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.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease where the body is unable to metabolize carbohydrates properly either due to a lack of insulin production or abnormal insulin function. In recent times, it has been considered a global healthcare concern because of its high prevalence rate (9.2 %) and other associated health consequences. After being infected with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), the Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) sufferer experiences the following symptoms; reduced exercise tolerance, decreased muscle strength, altered respiratory functions, cognitive impairments and abnormal psychosomatic behaviour, which affects the overall well-being of the patient. To prevent or delay these clinical features and the associated consequences of type 2 Diabetes mellitus, the regular body works out and physical training is suggested either alone or in combination with diet modification. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that 12 months of supervised tele-physical therapy can positively influence patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus following COVID-19 infection. The reports of the study would be helpful for the clinicians and the physical therapists to make this as evidence for using tele-physical therapy in type 2 Diabates mellitus patients.
The aim of our study is to measure the level of awareness, preconceptions, and level of fear regarding epidural analgesia among childbearing women in KKUH in Riyadh.
A study of the effect of three different nonsurgical methods for management of abnormal uterine bleeding caused by cesarean scar niche. The study was conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of the Saudi German Hospital in Madinah- Saudi Arabia, during the period between March 2019 to October 2022. The study protocol was in accordance with the Helsinki declaration 1964 and the later amendments. A prospective approval was granted by the human research ethics committee of the hospital and the study participants have signed an informed consent.
this study aims to compare the effect of high-intensity resistance exercises measured using the 10-repetition maximum versus low-intensity aerobic exercises on muscle performance, physical function and quality of life in chronic kidney patients with sarcopenia who recently recovered from COVID-19 infection
Laparoscopic bariatric procedures nowadays are employed under ERAS protocol as an ambulatory surgery. Pain after laparoscopic procedures arises significantly from port site incisions in the anterior abdominal wall, and shoulder pain (referred from visceral pain). Narcotic medications are utilized to manage postoperative pain, but its disadvantages include, increased post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), ileus, sedation and delayed hospital discharge. Oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (OSTAP) had been studied before and found to be effective in reducing post-operative morphine usage and produce good analgesia for about 24hours postoperatively. The ultrasound-guided external oblique intercostal (EOI) block is a new technique which proved to produce unilateral analgesia at thoracic dermatomes supplying the anterior and lateral aspects of the upper abdomen. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that US-guided EOI blocks can produce more reduction in opioid usage during the first 24 h after of laparoscopic bariatric surgeries when compared to oblique subcostal TAP (OSTAP) block.
Groin injuries are among the three most common and time-consuming injuries in soccer, accounting for 19% of all injuries, with 0.1-2.1 injuries per 1000 hours of play. The Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) has been showing promising results in improving Eccentric Hip Adduction Strength (EHADS), leading to reducing the risk of groin pain and injury. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of CAE on adductors strength, hip joint range of motion (ROM), and Patient-reported outcome measures among athletes with groin pain or injury. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the CAE improve EHAD strength, hip joint ROM, and patient-reported outcome measures among soccer players with groin pain or injury? Researchers will assess the participants' pre and post-intervention to determine the effects of CAE on adductors strength, hip joint ROM, and Patient-reported outcome measures.
Fluoridated desensitizers the frequently used for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) with Iontophoresis. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the immediate and long-term effects of 10% Propolis with 2% sodium fluoride and 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride when applied along with Iontophoresis for the treatment of cervical dentin hypersensitivity (DH). Single-center, parallel, and double-blinded randomized clinical trials were conducted on systemically healthy patients, complaining about DH, with at least two sites. 10% propolis, 2% Sodium Fluoride and 1.23% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride were used as desensitizers along with the Iontophoresis. After applying specific stimuli any decrease in DH was measured at baseline before and after application, on the 14th day after use, and at 28th-day post-intervention time intervals.
The present study aimed to investigate and compare the acute effect of local vibration (63 Hz vs 42 Hz frequencies) on the biceps brachii muscles on the elbow joint position sense (JPS) in healthy young men. Forty-five healthy young men aged 19 to 30 years were enrolled in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to receive either 63 Hz (n=15) or 42 Hz (n=15) or sham vibration (control group) (n=15). Participants in the experimental group received five bouts of 1-minute of each vibration exposure localized to the biceps brachii muscle, with a 1-minute rest between the bouts. Active elbow joint position error (in degrees) was selected as an outcome measure to assess elbow JPS. To measure active elbow joint position error, the subject was made to sit on the chair with eyes closed and shoulders in 0 degree of abduction and elbows fully extended. The examiner passively moved the elbow to 90 degrees of flexion (target position) and maintained it for 10 seconds. The subject was requested to memorize the target position. The subject was asked to actively flex the elbow to the target position from the initial starting position (elbow fully extended) and hold it for 5 seconds. Three trials were conducted, with a 30-second rest given between each trial. The target and reproduced angles in each trial were measured using a standard plastic goniometer. The difference between the target and reproduced angles in each trial was calculated to determine active elbow joint position error. Measurements were taken at baseline and immediately after the vibration protocol.
To evaluate the effect of Mulligan's mobilization with movement in osteoarthritis of the knee.
Cognitive behavioral therapy sessions can effectively reduce distress in mothers of children with autism. here we emphasize on the role of problem solving appraisal in CBT sessions to improve problem solving skills ability and minimize psychological distress . pre- intervention assessment (T1) for all participants , then designed 8 sessions for study group will apply . post intervention assessment (T2) will conduct immediately after CBT sessions
