Where does OCRA's clinical trial data come from?

OCRA indexes clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov, the official U.S. registry maintained by the National Library of Medicine. Trials are matched to diseases, investigators, and funded research tracked across the platform.

How do I find clinical trials for ovarian cancer?

Search by condition, treatment type, trial phase, or NCT identifier. Each trial page shows current status, eligibility criteria, study locations, and a direct link to the ClinicalTrials.gov source record.

How often is clinical trial data updated?

Trial data is refreshed through periodic ingestion from the ClinicalTrials.gov v2 API. Status changes, new enrollments, and newly registered trials are captured during each update cycle.

Effect of Stress Ball Use on Anxiety Level During Endometrial Biopsy Procedure

NCT06171581UNKNOWNNAINTERVENTIONAL

Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of stress ball application on the anxiety level during the endometrial biopsy procedure. This research is planned as a randomised controlled study. Place and time of the research: The research is planned with patients who will undergo endometrial biopsy procedure in Zonguldak Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to the Ministry of Health. While there are various experimental studies in the literature on the effect of stress ball on anxiety during many painful procedures, there is no study in the literature on the effect of stress ball on anxiety level during endometrial biopsy procedure (Akarsu, Kuş \& Akarsu 2021, Genç 2021Nurdina, Anggraini \& Novyanda 2022, Srivarsan, Sridevi \& Preetha 2021, Yanks et al. 2018,) In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of stress ball application on anxiety level during endometrial biopsy procedure

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

"State and Trait Anxiety Scale"

The state and trait anxiety scale consists of two parts and contains a total of 40 questions. The first 20 questions of the scale measure state anxiety, and the last 20 questions measure trait anxiety. The results of the state anxiety section of the scale will be used in this research. The State Anxiety Scale requires the individual to describe how he or she feels at a particular moment and under certain circumstances.

Time frame: before and after the biopsy procedure(1-2 minutes before and 1-2 minutes after biopsy procedure)

"Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)" ( min 0- max 10)

It constitutes another parameter for measuring the stress level.

Time frame: before and after the biopsy (1-2 minutes before and 1-2 minutes after biopsy procedure)

blood pressure ( systolic and diastolic) mm/ hg

The aim is to determine the changes caused by stress on blood pressure before and after the procedure.

Time frame: before and after the biopsy (1-2 minutes before and 1-2 minutes after biopsy procedure)
