There are about 2083 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Malaysia. 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.
Recent studies have shown promising cognitive and physical interventions aimed at slowing down ageing-related declines in quality of life, but they lack strong ecological validity (brief durations, unrealistic goals, no real-world application) and has yet to show robust evidence that such interventions are stable and suitable in the long-term. The investigators aim to examine whether these interventions can, over four years, significantly slow down the normal rate of ageing-related decline.
This observational study aims to determine the effects of combined physiotherapy programs and education in patellofemoral pain syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are there any effects of combined physiotherapy program among individuals with PFPS on: i) Pain ii) Muscle functions (strength, muscle bulk, flexibility) iii) Knee muscle functional performance (anteromedial lunge, step-down, bilateral squat, and balance and reach) iv) Kinesiophobia v) Quality of life Participants will be - Measure for the anthropometrics data including body weight, height, and BMI. - Answer the Numerical Pain Rating scale - Abswe Malay version of KOOS-PF and TAMPA scale. - Once they finished with the questionnaire, the participants will be stationed into station 1 (HDD), station 2 (Realtime Ultrasound) and station 3 (Dartfish Motion Analysis) Treatment they will receive - Blood flow restrictions cuff with physiotherapy exercises - Patient education Researcher will compare Blood flow exercises combined with physiotherapy exercises and education (Group A) with Physiotherapy exercises (Group B) to see if there is an effect on i) Pain ii) Muscle Functions (strength, muscle bulk, flexibility iii) Functional performance (anteromedial lunge, step-down, bilateral squat, balance, and reach) iv) Kinesiophobia v) Quality of life
The primary objective of this trial is to improve the overall survival rate of children and young adult with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in Singapore and Malaysia in the context of a multicenter cooperative trial using a risk-stratified therapy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of hydroxychloroquine as an adjunct to the current treatment of pregnant women with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does hydroxychloroquine improve the pregnancy outcomes in women with type 2 diabetes during pregnancy? - Does hydroxychloroquine improve the inflammatory markers in women with type 2 diabetes during pregnancy? Participants will be randomised into the intervention and control group. The control group will be on standard treatment where as the intervention group will receive hydroxychloroquine as an adjunct of standard treatment
Poor ovarian reserve (POR) is an adverse prognostic factor for In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) success. Numerous established data showed low live birth rates per IVF cycle; 6 to 10%, including the usage of In-Vitro Maturation (IVM). In Malaysia, POR incidence increases mainly from cancer survival, endometriosis, and autoimmune diseases women; therefore, IVM implementation is paramount. In the molecular level, the low competence oocytes showed a low expression of GREM1, HAS2 and PTGS2 in human cumulus cells, thus leading to poor oocyte quality(OQ). Various IVM media had been formulated to enhance the competency and quality of the oocytes to date. Therefore, our study aims to elucidate the GREM1, HAS2 and PTGS2 gene expression as oocyte developmental competency markers among POR women following IVM and tailored to the IVF outcome.
Pleural diseases are among the most common clinical problems encountered in healthcare settings in Malaysia and even worldwide. Most patients presented in a hospital setting with pleural diseases will need pleural aspirations or thoracentesis and chest drains for a variety of reasons. Healthcare providers will often be exposed to patients requiring pleural drainage hence it is important to be aware of safe techniques and procedures of insertion and also maintaining the pleural drainage systems to yield beneficial results. Most often, smaller catheters were deemed to be less effective in view of slower drainage rates and associated with high risk of blockage. However presently , in tertiary hospital settings small bore intercostal chest catheters (SBICC) have become an alternative to large bore intercostal catheters (LBICC). SBICC has been found to be equally effective, less painful and easily tolerated by patients. Hence, proper maintenance of SBICC should be undertaken to reduce rates of occlusion and to yield most benefits from the pleural aspirations procedures. British Thoracic Society in their latest guidelines recommends the use of small bore intercostal chest drain as the first choice in draining pleural effusions. The success of draining pleural effusions with a SBICC has shown variable rates of success among different studies conducted. Most common issues faced are drain blockage and drain dislodgement. There is limited data comparing the use of normal saline flushing versus fibrinolytic drug lock in maintaining patency of small bore intercostal chest drains in draining pleural effusions. This has lead us in conducting this research to compare the rates of partial or complete occlusions among normal saline flush with and without heparin saline lock in maintaining the patency of small bore intercostal chest catheter among patients with pleural diseases in Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz, UKM requiring chest drains insertion.
The primary objective of this study to evaluate the efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo to reduce proteinuria and slow the rate of eGFR decline in adult participants with IgAN who are at risk of disease progression.
This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg on cardiopulmonary outcomes relative to LAMA/LABA therapy with GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg in a population with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk.
The aim of this study is to compare patients receiving bilateral erector spinae block with ropivacaine vs control group in terms of pain score, total opioid consumption, hemodynamic changes intraoperatively, length of hospitalisation , time to ambulation post surgery and quality of recovery.
The goal of this intervention study is to investigate the effectiveness of individualized plant-based diet plan on nutritional indices and clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The main questions to answer are: 1. What are the current eating trends in colorectal cancer patients? 2. What are the common perceptions of adopting a plant-based diet in colorectal cancer? 3. Does iPLANT diet plan improve nutritional indices of colorectal cancer patients? 4. Does iPLANT diet plan improve patients' gastrointestinal side effects and quality of life without compromising their nutritional status? Participants will be randomly assigned into two arms (intervention and control) using opaque envelop system. Intervention group will receive individualized plant-based diet plan and diet counselling, whereas the control group will receive usual diet counselling. The researcher will compare the differences in nutritional outcomes and quality of life between intervention and control groups before and after intervention.
