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.
This is a first feasibility study in order to test if deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment with high frequency (10Hz) will improve the symptoms of patient MCI (Mild Cognitive impairment). The hypothesis of the study is that high frequency treatment with deep TMS will improve the daily functioning of patients who suffers from MCI.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Azimilide on the incidence of cardiovascular hospitalizations, cardiovascular emergency department visits or cardiovascular death in patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
Study A0081106 is a 12-month open-label study to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of pregabalin as add-on therapy in pediatric subjects 1 month to 16 years of age with partial onset seizures and pediatric and adult subjects 5 to 65 years of age with primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Pregabalin will be administered in equally divided daily doses for 1 year, in either capsule or liquid oral formulation.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Contour I VER 3.1 System on abdominal midsection circumference reduction relative to no treatment. The secondary objective of this study is to assess subject satisfaction measured with a self-assessment questionnaire
This study is an open-label extension (OLE) trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of etrolizumab in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who were enrolled in the Phase II Study ABS4986g (NCT01336465) and meet the eligibility criteria for entry in the OLE study.
Polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (ω3 PUFAs) are essential nutrients. Studies indicate that the incidence of Major Depression (MD) is inversely related to the consumption of fish (which are rich in ω3-PUFAs) and to the concentration of ω3 PUFAs in the plasma or Red Blood Cell (RBC) membranes. In several studies, the ω6 to ω3 ratio was elevated (ω6 PUFAs are pro-inflammatory, compared to ω3). ω3 PUFAs are also inversely associated with anxiety and neuroticism but apparently not with somatization. Supplementation of fish oil alleviates joint pain in patients with auto-immune disease. Inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines (which induce both pain and depression-like symptoms) by ω3 PUFAs may underlie the benefit conferred by fish oil consumption . RBC ω3 PUFA content is lower in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and chronic fatigue syndrome, compared to healthy controls. The ω3 PUFA status of fibromyalgia patients has not been assessed. Magnesium is an essential nutrient and plays a regulatory role in neural transmission. It is not known whether magnesium concentration is associated with pain in humans. The objectives of the current study are to 1) compare the mean RBC omega-3 content in female fibromyalgia patients compared to that of healthy controls and female SLE patients, and to 2) assess the correlation between RBC omega-3 content and between the severity of physical (e.g. pain) and mental (e.g. depression) in fibromyalgia and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
The study is an open-label extension study, offering patients who participated and completed previous studies 901 and 910 (an extension to 901) to continue treatment with DiaPep277 and clinical follow-up, for up to 3 additional years.The aim of the study is to collect safety and efficacy data of long term treatment effect of Diapep277.Only patients who completed studies 901 or 910 and still have stimulated C-peptide level equal to or above 0.2 nmol/L will be eligible for this extension study
The diagnosis and management of acute vertigo and dizziness is most of the time an easy task for the general practitioner. However, following an acute vestibular disorder and very often with no any overt cause, a considerable number of patients complain on chronic dizziness and subjective disturbance of balance despite normal clinical and laboratory tests. Patients describe that perceptual visual stimulus provoke or aggravate their symptoms that are frequently accompanied by anxiety. These cases have been described in the medical literature as Phobic Postural Vertigo, Visual Vertigo, Chronic Subjective Dizziness and Motion and Space Discomfort (2,3,4,5). Treatment of these conditions includes physical therapy (similar to vestibular rehabilitation exercises) and anti-anxiety or anti-depressant agents such as benzodiazepines and SSRI, however, the effectiveness of these approaches is debatable. Because visual stimuli play a crucial role in space orientation and motion perception, it is reasonable to hypothesize that certain visual stabilizing signals applied on the peripheral visual field (that is involved mainly in the perception of motion) could be of help in patients suffering from dizziness. This is the rationale of a new technology (SMB- Senso Mental Balance Technology) developed to alleviate the feelings of dizziness. Trial is conducted in Meir Medical Center, Israel. Recruitment only in Israel!
The purpose of this study is: - To examine the effect of infra patellar strap treatment on the extent of pain and jumping performance tasks in young male athletes diagnosed with patellar tendinopathy. - 40 elite male athletes, basketball and volleyball players, ages 14-18, students of the academy for sports Excellency will take part in this study - Hypothesis 1: The treatment of infra patellar strap will reduce the level of pain during jumping performance tasks. - Hypothesis 2: The treatment of infra patellar strap will improve the squat jump height in athletes with patellar tendinopathy during squat jump task. - Hypothesis 3: The treatment of infra patellar strap will improve the drop jump height in athletes with patellar tendinopathy during drop jump task. - Hypothesis 4: The treatment of infra patellar strap will improve the one leg jump height in athletes with patellar tendinopathy during one leg jump task. - Hypothesis 5: The treatment of infra patellar strap will improve the 30 seconds repetitive jumps mean height in athletes with patellar tendinopathy during 30 seconds repetitive jumps task.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a 12-week total regimen of telaprevir in combination with pegylated interferon alfa 2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) (T12/PR12) is safe and effective in subjects who have the interleukin-28B (IL28B) CC genotype. The subjects enrolled in this study will have chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and will not have cirrhosis of the liver.
