There are about 9745 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.

COVID 19 is a novel and severe disease. One of the problems is that the virus disturbs the lungs and cause water accumulation in lungs alveolus (ARDS). Today, a chest X-ray is the only practical way to check the degree of lung accumulation. However, X-Ray has many limitations and disadvantages. Lung impedance technology allows simple lung fluid monitoring, and found to be effective in HF patients who suffer from a similar problem. The study's aim is to establish a correlation between lung fluid assessed by impedance technique and x-ray examinations. To find a correlation between lung fluid assessment by impedance and clinical parameters of COVID 19 patients.
Low serum L-arginine (Arg) and high asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) can predict microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The investigators examined whether or not Arg and ADMA are affected by dietary factors or lifestyle modification in overweight/ obese and T2DM subjects.
Bell's palsy [BP] is defined as acute idiopathic peripheral facial palsy or paralysis. Additional symptoms frequently include pain around or behind the ear, impaired tolerance to ordinary levels of noise and disturbed sense of taste on the same side. It affects men and women more or less equally. There is a consensus in the literature regarding the importance of steroid treatment for improving recovery rates and sequela of BP. Moreover, there is increasing level of high quality of evidence in recent years for a combined antiviral and steroids treatment for severe BP (House Brackmann [HB] 5-6). Adverse effects (AEs) were reported in 1-12% of patients treated with steroids, antivirals or placebo. The AEs reported were dyspepsia, loss of blood sugar control, headache, fatigue, dizziness and insomnia, recurrent duodenal ulcers, mood swings, and acute psychosis. All effects resolved when treatment was stopped. Although steroid and antivirals are widely used for BP, there is a high variability of steroids treatment, both in the dosage given and in the way of tapering down. Among the different steroid regimens used were: prednisone 1 mg/kg for 5 days tapered to 10 mg/day for remaining 5 days; prednisone (1 mg/kg for 10 days then tapered to zero over the next 6 days); prednisolone 60 mg for 5 days, 30 mg for 3 days, and 10 mg for 2 days. House-Brackmann (HB) system is widely used for facial function assessment. It is based on a six-grade score, where grade I is normal function, grade VI is complete absence of facial motor function, and grades II to V are intermediate. Steroid-induced side effects generally require tapering of the drug as soon as the disease being treated is under control. Tapering must be done carefully to avoid both recurrent activity of the underlying disease and possible cortisol deficiency resulting from hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) suppression. However, according to a review by Furst et al (2019), a patient who has received any dose of glucocorticoid for less than 3 weeks or patients treated with alternate-day prednisone at a dose of less than 10 mg (or its equivalent) are unlikely for HPA suppression. They concluded that short-term glucocorticoid therapy (up to three weeks), even if at a fairly high dose, can simply be stopped and need not to be tapered.. According to the above, the investigators assume that a rapid withdrawal of steroids after short course of treatment for BP should neither influence the efficacy or safety of treatment. Finally, steroid regimen may be hard to follow for some patients and can results in confusion and frustration. Simplifying steroid regimen, such as skipping withdrawal if not necessary, may solve this problem. The objective of our study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of prednisone treatment with no tapering down for Bell's Palsy.
Surfactant administration via thin catheter using a specially adapted video laryngoscope - a prospective, multicenter trial, assessing the feasibility of the VISUAL method (Video Surfactant Administration Laryngoscopy). The study will search for the number of attempts until surfactant is administrated, assessment of the infants' stability during the procedure, duration of the entire procedure, form laryngoscope insertion to surfactant administration.
Hydrocele is a condition of fluid retention around the testes, which causes swallowing, pain, with interfering with the normal testes function. however, during activity, this can interfere with everyday activity (running, sexual intercourse). The treatment for hydrocele I surgical. The study aim to test the safety and efficacy of the Ligasure (r) device for cutting and coagulating tissues during hydrocelectomy.
This study is undertaken to explore in T2D, the effect of meal timing on serum induced SIRT1 and Clock Genes mRNA expression in cultured hepatocytes. Fasting serum samples were collected from T2D participants, following two different meal timing schedules, either a diet with large breakfast and lunch with small dinner Breakfast Diet (3Mdiet) or an isocaloric diet with 6 small meals evenly distributed along the day Allday Diet (6Mdiet). The researchers will use an ex-vivo/in-vitro approach in which cultured medium will be conditioned with the fasted human serum collected from the two groups of T2D participants at baseline, after 2 weeks and after 12 week of the diet intervention.
To address the critical need in crisis intervention for children and adolescents at suicidal risk the investigators developed an ultra-brief acute crisis intervention, based on Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). The current adaptation of IPT-A is comprised of five weekly sessions, followed by monthly follow-up caring email contacts to the patients and their parents, over a period of three months.
