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 different timing of insulin Glargine administration (early-6 pm versus standard bedtime-10 pm) as part of standard of care in patients with type1 diabetes who wish to fast the month of Ramadan.
Background: Keratoconus leads to gradual progressive loss of vision in young and adult patients. For visual rehabilitation and to hinder keratoconus progressionthe investigators designed this study to help the keratoconus patients to improve and stabilize their vision. Design: This is a prospective consecutive uncontrolled study. Patients and Methods: This study includes 36 eyes of 36 patients with moderate degree o keratoconus (KC) undergoing combined wave front guided transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TPRK) and accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (ACXL) after intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), corneal indices based on Scheimpflug tomography, higher-order aberrations (HOAs) will be evaluated at baseline, after ICRS implantation, and at1, 3, 6, and 12 months after combined TPRK and CXL.
The Mother Child Education Program (MOCEP) was developed by the Mother Child Education Foundation (ACEV). MOCEP is implemented in Saudi Arabia through a 25-week program conducted by ACEV-trained groups with a curriculum for the child that is implemented at home by the mothers. The program is designed to (1) promote parenting skills and bolster strategies that support school readiness among mothers of 3-to-6- year-old children, and (2) enhance social cohesion in the family and community. Rigorous evaluations of MOCEP have been conducted in several contexts, but not yet in the context of Saudi Arabia. Thus, the present study aims to rigorously evaluate the impact of MOCEP on child and parent outcomes among families in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
. Coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) appeared first in China late 2019 and caused an acute respiratory disease referred to as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). SARS-CoV2 is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as pandemic and affected nations worldwide, leading to close borders and major economical struggle. The ongoing viral threat due to the lack of effective therapies and vaccination might prolonged this economical challenge and many businesses will face huge financial constraints leading to laying off labors, an increase in the unemployment rate, and major companies' bankruptcies. However, returning to normal business operations should be done with a safety focus and not be at the cost of global health and wellbeing. Immunity against COVID-19 is going to be a major determinant for a future safe work environment and will reduce the viral infection risk. Therefore, PI is suggesting that if an employee has antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 confirmed by serological testing, he or she could go back to work safely with taking the necessary precautions.
C3731003 is a pivotal Phase 3 study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a single IV infusion of PF-07055480 / giroctocogene fitelparvovec (Recombinant AAV2/6 Human Factor VIII Gene Therapy) in adult male participants with moderately severe or severe hemophilia A (FVIII:C≤1%) for the study duration of 5 years. The study will enroll eligible participants who have been followed on routine prophylaxis with FVIII products in the Lead-In study C0371004.
This study will help us in understanding the role of erector spinae block (ESPB) for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing upper GI laparoscopy surgeries. The surgeries included in this group include laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic gastrectomy, laparoscopic umblical or epigastric hernia repair. Patients aged between 18 and 65 years, scheduled to undergo any upper GI laparoscopy surgeries with an ASA score of 1 or 2 will be included in the study. This is a prospective randomised controlled trial which will compare two groups receiving either erector spinae block or no block for postoperative pain control after upper GI laparoscopy surgeries
Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of instrument-based mobilization compared with manual mobilization in patients with non-specific low back pain (NLBP), in terms of spinal muscle activation, decrease in pain, and improvement in range of motion (ROM). Design: Randomized clinical trial, double blind. Participants and interventions: A total of 66 participants with localized NLBP will be divided into 2 groups matched for sex, age, and body mass index. The intervention group will receive central postero-anterior mobilization with a force of 150 N through physiotherapy instrument mobilization at the level of pain in the lumbar spine. The control group will receive central postero-anterior grade III mobilization through the pisiform grip method at the level of pain in the lumbar spine. Main outcome measures: Measurements will be taken before the intervention, after the 1st session, after the 6th session, and at 4 weeks follow-up. Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging will be done to identify lumbar multifidus (LM) activation through the measurement of muscle thickness at the level of L5-L4 vertebrae, during rest and lower-extremity movement. Each participant will self-rate the pain intensity in the lumbar spine according to the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). The pressure-pain threshold (PPT) will be measured using an algometer. Lumbar ROM will be measured using a dual inclinometer method in flexion and extension. The results will be compared between the intervention and control groups through mixed analysis of variance for LM thickness, lumbar ROM, PPT, and NPRS.
Type 2 Diabetes Meletus(T2DM) is a global health concern. The incidence of T2DM globally is increasing exponentially partly due to unhealthy food habits and sedentary life style.exercise and nutritional intervention is long being reported to improve glycemic control and improve quality of life among individuals with T2DM. Moderate intensity of walking for 30 minutes is proven to regulate good metabolic control. however, in over weight elderly individuals, joint pain or arthritis walking be a challenging task. therefore, walking on sand which is reported to be easy on joints would be a alternative for those patients.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ,caused by the newly identified Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, has shown substantial global spread affecting over 2 million people and claiming over 120,000 lives to date. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The spectrum of manifestations of COVID19 infection ranges from mild flu-like symptoms to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with an associated fatality rate of 1.4%. The suggested mode of entry of the SARS-CoV-2 into the human respiratory epithelium is through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein expressed on alveolar cell surfaces. This entry mechanism has sparked the interest of the scientific community. Preliminary epidemiological reports showed an increased risk of ARDS in hypertensive COVID-19 patients. This leads to the hypothesis that hypertensives treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) are at an increased risk of developing complicated COVID-19 infections . Other studies have refuted these claims as unsupported. Studies revealing the up regulation of ACE2 in cells of patients treated with ACE-I or ARBs were the underlying foundation for these claims. This study aims to assess the impact of ACE-I and/or ARBs on the prognosis of patients with COVID19.
