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 purpose of the Multi-National Gilenya Pregnancy Exposure Registry in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is to continuously monitor, evaluate, and assess for major and minor teratogenic effects in the offspring of women exposed to fingolimod before (up to 8 weeks before last menstrual period (LMP)) and during pregnancy in routine clinical practice. The overall aim is to collect and evaluate data on maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes and compare it with reference populations.
The goal of the this study is to create an interdisciplinary program which includes intervention in the fields of nutrition, physical activity and behavior in order to treat obesity and overweight among kindergarten children and to examine the influence of such program on the BMI,BMI%, physical fitness, knowledge and preferences in the said fields among the participants.
The purpose of this study is to assess effects of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) as an add-on novel supplement on quality of life, cognitive function, craving and psychosocial factors in heavy cigarette smokers. In humans, no previous randomized, double blind controlled study has been conducted to evaluate these effects. The aim of the study is to 1. Test Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) beneficial effects on objective clinical indicators of cognitive function (choice reaction time, decision making, impulsivity, facial recognition) in smokers 2. Improvement of quality of life, cigarette craving, psychosocial factors and self-perceptions in smokers treated with DHA supplement
Non-invasive, energy-based, aesthetic treatments are becoming increasingly popular among female and male patients of all ages. Different technologies are presently available to rejuvenate skin, including therapeutic ultrasound, lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL), however radiofrequency has emerged as the most effective and versatile modality for the broadest range of body and facial treatments, including non-invasive wrinkle treatment. The apollo™ system is an RF system, based on the TriPollar™ technology. The technology is based on three or more electrodes designed to deliver RF current focused into the skin, thus generating heat in the dermal layer. Selective and focused electro-heating of the skin is intended to stimulate collagen remodeling in the dermal layer resulting in non invasive wrinkle treatment. The apollo™ system is intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for non invasive treatment of facial wrinkles and rhytides. This study was designed in order to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Apollo™ System for facial wrinkles and rhytides treatments.
The study is an open-label, randomized, two-period crossover study. Up to one hundred and twenty (120) subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who use the MiniMed paradigm insulin pump, who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and who provide written Informed Consent will be enrolled in the study. The aim of the study is to examine the safety of the InsuPatch device in a home use setting. Mild Hypoglycemia,hyperglycemia and Adverse events will be compared between two phases of the study : 3 months with the use of the device and 3 months without the use of the device.
Visceral fat or peri-omental fat is increasingly associated with metabolic syndrome, a condition carrying a high risk of coronary artery disease. The independent role of Visceral Fat in cardiovascular risk remains unclear. Patients with excess of visceral fat and NAFLD patients will have higher prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis plaques independently by metabolic syndrome diagnosis. Suggesting that the presence of visceral fat and/or fatty liver will be considered an important condition to optimize the cardiovascular risk stratification
A basic requirement for every therapeutic procedure is that there be an objective and validated method to assess the benefit of the treatment for the patient. Currently, there is no acceptable procedure to quantify the benefit obtained from visual prostheses. The goal of the proposed research is to evaluate visual tasks and tests that will be given to a very large number of volunteers with normal vision who will be using a novel virtual prosthesis simulator. This device will simulate the realistic visual information that a visual implant can provide and will be used to measure implants in current clinical trials.
To establish the clinical performance of the SOLX Gold Shunt for its ability to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with refractory glaucoma where medical and conventional surgical treatments have failed.
This study explores the tolerability, safety and efficacy (i.e. how well the drug works) of flexibly dosed paliperidone palmitate in the treatment of schizophrenia in patients previously unsuccessfully treated with other oral or long-acting injectable (LAI) (i.e. with a long duration of action) antipsychotics.
Subclinical urogenital infections have been implicated in up to 70% of adverse pregnancy outcome, especially preterm labor and delivery. The most prevalent microorganisms involved in intrauterine infections are urogenital Mycoplasmas. Diagnosis by culturing or PCR merely detect the presence of the bacteria, pointing to colonized carriers only. There is no efficient and reliable diagnostic test to identify those subjects that have developed an infectious disease and are at risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcome. In order to identify women at risk for developing pregnancy complications, Promyco Diagnostics has developed a proprietary, simple and non-invasive serology diagnostic kit for the detection of urogenital Mycoplasma infection.
