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 goal of this Randomized controlled trial is to evaluate in household ambulatory, elderly patients sustaining femoral neck fracture who are subjected to be treat with cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The efficacy in reducing blood transfusion for topical tranexamic acid administration - The safety of tranexemic acid, topically used As having undergone bipolar hemiarthroplasty surgery, participants will either receive retrograde intraarticular tranexamic acid injection via drain tube, or topical soaking administration. Researchers will compare, with standard procedure (procedure), whether topically administered tranexamic acid would reduce rate of blood transfusion.
Endometriosis, a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, often occurs due to retrograde menstruation, where menstrual blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity. This tissue can then implant and grow within the pelvic peritoneum. The survival of these ectopic implants leads to chronic inflammation, adhesion formation, and scarring of surrounding tissues, including the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Symptoms include cyclic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. Ectopic endometrial tissue survival is not attributed to mutations but rather epigenetic changes. Studies have linked this phenomenon to genes such as KRAS (Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Virus Oncogene), involved in cell proliferation and survival. Dysregulated KRAS activity can lead to increased production of MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins, implicated in angiogenesis and tissue invasion, facilitating the spread of endometrial tissue. Vitamin D has been shown to modulate immune function and reduce inflammation. Studies suggest that vitamin D deficiency may exacerbate endometriosis symptoms and severity. However, evidence regarding the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in managing endometriosis symptoms is mixed. One study found that long-term intake of vitamin D-rich foods was associated with an 18% lower risk of developing endometriosis. Additionally, vitamin D deficiency has been correlated with increased expression of mutated KRAS in colorectal cancer patients, suggesting a potential link between vitamin D status and genetic abnormalities in disease progression. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and endometriosis severity, particularly in specific populations like the Thai population.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of a 16-week aerobic exercise regimen on the autonomic nervous system and endothelial function in patients with compensated cirrhosis who maintain sedentary lifestyles. The primary research question is: 1) What effect does 16 weeks of aerobic exercise have on changes in the autonomic nervous system and endothelial function in cirrhotic patients? Additionally, the secondary research questions are: 1. How does a 16-week aerobic exercise program influence changes in muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in cirrhotic patients? 2. Is there a correlation between muscle mass and parameters of the autonomic nervous system in cirrhotic patients? Participants in the intervention group will undergo 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week for 16 weeks, accompanied by a personalized nutritional plan (1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight per day and a calorie intake of 35 kilocalories per kilogram of ideal body weight per day). The control group will solely receive nutritional guidance and maintain their sedentary lifestyle. The researchers will compare outcomes between these two groups.
The goal of this study is to compared efficacy of oral fluid and intravenous fluid after primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty. The main question it aims to answer is: Does oral fluid replacement after primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty provide a patient recover faster than intravenous fluids replacement?
Background: Percutaneous A1 pulley release is a cost-effective and straightforward procedure with outcomes comparable to open A1 pulley release. Postoperative pain is a prevalent concern. Corticosteroid injection is a common nonoperative treatment for trigger finger, providing favorable outcomes but associated with a notable risk of recurrence. Numerous studies have explored the combined approach of percutaneous trigger finger release with corticosteroid injection. However, to date, there is no report on early postoperative results. Objective: To conduct a comparative analysis of early postoperative outcomes between percutaneous A1 pulley release with steroid injection and percutaneous A1 pulley release alone. Study Design & Methods: This study constitutes a randomized controlled trial involving patients with trigger finger who underwent percutaneous release surgery from October 2023 to January 2024. A total of 38 patients were enrolled, with 18 assigned to the percutaneous A1 pulley release with steroid injection group and 20 to the percutaneous A1 pulley release alone group. Postoperative assessments included pain scores using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), evaluation of quality of life through the QuickDASH score (qDASH), patient satisfaction, and complications.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the accuracy of screening for diabetic peripheral neuropathy by comparing the Ipswich touch test with the 10-g monofilament test in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The main question it aims to answer is: How does the accuracy of the Ipswich Touch Test for identifying peripheral neuropathy compare to the traditional 10-g monofilament test? Participants underwent both the Ipswich touch test and the 10-g monofilament test.
The purpose of this study was to study factors for controlling hypertension or type 2 diabetes before stroke diagnosis on the severity level when a stroke occurs, NIHSS, and survival rate after having a stroke in 1 year in Trat Province The research hypothesis was patients with hypertension or type 2 diabetes who are well-controlled Will have a lower NIHSS score than the group whose disease is not well-controlled. and patients with hypertension or type 2 diabetes that is well controlled There will be a higher survival rate for patients diagnosed with cerebrovascular disease within 1 year than those whose disease cannot be controlled.
Limited literature has focused on the use of totally tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (Mini-PCNL) for the treatment of large renal stones. This Randomized Controlled trial aims to compare complication and safety of Mini-PCNL between total tubeless and tubeless Mini-PCNL.
This project is a collaboration between International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), FAO Regional Office for Asia and The Pacific, and Mahidol University, Thailand to carry out the study on doubly-labeled water for assessment of total energy expenditure and body composition among infants and young children aged 6-23 months old. Thailand conducted a longitudinal study with participation from 4 other countries, namely, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, in undertaking the same assessments in a cross-sectional design.
This is a prospective observational study enrolling People Living with HIV (PLHIV) who are on a Dolutegravir-based AntiRetroviral Treatment (ART) regimen and experiencing virologic failure. Virologic failure is defined as two consecutive viral load measurements of >1000 copies/mL of blood. The main aim of the study is to identify the drug-resistance mutations in the viral genome that are associated with this failure. To achieve this goal, patients fulfilling the eligibility criteria will be invited for a single study visit for the collection of blood. The extracted HIV virus will be sequenced through whole genome sequencing methods to identify the drug-resistance mutations. The study is conducted in 15-20 countries within six regions of the IeDEA cohort (International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS).
