There are about 7943 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Japan. 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.
Orthodontic treatment can cause pain. Research studies have shown that light therapy can help reduce pain that is caused by orthodontic treatment. In this study, data was collected from the medical charts of patients who had orthodontic treatment and recorded their pain levels for 1 week at the beginning of orthodontic treatment while they used a light therapy device or did not use at device. This collected information was used to see if the light therapy device could lessen orthodontic pain.
Burnout among healthcare workers is frequently reported, and one of the factors cited is the stress caused by end-of-life care. It has been reported that nursing staff experience decreased well-being as a result of being involved in end-of-life care, and this is also true in intensive care units. This decrease in well-being is said to lead to lower quality of care, poor communication with patients and their families, absenteeism, and high turnover. Although palliative care interventions such as education and communication tools have been reported to improve the well-being of healthcare professionals involved in end-of-life care, few reports have evaluated the association with burnout. We investigated whether communication-based palliative interventions in end-of-life care in intensive care units (ICUs) improve the risk of burnout among nurses working in ICUs.
This is an observational, cohort study that will use secondary data to describe the baseline demographics and clinical characteristics in patients who received EVUSHELD as PrEP against SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 in Japan. All patients who have a record of administration of EVUSHELD in the database will be included in the study. The index date will be defined as the date of first EVUSHELD administration in the database (Day 0) and the patients will be followed up to 6 months after the index date (Day 1 to 180). The look back period is defined as the 12-month period prior to index date (Day -360 to -1). The exposure of interest will be defined as the administration of EVUSHELD for use as PrEP against COVID-19. As the result of feasibility assessment, sample size of the study expected to be approximately 280.
Facial lines that develop from repeated facial expression, such as glabellar lines (GL), are typically treated by selectively weakening specific muscles with small quantities of botulinum toxin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AGN-151586 over a range of doses for the treatment of moderate to severe GL in Japanese participants. AGN-151586 is an investigational product being developed for the treatment of GL. Participants are randomly assigned to receive AGN-151586 or placebo. There is 1 in a 4 chance that participants will receive placebo. Around 24 adult participants with moderate to severe GL will be enrolled in the study in approximately 2 sites in Japan. Participants will receive either AGN-151586 or Placebo administered as 5 intramuscular injections to the glabellar complex on Day 1. The duration of the study will be approximately 6 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
This retrospective study aims to compare discharge criteria and their impact on the length of stay using two neonatal intensive care units from two countries. The possible discharge criteria include temperature control, apnea observation, periodic respiration, least weight limit, and parents' readiness. The data were collected retrospectively in each study site.
The main objectives of this trial are to investigate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BI 765845 in healthy male Japanese subjects following intravenous administration of single rising doses.
The main objectives of this trial are to investigate pharmacokinetics (PK) of R-BI 1015550 in Japanese healthy male subjects following oral administration of two different single BI 1015550 doses.
The goal of this clinical study was to learn more about BAY1747846 compared to placebo when given as an injection into the vein in Japanese healthy male participants: - the safety of BAY1747846 when given at increasing single doses - the level of BAY1747846 in the body over time when given at increasing single doses. To answer the first question, the researchers compared the number and severity of medical problems the Japanese participants had after receiving BAY 1747846 at increasing doses and placebo respectively. Doctors keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study treatments. To answer the second question, the researchers determined: - the (average) total level of BAY1747846 in the body, also called AUC - the (average) highest level of BAY1747846 in the body, also called Cmax - how BAY1747846 is removed from the body, also called clearance (CL).
Purpose: Neo-angiogenesis is necessary for adhesion and invasiveness of endometriotic lesions in women affected by endometriosis. VEGF is one of the major components of angiogenesis and is part of the major pathway TF-PAR-2-VEGF that leads to neo-angiogenesis. SP1 is a transcriptional factor that has lately been studied for its crucial role in angiogenesis, via a distinct pathway. We hypothesize that by blocking angiogenetic pathways we can repress endometriotic lesions. GnRH-agonists are routinely used, especially pre-operatively, in endometriosis. It would be interesting to clarify which angiogenetic pathways are affected and pave the way for further research over anti-angiogenetic effects on endometriosis. Methods: We used qRT-PCR to study mRNA expression levels of TF, PAR-2, VEGF and SP1 in endometriotic tissues of women who underwent surgery for endometriosis and received GnRH-a [leuprolide acetate] preoperatively.
The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD7503 following multiple subcutaneous doses in healthy Japanese participants.
