There are about 9704 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of GTX-102 in participants with Angelman Syndrome (AS)
This clinical trial will test the efficacy of parent-delivered DreamChanger Intervention in combination with Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) for reducing the frequency and severity of nightmares in children aged 3-10. Children will be randoimized to either the combined intervention or to a waitlist control group.The intervention will include providing children with the DreamChanger remote, and providing parents with instructional videos, explaining how to use the device along with the IRT strategy to address nightmares. At baseline, mid-treatment, and post-treatment, parents in both groups will complete questionnaires asking about the child's nightmares, sleep, externalizing and internalizing symptoms, PTSD symptoms, demographic characteristics, and parent sleep and distress. Parents in the intervention group will also be asked to complete questionnaires regarding their compliance and satisfaction with the intervention, as well as a 3-month follow-up assessment.
This is an open-label trial in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The trial will evaluate the safety, clinical activity, and pharmacokinetics of the study drug, namodenoson, in this group of patients.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease.
The RUSH protocol has been used for several years for the rapid evaluation of a patient admitted to the emergency room with shock. Traditionally, its use was especially common in trauma victims, but later its use was extended to patients admitted to the emergency room with shock from any reason. The protocol includes rapid assessment with the guideness of ultrasound of heart contraction, assessment for pleural effusions, assessment of intra-abdominal blood (FAST), diagnosis of venous thrombosis (DVT), and rulling out hydronephrosis. It can also add a pupil size assessment and an evaluation of the gallbladder and bile ducts, as well as the size of the bladder. In intensive care, we use this protocol (or part of it) for the evaluation of a patient who is deteriorating in the ICU for an unknown reason . In some patients we use this protocol as a routine part of the physical examination as part of the daily patient evaluation. We would like to investigate whether the routine use of the RUSH protocol as part of the daily patient evaluation in the general intensive care unit will lead to any change in the patient's management.
The REFORM-HF study aims to test a new technology, AquaPass, designed to assist patients experiencing symptoms of fluid overload due to Heart Failure. Patients will wear a lightweight suit that helps remove excess fluids through their sweat. The investigators want to see if the AquaPass system can remove an additional 500mL of fluids during treatment, alongside patients' regular medications like diuretics. Participants will select if to be treated at their home or in the outpatient clinic.
A randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of an app-assisted vestibular rehabilitation in increasing adherence to VR and treatment outcomes
Insertion of intravenous catheter is a very common operation in patients in the general intensive care unit. These catheters are used for a variety of purposes - administration of inotropics/pressors, intravenous nutrition, concentrated electrolytes and performing dialysis.There are several known complications of central venous catheter insertion, such as thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. In a literature review, there are no clear data regarding the rate of intravenous thrombosis in patients after removal of a central venous catheter. These findings are often discovered randomly, when the patient undergoes imaging for a different indication. There is no recommendation for an active search for intravenous thrombi at the catheter insertion sites in these patients, and it is not entirely clear whether it is mandatory to administer anticoagulant treatment in these patients if thrombi are randomly discovered at the catheter insertion sites. In this study, we aim to check the proportion of patients who developed thrombosis at the central catheter insertion sites after its removal, to check whether there are catheter insertion sites that are at a higher risk of developing thrombosis than other sites, and to check whether there are predictive characteristics for the development of this type of thrombosis.
In recent years there is a great interest in the possible role of Oxytocin (OT) as a facilitator for enhancing psychotherapeutic processes in patients with mental illnesses. Specific studies explored OT administration to patients, and the effect on psychotherapy on interaction within the therapeutic dyad. Nonetheless, studies exploring OT's effects of the therapists' side of the therapeutic dyad on the psychotherapy session and outcome, have not been conducted. The current study aims to assess the effect of OT administration to the therapists of psychiatric outpatients, on treatment process and outcome and specifically on the patient and therapist experience of the attunement and responsiveness toward the patient in the therapeutic encounter. Twenty staff members from Teradion Mental health Clinic of Clalit Health Services will be recruited, as well as 100 patients treated by these staff members. Therapists agreeing to participate will receive OT and PLC in a random order, at the same day they are seeing the same patients and the consecutive week. Patients agreeing to participate will complete a demographic questionnaire and all study measures, and will be scheduled to perform two consecutive research sessions with their therapists. The therapist will receive either OT or PLC in each of these two sessions, and right after the session the patients will complete the assessment scales. Multilevel models will be performed by the investigators to assess the effects of OT administration in therapists receiving OT versus receiving placebo. This research will be performed in accordance with ethical principles of Helsinki WMA Declaration. This study is the first to assess the effectiveness of hormonal augmentation for therapists and its influence on therapeutic process with patients suffering from acute distress in the public mental health domain.
Non-blinded prospective randomized study. 100 women diagnosed with early pregnancy loss up to 10 gestational weeks who opted for surgical management (after being offered the options of conservative management and medical treatment) will be recruited. Qualifying patients will sign an informed consent form and will be randomly assigned to the two arms of the study: 1. Surgical uterine evacuation by the traditional ultrasound-guided suction curettage (control group) 2. Surgical uterine evacuation by operative hysteroscopy using a tissue removal device (study group). The surgical procedure will be determined randomly by computer generated allocation. All surgical procedures will be performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgical suite. The operative time, operative blood loss and intraoperative complications will be recorded by the research team. Following the surgical procedure, the patients will be monitored and discharged home as per our department's day-surgery protocol. Immediate post-operative complications will be recorded until discharge. One week after the procedure, a telephone interview will be conducted to assess any procedure-related complications. A diagnostic hysteroscopy without anesthesia will be scheduled 6 weeks postoperatively to assess for retained products of conception and for intrauterine adhesions. The diagnostic hysteroscopy will be performed by a practitioner who will be blinded to the type of surgery performed. 6 months after the procedure, a telephone questionnaire will be conducted to assess for subsequent pregnancies.
