There are about 1546 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Serbia. 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 study aims to compare implant stabilities between immediate and early loaded, immediately placed bone-level tapered dental implants in the upper jaw in the partial and total edentulous patients assessing marginal bone loss, oral health-related quality of life, and patient satisfaction within one, two and five years of follow-ups.
The goal of this study is to find out if doing a 16-week volleyball program integrated in physical education classes at school can make primary school students stronger, faster, and have better endurance. The study also wants to see whether the program can lead to changes in the students' body weight, body fat, and muscle mass.
The goals of the study: 1. to investigate the frequency of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine use (TCAM) and intentional Non-adherence to medical recommendations (iNAR) in the general population in Serbia, as well as their mutual relations. 2. to examine the distribution of irrational beliefs in the general population; 3. to explore the relationships between TCAM and iNAR behaviors on the one hand and variables of personality, thinking styles and cognitive reflection on the other, with a major assumption that these relationships will be mediated by the domain of irrational beliefs and socio-political attitudes. Participants will respond to a battery of instruments assessing TCAM use and iNAR, as well as, sociodemographics and health-related variables (such as health status, chronic diseases, BMI, etc.), distal psychological (i.e. personality, thinking disposition and styles) and proximal psychological, variables, (i.e. the irrational mindset, as well as socio-political beliefs and attitudes). Data will be collected on the probabilistic household sample representative for the general population in Serbia (N=1043).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare preemptive single-dose selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor - etoricoxib and dexamethasone use in systemically healthy patients during the surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. The main questions it aims to answer/evaluate are: - the level of inflammatory and early wound healing mediators in patients' saliva during early postoperative phase - clinical postoperative parameters such as pain, swelling and trismus - patient satisfaction with the treatment - rescue medication consumed during the postoperative period - incidence of adverse events Participants indicated for mandibular third molar surgery will be asked to: - take premedication (etoricoxib or dexamethasone) before surgical extraction - provide saliva samples before and following the surgery at regular check-ups - note the amount of rescue medication taken and pain intensity in different time points - perform clinical measurements of swelling and trismus at regular check-up visits - answer the questions about satisfaction and potential adverse events, if occur Researchers will compare preemptive single-dose etoricoxib, preemptive single-dose dexamethasone, and no premedication in impacted mandibular third molar surgery, to see if there are differences in inflammatory response and early wound healing, as well as in clinical postoperative parameters, patient satisfaction with the treatment and incidence of potential adverse events.
Procedure specific postoperative pain management (PROSPECT) guidelines for abdominal hysterectomy published in 2006 recommended laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy as a preferred surgical technique. Multimodal postoperative pain management plane includes cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors, and/or conventional non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) in combination with strong opioids for high-intensity pain or with weak opioids for moderate- or low-intensity pain. Paracetamol also was recommended in combination with COX-2 inhibitors or conventional NSAIDs. Epidural analgesia was recommended for high-risk patients. PROSPECT guidelines updated in 2018 discuss only perioperative approach for laparoscopic hysterectomy. However, hysterectomy technique has been switched from total abdominal to laparoscopic approach. In low resources settings, laparoscopic technique is nor well developed neither available to many patients. Furthermore, the majority of patients undergo total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), that is very painful procedure. Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a regional analgesic technique described by Blanco in 2007. Society for Obstetric Anesthesiology and Perinatology (SOAP) and European Society for Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy (ESRA) recommended QLB for post-Cesarean pain management in cases where intrathecal morphine could not be used or for breakthrough pain. Previous reports have shown that QLB is effective in providing pain relief after various abdominal operations. The effects of QLB for laparoscopic hysterectomy is controversial. We would like to see if QLB can provide analgesic benefits in multimodal pain management after TAH in our clinical settings.
The main treatment of every patient with periodontitis is non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) with the ultimate goal to arrest inflammation. Given the biofilm microorganisms associated etiology of the periodontitis, NSPT can be combined with adjunctive antimicrobial therapy. Hence, this randomized clinical trial aims to compare the clinical and microbiological effectiveness and relative expression levels (REL) of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) between local and systemic antibiotics as adjunctive therapy to NSPT in patents with periodontitis stages 3.
Prospective multi centre cohort study examining the clinical presentation, diagnostic tests, and management of adult Emergency Department (ED) patients presenting with Transient Loss of Consciousness (TLOC) either undifferentiated or thought to be of syncopal origin.
The main aim of the study is to assess the clinical outcomes of current CMV management across different regions of the world (Europe [EU] and Canada [CAN]). Data will be collected retrospectively from medical charts. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects 1 percent of the population worldwide and up to 40 percent of patients don't respond to current treatments. MBS2320, the drug being tested in this trial, represents a new approach to treating RA, with the potential not only to reduce levels of inflammation but to also directly prevent bone damage. The aim of this project is to test the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MBS2320 in patients with RA in combination with an existing treatment, methotrexate. Approximately 224 participants with moderate to severe active RA who have not responded to treatment with Methotrexate will be enrolled from around 45 to 55 sites around the world. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 doses of MBS2320 (5 mg, 20 mg, or 40 mg) or placebo (a "dummy" drug). The maximum duration of study participation for a participant will be 22 weeks, which consists of a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks, Treatment Period of 12 weeks, and a Follow-up Period of 6 weeks. Participants on the study will be asked to attend the hospital or clinic for regular visits during which they will have planned study assessments to evaluate the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of the study drug.
Optimal anesthesia is an essential requirement for successful dentoalveolar intervention.To achieve this goal,different anesthetic agents and techniques are available. Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) remains the most commonly used anesthetic technique. However, after the worldwide approval of articaine, a relatively new local anesthetic with enhanced tissue diffusion properties, many studies on healthy volunteers have investigated the anesthetic efficacy of buccal articaine infiltration and IANB in the mandibular posterior teeth and reported comparable results. Infiltration anesthesia is technically more straightforward, less stressful to the patient, and associated with higher success and lower complication rates than block anesthesia. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of local infiltration anesthesia using 4% articaine in the analgesia of deciduous and permanent molars in children aged 5-18 years and mandibular premolars in children aged 10-18 years.
