NCT ID: NCT04238182 Recruiting - Smoking Clinical Trials

Short Term Effect of Interscapular Cupping on Chest Expansion in Sedentary Male Smokers

Start date: December 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Although cupping remains a popular treatment modality worldwide, its efficacy for most health issues has not been scientifically evaluated so further studies are needed . Claims of cardiac, vascular and respiratory protective role of inter-scapular (alkhil cupping). No studies investigated the acute effect of wet versus dry cupping - on an important cupping area like alkhil hence the importance of this study comes.

NCT ID: NCT04237974 Recruiting - Pulmonary Embolism Clinical Trials

Start date: April 20, 2021
Phase:

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious disease associated with high mortality rates despite advanced therapeutic options. The treatment options depend on the severity of the disease and the short - term mortality varies widely from 2 to 95%, depending on the severity of the condition

NCT ID: NCT04237961 Recruiting - Facial Palsy Clinical Trials

Ancillary Procedures in Patients of Refractory Facial Palsy Patients Selection and Evaluation of the Outcomes

Start date: January 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: There are numerous causes of facial palsy (FP), though hemifacial weakness is often generally termed Bell's palsy, named after the Scottish neurologist Charles Bell, who described sudden onset unilateral facial paralysis in 1821. Virally triggered, acute FP, to which the term Bell's palsy (BP) refers, is one of the most common, and fortunately the most likely condition to result in eventual return to premorbid status; 70% to 90% of patients recover spontaneously. Other causes of FP routinely result in poorer recovery, and the clinician must discern among these to formulate a treatment plan. In facial palsy, paralysis of muscles on the affected side of the face results in loss of forehead creases, loss of the nasolabial fold, lagophthalmos, brow droop, and drooping of the corner of the mouth. In contrast, muscles on the unaffected side of the face no longer have opposing forces. This may cause difficulty in articulation, eating, drinking, and is often cosmetically unacceptable to patients because of asymmetry, especially when speaking, smiling, and laughing. There are significant psychological effects as patients lack the confidence to carry out many daily activities in public, such as appearing in photographs. Although management is difficult, there are a range of reanimation options available. These include nerve grafts, muscle transfers, myofunctional approaches, and microsurgical patches usually for the more severe facial palsies (House-Brackmann grades 4 to 6). However, despite these procedures, facial symmetry may not improve.

NCT ID: NCT04233255 Recruiting - Ultrasound Clinical Trials

Role of Ultrasound in Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases

Start date: April 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study aims to provide a timely update on the role of combining clinical and neuromuscular ultrasound assessments in diagnosis and follow-up of various muscle diseases in clinical practice over 12 months period, and correlating US findings with functional scales, biochemical and electrophysiological studies.

NCT ID: NCT04230148 Recruiting - Fascioliasis Clinical Trials

Study of Safety, Tolerability and Clinical Outcomes of Egaten in Fascioliasis Patients (6 Years of Age or Older).

Start date: February 11, 2022
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is a multicenter, open label, non-comparative, single arm multi-country study in approximately 300 adult and pediatric subjects (≥ 6 years of age) with fascioliasis. The study population consists of male and female adult and pediatric patients (≥ 6 years of age). The study will enroll approximately 300 subjects with acute (minimum 15% of overall study population) or chronic fascioliasis. Enrolled subjects will receive two doses of 10 mg/kg of Egaten given approximately 12 hours apart. Subjects will be treated and followed up on an outpatient basis. After screening and post treatment, at Day 3 and Day 6 the subjects will be followed for safety and tolerability. These visits are primarily for safety follow up and may be telephonic or home visit by qualified personnel or onsite visits based on the investigator's discretion. During visits Day 10, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 90 post-treatment, the subjects will be followed for safety, tolerability and efficacy. On Day 15, Day 45 and Day 75, telephonic follow-up (primarily for safety) will be conducted.

NCT ID: NCT04222127 Recruiting - Gastric Varix Clinical Trials

EUS-guided Obturation of High Risk Gastric Varices Versus Standard Endoscopic Treatment

Start date: January 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Gastric varices occur in patients with portal hypertension, mostly secondary to liver cirrhosis. Although they bleed less frequently than oesophageal varices, gastric variceal bleeding tends to be more severe with reported higher mortality. Endoscopic variceal obliteration (EVO) by direct endoscopic injection (DEI) using tissue adhesives like glue, CYA or histoacryl demonstrated higher hemostasis and lower bleeding rates compared to band ligation or sclerotherapy. Nevertheless, CYA treatment is known to be associated with significant adverse events like para-variceal injection, hemorrhage from post injection ulcer, needle sticking in the varix, intra-peritoneal injection leading to peritonitis and adherence of the glue to the endoscope, fever, embolization into the renal vein, IVC, pulmonary or systemic vessels. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) offers unique access to abdominal arterial and venous vasculature. This has had the most clinical impact on the treatment of gastroesophageal varices, where EUS may play a role both in the management and can deliver therapy in the form of glue injection, endovascular coil placement or a combination of the two. EUS enables an assessment using Doppler to confirm vessel obliteration after treatment. However, targeting the perforating feeder vessel rather than the varix lumen itself may theoretically minimize the amount of CYA needed to achieve obliteration of GVs and thereby reduce the risk of embolization.

NCT ID: NCT04219462 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Effect of ESWT on ED in Type 2 Diabetics

Start date: December 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known not only for its widespread prevalence, but also for its significant complications including cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, renal failure, vision loss, and neuropathy. Of particular importance to sexual medicine, diabetes has also been strongly associated with erectile dysfunction (ED).ED is defined as the inability to obtain and/or maintain the erection firm enough to achieve a successful sexual intercourse on a regular basis. It is a more common condition in males with type 2 DM. In the field of sexual medicine numerous studies have shown that extracorporal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is safe, noninvasive, and, most importantly, an effective method for treating vascular ED
