There are about 1302 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.
This study intended to assess the impact of coordination-based exercise interventions on physical fitness, motor competence, and executive function among preschoolers aged 4 to 6 years.
Healthy lifestyles are crucial for preventing chronic diseases. This study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth intervention program in adopting healthy lifestyles.
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of Virtual reality on hand function in Saudi children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the longevity of direct composite compared to indirect ceramic laminate veneers in multiple diastema closure cases using USPHS criteria. The formulated null hypothesis was that there is no significant difference in the clinical performance of direct composite and indirect ceramic laminate veneers in multiple diastema closure cases over two years.
This study compared the effects of Robotic-assisted Gait Training (RAGT) and body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) on spatio-temporal gait parameters and walking capacity among ambulatory children with bilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP)
This study was designed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of adaptive variable-resistance training (Adaptive-VRT) on chemotherapy-induced sarcopenia, fatigue, and functional restrictions in a convenience sample of pediatric survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Sixty-two pediatric survivors of ALL were randomly allocated to the experimental group (n = 31, received the adaptive variable-resistance training) or the Control group (n = 31, received standard physical therapy care). Both groups were assessed for muscle mass, strength, fatigue, and functional capacity before and after treatment.
This study aimed to compare the effect of constant-load aerobic exercise (CL-AE) and graded aerobic exercise (G-AE) on cardiopulmonary fitness, and functional capacity in a cohort of obese children with bronchial asthma (BA). A total of 78 children with BA were randomly assigned to the CL-AE group (n = 26, who underwent moderate-intensity aerobic training with the training load maintained at the same level throughout the entire program, besides the respiratory re-training program), the G-AE group (n = 26, received an intensity- and duration-graded aerobic training in addition to the respiratory re-training program), or the control group (n = 29, who only engaged in a respiratory re-training program). Interventions were administered three times/week for 12 successive weeks. The cardiopulmonary fitness and functional capacity were evaluated in the three groups before and after the completion of the assigned interventions.
The goal of this RCT is to compare puppet modeling technique vs tell show and do on children undergoing stressful dental procedures' - The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. To compare the effect of puppet modeling vs tell show and do on the cooperation of children during the administration of local anesthesia. 2. To compare the effect of puppet modeling vs tell show and do on the anxiety level of children during the administration of local anesthesia. type of study: clinical trial participant population/health conditions: Healthy In this randomized crossover clinical trial, study subjects were randomly allocated into two groups: - Group I : Children who received puppet behavior guidance during their first visit and tell-show-do guidance in their second visit, 2 weeks later. (P-TSD) - Group II : Children who received the tell-show-do behavior guidance during their first visit and puppet behavioral guidance in their second visit, 2 weeks later.(TSD-P)
- Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness in plaque removal of the new device; Dental floss holders and compare the results to the conventional way of flossing. - Methods: Thirty adult male and female participants participated in this randomized, single-use, single-blind clinical study. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups; Group A: Consists of 30 participants in whom Dental Floss Holders (DFH) was constructed to either maxillary or mandibular arch randomly. Group B: Consists of 30 participants in whom conventional flossing (CF) was done to the other arch. Participants attended the first visit for primary impression taking in order to construct the DFH. In the second visit, participants were examined by a blinded examiner to record their plaque index using O'Leary index. Then, they flossed using DFH and CF according to the group they were assigned to. Participants were monitored to ensure proper coverage of all the areas following precise instructions. They then brushed their teeth for approximately 2 minutes using modified bass technique. Next, plaque index was recorded again using the O'leary index. Time was recorded during flossing of each arch. Finally, participants were given a questionnaire to assess their satisfaction of the device. - Results: The differences between the groups showed the DFH group with a 62.8% reduction in whole mouth plaque and 63.3% for proximal plaque compared to 52.9% and 50.4% for the CF group, respectively (p = 0.01). The DFH was more time efficient in removing plaque from the marginal regions with an average time of 00:00:37 in comparison to the CF which averaged in 00:02:07 (p < 0.001). A total of 26 participants (86.7%) preferred using the DFH over the CF. - Conclusion: With the combination of toothbrushing, the Dental Floss Holders is significantly more effective and time efficient than conventional flossing in removing plaque from tooth surfaces.
Objective: Transnasal skull-base surgery is a complex and invasive procedure that involves the use of preoperative antiseptic preparations. However, evidence supporting their use in preventing postoperative infectious complications is limited. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of preoperative antiseptic techniques in reducing postoperative infectious complications within 30 days of surgery. Methods: A multicenter, prospective, randomized, single-blind, three-arm trial was conducted from February 2019 to October 2021. Participants were randomized to either of three antiseptic preparation techniques: external 0.9%NaCl nasal preparation, external 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate, or intranasal irrigation with 80 mg of gentamicin added to 1000 ml of 0.9%NaCl plus external nasal preparation with chlorhexidine gluconate 0.05%. A total of 130 adults with skull-base pathologies were randomized, 12 were excluded before randomization for failure to meet inclusion criteria (n=9) or refusal to participate (n=3). The investigators excluded patients with evidence of infection adjacent to the surgical site, allergies to preparation methods, those who underwent craniotomy during the same admission, and pediatric patients.
