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.
To study the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided PENG Block vs Femoral nerve block in patients with Hip fracture presenting to Emergency department
The goal of this observational study is to assess infant and young child-feeding practices among women living in urban areas and slums in Pune and rural areas around Pune, India, and to investigate the reasons for the adopted infant and young child-feeding practices in Slum-dwelling women aged 18 to 49 years who have an infant/s less than 24 months of age. The main question it aims to answer are: - Are infant and young child-feeding practices among women living in urban areas and slums appropriate? - What the reasons for the adopted infant and young child-feeding practices in Slum-dwelling women Participants will be measured for their height and weight, interviewed for Socio-demographic characteristics, birth history of the infant, infant feeding indicators and will be involved in focused group discussions and in-depth interviews to gain understanding into their adopted appropriate and inappropriate feeding practices.
Kawasaki disease (KD) is currently the leading cause of acquired heart diseases in children in developed countries. Cardiac involvement is the main determinant of the long-term prognosis of these patients, as coronary aneurisms (CAAs) may lead to ischemic heart disease and even sudden death. The current standard of care for KD has consistently reduced CAAs frequency from 25-30% to about 5%. Unfortunately, 10-20% of KD patients results resistant to standard treatment leading to a major risk of cardiac complications. Thus, scoring systems have been constructed in order to identify patients likely to be resistant to IVIG and who may benefit from more aggressive initial therapy. Different scoring scales developed by Kobayashi, Egami et Sano had shown a good sensitivity (77-86%) and specificity (67-86%) in predicting IVIG unresponsiveness in Japanese populations. However, their predictive value was not confirmed by subsequent studies in different ethnic populations. Recently, the French Kawanet group have proposed a IVIG unresponsiveness score that provided good sensitivity and acceptable specificity in a non-Asian KD population even if it was not subsequent validated by an external study. In our study population, the achievement of specificity and sensitivity values for both scores consistent with those reported by the original studies (sensitivity 70% and specificity 80% for Kobayashi and sensitivity 77% and specificity 60% for Kawanet), will be considered a success.
Pes Planus is a medical condition in which arch of the foot is flattened, causing the entire sole of the foot to contact the floor. For those with flat feet, footcore exercises might be an effective non-invasive therapy. Footcore exercises aim to strengthen the intrinsic foot muscles that maintain the foot arch, enhance foot function and reduce the risk of injury in persons with flatfoot.
Retention has been defined as "the holding of teeth following orthodontic treatment in the treated position for the period of time necessary for the maintenance of the result". Controversies regarding retention regime exist due to lack of high quality evidence regarding duration, type and timing of different type retainer.The present randomised controlled trial will be undertaken to assess the changes and compare if there is any difference in movement of teeth in post orthodontic treatment cases with immediate and delayed (post 7 days) delivery using beggs retainer and change in level of bone biomarker over 6 months period of retention .
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lepodisiran in reducing cardiovascular risk in participants with high lipoprotein(a) who have cardiovascular disease or are at risk of a heart attack or stroke. The study drug will be administered subcutaneously (SC) (under the skin).
Type 2 diabetes and metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) often exist together. The prevalence of MAFLD is about 15-30% in healthy people and around 60-70% in people with type 2 diabetes. Moreover, type 2 diabetes accelerates the progression of liver disease in MAFLD. MAFLD is a spectrum of liver conditions, ranging from simple fatty liver (low risk for progression), progressing to steatohepatitis (MASH) with no or mild fibrosis, advanced liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although diabetes is the strongest predictor of advanced fibrosis in MAFLD, however, only a small proportion of people with type 2 diabetes and MAFLD (about 5-7%) develop a clinically significant liver disease, but the burden of MAFLD is such that even a small proportion of patients developing cirrhosis will lead to a huge strain on the health care system in India. MAFLD is predicted to be the leading indication for liver transplantation in coming years. At present, MAFLD/MASH is the second most common indication for liver transplantation in the USA as well as in India. The question is why around 5-7% patients amongst MAFLD population develop fibrosis and cirrhosis. A growing body of evidence suggest that the disease develops because of a complex process in which several factors, including genetic susceptibility and environmental insults, are involved. There are several gene variants that have been incriminated in the development and progression of MAFLD. The most common genes associated with MAFLD are PNPLA3, TM6SF2, GCKR, and MBOAT7. The loss-of-function gene variant HSD17B13 seems to protect from NAFLD. There are a few studies from India about the role of PNPLA3 and TM6SF2 in MAFLD. However, these studies used USG for the diagnosis of MAFLD, which does not provide any information regarding fibrosis of the liver. The data regarding other three genetic variants are scarce from Indian individuals.
This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg on cardiopulmonary outcomes relative to LAMA/LABA therapy with GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg in a population with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk.
This interventional, randomized, investigator blinded, controlled study conducted in one centre consists in a 4-month evaluation period within the same season avoiding sunny season on 140 subjects with facial epidermal melasma.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the role of memantine in preservation of memory and neurocognition in patients undergoing craniospinal irradiation. Participants will be randomised into two arms and the interventional arm will receive memantine along with the standard treatment. Researchers will compare the neurocognitive tests of participants in both the arms to see if memantine leads to significant preservation of memory and cognition post radiation therapy.
