In the presence of such complications, pregnancy is defined as a high-risk pregnancy, accounting for approximately 10-20% of all pregnancies. Due to the increased risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, high-risk pregnancies are considered a significant public health issue.\n\nAmong high-risk pregnancies, premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and particularly preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) are obstetric conditions associated with serious risks for maternal and perinatal outcomes. PPROM is responsible for a substantial proportion of preterm births and is associated with an increased risk of neonatal complications.\n\nDuring the course of PROM and PPROM, the latency period between membrane rupture and delivery constitutes a significant source of uncertainty and psychosocial burden for pregnant women. Factors such as prolonged hospitalization, risk of complications, and fear of fetal loss may lead to increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in this population.\n\nIn the face of intense stress and uncertainty, coping strategies emerge as an important determinant of psychological outcomes. Coping refers to the cognitive and behavioral efforts individuals employ to manage situations perceived as threatening and is generally classified into active and avoidant coping strategies. Avoidant coping strategies have been associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression, whereas adaptive coping strategies are reported to enhance psychological resilience.\n\nMaternal psychological status may influence not only the mother's mental health but also fetal well-being. In this context, the non-stress test (NST) is an important tool for evaluating fetal autonomic nervous system function and allows monitoring of the relationship between maternal psychological status and fetal physiological responses. However, findings regarding the relationship between maternal anxiety and depression and NST parameters remain inconsistent.\n\nCurrent clinical management of PROM and PPROM primarily focuses on preventing obstetric complications, while the maternal psychological dimension often remains secondary. Therefore, safe and feasible non-pharmacological interventions during pregnancy have gained increasing attention.\n\nEmotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and music therapy are among the non-pharmacological interventions shown to be effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy. However, no studies have been identified in the literature evaluating the effects of these interventions on maternal psychological status, coping strategies, and fetal well-being in high-risk pregnancy groups such as PROM and PPROM. Therefore, randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate the effects of EFT and music therapy on maternal psychological status, coping strategies, and fetal well-being in pregnant women diagnosed with PPROM.",[189,190,191],"Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM)","Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM)","High-Risk Pregnancy",[193,194,191,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,202],"Emotional Freedom Technique","Music Therapy","PPROM","Maternal Mental Health","Anxiety","Depression","Stress","Coping Strategies","Non-Stress Test","Fetal Well-Being","2026-04-26",{"date":173,"type":38},{"date":206,"type":22},"2026-06-01",{"date":208,"type":22},"2027-03",{"name":44,"class":45},{"id":211,"slug":212,"hasResults":12,"nctId":213,"briefTitle":214,"officialTitle":215,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":216,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":54,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":217,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":219,"briefSummary":220,"conditions":221,"keywords":226,"overallStatus":34,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":203,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":230,"startDateStruct":231,"completionDateStruct":233,"leadSponsor":234,"locationsCount":75},"100635339","effects-of-music-therapy-breathing-exercises-and-virtual-reality-on-obstetric-recovery-pain-and-gastrointestinal-symptoms-after-cesarean-section-100635339","NCT07551401","Effects of Music Therapy, Breathing Exercises, and Virtual Reality on Obstetric Recovery, Pain, and Gastrointestinal Symptoms After Cesarean Section","Comparative Investigation of the Effects of Music Therapy, Breathing Exercises, and Virtual Reality Application on Obstetric Recovery, Pain, and Gastrointestinal Symptoms Following Cesarean Section: A Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women aged 18 years and older\n* Able to speak and understand Turkish\n* Gestational age between 37 and 42 weeks\n* Undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia\n* Able to communicate and willing to participate\n* No major intraoperative or early postoperative complications (within 0-12 hours), such as severe hemorrhage (\\>1000 mL), anesthesia-related cardiorespiratory complications, major surgical complications, wound dehiscence, sepsis, or need for intensive care\n* No visual or hearing impairments\n* Having a live, healthy, singleton newborn\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Passage of flatus before the intervention\n* Presence of any diagnosed medical condition during pregnancy\n* Development of maternal postpartum complications such as postpartum hemorrhage (\\>1000 mL), infection, wound dehiscence, sepsis, thromboembolism, or need for intensive care\n* Presence of neonatal complications such as neonatal distress requiring intensive care, congenital anomalies, severe respiratory distress, infection, or perinatal mortality\n* History of chronic pain, gastrointestinal disease, or respiratory disease\n* Diagnosed and treated psychiatric disorders",{"count":218,"type":22},192,[25],"Cesarean section is a common surgical procedure performed to deliver a baby when vaginal birth may pose risks to the mother or infant. Although it is often life-saving, recovery after cesarean section is frequently associated with multiple physical and psychological challenges, including postoperative pain, delayed gastrointestinal function, reduced mobility, fatigue, and decreased overall well-being. These factors may negatively affect a woman's ability to care for her newborn, initiate breastfeeding, and adapt to the postpartum period.\n\nIn recent years, there has been increasing interest in non-pharmacological interventions that can safely support postoperative recovery without causing additional side effects. Among these, music therapy, breathing exercises, and virtual reality applications have been identified as promising approaches. Music therapy may promote relaxation and reduce pain and anxiety through auditory stimulation and emotional regulation. Breathing exercises may enhance parasympathetic activity, improve oxygenation, reduce stress, and support gastrointestinal motility. Virtual reality applications, by providing immersive audiovisual experiences, may reduce pain perception, decrease anxiety, and improve overall comfort through distraction and relaxation mechanisms.\n\nAlthough these interventions have individually demonstrated beneficial effects in postoperative care, the existing literature is limited in directly comparing their relative effectiveness within the same study design. Furthermore, most studies have primarily focused on pain outcomes, while other important aspects of recovery, such as obstetric recovery quality and gastrointestinal symptoms, have received less attention.\n\nThis randomized controlled trial aims to comparatively investigate the effects of music therapy, breathing exercises, and virtual reality application on obstetric recovery, pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms in women following cesarean section. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups or a control group receiving routine care.

Depending on lesion localization and disease severity, individuals with MS may develop a wide range of neurological manifestations affecting motor and sensory functions.\n\nCurrent evidence indicates that pulmonary function impairments may occur in individuals with MS even in the absence of overt respiratory symptoms. Compared with healthy individuals, people with MS have been reported to exhibit significantly reduced values in several respiratory parameters, particularly respiratory muscle strength. Moreover, these reductions appear to become more pronounced in parallel with increasing Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores, regardless of disease duration. Indeed, previous studies have demonstrated that even individuals with MS who have mild disability levels (EDSS 0-4.5) experience significant declines in respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and functional exercise capacity compared with healthy controls.\n\nThese findings suggest that the respiratory system may be affected not only in the advanced stages of MS but also during the early phases of the disease, with functional impairments emerging before clinically evident respiratory complaints arise. Despite this, the existing literature lacks studies that define clear, clinically applicable cut-off values for respiratory muscle strength and endurance that can discriminate disability levels in individuals with MS. This gap highlights the absence of objective criteria that clinicians can rely on for early detection and for planning targeted rehabilitation interventions.\n\nThe present study aims to address this gap by identifying optimal cut-off points for respiratory muscle strength and endurance in individuals with MS to facilitate early and accurate discrimination of disability status. By doing so, this research seeks to make an original contribution to the literature. The findings are expected to support the standardization of respiratory assessment processes in clinical practice, thereby improving patient quality of life and enhancing the efficiency of healthcare services.

One of the methods used for the comprehensive evaluation of these functions is the Five-Repetition Sit-to-Stand (5STS) test, which is considered an effective tool for assessing lower extremity strength, balance, and functional mobility in both healthy individuals and various clinical populations. In this test, participants are required to consecutively stand up from and sit down on a chair five times without using their arms, and the completion time is recorded in seconds to objectively evaluate functional capacity. Due to its simplicity, low cost, and high reliability, the 5STS test is widely used in clinical and research settings.\n\nHowever, functional tests administered in conventional clinical environments may be insufficiently standardized due to factors such as examiner-related variability, measurement errors, and environmental influences. This limitation makes it difficult to detect small performance differences and restricts test repeatability. In recent years, rapidly advancing virtual reality (VR) technology has contributed to overcoming these limitations by offering the potential to digitally standardize measurement processes. VR systems, which recreate real-life scenarios in a three-dimensional and interactive manner, allow for a more comprehensive and objective assessment of motor performance. In addition, by increasing user interaction and reducing observer-related errors, VR enhances clinical validity. One study has reported that the most important advantage of VR in clinical balance assessments is its ability to provide a fully controllable, repeatable, and standardized environment. Similarly, a systematic review found that VR-based exercises resulted in significant improvements in motor skills, balance, and cognitive function, while increasing user engagement and motivation and thereby contributing to more effective rehabilitation outcomes.\n\nCurrent literature indicates that VR technology is increasingly being utilized in physiotherapy and exercise sciences. In one study, the validity and feasibility of a VR adaptation of the Wingate Anaerobic Test were investigated, and it was reported that the VR version produced performance outcomes comparable to the conventional test, while participant satisfaction was significantly higher with the VR-based method. Likewise, another study demonstrated that the VR adaptation of the Six-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test exhibited high levels of validity and reliability. Together, these studies indicate that VR-based functional tests are both feasible and clinically consistent.\n\nDespite this, no studies to date have examined the validity and reliability of the Five-Repetition Sit-to-Stand test in an immersive VR environment for assessing lower extremity function. Therefore, the present study aims to determine the validity, reliability, and feasibility of a virtual reality-based Five-Repetition Sit-to-Stand test (5STS-VR) developed on the Meta Quest 3 platform in asymptomatic young adults.

For this purpose, performance-based tests that can be administered in a short time, are easily repeatable, and have high clinical practicality are widely preferred. These tests provide valuable information about older adults' ability to perform activities of daily living, levels of functional independence, and risk of falls, thereby contributing significantly to both diagnostic processes and treatment planning.\n\nOne of these tests, the 4-Meter Walk Test (4MWT), is among the simplest and most reliable methods used to assess walking speed in older adults. Gait speed is considered a strong indicator of functional capacity and overall health status in older individuals and is also used as a critical parameter for predicting mortality, morbidity, hospitalization rates, and duration of independent living. Therefore, due to its short administration time, high repeatability, and clinical validity, the 4MWT has become one of the standard assessment tools in the field of geriatrics.\n\nAnother frequently used assessment tool, the Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test (5xSTS), is based on measuring the time required for an individual to consecutively stand up from and sit down on a chair five times. This test is closely associated with lower extremity muscle strength, functional independence, and the ability to maintain activities of daily living. In addition, the 5xSTS test is an important clinical tool for identifying muscle weakness and mobility limitations in older adults with a history of falls. Owing to its short administration time, lack of requirement for specialized equipment, and ease of understanding, it is widely used in both clinical settings and field studies.\n\nIn addition, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is considered one of the gold standard methods for the assessment of functional mobility. The test is simple to administer: the time required for an individual to stand up from a chair, walk a specified distance, turn around, and return to sit down is measured. The TUG test not only assesses mobility but is also a reliable and valid method for predicting balance impairments and fall risk. Given that falls represent a major health concern in older adults, data obtained from the TUG test provide valuable guidance for both clinicians and researchers.\n\nIn recent years, virtual reality (VR)-based assessment methods have attracted increasing attention due to their potential to provide a safe, motivating, and standardized environment, particularly for older adults. In this study, the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset and controllers will be used to implement VR-based functional tests. The Meta Quest 3 device features a resolution of 2064 × 2208 pixels per eye, a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DoF) inside-out tracking system. The device tracks participants' head and body movements in real time and accurately reflects them within the virtual environment. This system does not require external sensors and automatically provides positional tracking in the virtual space. Previous studies have demonstrated that VR applications can produce valid and reliable outcomes when used as digital adaptations of functional tests. However, the validity and reliability of VR adaptations of the 4MWT, 5xSTS, and TUG tests in older adults have not yet been systematically investigated.\n\nThe rationale of this study is to determine whether VR-based short performance tests can serve as a safer, more easily repeatable, and potentially more accessible alternative to conventional clinical assessments. The findings of this study are expected to provide important evidence supporting the use of VR technology in clinical practice for the assessment of mobility and balance in older adults.",[121,452],[473,121,228,474,475,94,476],"Older Adults","4-Meter Walk Test","Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test","Validity and Reliability",{"date":410,"type":38},{"date":412,"type":22},{"date":416,"type":22},{"name":44,"class":45},{"id":482,"slug":483,"hasResults":12,"nctId":484,"briefTitle":485,"officialTitle":486,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":487,"healthyVolunteers":53,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":374,"enrollmentInfo":488,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":85,"phases":4,"briefSummary":489,"conditions":490,"keywords":491,"overallStatus":34,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":456,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":492,"startDateStruct":493,"completionDateStruct":494,"leadSponsor":495,"locationsCount":75},"100620775","virtual-reality-based-timed-up-and-go-test-in-young-adults-100620775","NCT07362004","Virtual Reality-Based Timed Up and Go Test in Young Adults","Validity and Reliability of an Immersive Virtual Reality Adaptation of the Timed Up and Go Test in Asymptomatic Young Adults","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Aged between 18 and 30 years,\n* Asymptomatic, with no musculoskeletal, neurological, or cardiovascular symptoms,\n* Ability to perform activities of daily living independently,\n* Visual, auditory, and vestibular functions suitable for virtual reality applications,\n* Ability to understand and follow instructions in Turkish,\n* Willingness to participate voluntarily in the study.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* History of lower extremity injury, surgical intervention, or serious musculoskeletal condition within the past six months,\n* Presence of vestibular disorders, balance impairment, visual or hearing impairments,\n* Experiencing symptoms of \"VR sickness,\" such as nausea, dizziness, or spatial disorientation during virtual reality applications,\n* History of neurological, cardiovascular, or metabolic diseases,\n* Regular participation in heavy exercise or professional sports activities,\n* Cognitive impairment that prevents understanding of test instructions,\n* Voluntary withdrawal from the study during the research process.",{"count":21,"type":22},"Functional mobility encompasses the essential motor skills required for individuals to perform activities of daily living independently and safely. One of the most commonly used methods for assessing this parameter is the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The TUG test involves standing up from a chair, walking, turning, walking back three meters, and sitting down, and it is a measurement tool that has demonstrated high sensitivity and reliability in clinical practice for evaluating lower extremity function, mobility, and fall risk.\n\nHowever, tests conducted in conventional clinical settings have limitations in terms of standardization due to examiner-related variability, environmental influences, and measurement subjectivity. These factors may lead to measurement errors, particularly when detecting small performance differences. Advances in virtual reality (VR) technology offer an innovative approach to the assessment and training of motor performance by recreating real-life scenarios in a three-dimensional and interactive manner. VR-based systems allow simultaneous observation of motor and cognitive processes while enhancing user motivation and engagement, thereby making the assessment process more dynamic. Recent studies have demonstrated that VR applications are effective tools in neurological rehabilitation, particularly in conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), for improving balance, walking speed, and functional mobility.\n\nA review of the existing literature reveals that studies evaluating the validity and reliability of VR-based functional tests are limited. Moreover, to date, no study has specifically focused on the validity and reliability of the TUG test in an immersive VR environment for assessing lower extremity functional mobility.
