There are about 3104 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Pakistan. 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 objective of this study is to find out the effects of Mulligan's Squeeze technique added as a complementary treatment to the conventional physiotherapy for the management of meniscal derangement in knee osteoarthritis patients.
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of periorbital massage therapy in alleviating symptoms and improving clinical outcomes in patients diagnosed with dry eye disease.

This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Static Stretching Versus Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas combined with core stability exercises in Non-Specific Low Back Pain"
This study is a randomized control trial and the purpose of this study to determine the effects of abdominal muscle activation training on non-specific low back pain; using pressure biofeedback in comparison with surface electromyography biofeedback: a randomized control trial.
Diabetes is defined by the level of hyperglycemia its a metabolic chronic disorder that furthur lead to life threatning medical conditions however, the prevalence of diabetes is rapidly increasing day by day in both developed and developing countries making it global pandemic and type II is more prevalent. Life dependency is increased due to long term effects of diabetes in specifically older individuals. Physical activity and exercise improves glucose tolerance and also reduces other life threatening diabetic complications, improving the quality of life in diabetic population.
Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal condition. Painful gradual loss of both active and passive gleno-humeral motion resulting from progressive fibrosis and ultimate contracture of the gleno-humeral joint capsule.Scapular position and movement perception both effected by shoulder adhesive capsulitis, change in the scapular kinematics in the form of an increase in scapular lateral rotation, and reduced joint sense for shoulder movements in adhesive capsulitis. Physiotherapists have a wide range of options in managing Adhesive capsulitis including Electrotherapeutic modalities, kaltenborn mobilization, Maitland's mobilization,Mulligan's mobilization and Manipulation. So far studies have shown the efficacy of different treatments in combination or in isolation.Few studies on proprioception in rotator cuff tear, sub acromial impingment syndrome, but no obseved effects of scapular mobilization on shoulder proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulitis.Physical therapist focus on lowering pain and ROM limitations in the shoulder,but often neglect to evaluate proprioception/joint position sense as well as the roleof scapula in adhesive capsulitis during treatment.If found effective,this study can help in probviding treatment protocols for improving proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulits.
This study is a quasi experimental and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of eccentric exercises on gait parameters in patellofemoral pain syndrome: a quasi - experimental study
Type II diabetes is a serious challenge for Pakistan. Not using medications properly increases healthcare costs and diabetes-related deaths. A mobile app in local language can improve medication adherence and self-management among diabetics. Therefore, in this 18 months long study researchers will develop a diabetes-related mobile application in Urdu, and will conduct a trial to assess whether it improves medication compliance and self-management, and how much economical this app would be compared to the usual standard of care for type II diabetics in Pakistan. This trial will be conducted at the National Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology Karachi. The study participants will be divided in two groups. Only one group will use this application. Researchers will measure medication compliance and self-management through diabetes-specific blood test and self-reporting questionnaires between two groups. Researchers will also determine how much economic costs would be saved by using this app to improve medication compliance
Background: Although Inguinal herniotomy in children is taken as a day care procedure, post-operative pain management still remain controversial in these cases and superiority of wound infiltration, caudal block or regional block over each isn't known. Objective: The objective of the study was compare regional block, caudal block and wound infiltration for post-operative pain management in children undergoing inguinal herniotomy
