There are about 9745 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. 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.
Acute pain is a normal response to tissue injury or disease and has an important biological function. It is adaptive and promotes recuperation by restricting behaviors that might incur further tissue trauma. In the case of post-operative acute pain, the cause and time of the physical injury are known, and because the condition is self-limiting it requires only short-term care. However, if acute pain responses cannot be adequately suppressed, cardiac, pulmonary and neuroendocrine functions may be compromised, and the immune system suppressed. Inadequate management of post-operative acute pain is a major burden for healthcare services and can contribute to medical complications including inflammation of the respiratory tract, damage to the oxygen supply to the heart muscle, deep vein thrombosis, delayed healing as well as the development of chronic pain, more difficult to treat. In addition, suboptimal management of pain after surgery may impair sleep and have negative psychological effects, such as anxiety, fear and lack of sleep. Proper treatment of pain reduces morbidity, damages, treatment costs, improves the patient's quality of life and his chances of a full recovery. It is therefore essential that all patients undergoing surgery should receive adequate pain management. Despite years of advances in pain management, the mainstay of postoperative pain therapy in many settings is still opioids. Morphine is the most commonly used opioid to treat moderate to severe pain after surgery in the recovery unit. The growing concern about the significant side effects, addictions and costs of opioids as a drug treatment has led to an urgent need to identify other agents and approaches to postoperative pain management that are effective, safe and cheap. The main purpose of this study is to examine whether the type of communication between the nursing staff and the patient will affect the results of pain relief treatment in the postoperative recovery department. As a secondary objective, we will examine whether personality traits will predict the effectiveness of the treatment.
Primary objective: To determine whether pregnancy increases the risk of recurrent CeAD and delayed stroke in women with prior CeAD based on long-term data. Methods: Multicentric, observational case-control study based on pooled individual patient data from several stroke centers. Primary endpoint: Primary composite outcome measure includes the following outcomes: (i) occurrence of recurrent CeAD, (ii) occurrence of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, (iii) death.
The goal of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Dostarlimab compared to Placebo in adult participants with HNSCC (Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma)
The goal of this study is to show that trained detection dogs can identify breast, lung, prostate or colorectal cancer by sniffing masks containing breath samples. In this study, individuals who will undergo cancer screening at an integrated cancer prevention center or biopsy for a suspected malignancy, will be asked to provide a breath sample by breathing into a surgical mask. The mask will then be sent to the laboratory, where trained detection dogs will determine if the person who provided the mask has breast, lung, prostate or colorectal cancer or if the person does not have these types of cancer. The results provided by the dogs will be compared to the actual cancer screening results or biopsy results in order to determine the accuracy of cancer detection by the trained dogs.
This study aims to evaluate endometrial thickness on the day of the frozen embryo transfer, compared to endometrial thickness on the last day of assessment of the endometrium before exposure to progesterone in respect to the protocols used for endometrial preparation
The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in identifying obstructive lung diseases (OLDs), using pulmonary function tests (PFTs) as the gold standard for comparison.
This study is part of the development of a non-invasive lung cancer screening test which aim to identify early-stage lung cancer in patients at high risk for lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of MK-1200 monotherapy in participants with advanced/metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, esophageal cancer, biliary tract cancer, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who have received, or been intolerant to, all treatments known to confer clinical benefit. Part 1 of the study will be a dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Part 2 will evaluate safety and efficacy of MK-1200 at 2 different doses
This is a parallel group, Phase 3, multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm study for treatment of participants diagnosed with moderate-to-severe AD on background TCS who have had inadequate response to prior biologic or oral JAKi therapy. The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of treatment with amlitelimab solution for subcutaneous (SC) injection compared with placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe AD aged 12 years and older on background TCS and have had an inadequate response to prior biologic or an oral JAKi therapy. Study details include: At the end of the treatment period, participants will have the option to enter the Long-Term Safety Study LTS17367 (RIVER-AD). The study duration will be up to 56 weeks for participants not entering the long-term safety study (LTS17367 [RIVER-AD]) including a 2 to 4-week screening, a 36-week randomized double-blind period, and a 16-week safety follow-up. The study duration will be up to 40 weeks for participants entering the long-term safety study (LTS17367 [RIVER-AD]) including a 2 to 4-week screening and a 36-week randomized double-blind period. The total treatment duration will be up to 36 weeks. The total number of visits will be up to 13 visits (or 12 visits for those entering the long-term safety study LTS17367 [RIVER-AD] study).
Upper gastrointestinal tract disorders, such as gastroparesis, are common in critically ill patients in the ICU, estimated at 60%. Gastroparesis symptoms include nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Risk factors for the development of gastroparesis include diabetes, surgical injury to the vagus nerve (such as certain types of bariatric surgery, and in the past - surgeries for patients who suffered from peptic ulcer), use of drugs that inhibit the activity of the digestive system such as opiates, anticholinergic drugs, sepsis, as well as being bedridden and inactive - are all common conditions in critically ill patients. There are different definitions for gastroparesis. One of the accepted definitions refers to gastric residual volume (GRV) over 200 ml at one measurement. Gastroparesis is found in some studies to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. As mentioned above, it is known that sepsis is a risk factor for gastroparesis. According to our experience based on treatment of a large number of septic patients, we have the impression that often gastroparesis is an early sign for the development of sepsis. We did not find any studies that tested this hypothesis. In this study we would like to investigate whether the development of gastroparesis in critical patients in intensive care can be a predictive sign for the development of sepsis.
