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.
Study aims to: (1) evaluate the role of morphological and physiological characteristics of the pelvic floor, pain-related psychological and -psychophysical variables in prediction of the success of myofascial physical therapy (MPT) for the treatment of painful bladder syndrome Patients with clinical symptoms of PBS will undergo physical examination, sensory testing in the genital area, perineal ultrasound examination for the evaluation of the length of the levator muscles before MPT and following 10 consecutive sessions of MPT. Improvement in clinical symptoms will be assessed and evaluated for correlations with psychophysical examinations.
The purpose of this observational, exploratory study in patients undergoing any cardiac valve replacement or repair is to assess the rate of bacterial colonization over native degenerative calcified cardiac valves.
The aim of the study is to evaluate changes in autonomic nervous system following treatment with anticholinergic medication for OAB symptoms. Heart variability as a measure of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system will be recorded before and three months following treatment with solifenacin succinate 10 mg daily.
The aim of the study is: to develop a comprehensive biochemical assay for detection of Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II), to be implemented in the Newborn screening program among the Israeli population.
To examine the impact of a structured physical activity program focused on bone strength in elementary school children in the framework of their physical education classes on: 1. Bone strength of children participating in the activity. 2. Physical variables and psycho-motor capabilities: vertical jumping strength, horizontal jumping strength, static balance, dynamic balance and coordination.
Comparison of the quality of the outpatient clinic electrocardiogram performed on patients sent to a cardiology consultation with a standard cable and the PhysioGlove-ES electrocardiograms performed in the cardiology clinic.
Tau pathology and tangles have been associated with cognitive dysfunction causing neurodegeneration. AD, the most abundant tauopathy is characterized by amyloid plaques and tau tangles. An abundance of tau inclusions, in the absence of amyloid deposits, defines Pick's disease (frontotemporal lobar degeneration), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and other diseases including frontal atrophy associated with cognitive clinical dysfunction of frontal dysexecutive syndrome, progressive nonfluent aphasia and semantic dementia as recently reviewed (Gozes 2010). It is the investigators aim to follow other protein expression [as per recent publications (Marksteiner et al., 2011)] in blood and CSF samples from those tauopathies. Significance: Results should establish the possibility of using tau and other proteins as markers for early detection and disease progression in FTD, also in comparison to Alzheimer's disease (AD).
High risk population: Screening for impaired glucose tolerance.
The purpose of this study is to Characterize the population of people who suffer from trigger finger (TF) in terms of demographic (Gender, age, occupation, etc.); motor skills (hand function); the Consequences of the disease on a person's daily functioning and impact on quality of life. The study will also attempt to examine the suitability of several common assessment tool for evaluation of hand rehabilitation Patients who suffer from TF. Information obtained from the study will enable a deeper comprehension of the consequences of TF on the patient and will be the first step in developing a protocol assessment and evidence-based treatment in this population.
Recently, a new synthetic marker was developed, based on a molecule that is composed of Amino Acids and Linoleic Acid and Neucleic Acid, which is capable of detecting even minor changes of oxidative stress. The investigators would like to assess the usefulness of this marker during positive pressure pneumoperitoneum, during laproscopic surgery, with or without intenstinal resection (ischemia induced by intra-abdominal pressure and vascualr compromise).
