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 objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the pain relief and daily functioning improve, in patients suffering of Osteoarthritis of knee, with HOT/COLD/ Electro therapy during physiotherapy treatment
Long-term, single-arm, multicenter, open-label extension, Phase 3 study, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ACT-293987 in patients with PAH who participated in the double-blind study AC-065A302 (GRIPHON)
The current study is aimed at determining the normal response to increasing heart rates. For this purpose, atrial pacing will be used to increase heart rate.
The investigators hypothesize that leg edema will decrease rapidly when using the NormaTec pump, patients will lose weight, will feel better, will be less prone to infections in their legs and to congestion of the liver. Temporary elevation of intravascular fluid volume by the mobilized edema fluid returned to the intravascular space by pumping may increase cardiac output and renal perfusion and in addition it may distend the right atrium and ventricle thus inducing BNP secretion. Both mechanisms may promote excess fluid removal by the kidneys.
The 'Meir children's sport and health center' runs a multi-disciplinary intervention program for the treatment of overweight and obese children and adolescents. The program includes physical activity, dietary guidelines, medical supervision and behavioral treatment. The participants are routinely weighed once a week, at the same day and time, in order to supervise their progress. According to our experience, the child can predict his weight change, based on his "behavior" in the previous week. To our knowledge the overweight/obese child's ability to predict his weekly weight change, while participating in a multi-disciplinary intervention program, has never been tested.
It was previously demonstrated in in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients that local injury of the endometrium during a spontaneous menstrual cycle that precedes IVF treatment doubled the rates of implantation and pregnancy. The hypothesis of our present study is that the endometrial injury procedure will have the same beneficial effect in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) combined with intrauterine insemination (IUI).
To assess the utility of technician-based analysis of echocardiograms with longitudinal strain for ruling-in ischemic chest pain in the emergency room, compared to emergency room (ER) physician opinion and expert echocardiographer analysis of wall motion, both the latter blinded to any relevant clinical data .
The purpose of the Advisa MRI System clinical study is to confirm safety and effectiveness in the clinical MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) environment when subjects receive MRI scans up to 2W/kg Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) without positioning restrictions (MRI scans may occur anywhere on the body including the chest).
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of Fabry Disease in young stroke patients in an Israeli stroke clinic.
The purpose of this study is to compare hemiarthroplasty (HAP) with total hip arthroplasty (THA), performed by trained arthroplasty surgeons with the use of large femoral heads for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in mobile independent elderly patients, to determine the impact of these surgical options on the short term functional outcomes and complication rates, namely dislocation and the need for further surgery. This is a single-blinded prospective randomized clinical trial comparing functional outcome and complication rates of 40 patients treated with all cemented THA to a control group of 40 patients treated with cemented bipolar HAP, in a 2 years followup. The primary endpoint is the Oxford hip score (OHS) at last followup as a measure of functional outcome. Secondary endpoints include the SF-36 score, walking distance and rates of postoperative dislocation, component loosening, need for revision and postoperative mortality.
