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.
This study aims to evaluate the safety and analgesic effect (efficacy) of Gastrolith powder (GASP) on skeletal pain caused by osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) versus placebo, primarily as assessed by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). It is also intended to evaluate disability change with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI) and to evaluate whether GASP consumption leads to reduction in analgesic standard of care (ASOC) versus placebo, using weekly analgesic consumption diaries.
The objective of the study is to create a test that will discriminate between malignant and benign ovarian mass that was diagnosed by ultrasound. The investigators will examine about 800 women and at the end of the study the investigators will combine data from the woman's history, the sonographic characters of the mass and serum biological markers along with the woman's outcome (which means - whether the mass was malignant, benign, or disappeared or remained constant with no intervention).
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of mesh fixation using absorbable versus non-absorbable sutures.
The objective of this Trial is to evaluate the performance of RPh201 as a treatment for the healing of partial thickness burns. It is further postulated that deep second degree lesions will benefit from the RPh201 treatment promoting granulation and epithelialization as well as wound closure.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether short-course antibiotic therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of cancer patients with febrile neutropenia.
Background: schizophrenia is a debilitating mental disorder affecting about 1% of the general population. About 30% of patients will not react to current drug treatment and defined as treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients (TRSP). The best studied therapeutic option for this population is clozapine therapy. Clozapine was shown to be effective than any other antipsychotic drug in TRSP. Moreover, augmentation of clozapine was not demonstrated to be more effective than clozapine monotherapy. Albeit Clozapine superiority in TRSP, its use may be involved with many adverse effects, some of them are life-threatening, and need for routine blood tests. Amisulpride is an atypical antipsychotic drug with a different mechanism of action than clozapine, with less adverse effects. No study compared directly amisulpride and clozapine in TRSP. Study objective: to compare, for the first time, the broad clinical effectiveness of clozapine and amisulpride and their combination in TRSP. Study Design: a clinical, prospective, naturalistic, randomized, comparative study simulating a real-world approach of clinical decision making. Methods: a total of 140 TRSP will be recruited from a large regional mental health center. Participants will be randomized into two treatment groups (70 in each group): clozapine monotherapy and amisulpride monotherapy. Assessment will be done following 10 and 20 weeks of treatment. In case of treatment failure (insufficient clinical response or severe adverse effect) participants will be offered either to switch to clozapine treatment (for failed amisulpride treatment) or to augment clozapine with amisulpride (for failed clozapine monotherapy patients). Thereafter, participants will be followed-up for a year. Assessment will be made using clinician rated scales and self-completed questionnaires, rating the broad phenomenology of schizophrenia (psychosis, mood, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, cognitive and quality of life) and drug-related adverse effects (objective and subjective). Analysis: comparison of the effectiveness of the three treatment groups: amisulpride, clozapine and their combination, in the various dimensions of TRSP.
Patients who completed the conventional treatment against HCV and relapsed (the virus appeared again in their blood) have no effective therapy.
The purpose of this prospective exploratory study is to compare sleep quality and sleep-wake patterns in parents of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) before and several weeks after initiating using real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) of their children.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of alpha agonist ointment on fecal incontinence severity in patients with idiopathic fecal incontinence.
Women with pelvic floor prolapse who underwent surgery with mesh will be enrolled. The investigators will compare data from the chart, telephone interviews and physical examinations between those who underwent mesh placement to those who underwent placement of PIVS.
