There are about 591 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Saudi Arabia. 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.
Influence of mental practice and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on muscle strength of upper limb and hand grip will be measured in 30 to 50 healthy students with right dominant hand, Their age will be ranged from 18 to 26 years old. Subjects will randomly assigned to either proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) group or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation with mental practice (PNFMP) group.
The objectives of this study are to assess the risk of ketoacidosis, severe urinary tract infections, volume depletion, and dehydration associated in patients with T2DM initiating Empagliflozin compared to patient initiating a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors over a 12-month period of follow-up, including the month of Ramadan
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women across the world, accounting for 25.2% of cancer cases among females and 14.7% of cancer-related deaths among females worldwide. The survival rates are markedly lower in the developing countries compared to developed countries, as well as the age at diagnosis. Core management of breast cancer includes surgical removal of the tumor either by breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy (removal of the whole breast). Choosing between these two procedures may be influenced by factors that have yet to be studied in Saudi Arabia. The investigators aimed to determine the prevalence of BCS and mastectomy and the factors that may influence the choice of procedure. This retrospective study was carried out by reviewing the records of female breast cancer patients who underwent BCS or mastectomy at King Abdulaziz University Hospital between 2009 to June 2017, excluding those with metastasis (distant spread of the cancer) or recurrence. Using frequencies for the rate, and multivariate tests, the investigators analyzed different demographic, clinicopathological, and radiological factors to detect correlations with procedure choice.
The effects of mental practice combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on muscle strength of upper limb and hand grip were measured in 30 healthy female students with right dominant hand, they were recruited from College of Applied Medical Sciences, Jazan University. Their age ranged from19 to 26 years old. Subjects were randomly assigned to either proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) group or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation with mental practice (PNFMP) group. PNF group: 15 individuals, these subjects received only PNF training. PNFMP: 15 individuals, these subjects received PNF training combined with mental practice.
This study will be conducted in the Department of physical therapy, College of Applied Medical Sciences,Jazan University, to investigate text neck syndrome and hand grip force in smart phone addiction among students of jazan university
This study will be conducted to investigate the influence of body mass index (BMI) on core stability (CS) in healthy subjects. The participants in this study will be 90 healthy subjects with right dominant lower limb (49 females and 49 males) they will be recruited from College of Applied Medical Sciences, Jazan University.

Patients with low back pain (LBP) often report an overall reduced physical activity and fitness that could consequently lead to an altered autonomic balance. Dysregulation of autonomic nervous system (ANS) is also implicated to be an underlying cause in the initiation and persistence of chronic muscle pain.High intensity interval exercise (HIIE) is a newer modality where short bursts of high intensity exercise are interspersed with rest intervals. Method:Study Design: It is a single blinded randomised clinical trial.Sample Size: Experimental Group (HIIE+ standard regular physiotherapy) = 40 Positive Control Group (standard regular physiotherapy) = 40 After the ethical approval of Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, eighty (80) patients with nonspecific CLBP (either sex, age range 18-65 years years) will be recruited. These patients, with mild to moderate disability/pain according to Oswestry index, will be referred from the orthopedics clinic, rheumatologist, neurology, rehabilitation specialist, to the physiotherapy department. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be completed for all CLBP patients. Pre and post assessment includes pain intensity, disability, resting heart rate (HRrest) and blood pressure, maximum heart rate (HRmax) after graded maximal exercise, heart rate recovery after graded maximal exercise (HRR). Tests of autonomic function will be done by recording ECG and analyzing he ECG for variability in heart rate (HRV), the Expiratory/inspiratory ratio in deep breathing (HRVdb) and baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS) at rest. Additionally each subject will be exposed to an orthostatic challenge and his responses will be evaluated. The recording will be done first in supine position and then asking the patient to quickly stand up and remain standing for 5 min. Data will be entered in Microsoft excel and comparisons and correlations will be done using either excel or SPSS version 20.
Balance is controlled through a complex process involving sensory, visual, vestibular and cerebral functioning which get affected by various neurological disorders such as in stroke. Different types of exercises are designed to target to cope up with the imbalance developed due to these neurological disorders. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of dual-task training using two different priority instructional sets in improving gait parameters such as self-selected velocity, fast speed, step length, and stride length in chronic stroke patients.
Silver nanoparticles are one of most nanoparticles use nowadays in the research area because it has specific physical and chemical properties, in medical fields silver nanoparticles can involve in diagnostic and treatment processes. Silver nanoparticles have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiangiogenic, antioxidant, cosmetics, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, the drug carrier, imaging, water treatment, and biosensing effects. Silver nanoparticles prepared with reducing agent tri-sodium citrate then incorporated in a topical cream to obtain a significant inhibition of the bacterial strains, inhibition of growth of bacterial strains in the face or other parts in the bodies.
