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.
Badminton is an extremely demanding sport. At an elite level, players are often required to perform at their limits of speed, agility, flexibility, endurance and strength. On top of all of this, players must maintain a high state of concentration in order to meet the tactical / mental demands of dealing with their opponents. In young badminton players, the most important attributes are high levels of skill. A long-term commitment to endurance training is necessary to reach and maintain a player full physical potential. These are two primary objectives of the endurance program are to prevent injury and enhance the abilities to play the game. Endurance plays the key role in all motor abilities, technical skills and tactical actions. Endurance performance capacity has long been recognized as important prerequisite for on field performance for badminton players.
This study aims to describe the comparative effects of dynamic surface training and trunk targeted training in order to ensure which method is best in improving gross motor function , balance and trunk control in children with spastic cerebral palsy . this will be randomized control study which includes participants with age 5 to 10 years
propranolol and anabolic steroids have a role in pediatric burn patients and their combined effects are to be studied here. They decrease the catabolic response to burn trauma and minimize the duration of growth arrest hence improving the outcome
This study will investigate the role of genetic modifiers in hemoglobinopathies through a large-scale, multi-ethnic genome-wide association study (GWAS).
Childhood malnutrition is a global public health issue with devastating consequences on the health, well-being, and psychosocial development of children. Emerging evidence suggests that malnourished children have immature gut microbiota compared to age-matched healthy controls and it does not repair even after nutritional interventions. The present study aims to characterize how the gut microbiome develops during the first two years of life in children residing in malnutrition endemic areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the region with the highest prevalence of childhood malnutrition in Pakistan and the region.
As limited data is available locally and internationally regarding early Lumbar drain and its effect on duration of CSF leak we have decided to compare it conservative treatment. By providing CSF an alternative route for drainage, the fistula site will remain dry. Leakage site won't be facing CSF pressure, and this will promote early healing of the wound.
Various studies have worked on the sitting balance of cerebral palsy (CP) with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I-III with a sample greater than 30, there is no data available to compare the effect of a balance board and perceptual motor therapy to improve sitting in GMFCS level IV and V with a sample greater than 30. This study will add the authenticity to literature with a large sample size and affect the severity of the condition.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of mulligan straight leg raise versus slump stretching on pain, disability and hip range of motion in patient with low back pain. . Convenient sampling technique will be used to enroll the patients. Patients will be inquire into basis of pre formulated eligibility criteria. Written Consent will be taken from each patient before starting interventional sessions. Sample size of this study will consist on the participants who will qualify for both inclusion an exclusion criteria. Both groups will receive ultrasonic therapy and hot pack therapy as baseline treatment. Group A will receive mulligan straight leg raise and group B will receive slump stretching. The assessment of patients will be done at baseline, 4th and 8th week. The outcomes from patients will be calculated by using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Goniometer and ODI. The comparison between pre-treatment and post-treatment data will be done after 8th week. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
Adhesive capsulitis (AC) also known as frozen shoulder typically manifests to decrease range of motion (ROM) and function and increase pain in shoulder .Objective of the study is To compare the effects of Myofascial Arm Pull Technique and Post-isometric Relaxation on Pain, Range of Motion and functional disability in adhesive capsulitis after mastectomy. The study design will be a Randomized Clinical Trial that will be used to compare the effects of Myofascial arm pull technique with post isometric relaxation. Subject with adhesive capsulitis meeting the predetermined inclusion & exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups. Pre assessment will be done using numeric pain rating scale NPRS for pain , shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) tool for disability and Goniometer for Range of motion. Consent will be taken from patients by consent form the patients. They will be divided into two groups randomly by Random Number Generator table: Group A and Group B. For common treatment, both the groups will receive Ultrasound with a dosage of 1 MHz in frequency, continuous mode and 1.5 W/ cm2 of intensity for 10 minutes of treatment duration and Movement with mobilization will be applied for 15 times in 3 sets, and a 1- minute rest period was provided between each set. Group A will be given Post isometric relaxation technique with ultrasonic therapy. Group B will be given myofascial arm pull technique with ultrasonic. Total intervention protocol will be given for four weeks of duration 3 sessions per week with total 12 sessions. In Post isometric relaxation technique the therapist will slowly provide resistance in the direction of flexion, abduction, or external rotation, and without the subject intending to move for 15 minutes/ day, 3 times/week for 12 weeks. Similarly, myofascial arm pull technique the therapist will hold arm of the subject firmly and initial stretch will be applied in abduction and external rotation for 8-10 times in each session per day for 3 days/week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.
Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder, involving discomfort and pain around the neck region, which results in limited neck function. Due to chronic neck pain, patient's neck function, cervical proprioception, ROM and cervical muscle strength is affected. Exercise is considered as one of the evidence-based modality to decrease pain, prevent further injury, increase muscle strength, endurance and flexibility, improve proprioception, and contribute and sustain normal life activities. In addition, recent studies suggest that exercises including not only neck but also scapulothoracic region might be more beneficial for the management of patients with chronic neck pain.Scapulothoracic stabilization exercises in addition to cervical stabilization exercises have the potential of improving this cervical sensorimotor control, however evidence is deficient Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of adding scapula-thoracic stabilization training to conventional physical therapy on pain and neck function in the patients with chronic neck pain.
