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.
A randomize controlled trial will be conducted at Punjab institute of cardiology hospital Lahore, through convenience sampling technique on 48 patients which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into group A and Group B. Pretreatment values of patients' blood pressure, RR, HR, will be recorded. And patient's perception of illness through Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ), PHQ9 for depression assessment and HRQOL for quality of life will be assessed before and after treatment. Group A will be treated with basic Phase-I cardiac rehabilitation. And Group B will be treated with basic Phase-I cardiac rehabilitation along with Mindfulness based therapy. Treatment evaluation will be done after 8 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be use within a group or between two groups.
The aim of this randomized controlled is to assess the effect of kinesiotape technique upon wrist joint among the patients with chronic stroke. Patients are devided into groups, in group A kinesiotaping facilitation technique is applied on wrist extensor muscles while inhibition technique is applied on wrist flexor muscles and the result is the compared between the groups and within the group.
Aim of this single center randomized open label trial with blinded in-hospital outcomes assessment is designed with aim to compare manual thrombus aspiration followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy with PCI alone.
In this study, we will see the feasibility of a non-opioid pain killers in management of acute post-operative period as well as on discharge from the hospital compared to opioid medications for postoperative pain following URS and stent placement. The objective of this study will be to compare the pain control effects of no opioid and opioid pain killers during the post-operative period. This study will be a Randomized Clinical trial. Data will be collected from department of Urology, PKLI, Lahore. All patients included in this study will undergo ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy of ureter stones. One group will receive tramadol (opioid) while other two groups will receive Paracetamol and diclofenac sodium (NSAIDs) respectively. All subjects will receive one of the three pain killers after ureteroscopy procedure for ureter stones in a randomized fashion. Postoperative pain intensity will be measured by the investigator and the nurse in the first hour after the surgery in the recovery room and then in urology ward at 1,6, 12, 24, 48, & 72 hours using the Numeric Pain Intensity Scale (NPIS).A mean pain score of less than 2 for each category of surgical procedures or analgesics group will be defined as satisfactory pain control. The data will be analyzed using SPSS v 24.
The objective of the study will be to determine the effects of Sequential Core Stability Corrective Exercise Approach for Alignment and Muscle Function in Lower Crossed Syndrome.
- To study the vital sign ,oxygen arterial saturation of preterm babies provided skin to skin contact versus conventional care from birth to discharge
Hypothesis Preterm babies who receive sensory motor stimulation from their mothers as compared to trained nurses will 1. Start taking oral feed at the same time as compared to control group 2. Take the same amount of milk at the commencement of oral feeding 3. Take milk with equal efficiency 4. Not face more adverse effects
the study intends to observe the outcome of interventions (concentrated growth factor with autograft and xenograft) used to expedite bone healing and adaptation with minimal side effects. Three different modalities are being used to bridge the mandibular fracture defects (>5mm-<5cm). Those modalities include group A- autograft, group B-autograft with concentrated growth factor, and group C- xenograft with concentrated growth factor. the outcomes are measured in terms of acquired bone density (Hounsfield unit) that is obtained at the 4th and 6th month post-operatively via cone-beam computed tomography.
Undernutrition in the first 2 years of life is the largest preventable cause of death before age 5. Among those who survive, stunting before age two leaves millions with lifelong physical and cognitive deficits, which are difficult to compensate for later in life. Pakistan is home to the second largest number of stunted children in South Asia. The primary goal of this study is to rehabilitate moderately malnourished children aged 7-23 months and enable mothers to sustain this healthy growth at home by changing their infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, child care, hygiene and health-seeking behaviours.
The purpose of the study is to compare the onset and duration of sensory and motor block after spinal anesthesia between intrathecal bupivacaine alone vs intrathecal bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine combination.
