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.
In children, behavior management is critical to the success of pediatric dental procedures. Most of the studies on local anesthesia performed in children deal with the question how to avoid or minimize pain during injection. Due to the sensation of numbness children scratch the soft tissues and bite lips and tongue. In many cases, this may be kept in children's memory as a "painful experience" and may affect their behavior in the following visit. The purpose of this study is to evaluate children's reactions to the administration of local anesthetic injection in the mandible (mandibular block) and in the maxilla (supraperiosteal infiltration), and to assess their behavior in the following visit related to each type of injection.
The limited available data precludes establishing an antibiotic regimen in patients suffering from bacterial meningitis after head trauma, or spontaneous bleeding Understanding the disposition of Amikacin administered intrathecally will enable to propose rational treatment of these patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess if 10 mg BAY59-7939, taken once daily as a tablet, is safe and prevents blood clot which may form after a knee replacement operation.
The management of pain endured by patients after skin grafting is complex. Pain is the single most distressing symptom but as it is difficult to manage, it is often under-treated. These patients may experience pain from two types of wound: the original injury and from "skin-donor" sites, areas of healthy skin from which skin is surgically removed and used to cover the original injury. As the section of skin which is removed is standardized, the wound created at the donor site is uniform and so provides a model of an acute wound. Opioids (such as morphine) are the backbone of treating the moderate to severe pain experienced by any patient. But due to their potentially severe side effects and that some patients do not experience sufficient relief from the treatment, optimal treatment schedules are still being sought after. Topically applied morphine has provided effective and safe analgesia in several clinical models. We, therefore, wish to apply this treatment modality onto skin-graft donor wounds. If found to be effective this could be an appealing non-invasive method to treat the pain of this type of wound.
Mixed or combined hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder characterized by both hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Statins and fibrates have complementary mechanisms and can be coadministered to patients with mixed hyperlipidemia.The overall objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of combining fenofibrate and simvastatin versus pravastatin monotherapy in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia at risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Our guidelines in the community recommend the use of NM for the treatment of women with community acquired UTI. While the length of treatment for uncomplicated cystitis with quinolones or TMP-SMX is three days, NM is recommended for seven days. However, there are not sufficient papers that establish the optimal length of treatment with NM in this population. The aim of this proposal is to evaluate and compare NM 3 day vs. 7 day treatment for the treatment of women with uncomplicated UTI.
The purpose of this study is to assess if 10 mg Bay 59-7939, taken once daily as a tablet, is safe and prevents blood clot which may form after a knee replacement operation.
During labor there is an increased production of inflammatory mediators called cytokines. Higher concentration of certain cytokines has been linked to adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes. Epidural analgesia is commonly performed after the parturient feels labor pain. We hypothesis that preemptive epidural analgesia (initiated before labor pain begins)can influence the production of cytokines.
Patients undergoing second trimester abortions will recieve either patient controlled analgesia with either remifentanyl or tramadol for pain alleviation. We beleive both to be equally effective for pain alleviation.
This study observes the continuous measurement of breathing patterns, heart rate, restlessness, and tremor in sleep using the EarlySense ES 16 device as a tool in the management of hypoglycemia in pediatric type I diabetes patients.
