There are about 3660 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.
Using mechanical ventilation for more than 18 hours can affect respiratory muscle and postural muscle control, making it difficult to wean off the ventilator and reducing mobility. The aim of this study is to: 1. Compare the effects of respiratory muscle strength training and early mobilization on dynamic lung compliance and maximum inspiratory pressure before and after a 7-day training period. 2. Compare the success rate of weaning and the duration of weaning between the respiratory muscle strength training and the early mobilization program.
Hemorrhoidal disease, characterized by symptomatic enlargement and distal displacement of anal cushions, has been a subject of recognition and management for centuries. The etymology of "hemorrhoid" is traced back to the Greek words haima (blood) and rhoos (flow). Prevalent in over 20% of the population across various life stages, this anorectal condition impacts both genders. The multifaceted development of the disease incorporates theories encompassing abnormal dilation of hemorrhoidal plexuses, distension of arteriovenous anastomoses, prolapse of anal pads, and a myriad of genetic, anatomical, dietary, and lifestyle factors. Manifestations range from venous distension to bleeding and thrombosis, with classification based on location (internal/external/combined) and degree of prolapse (grade 1-4). Upon comprehensive history-taking and examinations, including digital rectal and proctoscope assessments, a definitive diagnosis is established, leading to the treatment phase. Although outpatient procedures demonstrate efficacy, patients may persist with pain and discomfort. Medical intervention assumes significance for stages 1 and 2, incorporating approaches such as rubber-band ligation, injection sclerotherapy, and dietary modifications. Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction (MPFF), integral to hemorrhoid treatment, has been scrutinized for its ability to mitigate pathogenic processes culminating in acute bleeding. The stagnation of blood in vascular plexuses prompts an inflammatory response, activating white cells and increasing vessel wall permeability. MPFF's flavonoid compounds are posited to alleviate bleeding by augmenting venous tone, reducing stasis, inhibiting inflammatory mediators, and enhancing lymphatic drainage[8]. Multiple trials substantiate MPFF's efficacy in ceasing bleeding, alleviating symptoms, and preventing hemorrhoid relapse. Aescin, a saponin mixture found in Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut). The primary active component, β-aescin, contributes to the plant's medicinal attributes. Experimental investigations in animal models underscore its anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory, and venotonic properties, attributed to molecular mechanisms facilitating ion entry into channels and elevating venous tension. While the therapeutic benefits of aescin for hemorrhoids are acknowledged, the absence of randomized control trials impedes the conclusive validation of its efficacy. In the realm of diverse treatment options, this proposed randomized controlled trial aims to assess the comparative effectiveness of combining aescin with MPFF versus MPFF alone in managing hemorrhoid-related symptoms. The study aspires to furnish valuable insights for refining therapeutic strategies in the management of hemorrhoids and enhancing patient outcomes.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and palatability of a developed polyethylene glycol-based formula compared with the standard polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the treatment of children with functional constipation for 8 weeks. Besides, we also aim to assess the side effects of a developed PEG-based formula as well as evaluate the change of rectal diameter from baseline at each visit between 2 groups.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of Drospirenone on cervical mucus change by modified Insler score, pre-bariatric surgery and post-bariatric surgery
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether bariatric surgery affects Drospirenone only pills absorption
The investigators of this registry aim to study the natural history, clinical presentation, characteristics, and imaging findings of patients diagnosed with ATTR amyloidosis in Thailand longitudinally. This will enable the investigators to study this disease in depth. With a better understanding, the investigators can aim to develop early screening programs for at-risk patients, raising awareness among non-cardiologists. As amyloid-specific therapies have now become available in Thailand, the findings of this registry can be helpful for epidemiological studies in Thailand.
This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event. The aim is to evaluate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin, given once daily on top of other classes of SoC, on CV death and HF events.
This study is a retrospective study trying to find the predictive factors for medullary thyroid aggressiveness in terms of tumor metastasis and patients' survival.
The primary objective of this study to evaluate the efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo to reduce proteinuria and slow the rate of eGFR decline in adult participants with IgAN who are at risk of disease progression.
