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.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Riphah International University QIE Campus in Lahore, using non-probability convenience sampling with 28 participants. Criteria include women aged 14-26, nulliparous, experiencing primary dysmenorrhea, with normal menstrual cycles and the ability to exercise independently. Group A will receive kegel exercises and 4-7-8 breathing techniques over 8 weeks, while Group B will only receive the breathing technique. Assessments will be done on menstrual cycle days, with follow-ups at weeks 4 and 8 using specific scales. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 27.
OSF is a widespread health issue in Asian countries, notably Pakistan, linked to the consumption of pan, chalia, and gutka, affecting a rising number of young individuals as an epidemic. This condition significantly impairs oral function, resulting in ulcers and chronic lesions, often progressing to oral cancer. Current treatments focus on symptom relief and halting disease progression. This study explores the repurposing of metformin, an FDA-approved drug with antifibrotic properties, for OSF treatment. Our objective is to unveil its therapeutic potential and comprehend its impact on the dysregulated signaling pathways associated with OSF. This research offers promising insights for an enhanced management approach, providing hope for those grappling with this debilitating condition
ERB's palsy is an injury of upper section of the brachial plexus (C5-6) leading to an internally rotated and adducted shoulder and a pronated forearm. Modified constraint-induced movement therapy improves the functionality of the affected limb, while electrical stimulation helps in the improvement of active range of motion and muscle strength in ERB's palsy patients. This study aims to investigate the effects of modified constraint-induced movement therapy with and without electrical stimulation on range of motion, muscle strength, and motor functions in patients with ERB's Palsy.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of High intensity circuit training, Intermittent Fasting, and their combination on PCOS morphology, Anthropometrics, clinical hyperandrogenism and body image concerns in females with PCOS. Participants will be divided into three groups who will receive High intensity circuit training, Intermittent fasting and their combination. The outcomes will be PCOS morphology, anthropometrics', clinical hyperandrogenism and body image concerns.
The aim of this study is to find the effects of strength training with or without mirror therapy of non-paralytic upper limb for functional activities and in lower limb for gait pattern, balance and stability, and ADLs of paralytic side in patients with acute and sub-acute stroke. A randomized controlled trial that will include total 44 participants .The control group will undergo usual rehabilitation training along with strength training. The trial group will undergo strength training and mirror therapy of NHS on the basis of usual rehabilitation training. For the control group, training time will be 30 minutes, once a day, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. IN trial group, training time will be 30 minutes therapy, once a day, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. were allowed to rest for 3-5 min during each training. Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
This study will provide better evidence that which technique is more effective in acute and subacute postural neck pain. To find out the effectiveness of Muscle energy technique (MET) and stretching exercises in acute and subacute postural neck pain.
Investigators will conduct a pilot clinical trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a Suicide Prevention Package (SuPP) within an existing task-shifted depression intervention in rural Pakistan. This pilot research lays the groundwork for a future project to scale a package for multi-level suicide prevention strategies that can be integrated into community based mental health programs, particularly targeting individuals living in low-resourced settings. As the model is designed to be easily adapted and integrated, investigators anticipate the findings will be valuable for all researchers looking to improve population health and mental health services in disadvantaged settings.
The purpose of this study is to translate Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder & Hand (QuickDASH) into Urdu and determine the validity and reliability of the Urdu version of QuickDASH.
My study aims to investigate the profound impact of exer gaming on normal aged individuals within our society. Additionally, I seek to compare the effects of exer gaming-based exercises and Otago exercises on crucial aspects such as balance, physical performance, and gait pattern among the normal aged population. This study holds immense significance as it has the potential to greatly improve the health and wellbeing of the elderly population. By identifying an efficacious physical therapy intervention to address the complications associated with balance, physical performance, and gait pattern, we can effectively mitigate further dysfunctions in this demographic.
The aim of this research is to assess the effects of the Otago Exercise Program on Rehabilitation outcomes of balance strength and functional outcomes of post Total Knee Replacement patients. A randomized controlled trial that will include a total of 44 participants divided into two groups control and experimental. The experimental group will receive the Otago Exercise Program for four weeks, three times per week for forty to forty-five minutes. The control group will receive general TKR protocol for four weeks, three times per week for 30 minutes. Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
