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 this study is to determine if quinidine therapy (not guided by the results of electrophysiologic studies) will reduce the long-term risk of arrhythmic events in asymptomatic Brugada Syndrome.
Goal of the research 1. To check the viability of "Operating Table Position Simulating Radiographs", while positioned on the contralateral side. 2. To determine whether knowledge about the angles displayed on this radiograph (pelvic tilt) influences the accurate positioning of the acetabular cup during the Total Hip Replacement procedure.
The goal of our research is to check the levels of D-Serine, Glycine, and other Glutamatergic amino acids, in patients with First Psychotic Episode (FPE). These patients are in the early stage of the disease, treated with neuroleptics for short periods of time, and are usually hospitalized for the first time. The hypothesis of the research is that we will find low levels of Glycine and D-Serine in these patients. Following an Anti-psychotic treatment we will expect these levels to return to the norm, and that this correction will be accompanied by a reduction of positive and negative symptoms. In addition, we will check the D-Serine and Glycine levels in the plasma of first degree relatives of the patients and a group of healthy subjects. The results of this study might support the hypothesis that the Glutamatergic system in involved in the pathology of Schizophrenia from it's early stages. In addition, we will check the levels of Oxytocin and Estrogen in the plasma of patients in FPE. Our hypothesis is that we will find low levels of Estrogen and High levels of Oxytocin in this group of patients. The results of the study might support the hypothesis that Estrogen and Oxytocin are involved in the pathology of Schizophrenia from it's early stages.
In the current study we will study the effect of adding acupressure (shiatsu) to conventional therapy in treating individuals with schizophrenia.
This protocol relates to a phase II randomized double blind, placebo controlled study of the AS101 topical application for the treatment of mild to moderate Psoriasis.
The RAPTURE Study will determine whether dual chamber defibrillators with atrial prevention and termination therapies, minimized ventricular pacing, and remote monitoring will reduce the rate of inappropriate shocks and improve quality of life compared to optimally programmed back-up pacing only single chamber ICDs when used for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death
- The Study analyses the influence of selected factors on adherence to Betaferon treatment in patients with early multiple sclerosis (MS). The Investigator will document the relevant medical data regarding multiple sclerosis at every hospital visit, the patient will fill in two questionnaires at every visit: one about coping with the disease and the other about anxiety and depression. - The Study particularly looks at the role of the support of the patient given by the multiple sclerosis nurses.The nurse will provide additional standardised information at start of treatment and will regularly phone the patient to ask standardised questions about the general condition with regard to the treatment, the disease and social support. At the end of the Study it will be assessed if the supportive measures and the standards in terms of adherence management in the hospital have some influence to increase long-term treatment adherence.
Chest pain, illness perception compliance and psychosocial outcome after coronary arteriography. A comparison between patients which were diagnosed with slow coronary flow and patients who have been diagnosed with coronary artery occlusion. We hope to prove that the more knowledge and awareness the patient has about his disease the better his compliance and rehabilitation.
The hypothesis of the study is that at least one dose of CP 690 550 is superior to placebo (inactive drug) in inducing remission in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
This is a multicenter, cohort study evaluating an adapted rivaroxaban dose regimen in patients with acute, proximal deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) or acute pulmonary embolism (PE) who concomitantly use a strong cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A4 (CYP 3A4) inducer for the entire 3-month study duration.
