There are about 435 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United Arab Emirates. 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.
This study looks at how auricular vagus nerve stimulation (AVNS) affects neck pain, heart rate variability, and balance in college athletes, additionally, if different settings of auricular vagus nerve stimulation (AVNS) affect neck pain, heart rate variability, and balance in college athletes. The participants will be split into two groups, each receiving AVNS with different settings. The study hypothesizes that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) will reduce pain perception in college athletes. It is expected that auricular vagus nerve stimulation (AVNS) will decrease heart rate variability (HRV) in this population. Additionally, it is anticipated that college athletes undergoing AVNS will exhibit improved balance. The Investigators also believe that AVNS will decrease neck pain and enhance neck function. Finally, it is proposed that different AVNS parameters will have varying effects on pain intensity, HRV, and balance in collegiate athletes.
Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is often self-limited but can persist for years and may never fully resolve. The most effective treatment for adhesive capsulitis is uncertain till date. Though neural links are being studied on one side and postural alteration too was postulated to cause shoulder pathology. However, the effectiveness of C5-C6 and thoracic spine mobilization with postural correction remains unexplored in the treatment of AC. This study aimed to investigate whether C5-C6 and thoracic spine mobilization with postural correction are more effective than conventional therapy in pain, range of motion(ROM), and disability in patients with AC. The outcome of the study must provide valid information to enhance the prognostic value of adhesive capsulitis.
This double blind, placebo controlled randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of three commonly used culinary spices - ginger (Zingiber officinale), cinnamon (Cinnamomum) and black seed (Nigella sativa) on the cardiometabolic parameters of individuals with risk factors of metabolic syndrome. Participants consume their assigned treatment for 12 weeks, and key cardiovascular and glucometabolic parameters are recorded at baseline, week 6, and week 12 of the study.
The objectives of this clinical study were to assess the effect of different ITs and bone types on POP levels and survival rates and to investigate the effect of different patient- and site-related factors on POP levels and survival rates.
The all-on-4 treatment approach for completely edentulous mandible is a proven concept. However, there are still issues regarding the use of metal substructure to support the prostheses such as allergy, metallic taste, and aesthetic. Therefore, other materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are being tested for its suitability and is showing good potential. However, available evidence is limited regarding its clinical performance. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare clinical performance of all-on-4 treatment concept utilizing PEEK versus conventional metal framework as substructure in fully edentulous mandible. Thirty suitable patients will receive either PEEK or conventional all-on-4 prostheses for fully edentulous mandible. The prostheses will be retained by four implants utilizing the all-on-4 principle. Clinical performance will be assessed during the follow up period of up 3 years concerning screw loosening, material chipping or fracture, wear or staining, prosthesis survival and success, implant survival and success.
The goal of this Randomized clinical trial is to learn about how fixing neck curvature and head posture right away affects heart rate, brainwaves, and muscle coordination in college athletes. The main question it aims to answer: - Whether forward head posture (FHP) may play a crucial role in affecting heart rate variability, brainwaves, and muscle coordination.
The goal of this RCT is to investigate the immediate effect of benzocaine 20% topical anesthesia on initial pain and discomfort levels associated with the placement of elastomeric orthodontic separators in children who are receiving Hall Technique crowns on primary molars, among children who have attended the Pediatric Dentistry Department, Dubai Dental Hospital (DDH), Mohammed Bin Rashid University (MBRU) in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The purpose of this survey is to collect information for scientific research and to identify the impact of overweight and obesity on health-related quality of life.
Infertility is on the rise worldwide due to multiple reasons. Proper and timely diagnosis makes the treatment easier and more acceptable by the couple. Lack of fertility knowledge however delays necessary investigations and sometimes reduces chances of success as a consequence of a delay in patients / couples approaching infertility clinics. Assessing the fertility knowledge of the Emirati infertility patients would help us to understand better the cultural aspects of fertility, the driving forces for having children and how much patients actually know about predisposing factors for infertility. This in turn would improve counseling and possible set knowledge campaigns to increase awareness.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mobile health nutrition education intervention in the changing of dietary habits and body composition of overweight and obese 8-12 years old children in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and to compare its effectiveness to paper educational intervention among the same age group. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are there any significant changes in dietary habits, physical activity and body composition among overweight and obese school-age children after three months of mobile health intervention? 2. Is there any significant difference between the effect of smart phone delivered and paper delivered interventions (changes in dietary habits, physical activity and body composition) among overweight and obese school-age children after three months of interventions? 3. Are there any significant changes in the obesity inflammatory panel among overweight and obese school-age children after three months of mobile health intervention? 4. Is there any significant difference in the sustainability of the outcomes between mobile health and paper delivered interventions among overweight and obese school-age children two months after the end of the intervention? 5. Are there any significant changes in nutrition related knowledge among parents of overweight and obese school-age children after three months of intervention? Participants (children with their parents) will be randomly divided into intervention group and control group. Parents of children from the intervention group will receive two text messages/graphics per week about healthy eating and physical activity (PA) on their mobile phones during the intervention period (3 months). While parents in the control group will receive a one-time printed handout containing the same messages at the beginning of the intervention period. Assessment of children's anthropometry, dietary intake and physical activity will be evaluated pre and post intervention and one more time after a two months period of maintenance after the end of the intervention. Parents' nutrition knowledge will be evaluated pre and post intervention only. Also, children salivary obesity markers will be measured at baseline and at the end of the intervention period to explore the effects of the intervention on inflammatory markers associated with obesity.
