There are about 212 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Qatar. 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.
Many studies have investigated the efficacy and safety of Intravenous magnesium sulfate and inhaled steroids in addition to the standard treatment for patients with severe asthma attacks. In this 2x2 factorial design blinded randomized study, no interaction of hypothesized treatments is expected.Investigators hypothesize that two doses of intravenous magnesium sulfate,a high dose followed by a (lower) standard dose, will shorten the time to medical readiness for discharge compared to a single standard dose followed by placebo.The second hypothesis is that nebulized inhaled budesonide will be superior to placebo.
There is an association between elevated Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) risk and low serum levels of vitamin D. It is important to examine whether Vitamin D can enhance oral glucose tolerance in individuals at risk for developing T2DM. As such, the hypothesis suggested is that Vitamin D supplementation (4,000 IU/day) for 24 weeks in pre-diabetic individuals will decrease insulin resistance and the associated metabolic indices linked to the later development of T2DM.
Compare the efficacy of adding small doses of prednisolone (10 mg) daily to the efficacy of adding one of the available anti TNF in the treatment of methotrexate inadequate responder rheumatoid arthritis patient. Hypothesis: Methotrexate + Prednisolone vs. Methotrexate + anti TNF
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the addition of a drug such as Magnesium sulphate while providing therapeutic hypothermia (or cooling) to babies who are asphyxiated at birth provides additional benefit to the babies' survival and outcome compared to cooling alone.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of magnesium sulfate nebulization in patient with moderate to severe asthma exacerbation in pediatric emergency.
This study hopes to evaluate the effectiveness of early combined use of Sildenafil and nitric oxide (iNO) in newborns with Persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) and or hypoxemic respiratory failure and assess whether this would improve oxygenation, improve time on mechanical ventilation for these babies and also prevent rebound hypoxic episodes.
