There are about 465 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Jordan. 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.
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the chronic diseases that can have an impact on increasing morbidity, disability, and death. Social media has become a valuable resource for people with diabetes in improving self-management skills Applying diabetes self-management education with ongoing support using social media produces behavioral changes, empowerment, and cost-effectiveness. purpose: the purpose of this study is to examine the effect of self-management education with ongoing support using social media (WhatsApp) on glycemic control among patients with uncontrolled diabetes. Method: 140 patients with diabetes type 2 attending outpatients' diabetes clinic setting in Aqaba will participate in a two-arm randomized controlled trial study. Self-management education will be applied for all participants, ongoing support using social media (what's app) will be applied to the intervention group, and only usual diabetes care by a diabetes specialist nurse will be applied to the control group.
Research Problem : Advances in adhesive technologies have introduced several surface treatment concepts that enable the clinician to adhere resin-based composite restorations onto new composite materials. The service life of faulty direct composite restorations can be prolonged by composite repair wherein durable adhesion between old and new resin-based composite materials is established.
The general objective of this study is to develop, validate and evaluate the effectiveness of simulation in basic life support training (SBLST) among newly employed nurses in Jordanian governmental hospitals; the study design is a basic experimental study design, randomized control trial (RCT) design, the dependant variables measure in this study; knowledge, practice and confidence by using a pre-test and two follow up tests, two groups are participating in this study; experimental and control group. The control group treatment is the standard intervention (brochure), and the experimental group intervention is a simulation in basic life support training (SBLST). The study process includes four steps - Perform the pre-test (assess knowledge, practice confidence surveys - Education intervention knowledge and practice - Perform the post-test 1 (assess knowledge, practice confidence surveys - Perform post-test 2 (assess knowledge, practice confidence surveys
The main objective of this study was to investigate the relation between ceramic brackets and the development of white spot lesions (WSLs) compared to that associated with conventional metal brackets.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial was to investigate the effect of probiotic lozenges on the development of white spot lesions (WSLs) compared to a positive control, and no treatment.
The gaol of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the effect of self-etching primer bonding system and one step adhesive bonding system on the development of white spot lesions (WSLs) during fixed orthodontic therapy in comparison with the conventional 3 step bonding system. All participants will be bonded with similar fixed orthodontic appliances using each type of adhesives for the assigned group. WSLs will be monitored during the orthodontic treatment
Clinical management of immature non-vital (necrotic) permanent teeth is challenging, due to inherent structural weakness. Earlier management of such teeth relied on the traditional calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) apexification procedure or the application of apical barriers However, neither procedure allows for promoting root dentin maturation. In 2004, a novel management technique for treating immature, non-vital teeth called regenerative endodontic procedures (REP; also known as revascularization) was introduced. This procedure allowed for continued root maturation presented in an increase in root length and dentin wall thickness. The key points of REP include minimal or no instrumentation of the dentinal walls, disinfection with irrigant solutions and intracanal medicaments, provocation of bleeding into the canal space for creation of a blood clot, capping with calcium silicate-based material, and an effective coronal seal to prevent reinfection of the root canal system. Several case reports and clinical studies reported promising results for REP treatment. However, studies widely varied in their treatment methods, hence the search for an optimal REP protocol is still ongoing. A recent review reported that the methodological quality of REP clinical trials available to date, was low with a moderate to high risk of bias. To date, only few studies evaluated the outcome of REPs based on different types of intracanal medicaments. These studies either presented a retrospective design, low sample size and/or short follow up period. Hence, the need for randomized, controlled clinical studies to provide persuasive evidence on the efficacy of different intracanal medicaments in REP is of utmost importance. The aim of this study is to prospectively assess and compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of REP in non-vital immature permanent teeth using an intracanal medicament modified TAP or non-setting Ca(OH)2 paste. Forty-five patients yielding a total of 50 anterior and posterior non-vital immature teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups. REP utilizing either non-setting calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) (n=25) or modified triple antibiotic paste (TAP) (n=25), as intracanal medicaments were performed. NeoMTA Plus was applied for coronal sealing. Cases were followed up clinically and radiographically for 24 months. Survival rate, success rate, and clinical outcome measures were analyzed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, including clinical remission of guselkumab subcutaneous (SC) induction compared to placebo in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in participants with Crohn's disease.
Current evidence suggests that cigarette smoke increases disease progression in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and worsen their symptoms. 70% of PwMS report sleep disturbances that negatively affects their quality of life. Cigarette smoke has been found to be associated with sleep disturbances in healthy adult smokers, but this relationship is unknown in PwMS. Also, those who smoke cigarettes have less physical endurance resulting in undesirable effects on physical activity. Also, current evidence suggests that genes play a major role in smoking behavior and that certain genetic differences greatly affects nicotine dependence. To our knowledge, this was never explored before among PwMS. This study aims to explore the association between cigarette smoke, sleep quality, and physical activity in PwMS. Another aim is to explore the genetic susceptibility of people with MS to cigarette smoke, specifically to nicotine dependence
