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 aims to examine the effect of the text message platform (WhatsApp) on the adherence to home exercise programs, pain and physical function among middle age and older adults with knee OA in two public hospitals in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia
This study aims to investigate the effect of adding of integrated physiotherapy program to the conservative medical therapy on quality of life and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Patients in this study will be randomly assigned into 2 groups. Group A (control group) will receive conservative medical treatment only which prescribed by Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist, while group B (experimental group) will receive the conservative medical treatment prescribed by ENT specialist in addition to physiotherapy program. Quality of Life (QoL) will be evaluated by Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI) and PPT will be evaluated by digital algometer at the baseline and immediately after the end of tenth session of treatment for both groups.
This study was conducted to compare the effect of Pilates-based core strengthening (PsCS) and plyometric-based muscle loading (PlyoML) and their combination on postural control, balance, and mobility in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (ULCP). Eighty-one children with ULCP were randomly allocated to the PsCS (n = 27), PlyoML (n = 27), or combined intervention (n = 27) group. Participants in the three groups were assessed for postural control, balance, and mobility on the pre and post-treatment occasions.
Background: Chronic neck pain (CNP) is a major health problem affecting individuals with high prevalence and subsequent complications which interfere with the physical, personnel, and psychological status. The capacitive and resistive radiofrequency therapy (CRRT) is a relatively new treatment modality used in rehabilitation with no evidence on its efficacy on chronic neck pain. Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of the CRRT alone or with manual therapy in the treatment of patients with patients with non-specific CNP. Hypotheses Is the application of the CRRT when applied alone or with combination with manual therapy and exercises effective in decreasing pain and improving the function and strength in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain?? Methods: 60 patients will participle in the study. They will be recruited from the hospital in mecca, Saudi Arabia. They will be randomized into three groups. Group I will be treated with stretching exercises (EX) and manual therapy (Manual + EX group). Group II will be treated with CRRT plus exercises (CRRT+ EX group). Group III will be treated by EX plus manual therapy applied during CRRT for groups (Manual + CRRT+ EX group). For groups II and III, capacitive electrodes will be applied for five minutes. Then the resistive electrodes will be applied for 10 minutes and finally the capacitive will be applied again for another five minutes. Assessment of the neck pain, function, CROM, trigger points, neck muscle strength as well as neck angles will be performed. Measurement will be performed before, after 6 weeks, and 6 months of treatment as follow up measurements. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to compare between and within groups. The level of statistical significance is set as P<0.05.
Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in people worldwide. Traditional clinical treatment of dental decay has developed on the basis of the removal of carious tissues with high-speed handpieces and slow-rotating instruments, inducing pain, disturbing sounds, and vibrations. In addition, this method comprises the tooth structure by removing both "caries-affected dentin" and "caries-infected dentin". The use of the chemo-mechanical caries removal (CMCR) method is one of the main implementations of the minimal intervention dentistry idea accepted in the last ten years. It includes the selective removal of "caries-infected dentin" while preserving the healthy "caries-affected dentin" that has the ability to remineralize. The CMCR method differs from the traditional surgical method in that it selectively removes carious dentin. Therefore, it is less destructive and less painful, thereby promoting a positive attitude towards visiting dentists. A novel agent for the CMCR method named "BRIX3000®" by the laboratory Brix Medical Science has been released onto the dental market in 2016. It is a papain-based gel derived from latex and fruits of green papaya (Carica Papaya) that works as a chemical debridement with a unique technology called Encapsulating Buffer Emulsion (EPE). Investigations are required to evaluate and compare the outcomes of two CMCR agents, "BRIX3000®" and "Carie-CareTM," versus the traditional surgical methods. Therefore, the present study aims to perform a clinical and microbiological evaluation of caries removal using "BRIX3000®" and "Carie-CareTM" versus the traditional surgical methods in primary molars among children in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia.
A Randomized trial comparing two different timing of taking thyroxine in patients with Hypothyroidism during fasting the month of Ramadan.
The frequency of oxygen desaturation during emergency intubation is not uncommon. However, the significance and clinical sequalae of hypoxia during emergency intubation in critically ill, non-trauma patients is not known. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate neurologic function post-intubation of critically ill, non-trauma patients. Providing knowledge on whether the degree of hypoxia during emergency intubation is associated with worse neurologic outcomes, will guide clinical practice to ameliorate that level of hypoxia
The aim of this study is to develop an international multicenter registry of patient data and outcomes for patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for emergent large vessel occlusion with residual underlying stenosis following successful revascularization.
This observational matched prospective study aims to assess the effectiveness and adherence for inclisiran in combination with Lipid lowering therapies or Lipid lowering treatments (LLT) compared to other LLTs under conditions of routine clinical practice.
The aim is to investigate the effect of mirror therapy on hand functions in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
