There are about 3082 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 goal of this Randomized control trial is to determine the Effect of kinesthetic exercises and sound waves on pain, ROM, shoulder alignment and disability in cervical spondylosis. The main question it aims to answer is: Weather sine sound and kinesthetic exercise are effective in management of pain, rom, alignment, and disability in patients that are suffering from cervical spondylosis
Many patients suffer from dental anxiety and don't go to dentists for regular checkups. This can lead to the initiation and progression of dental caries, which, if not controlled at the right time, can lead to the loss of the tooth itself. Many forms of distraction have been used to overcome this; music is also one of them. The main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of binaural beats and 432 Hz music in reducing preoperative dental unease and anxiety among adult patients undergoing root canal treatment in a dental teaching hospital. The null hypothesis is that both binaural beats and 432 Hz-frequency music are not effective in reducing preoperative dental anxiety among patients undergoing routine endodontic therapy in a dental teaching hospital. A total of three groups will be a part of this study, with a total sample size of 99 participants (33 participants in each group). Group A will listen to 432 Hz music for 10 minutes before the procedure, Group B will listen to binaural beats for 10 minutes before the procedure; and Group C (active control group) will listen to white noise for 10 minutes before the procedure. The Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety will be used to assess the anxiety levels before local anesthesia administration, after local anesthesia administration, and 10 minutes after listening to sounds. Then root canal treatment will be completed as a routine procedure.
Stroke is a neurological disease characterized by neurological deficits caused by insufficiency of blood supply to brain. Disruption of blood supply to brain can be due to blockage of blood supply (ischemic) or leakage of blood in brain due to rupture of blood vessel (hemorrhagic). 90.5% of global occurrence of stroke was subjected to modifiable risk factors according to Global Burden of Disease study. This study aims to compare the effects of core strengthening and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on static standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients.
This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy of valacyclovir in reducing postoperative pain following emergency chamber opening for acute apical abscess . There will be 82 participants, (41 in each group) Group A will receive Valacyclovir Group B will receive standard treatment i.e. Naproxen Sodium. Pain level will be assessed by using Numeric rating scale for 6 days
Cerebral palsy is a motor disorder caused by the damage to the developing brain. Feeding and swallowing difficulties are common in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Poor postural control and oral motor dysfunction results in extended feeding time, frequent coughing, choking and excessive drooling affecting their health and quality of life. The brain damage in CP is permanent that cannot be fixed however different oral motor exercises, oral facial facilitation and oral sensorimotor interventions are widely used for drool reduction and feeding difficulties in children with CP. Spastic cerebral palsy is one of most prevalent type of CP that is characterized by increased tone and stiffness of muscles. This research will be conducted to evaluate the comparative effects of oral motor facilitation technique (OMFT) and traditional oral motor exercises on drooling and feeding skills of children with spastic CP. OMFT is a complete protocol with a combination of techniques to deal with oral motor difficulties This study will be a randomized control trial. A total number of 12 children with Spastic cerebral palsy ( GMFS III-V) both male/female, between age range 3-12 and with feeding difficulties will be included in the study. Children with cerebral palsy and other co morbidities, seizures, risk of aspiration and who are on tube feeding will be excluded. Participants will be randomly allocated to two groups, either Group A (receiving OMFT) or Group B (receiving traditional oral motor exercise). Baseline scores will be recorded by using standardized tools OMAS for oral motor skill during feeding and DIS for drool severity with the consent of authors. Therapeutic sessions will be scheduled 3 days per week and 30 min a day for each group. The effects of interventions on drooling and feeding skills will be assessed after 8 and 16 weeks of sessions. Recorded data of all variables will be analyzed by using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) for Windows Software, version 21.
The study will be Randomized controlled trail, Subject diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis meeting predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups. Pre assessment will be done using pain, ROM, function, foot arches and knee alignment as subjective measurement through KOOS questionnaire, goniometer, 2D frontal plane projection, Berkemann foot prints using ink and paper ,30s chair stand test, nine step stair climb,40m fast paced walk test,Global rating of change score respectively . One group will be treated with hip abductor strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises and second group will be treated with intrinsic foot muscle strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises. Post treatment values recorded after the session.After data collection from defined study setting,data will be entered and analyzed at Riphah International University,Lahore
The main intention of the study is to understand the need and feasibility of transitional care training program among family caregivers of geriatric stroke survivors in Pakistan
To determine how vitals (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation) and craniovertebral angle will be affected by thoracic SNAGs in individuals with forward head posture.
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that encompasses a number of disorders specifically affecting social skills, Communication and present with Rapid repetitive behaviors. Autism spectrum disorder also presents with inability of body to process sensory information which can causes symptoms such as balance deficits, sensitivity to certain sounds or an exaggerated reaction to a normal stimulus. Autism spectrum disorder can affect the quality of life of an individual to a severe extent. This disorder due to sensory processing deficits also shows difficulty in motor planning, coordination and execution of tasks which can make performing activities of daily living highly difficult to perform. It is called a developmental disorder because it affects the growth. Milestones are often delayed in individuals with autism. Due to these deficits individual with autism if not provided with therapies at the right age can stay dependent on caretaker for their whole life. Rapid repetitive behaviors also known as self-stimulatory behaviors are a way to compensate with anxiety, difficulty in processing sensory information and are often used to stimulate themselves to feel calm. Though not a diagnostic symptom autism often still presents with vestibular dysfunction which affects the balance. Several individuals with autism have showed abnormal vestibular ocular reflexes; abnormally long latency of saccades. Rehabilitation protocol of Autism often includes symptomatic treatment and several therapy protocols such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, applied behavior analysis therapy and play therapy.
