating that at least 68 pregnant women should be included in the sample. Pregnant women who meet the research criteria and agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The study will use a pregnancy profile form prepared by the researcher in accordance with the literature, containing socio-demographic data of pregnant women who applied to the Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinic; the Self-Acceptance Scale for Pregnant Women (SAPS) to determine the pregnant woman's level of self-acceptance; the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to evaluate the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress; and the Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (SCI-S) to evaluate self-compassion.
NCT07452796
The Urgency, Severity, and Impact Questionnaire (USIQ) assesses urinary urgency independently of incontinence, measuring both symptom severity and its impact on quality of life. While validated in English and Hebrew populations, a Turkish version has not yet been developed. This study aims to adapt USIQ for the Turkish population and evaluate its psychometric properties, providing a standardized, culturally relevant tool for clinical and research use.
NCT06744049
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive within a year of unprotected intercourse. Infertility affects one in six couples and represents a public health problem causing feelings of helplessness, depression, and anxiety in both women and men worldwide. Despite the desire to become parents, up to 50% of infertile couples do not seek medical treatment, and 50-60% abandon treatment after two or three failed in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, even when the procedure is covered by insurance or public health. There are multiple reasons for this discontinuation; however, after removing cost considerations, psychological stress and poor prognoses represent the main reasons for stopping treatment. Clinical infertility treatments are generally ineffective. Success remains poor even with IVF, as evidenced by current live birth rates (LBRs) of only \~30% per initiated cycle. The primary challenge in ART lies mainly in the embryo implantation process, which remains the most significant bottleneck in IVF success, accounting for over 50% of ART failures. Embryo transfer (ET), the final step in IVF, has seen little technological advancement since its inception over four decades ago. The procedure is typically performed transcervically and largely relies in tactile sensation and operator's experience. Although a simple procedure, several potential negative factors may be linked to the low number of IVF pregnancies, including variations in catheter placement, the risk of uterine contractions and lack of control of intrauterine pressure and embryo placement can result in up to 15% of the transferred embryos being inadvertently expelled from the uterus. Therfore, ET's success is highly dependent on non-controllable variables as well as the skill and experience of the operator, resulting in significant inter-operator variability. Premium Fertility team has developed a controlled embryo transfer system - the Transfer Direct System (TDS) - that incorporates a visualization system to guide embryo delivery with the help of a fully automated microfluidic system that avoids initial phases of apposition and adhesion of implantation of human embryos. This technique places the embryo directly in the endometrial tissue, thereby minimizing the effects of embryo expulsion and potentially offering significant advantages such as the ability to visualize the uterine cavity through an endoscope at the time of embryo transfer and control the mechanics of the injection procedure to increase precision.
