There are about 509 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Tunisia. 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.
A substantial number of people with COPD suffer from exacerbations, which are defined as an acute worsening of respiratory symptoms. To minimize exacerbations, telehealth has emerged as an alternative to improve clinical management, access to health care, and support for self-management. The study objective was to map the evidence of telehealth/telemedicine for the monitoring of adult COPD patients after hospitalization due to an exacerbation.
The aim of this study is to assess bioequivalence between a single oral dose from the test product Metformin / Vildagliptin tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by SAIPH versus the reference product Galvumet® tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Novartis. This study also aims to monitor the safety of the subjects. This study is an open-label, randomized, fed, single oral dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study with a washout interval of at least one week between dosing. Eighteen (18) Tunisian subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be healthy volunteers, adults, aged between eighteen to fifty (18-50) years, (both inclusive), within the accepted limits for body height & weight and meeting the selection criteria for this study
Postoperative pain management in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery is a real challenge for the anesthesiologist. Effective pain control must be provided while preserving the mobility to ensure early rehabilitation. The adductor canal block is an effective way to induce sensory block without motor block. However, the major disadvantage of this block is the duration of sensory block which may be insufficient for postoperative pain management in TKA surgery. Many studies have focused on finding molecules that can prolong sensory block without the need for a perineural catheter and dexamethasone is among the most studied molecules(1, 2). Hence, our study aims to evaluate the added value of perineural dexamethasone in the adductor canal block in TKA surgery. [
The aim of this study is to assess bioequivalence between a single oral dose from the test product Metformin / Vildagliptin tablets (1000 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Pharmaceutical Arab Industries Society, Tunisia versus the reference product Galvumet® tablets (1000 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Novartis. This study also aims to monitor the safety of the subjects. This study is an open label, randomized, fed, single oral dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study with a washout interval of at least one week between dosing. Eighteen (18) Tunisian subjects will be enrolled for this study. Subjects will be healthy volunteers, adults, aged between eighteen to fifty (18-50) years, (both inclusive), within the accepted limits for body height & weight and meeting the selection criteria for this study.
this study was conducted in TAHER SFAR Hospital . it included 68 patients and it aims to evaluate the impact of virtual reality on patients undergoing upper limb surgery under regional anesthesia and evaluate the consumption of hypnotics during surgery , anxiety levels and patients satisfaction. this study contain 2 arms , each arm contain 34 patients . first arm received regional anesthesia and surgery under virtual reality using a VR gear . second arm received standard care
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare TAP block to conventional systemic analgesia for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. As the adverse effects of pain management is related to size of opioid dose use, opioid consumption is chosen as the primary outcome and a decrease of at least 20% in the TAP block compared with the conventional systemic analgesia is considered to be clinically significant. Written informed consent has to obtained from all study patients. This trial is a prospective parallel group randomized superiority trial comparing TAP block to classic systemic analgesia in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery in the department of surgery, Mahmoud El Matri Hospital, Ariana, with a 1:1 allocation ratio.
Allergy is defined as a specific abnormal and excessive reaction of the immune system to exposed allergen . This reaction is reproducible with each new exposure allergen . A recent study by The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology" (EAACI) estimates that 30% of the population suffers from allergic rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis, 20% of children suffer from asthma, and 8% of the population suffers from food allergies in Europe, with a clear increase in prevalence. Allergenic immunotherapy (AIT) remains a corner stone in the treatment of allergic diseases. It involves administering an increasing dose of allergens to induce immunological tolerance. The efficacy and safety of ITA have already been demonstrated. However, patient response is highly heterogeneous. This findinf illustrates the value of biomarkers in the selection of patients, enabling prediction of response to ITA and follow-up.
This study is open to adults with a serious skin disease called generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) who have repeated flares of GPP. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called spesolimab helps people with repeated flares of GPP. Participants are given a single dose of spesolimab as an infusion into a vein on the first day of an outbreak of GPP. They may be given a second dose 1 week later if doctors think it is helpful. They are also treated for additional GPP flares. During the time of the study, doctors regularly examine participants' skin for signs of GPP to see how well the treatment works and take blood samples. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
The aim of this study is to describe the quality of life of CT patients in our study, at least 6 months after the occurrence of the trauma. This assessment is related to the patient's degree of sequelae, using the GOSE scale.
In Tunisia, high blood pressure (HTN) is a public health problem whose prevalence varies from 28.7% to 34.7%. Hypertension can be both, cause and consequence of chronic kidney disease, and its prevalence is quite high in this population. It is both a risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular morbidity, but also a major cause of terminal chronic kidney disease becoming an additional public health concern. Detecting and diagnosing chronic kidney in all hypertensives at an early stage remains a global public health challenge. A well-conducted treatment makes it possible to reach the blood pressure objective but also to reduce the risk of occurrence of a cardiovascular event and to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. In Tunisia, few data exists concerning the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in hypertensive subjects, thus limiting the development and elaboration of preventive measures. A national survey will thus be conducted by the "Kidney and Metabolic Diseases" Working Group under the aegis of the Tunisian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation. The main objective is to estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in hypertensive tunisian patients.
