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.
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 goal of this clinical trial is to compare effects of retro walking exercise versus forward walking using lower body positive pressure on knee pain, physical function, and quadriceps muscle strength in people with mild to moderate knee OA. The secondary aim is to compare effects of retro walking exercise versus forward walking using lower body positive pressure on mobility function, balance, and self-reported health outcomes in people with mild to moderate knee OA. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does retro walking exercise improve knee pain, physical function and Quadriceps muscle strength compared to forward walking exercise using lower body positive pressure in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis? - Does retro walking exercise improve Mobility function, balance, and self-reported health outcomes compared to forward walking exercise using lower body positive pressure in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis? Participants will walk (retro versus forward) on a lower body positive pressure treadmill. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare [retro walking compares to forward walking] to see if [improve in knee pain, physical function, and quadriceps muscles strength]
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
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and associated complications became globally serious arousing health problems. Aim: To evaluate the effect of Antigravity treadmill training on gait performance and functional balance in patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. Design: Single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation unit. Population: Sixty-eight eligible participants with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy were randomly allocated to Five groups: group-A (100% weight-bearing; n=14), group-B (70% weight-bearing; n=13), group-C (50% weight-bearing; n=14), group-D (30% weight-bearing; n=13), group-E (control group; n=14). Methods: Participants in study groups A, B, C, and D received moderate intensity (50-70% heart rate reserve) aerobic exercise training program on the antigravity treadmill (AlterG, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA) 3 times/week for 12-weeks. The gait performance (using the dynamic gait index) and the functional balance (using the Berg balance scale) variables were evaluated at 3-time points: baseline (evaluation-1), after 12 training weeks (evaluation-2), and 3 months post-training cessation (evaluation-3).
In recent years, athletes have frequently utilized Kinesio tape (KT) to enhance their performance. Despite widespread use, data regarding its efficacy and mechanism of action is lacking among healthy endurance athletes. This study aims to determine the effect of KT application on acute-onset muscle soreness and the extensibility of the calf muscles in endurance athletes.
Brief Summary: Definition: A short description of the clinical study, including a brief statement of the clinical study's hypothesis, written in language intended for the lay public. Limit: 5000 characters. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between speech features and severity of positive and negative clinical symptoms in Arabic speaking patients with schizophrenia. Individuals will be invited to participate in this study because (1) they have a confirmed clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia; (2) they plan to receive routine clinical care for schizophrenia at one of the four participating sites; (3) they speak Arabic as a first language. Participants must be between the ages of 18-65 years. Participation will involve seven visits consisting of one baseline visit and six monthly follow-up visits. All participants will continue to receive routine clinical care. Participation in this research will involve providing speech samples using standardized tasks collected using an electronic device. Additionally, study team members will assess positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia using validated questionnaires.
Oligohydramnios happens in 1-5% of term pregnancies. The clinical significance of isolated oligohydramnios been a matter of debate. We aimed in this study to investigate the impact of isolated oligohydramnios on the mode of delivery and risk of adverse perinatal outcome.
