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.
This study aims to generate evidence on the feasibility and effectiveness of engaging for-profit private sector family physicians and pharmacies to include family planning (FP) as a routine service in rural areas of Pakistan. The study will enlist family physicians and pharmacies in rural areas of Islamabad, Pakistan. Physicians will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Those in intervention arm will received training on family planning and technical support for six months during the duration of the study, to evaluate the impact of training and support in expanding family planning coverage and impact.
Spinal proprioception is integral for maintaining trunk stability during the performance of both static and dynamic tasks. Proprioceptive feedback contributes towards joint position sense and postural stability. Several treatment approaches are available for improving proprioception, one such modality is whole body vibration. The evidence supporting the effectiveness of WBV in improving postural stability is scarce. Moreover, the population of interest for this study is healthy adults because this age group is often neglected in the research related to balance and postural stability however incidence of falls in this age group is high as per latest evidence. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of whole-body vibration along with core stability training versus core stability training alone on lumbar proprioception and postural stability in healthy adults.
The evidence is required to assess the effectiveness of enhanced delivery and newborn kits as compared to standard delivery kits in the flood affected districts that can increase the utilization of services and reduce the delays that are responsible for poor maternal and newborn health through LHW program.

THIS STUDY IS GOING TO COMPARE THE INCIDENCE OF BURST ABDOMEN IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING LAPAROTOMY WOUND CLOSURE IN CONTINUOUS VERSUS INTERRRUPTED-X MANNER
The study will be a Randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in services hospital lahore. The sample size of 50 patients will be taken in this study to find the effects of high intensity interval training versus moderate intensity exercises on physical health and cardiorespiratory fitness in obese women. Patients will be divided into two groups (Group A will be treated with high intensity interval training and Group B will be treated with moderate intensity exercises). Eligible participants attended three session per week. Overnight fast, resting metabolic rate and blood pressure will be assessed. An oral glucose test will be assessed and baseline blood samples will be used for lipoprotein analysis. Pacer test and step test performed in the each session. A regular follow-up visits to department and a final assessment will be made at the end of last week by using questionnaire and resulting improvement will shown in results after completion. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 25.
This study will be a Randomized controlled and will be conducted in Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. The study will be completed within the duration of 10 months. Convenience sampling study technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 30 patients will be taken in this study to find the effect of flutter and PEP mask therapy on chest clearance and dyspnea. Patients will be allocated randomly in two groups and 15 patients in each group. Group A will get flutter device therapy. Group B will get PEP mask treatment. A regular follow up visits to department and a final assessment was made at the end of last week by using questionnaire and resulting improvement was shown in results after completion. Data will be analyzed on SPSS25.
We are conducting this study to check the effects of active cycle of breathing technique with or without acapella on airway clearance, dyspnea and pulmonary function test in COPD patients. Study design will be randomized controlled trial. Research will be conducted at Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Teaching Hospital and National Hospital Gujrat. Written informed consent will be obtained. Patients will be allocated randomly in two groups. Subjects will meet the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Questionnaire used as subjective measurements of dyspnea and sputum will be given and pulmonary function test values will be obtained prior to any intervention. One group will receive active cycle of breathing technique and the other group will receive active cycle of breathing technique with acapella device. Every subject will perform supervised ACBTs with and without acapella for four weeks. Three sessions per week will be given with 20 repetitions in two sets. At the end of 4 weeks treatment session, pulmonary function test values will be monitored and questionnaire will be obtained for dyspnea and sputum. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 25
Low back pain is common MSK disease with prevalence of 60 to 70 percent. Patients with low back discomfort are typically treated conservatively by physical therapists. Progressive muscles relaxation technique has been shown in several studies to reduce chronic back pain and increase flexibility. pressure biofeedback therapy works on Intra abdominal pressure.it helps to alleviate compression on lumbar spine and support the adjacent lumbar spine.The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effectiveness of pressure biofeedback training (Pr.BFB) in combination with progressive muscles relaxation technique (PMR) & progressive muscles relaxation training alone on pain, disability, ROM & endurance of muscles among nonspecific chronic low back pain patients.
The Central idea of the proposed research proposal is first to translate adapt and validate the Caregiver Difficulties Scale & Positive Psychotherapy sessions based manual into Urdu language then secondly, assessment of burnout, burden, depression, mental wellbeing, sense of coherence and social support among caregivers of Cerebral palsy children and finally measuring the effectiveness of Positive Psychotherapy for treating mental health issues of caregivers of Cerebral Palsy children. This research proposal will provide an Urdu language based standardized positive psycho therapeutic based intervention to mental health practitioners for treating mental health issues of caregivers of cerebral palsy children in sociocultural context of Pakistan. In Pakistan earlier conducted researches mainly focused on assessment of mental health issues of caregivers of cerebral palsy children, however present research will not only assess the sample regarding their mental health issues, but in addition it will also contribute in provision of psychometrically sound Urdu language based positive Psychotherapy. Positive Psychotherapy focuses on positive emotions and personal strengths instead of ruminating over weaknesses.
