There are about 36818 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in China. 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.
To evaluate the effect of red yeast rice on subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
To evaluate the effect of Tai chi on Fibromyalgia
The study is a phase II trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of co-transplantation with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells from related donors in alternative donor transplantation of severe aplastic anemia.
The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of lack or excess of folic acid in first, second and third trimester on child birth weight, fat content and the secretion of metabolism related hormone, and clinical follow-up their offspring obesity.
Postoperative pain following tonsillectomy or adeno-tonsillectomy in children is severe and sometimes last for days. Sufentanil is used by epidural route for postoperative analgesia in children. There are few reports about its use for postoperative analgesia by continuous intravenous infusion. Its complications include , hypoxia, sedation, pruritus ,nausea and/or vomiting. The investigators design this protocol to test efficacy of analgesia of three different rates of continuous intravenous sufentanil infusion for postoperative pain management following coblation tonsillectomy or adeno-tonsillectomy in children. The investigators also compare incidence rate of complications for three groups.
Intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is common and dramatically affect recovery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether electric acupuncture therapy is effective in the treatment of ICU-AW especially in the patients receiving mechanical ventilation with sepsis or multiorgan system failure.
1. To evaluate whether a standardized tension-free vaginal tape-obturator(TVT-O) procedure, when added to a planned improved reconstruction pelvic surgery, improves the rate of urinary stress continence in subjects with occult stress incontinence. 2. Observe the immediate and short-term complications, overall urinary tract function, and other aspects of pelvic health between subjects with and without a TVT-O procedure.
Female pelvic floor dysfunction (FPD) is due to defects in the pelvic support structures, degradation, damage or dysfunction. The main problem of which is pelvic organ prolapse(POP), urinary incontinence(UI) and genital tract injury. Although it does not pose a serious threat to life, but affect the patient's quality of life seriously in the physical, psychological, social behavior and other aspects. With the growing aging population, the incidence rate has gradually increased, and increasing demands for people's quality of life simultaneously, more and more attention was raised to PFD as common chronic diseases. In recent years, the basic research, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of PFD have made great progress, especially in developing gynecological urology theory and reconstructive pelvic surgery. But overall the basic research of PFD is lagging behind, especially susceptibility gene localization and functional studies did not get enough attention.
As human aging, 50% of women will be faced with the threat of cancer, especially gynecological malignancies. Ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancer are three major gynecological malignancies. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer, especially in young women significantly increased; ovarian cancer, although the incidence of malignant tumors in the female reproductive system ranked second, but its mortality rate already in the first place; and the morbidity and mortality of endometrial cancer is also rising. The key to gynecologic malignancies is how to early diagnose and treat. With the advancement of science and technology, such as molecular biology techniques widely used in the medical field, early diagnosis, proper treatment and other aspects in gynecologic malignancies is expected to achieve a breakthrough. Genome-wide scan strategy, making the whole genome for linkage analysis for gynecological malignancies possible. Therefore, the investigators intend to find specific mutations to provide a new early screening approach for gynecological malignancies, which in later result in early diagnosis and specific treatment for gynecological malignant tumors.
Objectives:Physicians from the Shanghai Jiading community clinic were invited to attend the study seminar. Those physicians who meet the criteria of the study plan were being selected to participate voluntarily. From their patient's record, the physicians will recruit a total of 1300 patients with type 2 diabetes who meet the criteria of the Jiading Study. The study utilizes the social learning theory that motivation and social support are important to make behavioral change. The mechanism of providing incentive for patients and physicians will be established after the permission from the Internal Review Board of the hospital and will be approved by the hospital director. Physicians and their patients were randomly divided into 4 groups: Group 1- Physicians only; Group 2 - Patients only; Group 3 - Both Physicians and Patients, Group 4 - control. Groups 1-3 will receive incentives if they can maintain the ideal level of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) during the 3-years study period. The forth group serves as a control and will not receive any incentive but will be provided diabetes education booklet and group education courses for DM control as usual. Based on the annual evaluation of the level of improvement on HbA1c that is a joint effort of both patients and physicians to achieve the targeted goal of adequate HBA1c level, the value of incentives will be increased accordingly. Our ultimate goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of incentive as an intervention tool to improve the health status of the diabetic patients.
