There are about 5562 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in India. 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.
Routine non surgical periodontal thearpy often fails to achieve complete elimination of pathogenic microorganism. This could be attiributable to deep periodontal pockets, root concavities, furcation involvement etc. Systemic and local antimicrobials have been used adjunctively with scaling and root planning to optimize the results. They have their own draw backs namely antibiotic resistance and narrow spectrum of action over periodontal pathogens. In the last decade lasers applications have diversified occupying greater part of the periodontal treatment strategies. Photodynamic thearpy has shown conflicting results as a adjunctive thearpy. The routinely used dyes are Methyelene blue, indocyanine green and rose bengal .These dyes are difficult to procure and may not be economical . Hydrogen peroxide due to its super radicals has a local antimicrobial effect. Since hydrogen peroxide can be easily available in a clinical setting and is cost effective. It could be used for photodisinfection . From the near-infrared spectrum lasers, the Nd-YAG laser can remove periodontal pathogens because of its thermal effect. However, changes in the neighboring tissues can be attributed to these unwanted thermal effects. The diode lasers that belong to the 655-980 nm spectrum could represent a safer alternative.Because of the transmission or scattering effect on hydroxyapatite, diode lasers have no effect on calculus. Anaerobic bacterial species intermedia produce black pigments in Brucella media from blood agar. Hemoglobin in the soft periodontal tissues behaves like a chromophore, being absorbed by the diode laser. Photoactivated procedure use photolysis of hydrogen peroxide with 810nm laser. It acts as an endogenous dye, which can increase the laser effect at this level and also generate ROS stopped immediately after the laser irridation. Therefore, the diode laser stimulation of 3%hydrogen peroxide has been utilized adjuvantive to SRP to optimize clinical outcome.
The rationale of this study is to establish a robust method for assessing sun protection product efficacy in preventing erythema and tanning. Employing both artificial ultraviolet-A Irradiation and natural direct sunlight exposure, the investigation seeks to provide a reliable methodology, ensuring reproducibility and enabling a direct comparison between these methods. Meticulously determining optimal UV dosages, the study prioritizes inducing skin responses for evaluation while avoiding adverse effects like blistering. The localized validation of UV exposure techniques, tailored to the Indian population, contributes significantly to the field by addressing diverse skin types and environmental conditions. By incorporating both artificial and natural (direct sunlight) UV exposure methods, the study aspires to enhance the safety and effectiveness of future dermatological investigations, benefiting both the scientific community and the broader population.
The primary objective of this study is to validate controlled methods of wound, including 1%w/v SLS, 3%w/v SLS, and 24-24 times tape stripping, on the forearms of subjects. The study aims to standardize the procedures for creating wounds and systematically evaluate the effects of these methods on various skin parameters.
The mixed methods pilot study aims to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and implementation challenges of the TARANG intervention in villages in rural/tribal Rajasthan to inform the study design and operational details for a larger cluster-randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a pilot peer support intervention, entitled "Kanasina Gulabi" (Translation "My Dream Rose" in Kannada), designed to improve quality of life and diabetes management among young adults living with type 2 diabetes. The intervention, delivered by non-specialist providers - trained young adult peer navigators who are also managing type 2 diabetes - is expected to improve physical and mental health outcomes among participants. The sample includes young adults aged 18-40 with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in Mysore district, South India. Participants were quasi-randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. With the support of their peer navigators, intervention participants will develop action plans to improve their physical and mental health outcomes. This study plans to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the intervention.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease. It comprises a wide spectrum of disorders that range from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), advanced fibrosis, related cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
An Open Label Study to Assess the Effect of Patient Use and Robustness of Tiotropium 18ug Inhalation Powder, Hard Capsule, Inhaler Device. Zephir inhaler robustness will be assessed by in vitro testing of the Zephir inhaler after 12 weeks of patient use
The goal of this study is to compare two formulations of Albendazole of the same dose in healthy adult participants. Researchers will compare the extent and rate to which the drug is absorbed.
Pilot RCT with 20 patients in both test and control group. In the control group resection & anastomosis was done using the conventional method. In the test group after devascularisation the resection line was marked on the bowel wall and IRT done using a forward looking infra- red camera with a rainbow display. Resection line was determined by a sharp change in colour on the display screen (corresponding to > 30C change in surface temperature) over the visualised bowel wall. Margins were revised if difference between surgeon and IRT determined resection lines were more than 1cm apart. Anastomosis was done as per surgeon's preference.AL was the primary outcome measure. Hospital stay, operative time, blood loss, post-operative complications as per Clavien-Dindo classification were the secondary outcome measures.
An open-label, balanced, randomized, two treatment, two sequence, two period, two way cross-over, single oral dose bioequivalence study of Empagliflozin 25 mg film coated tablets of Humanis, Turkey and Jardiance (Empagliflozin) 25 mg film-coated tablets of Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany in normal, healthy, adult, human subjects under fasting condition.
