There are about 243 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Cyprus. 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.
There are limited but encouraging results supporting the use of dalfampridine in patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia. The investigators aimed to investigate the effects of dalfampridine on walking speed, muscle length, spasticity, functional strength, and functional mobility in patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia. In this triple-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 4 patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia received dalfampridine (10 mg twice daily) plus physiotherapy (2 times per week), and 4 patients received placebo plus physiotherapy for a total duration of 8 weeks. The assessor and treating physiotherapists, and patients were masked to the group allocation. The primary outcome was Timed 25-foot Walk Test at the end of the 8-week treatment. The secondary outcome measures were functional mobility, functional muscle strength, muscle length, and spasticity.
Studies showing the relationship between meal frequency, weight loss and anthropometric measurements are contradictory. This study is planned and conducted to observe the effects of meal frequency (3 meals+3 snacks vs 3 meals) on weight loss, anthropometric measurements and body composition with 3-month energy restricted Medical Nutrition Therapy program in 19-64 years old women with a BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2.
increasing the prevalence of exercise models designed in accordance with the biopsychosocial model is very important in terms of ensuring the sustainability of these models with telerehabilitation in periods such as epidemics and pandemics. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a biopsychosocial exercise model provided via telerehabilitation in individuals with rheumatic diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In recent years, it has been observed that scapular stabilization exercises given in addition to stretching exercises in stroke patients strengthen the scapular muscles and improve walking and trunk alignment. In a study published in 2020, in which the investigators compared the effects of virtual and real boxing training on upper extremity functions, balance and cognitive functions in stroke patients, significant improvement was observed in each parameter in both groups. When the investigators look at the literature, the investigators see that there is no study comparing the effects of both scapular stabilization and boxing training on upper extremity functions and trunk balance in stroke patients. Therefore the aim of this study, compare the effects of boxing and scapular stabilization training on scapular mobility (primary outcome measure), upper extremity range of motion, shoulder proprioception, scapular balance angle, scapular muscle strength, trunk muscle strength, upper extremity motor functions, trunk balance and treatment satisfaction (secondary outcome measures) in hemiparetic individuals with stroke.
The objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on orthodontic tooth movement during maxillary molar distalization over 12-week observation period.
This study aimed to examine whether mindfulness skills training can help to reduce experiential avoidance and anxiety level. This study investigated whether the training delivery methods (audio-guided mindfulness exercise or virtual reality-based mindfulness exercise) differ in terms of changing general experiential avoidance and anxiety symptoms.
This study aimed to investigate whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/Training would be helpful to reduce weight-related experiential avoidance among individuals who reported weight concern
The present study is designed to reveal effectiveness of hyaluronidase and dexamethasone on reduction of postoperative edema, pain, trismus, and infection. For this purpose, 60 participants with symmetrical mandibular wisdom teeth enrolled the present study. All measurements and evaluations were performed before and 1, 2, 3, and 7 days later the operation.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of long-term carbohydrate periodization protocols on sleep architecture, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, physical performance, body composition, gut microbiome, and miRNA in healthy trained individuals.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the main malnutrition risk assessment tools in patients undergoing operations of general surgery.
