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.
The addition of probiotics to the routine therapy of Acute Pharyngotonsillitis in adult patients may shorten the duration, and reduce the severity of the disease.
This study compares the effectiveness of cervical preparation before second trimester abortion using laminaria versus vaginal Misoprostol. The investigators hypothesize that medical preparation of the cervix with vaginal Misoprostol is superior to mechanical preparation using laminaria. The investigators believe that medical preparation makes the procedure easier to perform, equally safe, without addition of pain or discomfort.
A prospective open randomized study conducted between July 1st 2008 and June 30th, 2009. Included were children younger than 14 years with Complicated appendicitis randomly assigned either to a single daily dose of Ceftriaxone and Metronidazole or Ampicillin, Gentamicin, and Metronidazole. The outcome variables compared were: maximum daily temperatures, overall duration of fever, time return to oral intake, length of antibiotic therapy, results of repeat WBC measure, general/intra abdominal complications, need for intra abdominal abscess drainage, Length of stay and adverse reaction.
to determine the effectivness of intravitreal avastin injection on visual acuity on people that suffer from central retinal vein occlusion
The primary objective of the study is to confirm that at least 1 or more doses of telotristat etiprate compared to placebo is effective in reducing the number of daily bowel movements (BMs) from baseline averaged over the 12-week double-blind portion (Treatment Period) of the trial in patients not adequately controlled by current SSA therapy.
This was a 2-part, Phase I/IIa, multi-center, open label, study in pediatric and adolescent patients with advanced BRAF V600 mutation-positive solid tumors. Part 1 was a dose escalation study in patients with any BRAF V600 mutation-positive solid tumor using a modified Rolling 6 Design (RSD). Part 2 was an expansion study to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of dabrafenib in 4 tumor-specific pediatric populations. Patients participated in only either part 1 or part 2 of the study.
Hypotheses The investigators hypothesize that among individuals who suffer from panic disorder there is higher incidence of co-morbid balance impairment than in the healthy population. The investigators hypothesize that the treatment of panic disorder, through the treatment of co-morbid balance impairment using virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy environment, is more effective than the exposure to still pictures from the same scene in VR without balance challenge or comparing to standard cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for the treatment of panic disorder. Rationale This research relies on previous studies, which have shown mutuality between anxiety and balance impairment, even if only sub-clinical. The VR-based training environment enables multi-sensorial stimulus in a dynamic interactively changing setting. With the addition of a cognitive task (dual task distracting the fear), the investigators can add cognitive load and therefore challenge the control of balance even more. Individuals who suffer from balance impairment avoid their exposure to many balance-challenging situations - a fact that may increase their anxiety. The investigators assume that a considerable number of PD individuals also experience balance control impairments - mostly subclinical ones. Moreover, balance impairment accompanies other psychiatric disorders, though not enough literature exists on the subject.
To establish the efficacy of screening for anemia and treatment of mild anemia with iron and vitamins prior to THR and TKR as a means of increasing hemoglobin and reducing perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion.
In this Phase II study a dose of 2.8 mg (eight 0.35 mg siG12D-LODERs) will be administered in 12-week cycles to patients with unresectable or borderline resectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer combined with chemotherapy treatment. Primary Outcome: - ORR at 6 months.
The aim of this study was to quantify the Intraocular Pressure (IOP) changes in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy at different time points and body positions throughout the procedure, and to explore the influence of perioperative fluid management on the fluctuations of IOP during perioperative period.
