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.
Partial knee arthroplasty theoretically produces less blood loss compared to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to a lesser invasive procedure. Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is the most common partial knee arthroplasty performed due used due to the most commonly impacted medial knee. This study compared the postoperative drainage volume and length of stay (LOS) of TKA vs UKA and evaluated its comparison with patient characteristics.
This observational study aims to investigate medication adherence and drug-level monitoring of antiretroviral agents in a cohort of people living with HIV in Indonesia. The study is conducted in outpatients receiving tenofovir-based regimens in a university medical centre.
The goal of this usability study and a cluster randomised controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of an adherence toolkit as a decision support tool to improve adherence to antiretroviral therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) is the adherence toolkit useable and acceptable among HIV care providers in Indonesian clinical practice? and 2) is the adherence toolkit superior than the usual care in improving adherence to antiretroviral therapy among people living with HIV in Indonesia? HIV clinics in Surabaya, Indonesia, will be recruited to participate in the study. HIV care providers will be included in the usability study, whereas people living with HIV will be enrolled in the cluster randomised controlled trial. People living with HIV will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the control group receiving usual HIV care and the intervention group receiving an intervention using the adherence toolkit in addition to usual HIV care.
A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of 40 male patients with androgenetic alopecia was conducted. All subject were randomized to receive either combination of minoxidil 5% topical and finasteride 0,1% topical or minoxidil 5% topical
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of combination therapy of microneedling and minoxidil in androgenetic alopecia of Indonesian men. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there an increase in hair density with combination therapy of microneedling and minoxidil versus minoxidil monotherapy? - Is there an increase in hair diameter with combination therapy of microneedling and minoxidil versus minoxidil monotherapy? Participants will be divided into 2 groups. The first one will receive minoxidil monotherapy, and the second one will receive a combination therapy of microneedling and minoxidil. Researchers will compare those 2 groups to see if there is a difference of effectiveness based on hair density and diameter.
Myofascial pain is characterized by myofascial trigger points, considered as a major cause of neck and shoulder pain in the working population. Thread-embedding acupuncture is a new acupuncture modality that can provide long-term stimulation aimed at prolonging its therapeutic effect that is similar to conventional acupuncture, such as analgesic effects. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the effects of thread-embedding acupuncture and sham thread-embedding acupuncture as a therapy for myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle. The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether thread-embedding acupuncture therapy gives better and last longer results for myofascial pain of the upper trapezius muscle than sham thread-embedding acupuncture.
This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of standard therapy for acne vulgaris (AV) based on the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) in Indonesia. The main questions it aims to answer were: 1. How is the clinical characteristics of patients with AV in dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital? 2. How is the effectiveness of standard therapy for AV based on the CPG in Indonesia in reducing the number of non-inflammatory, inflammatory, and total lesions and degree of acne severity? The clinical pratice guideline (CPG) used for analysis was CPG by dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital 2017 in line with the date of patient visit. Data of 724 patients with AV in dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital as recorded in the medical records were assessed for eligibility. Data of 3-month-follow-up data of included subjects were collected and analyzed.
This is a cohort study on HIV-1 patients treated in outpatient and inpatient wards of Tangerang District Hospital. The participant will be interviewed and retrieved for their demographics, treatment history, CD4 and viral load history. Blood will be drawn for HIV-1 viral load examination using Xpert® HIV-1 Viral Load [Cepheid], in-house qRT-PCR, and REALTIME HIV-1 VIRAL LOAD [Abbott]
Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) were cyanotic congenital heart disease with chronic hypoxia which increases the risk of exacerbated inflammatory response in ToF primary repair. Various studies have recently shown inflammatory biomarkers to predict morbidity and mortality in hypoxemic patients, but they are not readily available and expensive.This study aims to compare the prognostic value of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), and thrombocyte-lymphocyte ratio (TLR) in predicting ToF primary repair outcomes. This was a retrospective observational study on ToF primary repair in National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita between Januari 2020 until December 2022. Preoperative NLR, ALC, and TLR were derived from blood test obtained <14 days before surgery. The primary endpoints were redo surgery, 30-day mortality, and complications. The secondary endpoints were hospital length of stay (HLOS) and postoperative LOS.
Dysmenorrhea, the painful condition experienced by women during menstruation, affects a significant proportion of women worldwide and often leads to decreased productivity. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are available for pain relief, but information on their effectiveness, particularly regarding green coconut water, dark chocolate, and Ibuprofen, remains limited. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of green coconut water, dark chocolate bars, and Ibuprofen in reducing the intensity of primary dysmenorrhea. A randomized controlled trial with a quantitative design was conducted, involving 45 participants randomly assigned to receive either 330 ml of green coconut water, 35 grams of 70% dark chocolate, or 400 mg Ibuprofen. Pain intensity was measured before and after treatment.
