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.
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the the effect of Thera Togs soft orthotic undergarment on modulation of the spinal geometry and mobility in sagittal plan in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of macitentan 75 mg versus placebo on exercise capacity at Week 28 in participants with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of FES on stimulation of the anterior tibial group by using the WalkAide foot drop stimulator on improving walking and balance abilities in children with hemiplegic CP.
This is a Phase III multi-center, randomized, two-arm parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of MBG453 or placebo added to azacitidine in adult subjects with intermediate, high or very high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) as per IPSS-R, or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia-2 (CMML-2) who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) according to medical judgment by the investigator. The purpose of the current study is to assess clinical effects of MBG453 in combination with azacitidine in adult subjects with IPSS-R intermediate, high, very high risk MDS and CMML-2.
The purpose of the study is to compare overall response rate (ORR) between treatment groups in participants with higher-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) who are not eligible for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
To assess endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty in comparison to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy before and 3 months after the procedure in terms of multiple nutrition-related factors, quality of life, weight and other related parameters.
Purpose: The aim of the study is to determine the combined effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and activities in virtual reality on the functional recovery of the upper extremity function of the children with hemiparesis. Subjects: Forty children with infantile stroke with age group between (6-12 years) will be divided into two groups, the experimental group will receive tDCS plus VR while the control group will receive sham tDCS plus VR. All the children will receive tDCS for 30minutes with 1.5 mA intensity over the dominant motor cortex. Both groups will be treated for three times a week for 6 weeks. Instrumentation: The the Fugl-Meyer assessment, motricity index, and Modified Barthel index will be used to assess the dependent variables after the intervention.
Introduction: Various commercial premixed parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions have been introduced to clinical practice in 3-compartment large volume bags. Olimel N9E is the formulary premixed PN formula at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH & RC). The commercial premixed PN was associated with a significant cost reduction compared to the compounded PN, with lower incidence of infectious complications, compared to the compounded PN formula. Electrolyte irregularities are commonly encountered with PN use. Patients who develop high serum potassium, magnesium or phosphate levels while receiving premixed PN are shifted to a compounded PN with lower electrolyte content. This study aims to describe the incidence of shifting of premixed PN to a compounded PN secondary to high serum electrolytes in surgical patients receiving commercial premixed PN. Methods: This is a prospective, cohort, study, to be conducted at KFSH & RC, Riyadh. This study is proposed to commence after obtaining the approval of the Research Ethical Committee at KFSH & RC. Patients enrolment will start after the approval at KFSH & RC, by data collection phase, that might extend for a suspected 6-month until achieving the target sample size of 55 patients. The analysis phase will follow and elapse for 2 months. This is followed by 2 months to get the initial abstract. All patients will have their potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus levels assessed daily in the morning for the first 7 days of PN initiation. After the first week of PN support, according to the routine laboratories, electrolytes will be assessed at a minimum of three times a week thereafter while on PN. There will be no extra laboratory work obtained for the study purpose. The incidence of shifting from premixed PN to compounded PN will be assessed and reported. A description of the characteristics of patients who develop high serum level of electrolytes will be undertaken using regression analysis.
Medtronic is sponsoring the Micra AV Registry using the Micra AV system for continued surveillance of chronic atrioventricular synchronous pacing as intended, through the collection of data based on routine clinical care practice, following commercial release. The Micra AV Registry is conducted within Medtronic's Product Surveillance Registry (PSR) platform.
Physical activity (PA) can play a vital and an independent role in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) management care. Health research studies have shown evidence that PA can improve glycaemic control and glucose levels. PA is first line of self-care management recommended to patients with T2DM and most patients fail to perform the regular PA. It is always important for health providers to find better methods in encouraging and incentivizing PA in T2DM patients. Mobile phone messaging-based interventions have been shown to strengthen the delivery of health information and self-care management programs.
