There are about 1183 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Indonesia. 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 aims to compare two groups of post-orthopedic patients who received a standard regimen, namely ketorolac 30mg, to the second group, which was given the standard regimen and adjuvant magnesium sulfate 30mg/kgBW 1 hour preoperatively. If it is proven useful, it is hoped that pain will be more controlled, reduce pain complications, reduce treatment costs, and reduce the duration of hospital stays.
Throughout history, honey has been recognized for its healing properties. The use of honey for its medicinal properties dates back to 2200 BCE. The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the healing effects of 100% medical grade Manuka honey in participants with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media of the mucosal type. The main question it aims to answer is: Can 100% Manuka honey given at the time of Tympanoplasty improve the re-epithelialization (healing process) of the tympanic membrane compared to controls? Participants in the intervention group will receive a wound dressing of 100% medical grade Manuka honey after reconstructive surgery of the tympanic membrane. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the control group to see healing process.
Sepsis is an inflammation response produced by the host's immune system, which is agrravated by oxidative stress. One of the adjuvant therapy according to Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guideline is albumin, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. However, human albumin is quite expensive, and other forms with similar potency and less costs are needed, one of which is Channa striata extract. Therefore, this study is conducted to compare albumin and human albumin, specifically their anti- inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties by assessing the eNOS marker, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patient with sepsis.
The purpose of this study is assess the efficacy of ASIMOMMY® in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital abnormality found in newborns with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) being the most common cyanotic CHD. Total correction of TOF was performed using a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine. However, the use of CPB has a negative effect that causes inflammation and myocardial injury. Myocardial protection in patients undergoing total correction of TOF surgery is more difficult than other cyanotic CHD due to a hypertrophic right ventricular condition. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a selective α-2 adrenergic, which has major effects including hypnosis, sedation, and analgesia as well as cardiovascular effects. The sedation is induced by stimulating the α-2 adrenergic receptor in the locus coeruleus (LC) in the pons cerebri. DEX also increases the level of GABA and Galanin and reduces endogenous norepinephrine. The lower level of endogenous norepinephrine decreases the afterload of the ventricles, increases cardiac output, and reduces myocardial injury as a result. Furthermore, the peripheral effects of DEX can reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR) by inhibiting NF-кB pathway activation and reducing the number of pro-inflammatory cytokines released. Thus, the administration of DEX can prevent myocardial necrosis and apoptosis, also reducing reperfusion injury when using CPB machines. Research related to the effectiveness of administering DEX as a myocardial protector in classic TOF patients undergoing elective total correction cardiac surgery in Indonesia is less reported. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of DEX as myocardial protector in classic TOF patients undergoing elective total correction cardiac surgery.
The clinical trial will be carried out at the Dr. Moh. Hoesin Central Hospital, Palembang and planned from October 2022 to March 2023. This study aims to compare the efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma, Conditioned Medium From Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) Culture Secretome and hyaluronic acid for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis
This study aimed to determine the relationship between the quadratus lumborum and erector spinae plane block technique and the incidence and severity of chronic post-surgical pain in accordance with Brief Pain Inventory Score (BPI) in retroperitoneal laparoscopic living kidney donor surgery
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of acupressure on fatigue in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) as well as assess sleep quality and psychological status HYPOTHESIS TO BE TESTED: Upon intervention completion, the experimental group will exhibit lower severity of fatigue and depression/anxiety and improved sleep quality compared to the control group. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: A randomized controlled trial with experimental and control groups. A total of 116 patients with ESRD who screen positive for fatigue severity ≥ 4 (using a single-item indicator of fatigue, which ranges from 0 to 10 points) will be recruited. STUDY INSTRUMENTS: Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) INTERVENTION: A 4-week acupressure intervention was performed by the principal investigator (PI) for every subject by applying the rate of two rotations per second, three times a week. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary: fatigue. Secondary: sleep quality, depression, and anxiety. DATA ANALYSIS: Multiple regression was used to analyze between-group differences in BFI and PSQI, while ordinal logistic regression was used to analyze the subscales of the HADS. EXPECTED RESULTS: The proposed acupressure intervention is useful for alleviating fatigue and related symptoms (sleep quality, depression, and anxiety) experienced by patients with ESRD.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer and cause of cancer- related deaths among women, accounting for 1.67 million (25.2%) new cases and 521,907 (14.7%) deaths worldwide. The prevalence and survival rates of breast cancer differ per country. In Indonesia, majority of patients (70.9%) go to the clinic with advanced stages of breast cancer. Five-year survival rate is 51.07%. One of the most important determinants of survival is education level and stage of breast cancer. Current screening methods include mammography and radiology assessments, both of which have disadvantages specifically in Asian population. Mammography is less useful in Asian population because the population has denser breast, resulting to failure to diagnose cases of breast cancer in this population in 37-70% of cases. Moreover, screening methods provide binary answers, and therefore does not inform risk profile of the patients. The investigators aim to implement PRS into the breast cancer screening process while observing the differences of genetic and non-genetic risk factor in patients with breast cancer and patients without any medical/family history of breast cancer in Indonesian population.
In 2016, a meta-analysis showed that DNA-based risk reporting alone does not facilitate behavior change. However, there have been several studies showing that tailoring care plans related to diet may help with adherence to a tailored diet plan. Risk prediction report displays both Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) and modifiable (non-genetic) risk factors. Overtime, the investigators aim to combine both PRS and modifiable risk factors to have a localized and stronger prediction model for the local population. The risk prediction report is designed to tailor care plans for patients by their physicians or care planner. Focus groups allow deeper discussions in themes important to guide design of the report. This method has been used in previous similar studies, such as one by Cutting et al to understand physicians' preference in integrating genetic reports into daily practice. Studies also have shown that local adoption of personalized medicine and care is hindered by limited infrastructure of information management and awareness, despite personalized medicine being widely adopted in healthcare systems in developing countries.
