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 vestibular system in the inner year is an important system in the body which is responsible for balance. In addition, there is evidence that the vestibular system plays a role in maintaining blood pressure while changing body position, such as moving from lying down in bed to sitting. Dysfunction of the vestibular system may affect the ability to maintain blood pressure, therefore the aim of this study is to assess if a specific problem in the vestibular system (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo- BPPV) may cause changes in the interaction between the vestibular system and the cardiovascular system. We assume that patients with this medical condition (BPPV) will have different heart rate parameters in comparison with healthy patients.
Psoriasis in a systemic disease that effects many systems of the body. few studies examined the hearing function of these patients but the results were inconclusive. No study, however, investigated the vestibular function of psoriatic patients. In a prospective study, the investigators will compare audiovestibular function between psoriatic patients and healthy volunteers. .
Scientific background: Uncontrolled gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with severe maternal and neonatal morbidities. Treatment of GDM is multidisciplinary and includes lifestyle changes and medications. However, the efficacy of these treatments is limited due to poor motivation, daily painful blood tests and multiple injections. Probiotic supplements were shown to modulate the gut microbiome by reducing the adverse metabolic effects associated with pathogenic microbial colonization. Promising effects on glycemic control and insulin resistance in non-pregnant diabetic patients were reported. However, the effect of probiotics on glycemic control in GDM has not been elucidated. Objectives: To examine the effect of a mixture of probiotic strains given daily on maternal glycemic parameters, and pregnancy outcomes among women with GDM. Working hypothesis: Oral administration of probiotics will be effective in glucose control of patients with GDM and their neonates without causing significant adverse effects. Type of research and methods of data collection: A prospective randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial. Women newly diagnosed with GDM will be recruited and followed in the GDM clinic and Maternal-Fetal Medicine ward (including the research clinic) at Emek Medical Center. They will be divided into a research group, receiving the probiotic formula Femina II and a control group, receiving a placebo (2 capsules/day) until delivery. Glycemic control will be evaluated by daily glucose charts. After 2 weeks of diet and probiotic/placebo treatment and thereafter, pharmacotherapy will be started in case of poor glycemic control according to the daily glucose charts. Blood tests for glycated molecules will be performed. Fetal well-being and growth will be assessed. The primary outcomes are: 1. The rate of women requiring medications for glycemic control 2. Mean value of the mean daily glucose charts after 2 weeks of treatment with the study products.
The aim of this study is to report the clinical presentation, Microbiological, laboratory and imaging evaluation, prothrombotic factors analysis, medical and surgical management and outcomes in children with Otogenic Cerebral Sinus Vein Thrombosis (CSVT).
The study purpose is to collect images and user feedback from the Next Generation Venue Ultrasound system, components, and accessories under clinical conditions, as required for device development and optimization.
Phase 3 efficacy and safety study to evaluate acoramidis (AG10) HCl 800 mg administered orally twice a day compared to placebo in subjects with symptomatic Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
This study was a Phase III,A two-part (double-blind placebo-controlled/open-label) multicenter study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
Caesarean section (CS) is the commonest major operation performed on women worldwide with progressively rising incidence. Consequently, long-term adverse sequelae due to uterine scar defect have been increasing. Given the association between uterine scar defect and gynecological symptoms, obstetric complications and potentially with subfertility, it is important to elucidate the etiology in order to develop preventive strategies. Surgical technique of uterine incision closure seems to be the most important determinant of defect formation. The aim of this prospective randomized study is to evaluate specifically the influence of inclusion versus exclusion of the endometrium during suturing the uterine incision on the risk to develop uterine scar defect.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCR-PHXC in Children and Adults with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) and Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 2 (PH2)
This study is a prospective, randomized, open-label, two arms, clinical study aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with Hyper-CL™ lens + Antibiotics compared with treatment with Antibiotics only, in subjects with Bacterial keratitis. The design of the Hyper-CL™ lens increases contact time of the antibiotics on the cornea enabling increased bioavailability of the active drug.
