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.
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of utilizing an Elsevier clinical skill platform in clinical nursing education. 1.2. Research hypotheses 1. Nursing students who assign for the critical care clinical course modules using Elsevier clinical skill platform obtain a higher score in the OSCE than who receive clinical Lab session on campus. 2. Nursing students who utilize an Elsevier clinical skill are more satisfied in the clinical education journey.
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of different physical therapy protocols in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis patients. Patients in this study were randomly assigned into 3 groups. Group A received ultrasound therapy protocol, group B received radial shock wave therapy protocol and group C received a combination of both ultrasound therapy and radial shock wave therapy protocol. All patients were also received a traditional physical therapy program. Foot function was evaluated by foot function index and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion was measured by Baseline® bubble inclinometer at the baseline and 4 weeks after treatment
To investigate the effect of a 3-month, trampoline-based stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) exercises on muscle strength and postural control in children with Down syndrome.
A Multicenter Retrospective Study to understand the clinical characteristics, treatment pathway and resource utilization for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia A retrospective, multi-centre, observational study to describe disease characteristics, treatment patterns, treatment-related outcomes, and resource utilization for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients in multiple international regions
For proving the potential of tropical medicaments on clinical parameters of periodontitis, a comprehensive assessment is required between therapeutic medicaments. The main aim of the study was to clinically evaluate and compare the efficacy of indocyanine green mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) and aleo vera (AV) extract when used as an adjunct therapy to scaling and root planning (SRP) for treatment of chronic periodontitis. One hundred and fifty patients included in this study were randomly distributed in three treatment groups Group I (SRP), Group II (SRP+PDT) and Group III (SRP+AV). Four clinical parameters plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BoP), periodontal (PD) pocket depth and clinical attachment level (CAL) were evaluated at three time points baseline, 3rd and 6th month respectively. Additionally the amount of three inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8 and TNF- α in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was identified using enzyme linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA) technique.
Aim: The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study was to compare the preoperative oral tramadol medication with ibuprofen and acetaminophen on the success of inferior alveolar nerve blocks (IANB) of mandibular posterior teeth in patients experiencing symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Methodology: The study included five study groups, each consists of 50 patients who exhibited symptomatic irreversible pulpitis of a mandibular first or second molar. The patients received identically appearing capsules containing either tramadol 50 mg, tramadol 100 mg, ibuprofen 600 mg, ibuprofen 600 mg/acetaminophen 1000 mg or placebo by mouth 60 min before the administration of an IANB. Endodontic access was begun 15 min after completion of the IANB, and all patients used for data analysis had profound lip numbness. The IANB success was defined as no or mild pain (visual analog scale recordings) on pulpal access or instrumentation. The data were analysed using chi-square χ2 and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Muscle fatigue results in decreased ability in muscles to generate force. Kinesio Tape may reverse the adverse effects of fatigue. Thus this study will examine the acute effects of Kinesio tape on muscle fatigue.
The World Health Organization ranks Saudi Arabia as having the 7th highest rate of type-2 diabetes in the world. This therefore makes diabetes the most challenging health problem facing Saudi Arabia. Importantly, physical activity has been shown to improve disease symptoms and overall health in patients with type-2 diabetes. However, findings relating to the prevalence of physical inactivity in the Saudi population confirm that a sedentary lifestyle is on the rise, within physical inactivity levels in adults being 80.5%. Therefore, interventions aimed at reducing physical inactivity using bespoke modalities pertinent to Saudi Arabia are clearly warranted. The purpose of this research project is to undertake a feasibility randomised control trial, examining the effects of a 12-week home-based physical activity programme on HbA1c, blood lipids, fasting glucose and other indices of health-related quality of life in Saudi Arabian adults with type-2 diabetes.
Bariatric surgery has been reported to be the most effective treatment option for losing and maintaining body weight and improving comorbidities and mortality associated with morbid obesity. Nevertheless, even though physical activity is recommended to optimize bariatric surgery results. Very little is known, about whether engaging in an exercise program after surgery can provide additional improvement in health outcomes. While to date there are relatively few researches studied the effect of exercise in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of silastic septal splint in reducing the rates of complications, decreasing the post-operative pain, and improving satisfaction in comparison to quilting suturing technique. Methods: A single center randomized controlled trial, including adult above the age of 18. A total of 50 participants who underwent septoplasty were enrolled and randomly assigned into two groups, Silastic group (n=25), and quilting group (n=25). Nasal obstruction severity was assessed by using an Arabic validated version of NOSE score, preoperatively then 3 days, one week and one month postoperatively. Post-operative complications were assessed at outpatient clinic 1 week and 1 month postoperatively. Pain was assessed by a 10-point numerical scales via phone call on the 3rd day postoperative.
