There are about 256 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iraq. 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.
Fistula in ano is a chronic problem for the patients. It causes distressing because of foul odor and soiling with recurrent infection and discharge. Recurrence and anal sphincter injury were the most critical complications following surgery. Loose, thick Seton placement was the most promising surgical operation. To reduce the time of Seton placement, therefore, decreasing the suffering of patients from soiling and multiple dressing.
Abstract: Introduction: Pile excision is frequently associated with post-operative pain and prolong hospital stay. A modern technique performed with LigaSure appears to be mainly effective in large pile tissue removal is required. The study compares LigaSure pile excision with diathermy for the treatment of III-IV degree pile. Patients and Methods: 208 patients with pile III or IV degree randomized into 2 groups. Group one LigaSure and group two diathermy. The study evaluates the mean post-operative time, post-operative pain, discharge date, time return to usual works early and late complication. All patient followed-up for range (12-24) months. Results: 108patient treated by diathermy, 100 by LigaSure. The mean operative time significantly shorter in LigaSure, post-operative pain disappears earlier in LigaSure than diathermy. The time return to work less in LigaSure, while no difference in hospital stay and post-operative complications. Conclusions: LigaSure is effective procedure when large degree III or VI pile excised. The procedure enhances to use LigaSure as treatments of choice for class III-IV pile, even it is more expensive than diathermy operation.
This is an interventional, multi-center, randomized study. Adults with confirmed covid-19 disease not more than 10 days before enrollment date will be recruited (n=1000). Patients in same condition who get treated with standard of care will be randomly assigned to the control group (n=1000), and patients in same condition who get treated with standard of care will be randomly assigned to the placebo group (n=1000). The investigators analyze the effect of Xagrotin, and also investigate impact of different characteristics for instance gender, age, duration of disease, smoking habits and concomitant diseases on the outcome.
We present a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy of autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate BMAC of 1.8x 10 9 median cellular content in the treatment of early symptomatic knee OA. We use 2 injections 2 months apart (8).
Determine the efficacy of the non-invasive application of PRF on periodontal clinical parameters(pocket reduction) and the levels of PDGF-BB and Periostin in the gingival crevicular fluid.
Management of symptoms associated with diabetic neuropathy is a difficult issue for clinicians since it usually does not respond to standard analgesics. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring plant-derived, polyphenolic compound, it exerts pleiotropic activity. The investigators believed that the implementation of multidisciplinary approaches including pharmacotherapy and provision of healthcare professional services such as pharmacist intervention are needed for alleviation of diabetic associated neuropathy.Therefore, the hypothesis of the present protocol is that the administration of resveratrol and/or provision of pharmaceutical care in patients with diabetic neuropathy might be of value in improving quality of life and managing diabetic neuropathic pain.The study is designed as a four-arm randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Group one will be given only conventional hypoglycemic drugs. Group two patients will receive conventional hypoglycemic drugs accompanied by pharmacist interventions. Group three; patients will receive resveratrol 500 mg orally once daily after meals for three months, in addition to their regular hypoglycemic drugs. Group four; patients will receive resveratrol 500 mg orally once daily after meals along with their regular hypoglycemic drugs for a period of three months, accompanied by pharmacist interventions. Neuropathic pain will be measured by various neuropathic pain assessment tools. Nerve conduction studies will be performed to assess the effect of interventional therapy. The expected outcome will be the improvement of diabetic neuropathy associated symptoms along with glycemic status.
Dental biofilm is a primary etiological factor for periodontal diseases.(1) The bacterial biofilm would induce recruitment of leucocytes, neutrophils, and T lymphocytes and the secretion of antibodies, lipopolysaccharides, and chemical inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines.(2) Thus, periodontal diseases can cause tissue destruction and results in deterioration of clinical parameters measures such as periodontal pockets depth, clinical attachment loss, bleeding on probing, bone destruction, and resulting ultimately in tooth loss.(3)
The study included 2 arms Colchicine group: Colchicine + standard therapy of COVID-19 Control group: Standard therapy of COVID-19
1. To determine the prevalence of multidrug resistance bacteria in patient with different infections 2. To evaluate patients' predictive risk factors of antimicrobial resistance 3. To assess the association between patients' factors and prevalence of MDR bacteria
This is an observational study examining the psychosocial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in seven low-and-middle income countries (Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Pakistan, Somaliland, and Turkiye). The data was obtained on standardised measures of wellbeing (WHO Well-Being Index), psychological distress (Kessler 10), post-traumatic stress (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5), post-traumatic growth (Posttraumatic Growth Inventory), and a novel pandemic-related stress (COVID Psychosocial Impacts Scale). Data was collected employing either a unilingual (in native language) or bilingual online survey (with English as a second language) from participants (N=2574) aged 18 and above using a non-probability convenient sampling. The findings enabled us to examine the psychosocial impacts of COVID-19, validate the translations of the CPIS and standardized measures; and determine the trajectory of study variables with pandemic exposure.
