There are about 7997 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.
The effectiveness of physical therapy for treatment of anterior disc displacement without reduction of temporomandibular disorders has not been well defined. This study compared the treatment method with conservative splint therapy. Fifty two subjects were assigned at random to either of two treatment groups: one is a splint treatment group, and the other is a joint mobilization self exercise group. Each treatment was evaluated using four outcome variables: (i) maximum mouth opening range without and (ii) with pain, (iii) present pain intensity, and (iv) limitation of daily activities. All outcome variables were significantly improved after eight-week of treatment in the exercise group. Meanwhile, the splint treatment improved three variables, other than "mouth opening with pain"; however, the degree of improvement was less than that seen in the exercise group. This result demonstrates that the joint mobilization self exercise improves jaw function and relieves pain as compared to the splint treatment.
This is a multi-center, international study designed to collect clinical, genetic and quality of life information on females with hemophilia, an inherited bleeding disorder. The study is designed to determine whether there are problems and issues unique to females with hemophilia.
The objectives of this clinical trial are to compare the effects of exenatide once weekly and insulin glargine on blood glucose control, body weight, lipids, safety, and tolerability.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multi-detector computed tomography using 320 detectors for identifying the combination of coronary artery stenosis ≥ 50% and a corresponding myocardium perfusion defect in a patient with suspected coronary artery disease compared with conventional coronary angiography and single photon emission computed tomography myocardium perfusion imaging.
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose of the combination therapy of sorafenib with hepatic arterial infusion of low dose cisplatin and fluorouracil on patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (Phase I), and to evaluate the efficacy of this combination therapy in the recommended dose (Phase II).
This is a Phase 3 trial comparing the safety and anti-tumor activity of PF-02341066 versus pemetrexed or docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with specific gene profile involving the ALK gene after failure of one previous chemotherapy regimen that included one platinum drug.
This is a Phase 2 trial that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of PF-02341066 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with a specific gene profile involving the ALK gene. This trial will also allow patients from a Phase 3 trial who received standard of care chemotherapy (Study A8081007) to receive PF-02341066.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the HPMC capsule of D961H 40 mg is bioequivalent to gelatine capsules of D961H 40 mg after a steady state is reached on Day 5
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 4 weeks treatment with AZD3199 in moderate to severe COPD.
This extension study is conducted to assess the efficacy of the GSK 580299 vaccine against cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) lesions, cervical cancer and cytological abnormalities associated with human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and/or HPV-18 or other oncogenic HPV types for an additional two years. All subjects who participated in the primary vaccination study NCT00316693 and who confirmed their interest in participating in a long term follow up study will therefore be invited to be followed for up to 48 months after administration of the first dose of vaccine. In addition, safety and persistence of the humoral immune response will be evaluated in this study. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the extension phase at Months 36 and 48. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00316693).
