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.
One important goal in anesthetic management during ocular surgery is to provide adequate control of intraocular pressure (IOP). An increase in IOP may be catastrophic in patients with glaucoma or a penetrating open-eye injury. Accurate assessment of IOP is particularly important in infants and children with definite or suspected glaucoma undergoing examination under anesthesia. Anesthetic regimens in this surgical field commonly consist of short-acting anesthetic agents, such as sevoflurane. Sevoflurane is known to reduce the IOP. During pediatric ocular surgery, the inspired sevoflurane concentration varies continuously and may have an impact over the IOP that could affect the conduct of surgery. In this study the investigators wish to evaluate whether variations in sevoflurane concentration do affect the IOP.
The purpose of this study is to study the prevalence of EBV, HCMV, HHV-6 in saliva and on the toothbrush patient with periodontitis.
The purpose of the study is optimising current treatments in schizophrenia and explore novel therapeutic options for schizophrenia. The study intends to both address basic, but so far unanswered, questions in the treatment of schizophrenia and develop new interventions. It is expected that the project will lead to evidence that is directly applicable to treatment guidelines, and will identify potential mechanisms for new drug development.
The present study is aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a new noninvasive method to measure continuous glucose values using electromagnetic radiation.
This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in comparison with interferon beta-1a (Rebif) in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either ocrelizumab 600 mg or matching placebo intravenous (IV) as 300 mg infusions on Days 1 and 15 for the first dose and as a single infusion of 600 mg for all subsequent infusions every 24 weeks, with placebo injections matching interferon beta-1a SC three times per week; or interferon beta-1a 44 mcg SC injections three times per week (with placebo infusions matching ocrelizumab infusions every 24 weeks). Planned duration of double-blind treatment is 96 weeks. Participants who complete the 96-week double-blind treatment will have an option to enter a single-group, active-treatment, open-label extension period, providing they fulfill the eligibility criteria.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether the prevalence of osteoporosis is greater in patients who suffer from Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or Asthma disease and uses inhaled steroids.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combined anesthesia will provide better pain control for the postoperative period following gynecological laparoscopy surgery.
The research aims to provide data on gender-related psychological impact of GH (Growth Hormone)treatment. Implicit measurable psychological metrics of the therapy outcome on males are to be evaluated in a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial. As a secondary axis of the study, the investigators aim to provide descriptive documentation of the unique distress signal manifestation implicitly shown by Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS) boys and suggest methods of early detection and measurement of such manifestations that can be used to cement guidelines for the treatment in GH.
The IBSR (Inquiry-based stress reduction) intervention, developed by Byron Katie (www.thework.com), trains subjects to reduce their perceived level of stress by self-inquiry of their thoughts and beliefs connected to stressful circumstances or symptoms. This meditative process, named "The Work", enables the participants to identify and question the stressful thoughts that cause their suffering. The core of IBSR is simply four questions and a turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what the participant believes. This process is simple, powerful and can be easily implemented in daily life. Therefore, on the basis of previous data and beneficial observations the investigators postulate that the clinical utility of IBSR mediation program may improve psychological and physical symptoms and quality of life among BC patients during the survivorship period. Thus, we will conduct a pilot/feasibility randomized controlled clinical trial designed to - Assess feasibility of a IBSR intervention by examining attendance, drop-out rates, and program satisfaction. - Determine whether IBSR intervention compared with usual care is efficacious in improving quality of life, psychological and physical status in BC survivors.
The aim of the study is to investigate the longterm impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, relevant efficacy parameters (e.g., glycaemic parameters) and safety (e.g., weight and hypoglycaemia) of treatment with linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes at elevated cardiovascular risk receiving usual care, and compare outcome against glimepiride.
