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.
To compare the effectiveness of the community mobile outreach approach in improving treatment outcomes (success rate) among tuberculosis patients with those being treated with facility based directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) in Jeddah region.
The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Tresiba® works in real world patients. Patients will get Tresiba® as prescribed to them by their study doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 8 months. Patients will be asked questions about their health and diabetes treatment as part of their normal study doctor's appointment.
This study aimed to assess and compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of LLLT and FC for pulpotomy in human primary teeth. One hundred and six primary molars from 36 children aging five to eight years were included and randomly assigned into two equal groups; LLLT group and FC group. Teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3, 6 and 12 months.
The objective of this clinical study was to prospectively compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of BiodentineTM pulpotomies versus formocresol pulpotomies in children vital primary molars. A randomized, split-mouth study design was used with a sample of 37 healthy children aged 4- to 8-year-old. A total of 56 pairs (112 teeth) of carious primary teeth, 1 pair per child, were selected for treatment. One tooth from each pair was randomly assigned to either the BiodentineTM pulpotomy group or the formocresol pulpotomy group. Children were followed-up at 3, 6 and 12 months for clinical evaluation and at 6 and 12 months for radiographic evaluation. Data were collected, tabulated and analyzed using Fisher exact and McNemar tests. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity with an unknown cause that affects adolescents aged 10 or older. A standing posterior-anterior radiograph with a Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees is used to make the diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the spinal deformity, conservative treatments and surgery are used to treat AIS. Patients whose spinal curvature is greater than 45 degrees are typically considered for surgery. The majority of patients with AIS receive conservative treatments to prevent and slow the progression of the curve. 2 Orthotic intervention (OI) and scoliosis-specific exercise (SSE) are commonly recommended by the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment for patients with a curvature between 20 and 45 degrees. Self correction exercises are the group of spinal extension, lateral spinal flexion and rotational exercises performed to correct spinal deviation. Exercises are performed in a different fundamental postures.
In this study, the investigators assess the safety and efficacy of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty in adolescents with obesity.
Title: The effect of cinnamon supplementation on ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, Jeddah 2019: Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-controlled trial Phase: III Population: 118 women with polycystic ovary syndrome will be recruited from Obstetrics and Gynecology clinics in King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah 2019. Subject Participation Duration: Each participant will be followed for three months. Intervention: 2g of cinnamon capsules daily will be provided. Objectives: Primary Objective: 1. To compare the effectiveness of cinnamon supplement in combination with clomiphene citrate versus clomiphene citrate alone on ovulation in women with PCOS, in King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital in Jeddah 2019. 2. To measure the difference in insulin resistance after three months of cinnamon supplementation in women with PCOS in King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah 2019. 3. To determine the effect of cinnamon and CC on menstrual cyclicity, approximated by menstrual frequency, during the study period, in women with PCOS in King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah 2019 4. To evaluate the quality of life in women with PCOS in King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah 2019. Secondary Objectives: - To measure the pregnancy rate in women with PCOS in King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah 2019 Description of Study Design: The participants will be randomized in 1:1 fashion. Allocation concealment will be ensured using similar bottles labeled by letters A and B, to receive either the combination of cinnamon supplement and clomiphene citrate or clomiphene citrate with placebo. First visit: Patients will be evaluated during the early follicular phase for progesterone level and HOMA-IR and QUICK-I. Follow up: 3 months. Last Visit: Patients will be re-evaluated to compare the difference.
Influence of mental practice and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on muscle strength of upper limb and hand grip will be measured in 30 to 50 healthy students with right dominant hand, Their age will be ranged from 18 to 26 years old. Subjects will randomly assigned to either proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) group or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation with mental practice (PNFMP) group.
The objectives of this study are to assess the risk of ketoacidosis, severe urinary tract infections, volume depletion, and dehydration associated in patients with T2DM initiating Empagliflozin compared to patient initiating a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors over a 12-month period of follow-up, including the month of Ramadan
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women across the world, accounting for 25.2% of cancer cases among females and 14.7% of cancer-related deaths among females worldwide. The survival rates are markedly lower in the developing countries compared to developed countries, as well as the age at diagnosis. Core management of breast cancer includes surgical removal of the tumor either by breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy (removal of the whole breast). Choosing between these two procedures may be influenced by factors that have yet to be studied in Saudi Arabia. The investigators aimed to determine the prevalence of BCS and mastectomy and the factors that may influence the choice of procedure. This retrospective study was carried out by reviewing the records of female breast cancer patients who underwent BCS or mastectomy at King Abdulaziz University Hospital between 2009 to June 2017, excluding those with metastasis (distant spread of the cancer) or recurrence. Using frequencies for the rate, and multivariate tests, the investigators analyzed different demographic, clinicopathological, and radiological factors to detect correlations with procedure choice.
