There are about 3285 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 research was to study the effectiveness of sensory integration training on balance and confidence in patients with Parkinson's disease. Null Hypothesis: Sensory integration training and conventional balance training have no significant difference in improving balance and confidence of patients with Parkinson's disease. Alternative Hypothesis: Sensory integration training and conventional balance training have a significant difference in improving balance and confidence in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy of median nerve in the fascial tunnel at wrist which causes pain, numbness ,and tingling in the extremities. Common treatment options used in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome are conservative and surgical treatment option is better, this question is still a topic requiring more and more clinical trials. Neuromobilisation described by Butler is one of the treatment options which are used in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome in conjunction with other conservative measures. This proposed study will find out the effectiveness of Neuromobilisation in treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. As there is very little evidence available which Neuromobilisation technique is effective and what are the types of patients which can get benefit from this technique. This study will find out the effect of Neuromobilisation in patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome of non traumatic origin. This is a randomized clinical trial. Target population is patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome of non-traumatic origin. Data will be collected from District Headquarter Hospital Faisalabad. This study will include 56 participants according to the selection criteria. The participants will be randomly divided into two groups through sealed opaque envelop method. Group A will recruit 28 patients which fulfill the inclusion criteria. These patients will be treated by nerve sequencing proximal to distal in 3 sets of 15 repetitions in one session on alternate days for 4 weeks. Group B will recruit 28 patients which fulfill the inclusion criteria. These patients will be treated by nerve sequencing distal to proximal in 3 sets of 10 repetitions in one session for 4 weeks. The Statistical analysis will be performed through SPSS Software 21.
One of the major expressions of chronic disability in patients with cerebrovascular accidents is in terms of impaired gait and balance. Both of these limitations have an ultimate effect in terms of increased risk of falls leading to augmented morbidity and mortality. Further results of gait abnormalities and balance impairments are increased morbidity with many other manifestations including but not limited to; pain, a significant reduction in quality of life, muscle as well as joint stiffness, postural instability self-imposed restricted physical functioning, and limited social interaction. The chances of an acute recurrent stroke are substantially increased due to restricted mobility.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation strengthening exercises and de-Lorme and Watkins exercises program in stroke patients with upper limb weakness in chronic stroke patients. The randomized central trial will recruit patients according to consecutive sampling into two intervention groups. One group will receive proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation strengthening exercises and other group will receive de-Lorme and Watkins exercises program.
This is an open-label trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of treatment with BEM + RZR in subjects with chronic HCV infection.
Access to quality antenatal care (ANC) and postnatal care (PNC), including maternal, newborn, and infant services, is integral to reducing adverse pregnancy-related health outcomes and promoting positive birth experiences. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a total of eight ANC visits for pregnant women. However, the ANC coverage rate remains considerably lower among more vulnerable populations, and the quality of care that women receive is inconsistent, often poor, and frequently fails to detect risks in a timely fashion or adequately prepare women for the birth process. While rates of facility-based delivery are on the rise worldwide, disparities persist and the quality of care across facilities remains uneven. Even less information is available on PNC, where services beyond routine immunizations may not be widely available, especially in resource-poor regions. Additionally, limited evidence exists on innovative service delivery approaches and how to effectively scale tested maternal and newborn health (MNH) interventions. This coupled with the fragmented datasets from smaller studies limit our ability to advocate for policy change. The Pregnancy Risk Stratification Innovation and Measurement Alliance (PRiSMA) is implementing a harmonized open cohort study that seeks to evaluate pregnancy risk factors and their associations with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including stillbirth, neonatal mortality and morbidity, and maternal mortality and severe morbidity. The goals are to develop a harmonized data set to improve understanding of pregnancy risk factors, vulnerabilities, and morbidity and mortality and to estimate the burden of these risk factors and outcomes in LMICs. Ultimately, these data will inform development of innovative strategies to optimize pregnancy outcomes for mothers and their newborns.
The aim of this randomized clinical trail is to identify the impact of treadmill training on walking while doing dual task in patients with Parkinson's disease. By improving walking speed, bradykinesia would be reduced in Parkinson's patients. So, the findings of this study can help in formulation of future guidelines for management of Parkinson's that will help the clinicians to treat such patients in more efficient way.
The study will enhance the theory in the frame of reference on the efficacy of Ulinastatin while managing sepsis and subsequent morbidity and mortality. Moreover, the present study will explore Ulinastatin's prophylactic role in progression of multiple organ dysfunctions. Furthermore, the study will have the clinical implications in predicting the ICU admitted patient's stay and related cost in the context of new drug. Current researches will explore the new dimensions in Pakistan's healthcare facilities, paving the way of future academics to analyze it in order to enhance healthcare outcomes.
We plan to explore the usability of Generative AI-Chatbot for Diabetic Patient
There is a lack of long-term clinical studies comparing different restorative materials; most of the available studies have only looked at class I cavities or examined post-operative sensitivity in non-caries cervical lesions. The purpose of this study is to measure postoperative sensitivity in clinical settings at 3-month intervals for class 1 and 2 direct posterior restoration
