There are about 1320 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.
in this study, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effect of adding exercises using virtual reality on achievements in patients having breast cancer and conducted surgical treatment
Background: Dysglycemia in critically ill patients is common, where 40% to 54% of patients were found to be hyperglycemic on intensive care unit admission. Several randomized controlled trials (RCT) were conducted to address the importance of glycemic control during critical illness on patient's outcomes. The American association of diabetes recommends initiation of insulin infusion for critically ill patients aiming to target glucose levels 140-180 mg/dl. However, several limitations prevent the use of insulin infusion in critically ill such as the requirements of frequent blood glucose measurement and nursing staff workload, which in turn led to the use of the subcutaneous rapid acting and basal insulin during critical illness. The evidence on the use of subcutaneous insulin therapy compared to insulin infusion is mainly derived from observational studies that showed conflicting results. Multiple RCTs demonstrated the comparable efficacy of degludec versus glargine in blood glycemic control and better safety profile in terms of nocturnal hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia in the outpatient/inpatient diabetic population. Studies addressing the role, safety, and efficacy of degludec in critically ill patients are lacking. Study aim: To assess the effectiveness of using insulin degludec as basal insulin in conjunction with subcutaneous regular insulin sliding scale (ISS) in the glycemic control in critically ill patients.
The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of non-invasive photodynamic therapy by Curcumin and photo-bio-modulation low level (LL) laser treatment in managing mucositis induced by chemotherapy in pediatric patients. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted involving 90 patients aged between 3 years and 15 years. The trial will be open, controlled, and blinded, and the patients will be divided into two groups.
A Multicountry, Multicenter, Non-interventional, Retrospective Study to determine Real-world treatment patterns and associated outcomes after FIRST LINE Osimertinib in patients with advanced and Metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR-activating mutations in the GCC Region
This study aim to investagte the effectivness of sensory integartion balance training during gait training with obstecles and stimulation to different sensation, in comparission to gait training with obstecles without sensory stimulation among children with acuired brain injury
This study aimed to determine the effects of different manual mobilization techniques on pain, muscle strength, and functional limitations in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (Knee OA). A double-blinded pretest-posttest experimental study. This research employed a two-arm parallel group randomized comparative design. A total of thirty participants diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned and equally divided into groups 1 and 2, each containing 15 participants. Both Group 1 and Group 2 underwent Maitland and Mulligan mobilization techniques, alongside a common Interferential therapy (IFT) regimen, over the course of three sessions per week for a duration of four weeks. The assessment of pain and functional disability outcomes was conducted through the application of The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores at the baseline and four weeks following the intervention. To determine the effects of the intervention within and between the groups, the outcome scores were subjected to analysis using both dependent and independent t-tests.
Pain in the lower back is a major concern in today's era due to prolonged sitting in two-wheeler riders, mainly due to hamstring tightness. It also creates physical disability and impairment in activities of daily living. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of muscle energy technique (MET) and self-myofascial release (SMFR) using the foam roller on hamstring flexibility, dynamic balance, and physical disability amongst two-wheeler riders with chronic low back pain. Participants were randomized into two intervention groups, MET and SMFR, using the envelope method, with each group having 20 participants. Hamstring flexibility and range of motion for knee extension and the lower back were assessed using the active knee extension test and sit and reach test, the dynamic balance was assessed by the star excursion balance test (SEBT) and physical disability by Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, (RMDQ). Measurements were taken at baseline and after 4-week of intervention. The level of significance value was set at 95% (p <0.05).
The aim of this study is to describe the baseline demographic, clinical characteristics, and Healthcare Resource Use (HCRU) of adult (≥18 years) COVID-19 patients who have been prescribed nirmatrelvir, ritonavir treatment.
To predict the majority of Mallampati score for the patients in Qassim region who undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery.
Periodontitis is a widely prevalent disease worldwide that has serious public health consequences. Its prognosis includes tooth loss and edentulism, a condition that negatively affects chewing causing functional disability; and esthetics causing social impairment. Consequently, periodontitis may end up causing marked impairment of the quality of life of the affected patients, impairment of general health and increasing the dental care costs significantly. Dysbiotic changes in the oral microbiome arise after some microbial species are enriched by primary products resulting from tissue breakdown due to gingivitis. It then triggers the host cells to produce proteinases that mediate loss of marginal periodontal ligaments, apical migration of the junctional epithelium and apical spread of bacterial biofilm. However, the dysbiotic changes may be more likely to occur in some patients rather than others due to certain risk factors including smoking and immuneinflammatory responses. Thus, the severity of periodontal disease in these patients would be higher. Tobacco smoking is no longer considered to be a habit, but a dependence to nicotine and a chronic relapsing medical disorder. Among its detrimental effects on general health, tobacco smoking increases the risk of periodontitis by 2 to 5 folds. This takes place by increasing the dysbiotic changes in the oral microbiome and so, increasing the severity and extent of the periodontal disease at a younger age. Therefore, smoking has been considered as a modifying factor of periodontitis that should be considered upon periodontitis case grading definition. Therefore, this research aims to identify the difference in dysbiosis between the three categories of periodontitis, trying to understand the cause of the resistance of each category to treatment compared to the milder category.
