There are about 189 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Kuwait. 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.
Gynecological laparoscopic surgery is commonly performed as an ambulatory basis for the aim of rapid discharge, reduce hospital stay with reduced costs and to improve postoperative QOR [1,2]. However, the creation of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopy may cause postoperative pain and other physiological changes [3], which could influence the postoperative QOR negatively [4]. Poor postoperative QOR leads to prolonged hospital stay [5].
Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires lifelong self care behavior. Successful treatment of chronic diseases is closely associated with the education of both patients and their relatives. Patient education is one of the most important responsibilities of diabetes nurse educators. In the management of diabetes, helping patients to improve their health and quality of life is considered an important aspect of diabetes self-care education. Solid organ transplantation is now the standard of care for end-stage organ failure. New-onset diabetes mellitus after solid organ transplantation (NODAT) has emerged as an increasingly important determinant of outcomes and survival in transplant recipients. Patient education and self-management are crucial for ensuring successful outcome post transplantation. No adequate studies concerning education of diabetic renal transplants. Aim of the work: The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of diabetes education given to renal transplant recipients with new onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) on their self-care activities and metabolic control variables and reversibility of the present chronic diabetic complications. Patients and methods: The study will involve 210 diabetic renal transplant patients (NODAT) who will be referred from Hamed Al-Essa organ transplant center to Dasman Diabetes Institute. These patients will be sub-divided into three subgroups: patients who will receive group education (n=70) will represent group1, patients who will receive one to one education (n=70) will represent group 2, while those who will receive the conventional (not structured) education program will serve as control group 3(n= 70). All patients of group 1 and 2 will receive intensive education for 3-4 months, then refreshment session every 3 months for 2 years. Initially, patient data will be collected through 3 types of forms: patient identification form, metabolic control parameters form and diabetes self-care scale questionnaire; then every 6 months metabolic parameters and diabetes self-care scale questionnaire will be reassessed. Expected outcome: Patient education given to transplant recipients with NODAT could affect patients' self-care activities, metabolic control positively and possibly help in reversal of chronic diabetic complications
The primary outcome of this clinical trial is to compare the pain scores during labour and delivery of combined spinal epidural without intrathecal opioids and dural puncture epidural The secondary objective of this study is to compare the and fetomaternal outcomes
A chart review study of patients with haemophilia A with inhibitors treated with rFVIIIFc (Elocta®) for immune tolerance induction.
prospective study evaluating the impact of subthreshold micropulsed laser on the number of Aflibercept injections when used as an adjuvant therapy in eyes with diabetic macular edema.
This study evaluates a new combined technique using two different laser wavelengths and Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) to treat post-atrophic acne scars. Within the available knowledge of laser-tissue interactions and effects of PRP on wound healing, we will explore the clinical effects of our new combination procedure on a histopathological and immunohistochemical basis for guiding future post acne scars clinical research.
This study will be conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of Parecoxib versus Paracetamol for treatment of acute renal colic due to ureteric stones.
Primary Objective: Assess effectiveness of insulin glargine (U300) in achieving glycemic goal measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Secondary Objectives: - Assess effectiveness in achieving glycemic goal measured by HbA1c; - Assess effectiveness on change in HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) ; - Assess requirement for intensification of therapy by additional antidiabetics. - Assess incidence of hypoglycemia; - Assess other safety endpoints: adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs); - Assess change in body weight.
The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of OIT with colostrum on the feeding behavior and Clinical Outcome of Late-onset sepsis and Necrotizing enterocolitis
- Background/Rationale: Epidemiological data about Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders (PIDD) in Kuwait is needed to better understand peculiarities and to compare them with other regions and ethnicity. - Study hypothesis: PIDD is relatively common in Kuwait compared to populations from different geographic areas. The distribution of PIDD in Kuwait is different from other geographic areas with more severe forms being more frequent. - Brief inclusion and exclusion criteria of study participants: PIDD patients presented at different clinics/hospital in Kuwait. Patients with secondary immunodeficiencies (drug induced, virus induced, and immunodeficiency associated with metabolic disorders... ect), will be excluded - Estimated sample size of the study: All patients who were registered in KNPIDR since 2004 will be included in the study along with the new patients who will be recruited during the study period. - Primary objectives: - Determine the prevalence and frequency of different PIDD in Kuwait - Identify clinical presentation patterns for PIDD in Kuwait - Identify natural history of PIDD in Kuwait - Help to asses epidemiology of PIDD in Kuwait - Determine particularities about PIDD affecting the population in Kuwait - Determine the health impact of PIDD in Kuwait - Development of strategies to improve the care and the quality of life of patients with PIDD
