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.
Uremic pruritus is a significant burden on hemodialysis patients, affecting approximately 46% of individuals undergoing dialysis. Various mechanisms, including inadequate dialysis, increased uremic toxins, inflammatory cytokines, parathyroid hormone, phosphorus, dry skin, mast cell histamine secretion, and nerve stimulation through μ-opioid receptors and nociceptors, contribute to uremic pruritus. Current treatments include antihistamines, gabapentin, moisturizer creams, and capsaicin creams, with limited success, as only 10% of patients find relief. Cannabinoids were also mentioned in uremic pruritus treatment but are less commonly used and there are no randomised controlled trial. Cannabinoid binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors inhibits mast cell differentiation, aggregation, and histamine release, whereas cannabinoid binding to TRP-iron receptors reduces peripheral nerve activation. Thus, cannabinoid seem to effective in relieving pruritus via various mechanisms. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a hemp-containing cream in comparison to a placebo for treating uremic pruritus among hemodialysis patients.
Sarcopenia and frailty could be prevented and rehabilitated through individual physical activities in the form of combined exercise that could be practiced at home in daily life.
The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to identify factors associated with severity of acne in Thai transmen receiving masculinizing hormone therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the factors associated with severity of acne in transmen? - Does masculinizing hormone therapy associate with the severity of acne in transmen? Participants will be asked to complete an online questionnaire and allow to take pictures of their face for acne assessment purpose.
This study developed functional beverages from the submerged fermentation of Cordyceps militaris (FCM) and aimed to investigate the potential of FCM in male and female healthy volunteers in Phayao province, Thailand. To provide essential information for the development of healthy drink products.
Transgender women who transitioned from male to female by hormone therapy demonstrate similar physical fitness and vascular function to males or females.
The objective of this study was to compare different exercise modalities (moderate continuous intensity training, high intensity interval training, and inspiratory muscle training) on Apnea-Hypopnea index and oxidative stress in patients with Obstructive sleep apnea.
The goal of this type of study is clinical trial. This to learn about effects of applied aerobic Thai dance exercise on gait balance and sudomotor function in patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Test variables of gait, balance, function of sudomotor, Physiological data such as pulse, blood pressure, body composition, ankle and leg muscle strength, compare with control and experimental group in diabetes with peripheral neuropathy. The main question Question 1: Dose Applied aerobic Thai dance exercise affects gait and balance in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy? Question 2: Does applied aerobic Thai dance exercise affect sudomotor function in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy? Participants will divided into 2 groups: the control group and the experimental group. By randomly sampling 22 people from each group 1. The control group was advised to exercise at home for a period of 12 weeks. 2. The experimental group participated in Applied aerobic Thai dance exercise 60 minutes per session, 3 times per week, for a period of 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, variable data were collected and to compare within and between groups.
INTRODUCTION Knee supports, usually made with sponge cushion, are used to protect knee joint and prevent its injury. Sponge has less elasticity and durability compared with natural rubber. To our knowledge, there has been no study regarding effectiveness of natural rubber and sponge for knee joint protection and injury prevention in children with bleeding disorders. AIMS The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and satisfaction between natural rubber and sponge knee supports for knee joint protection among children with bleeding disorders METHODS The study had three phases: 1) measurement of compression force, 2) fabrication of knee supports, and 3) a randomized crossover trial. The supports were fabricated in 4 sizes, S, M, L, and XL. They comprised two parts: body, made from stretchable cotton; and cushion (protection part), made from either natural rubber or sponge. The trial included 8 weeks of alternatively wearing natural rubber knee support and sponge knee support with a 4-week wash-out period. Numbers of knee bleeds and satisfied users were recorded.
The real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is regarded as the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Proper specimen collection and obtaining a sufficient sample are the most important steps for laboratory diagnosis. The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab is recommended as the reference collection method. However, NP swab collection is invasive and uncomfortable for patients and poses some risk to healthcare workers. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection from used surgical masks with the NP swab method using RT-PCR testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate mechanism underlying lumbar multifidus muscle (LM) activation deficits in adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The main questions it aim to answer is whether motor cortex or muscular level is the underlying mechanism responsible for the LM activation deficits. Participants will: - Undergo cortical excitability measurement using transcranial magnetic stimulation, LM activation measurement using ultrasound imaging, and force measurement using hand-held dynamometer. - Be randomly assigned to either repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) - Undergo all measurement at post-intervention Researchers will compare within and between groups to see changes in cortical excitability, LM activation, and force.
