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.
The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of a transdiagnostic psychotherapy intervention - namely, Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) - in reducing the severity of mental health symptoms experienced by torture and violence survivors displaced from Burma into Thailand. Specifically, the intervention seeks to measure reductions (if any) in symptoms of depression and trauma.
Stroke is one of the common diseases in the elderly. It is the third ranking cause of death and affects health care system in our country. The focal brain lesions encountered in patients with stroke can result in impairments in motor function, language, cognition, sensory processing, cognition and emotional disturbances. All of these conditions affect performance of functional activities. The abrupt change in the life situation of the stroke survivor impacts all phases of care. This may reduce a patient's quality of life. Many innovative therapy techniques have been developed to help the restoration of lost functions and to aid in prevention and treatment of depression. Music and art therapy has been used in rehabilitation settings to stimulate brain functions involved in movement, cognition, speech, emotions, and sensory perceptions. However many research studies on the use of music and art therapy in rehabilitation of acquired brain injury have suffered from small sample size, making it difficult to achieve statistically significant results. In addition, differences in factors such as study designs, methods of interventions, and intensity of treatment have led to varying results.
Persistent HIV infection in the central nervous system (CNS) compartment may put subjects at risk of developing HIV-related brain disease. Important factors associated with the development of HIV-related brain disease include therapeutic concentrations of antiretroviral drugs in the CNS. Conflicting evidence regarding the CNS exposure of the antiretroviral drug used for the encore1 study, efavirenz (EFV) have been described in related studies. There were recent study of two small series assessment of EFV exposure in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF); one group reported small detectable EFV concentrations, while another observed undetectable EFV exposure in the CSF. Also, in a larger reported series comprising of 80 subjects on EFV-containing antiretroviral therapy, a CSF to plasma concentration suggested that there is limited movement of EFV out of the CSF. In HIV-1 infected subjects at steady state, EFV plasma level parameters are dose proportional following 200mg, 400mg, and 600mg daily doses. The CNS exposure of EFV at different daily dosing has not been described.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the addition of Ipilimumab to Etoposide and Platinum therapy will extend the lives of patients with Extensive-Stage Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (ED-SCLC) more than Etoposide and Platinum therapy alone.
This is a multi-centre prospective, non-inferiority trial. Patients will be randomized to two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio and will be stratified by age, Karnofsky Performance Status and extent of the surgical resection. This study will assess the effect of a one-week radiotherapy regimen in comparison with a three-week radiotherapy regimen on the survival of elderly and/or frail patients with glioblastoma multiforme (Frail: ≥>50 years old and with a KPS of 50% or less50%-70%; Elderly and frail: ≥65 years and with a KPS of 50% - 70%; Elderly: ≥65 years and with a KPS of 80% - 100%).
Stroke is one of the common diseases in the elderly. It is the third ranking cause of death and affects health care system in our country. One of the most important consequences of stroke is spasticity. Some stroke patients suffered from severe spasticity or hypersensitive reflex to stimuli. It can cause contracture, limit self care function, transfer or ambulation. Most of stroke patients have to depend on their relatives or families.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of Symbicort compared to inhaled corticosteroid alone during 6 months in adult and adolescent patients with asthma
The purpose of this study is to examine and compare electroencephalography (EEG) changes in human subjects directly after inhalation of essential oils from five Thai aromatherapies. The investigators hypothesize that essential oils from Thai aromatherapies may influence the human EEG involving emotional relaxation particularly alpha wave EEG.
To demonstrate the additional benefit of roflumilast when added on to fixed-dose combination (FDC) LABA/ICS in the reduction of exacerbations in subjects with severe to very severe COPD.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the conversion of OP to OC in individual X and the family member of individual X. The investigators hypothesize that one or more of the single nucleoprotein polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CES1 gene represent a clinically important functional polymorphism.
