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.
A study to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain (ICOAP) measurement tool into the Arabic language, and assess its psychometric properties.
An argument to analyse the Immediate effect of dry needling or extra corporeal shock wave therapy on hand grip strength in normal healthy individuals with a hypothesis of dry needling or shock wave on forearm muscles have influence on the hand grip strength.
Globally, it is estimated that 2.4 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and 486 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth . The highest estimate of dental caries prevalence in Saudi Arabia was 95% with maximum DMFT of 7.34 among 3-7 years old children . Also, it was found that 78% of 6-9 years old children in Dammam had caries with an average of 3.66±3.13 DMFT. The objectives of this study are: 1. To assess the effectiveness of the Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) in arresting caries. 2. To assess the antibacterial effect of the Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF). 3. To assess parents' and children's satisfaction and acceptance. The aims of our study are to assess the effectiveness of SDF in arresting caries in primary dentition among children visiting Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University in Dammam, Saudi Arabia and to assess parental acceptance and satisfaction. The expected outcome the results of this study will help in understanding the effectiveness SDF in arresting dental caries in this target population especially that it was recently approved for clinical use in Saudi Arabia.
study the effect of behavioral therapy and interferential current on management of bladder dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis
Background and aim: Diabetes mellitus as a chronic disease is on rise on parallel with diseases. Magnesium (Mg) supplementation may help control glycemic response among type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. We aim to present an overview of the possible influence of drinking water in general and mineral water in particular in improving glycemic parameters in persons with type 2 diabetes. Method: A randomized double blind controlled clinical trial will be conducted at the Endocrine clinic (KFHU) on 900 of patients with T2DM. All subjects participated in this study will be randomly allotted into three groups (each group N=300) to which the three waters were supplied in similar bottles marked A "tap water", B "bottle water" and C "control without any intervention". Blood samples will be taken before and after the intervention to determine the serum concentration of magnesium, Calcium, Vit D, creatinine, FBS, serum Ca, HbA1c, fasting C-peptide levels, fasting insulin levels and insulin sensitivity. Magnesium and calcium levels in urine will be expressed as the creatinine ratio
Aging can be defined as sequential deterioration that occurs in elderly people including weakness, loss of mobility, decline of physical capabilities, increase susceptibility to disease and many other age-related physiological changes .The beginning of old age in most developed countries is about 60 or 65 years old. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and most commonly type 2 DM is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases affecting old people in Saudi Arabia which might be resulted from decline in physical activities. Polyneuropathy (PN) and its serious consequences represent the most common complication in diabetic mellitus which could contribute to an increased gait abnormality and risk of falling.
This is a variable length study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhaler in adults and adolescents with severe asthma inadequately controlled with standard of care.
Osteoporosis is the most prevalent metabolic bone disease. Although osteoporosis is widely considered to be much more prevalent in women approximately 39% of new osteoporotic fractures estimated to have occurred worldwide in 2000 were in men. A number of studies investigate the effect of physical therapy modalities in treatment of osteoporosis. The use of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) represents an attractive alternative for osteoporosis. Previous studies suggested that pulsed electromagnetic field could be beneficial for increase bone mineral density in osteoporotic patients, but there is a lack of knowledge about the long term effect on several parameters.
SLE disease in Saudi Arabia is yet not well defined especially in a population with high consanguinity and high inbreeding coefficient . Up until now, there has been no prospective cohort study for SLE patients in Saudi Arabia. As a result, current published literature is focused on retrospective chart reviews which are subjected to many forms of bias. so the investigator proposed this prospective registry which will follow open cohort study design aiming to provide better understanding of disease presentation, course and outcomes especially if complemented by detailed immunological, molecular, genetic and microbiome data.
The ankle joint sustains injuries particularly in athletics/sports activities at a high rate, resulting in loss of static & dynamic balance, neuromuscular control, and diminished lower extremity's function. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two balance-training protocols on balance, proprioception, range of motion (ROM), and pain in male athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Both the balance training protocols were proven to be equally effective in improving the static & dynamic balance, proprioception, ROM, and pain in athletes with CAI.
