There are about 3709 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Thailand. 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.
Multimodal anesthetic drug injection has been used extensively and the results of many studies suggest that postoperative pain can relief and improve the postoperative satisfaction of patients. Adrenaline is a combination of multimodal anesthetic cocktail to relieve pain. It is believed that Adrenaline causes vasoconstriction, reduces absorption of anesthetic drug into the system circulation. Currently, a comparative study on the effect of pain reduction of Adrenaline injection in the anesthetic cocktail is relatively low. There are different doses in each institution. In addition, the use of new anesthetic is Levobupivacaine that has more vasoconstrictive effect compare with traditional Bupivacaine. It also reduces the side effects of systemic and cardiotoxic effect. Therefore, the investigators think that It may not be necessary to mix Adrenaline in the multimodal anesthetic drug. Levobupivacaine already to avoid the potential side effects of Adrenaline.
Study AG348-C-006 evaluated the efficacy and safety of orally administered AG-348 as compared with placebo in participants with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, who were not regularly receiving blood transfusions. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either AG-348 or a matching placebo.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fixed-dose combination (FDC) of bictegravir/emtricitabine/ tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) versus dolutegravir (DTG) + emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) in HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment naive, HIV-1 and HBV co-infected adults.
The carrying angle in the elbow in children is very important.Most of the results of treatment in fracture around the elbow have to measure the carrying angle.The common deformity of the elbow from cubitus varus is the change of the carrying of the elbow.There are many researches studied in normal value of the carrying angle but few had study the carrying angle from birth to adolescent.This study want to compare the carrying angle in different age and gain the knowledge of development of the carrying angle in children
Fracture of lateral humeral condyle in children is not uncommon.The nonunion means no healing of the fracture after 3 months from the injury.Delayed union means no healing from 6 weels to less than 3 months after injury. The treatment is difficult even surgery because of lack of blood supply of lateral condyle,unstability from muscle force and the articular fluid inhibition of union. The author try to improve the healing of the fracture after surgery by "4 not techniques", 1. the surgical approach should not enter posteriorly because the blood supply of lateral condyle enter posteriorly in order to avoid cut the vessels. 2. The dissection should not too much especially the muscle around the condyle. 3. It is not necessary to perfectly reduced the fracture after nonunion to avoid too much dissection the muscle and allow only healing of the fragment. 4. Bone graft is not necessary. The author wants to know the results after perform "4 not technique" in delayed union and nonunion of lateral humeral condyle fracture
HIV is a major health problem worldwide especially in low-to middle-income countries including Thailand. Fortunately, a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality has been observed due to the use of combination antiretroviral therapy. As the natural history of the disease is modified, non-communicable diseases are becoming recognized complications of HIV infection, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in HIV-infected patients is significantly higher than in the general population, likely contributed by antiretroviral regimen and an ongoing, usually subclinical, inflammation. People with prediabetes, a condition which blood sugars are elevated but not yet meeting the criteria for diabetes, represent a high risk group for future diabetes development. Lifestyle interventions, including diet and exercise, are effective in reducing the future diabetes risk by as much as 58%, including in Thailand. The knowledge whether these interventions are effective in HIV-infected patients, given their unique characteristics, is not available at this time but urgently needed. Moreover, the program tailored to each country's local values, culture and socioeconomic status is essential as participants' acceptability is one of the keys to program's success. This current proposal will adapt a 6-month intensive lifestyle intervention program and evaluate its feasibility and acceptability in HIV-infected individuals with prediabetes in Thailand. The knowledge gained will be highly relevant for Thailand and for other low-to-middle-income countries. Furthermore, gut microbiota and insufficient sleep are novel factors shown to affect individual's metabolic health. Insufficient sleep is recognized as a risk factor for incident diabetes. Gut microbiota composition differs between those with and without diabetes. The current proposal will examine how gut microbiota and sleep duration differ between HIV-infected individuals with and without prediabetes, and now there change or modulate the metabolic response to the 6-month intensive lifestyle interventions. Lastly, HIV and diabetes are global epidemics, research capacity building among countries is essential to battle these health problems. This proposal will aim to build research capacities among three international institutions: University of Illinois at Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.; Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand, one of the top medical schools in Thailand; and a newly formed medical school, Navamindradhiraj University, Vajira Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Through close collaboration, networking, in-person training and workshops, the proposed study will enhance research capacity and improve lives of those living with HIV.

Pilot design: The feasibility pilot of PLH for Young Children in Thailand has a single-site, pre-post design with no control group, with the aims of assessing programme implementation, cultural and contextual relevance, and study feasibility. Although there is no comparison group and it is not designed to test effects, the pilot also has a provisional goal of reductions in child physical and emotional abuse at one-month post-intervention. RCT design: The RCT of PLH for Young Children Thailand is a randomized, controlled, observer-blinded, single-site trial with two parallel groups and a primary endpoint goal of reductions in child physical and emotional abuse at one month and three-months post-intervention. Randomisation will be performed at the individual level with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Allocation: Using a 1:1 allocation ratio, the 120 participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group using the concealed computerized programme Sealed Envelope. An external researcher based at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford, and who is not directly involved in the study, will generate the random sequence. The Project Coordinator and Co-Investigator McCoy will notify participants of their allocation status via telephone following the collection of baseline data, in order to ensure that participants remain blind to their status during the initial assessment. Blinding: Due to the involvement of facilitators and coaches in the delivery of the programme, blinding will not be possible for deliverers; moreover, participants cannot be blinded to their allocation status following the initial assessment. However, the allocation status of other participants will be kept concealed from participants in order to reduce the risk of contamination. Data collectors gathering outcome and process evaluation data, as well as statisticians providing support in data analysis, will be blinded to participant allocation status for the purposes of minimizing assessment bias. Cases of compromised blinding will be immediately reported to the Research Manager, who will consult with the research team on an appropriate course of action. Un-blinding of participants will only be permitted if any instances of significant harm due to participation in the study are reported by a participant or any member of the project team at any stage of the study. This study is funded by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Thailand and the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, University of Oxford. UNICEF grant reference: PCA/THLC/2017/002
