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.
Background: research show that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective inreducing bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder's (BED) symptoms. Today, with the development of technology there are efforts being made for developinga treatment to these eating disorders threw the media, most of these attempts are based on the CBT method. The size of the effect that CBT given threw the internet has on BN and BED is still not entirely clear. Research presented today are mostly based on treatments that were given threw email or Skypeor an automatic self- help stage program. These researches show heterogenic results about the effect it had on eating disorders. In this research we aim to investigate the effect size that a CBT treatment threw a smartphone application that combines a clinician online reply and an automatic feedback in addition to astandard ones a week clinic treatment has on BN and BED symptoms frequency. Methods: Our aim is to make a research using an application that treats that offers an automatic and human therapist and dietitian reply threw a similar application that is suited for them. A selected 40 BN or sub-threshold BN or BED patients, men and women ages 18-60 ,that will turn to the "Sheba eating disorder medical center" will include the research. Half of the participants will receive aCBT treatment threw a smartphone application along with astandardclinical treatment that includes ones a week session with a therapist and ones a week session with a dietitian and the other half will receive a standardclinic treatment alone. We will test the eating disorder symptoms using eating disorders questionnaires at the starting point, at the end of a six months treatment and six months after finishing the treatment. Importance: This research will allow testing the need and benefit that a personal and direct patient- therapist connection has over a standardones a week meeting connection format. In addition, treating with a web application in the future might have a benefit of saving time spent on getting to the clinic, will allow to shorten the time of the session in the clinic and will save cost of the face to face treatment.
The aim of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of BL-8040 (a CXCR4 antagonist) in improving the response to imatinib in CML patients not achieving an optimal response with imatinib alone.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a very common problem that impairs the quality of life of about 17% of adult population in USA above the age of 40. The issues becomes more prominent with getting older. OAB was determined by International Continence Society as urgency (immediate desire to urinate that could not be postponed) with or without incontinence usually associated with increased frequency and nocturia (urination at night). In 2012, American Urologic Association published clinical guidelines for the treatment of OAB of non neurogenic origin. Neuromodulation was proposed as the third line of treatment and two treatments were recommended: sacral nerve neuromodulation (SNM) and posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS). Each of above mentioned procedures are invasive. SNM involves lead implantation in operating room using X-ray guidance and anesthesia. PTNS involves needle insertion on the low extremity. The investigators would like to examine the efficacy of transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) in refractory to the first two lines of OAB treatment patients.
Colchicine has antiinflammatory properties. It has been shown to be effective in improving outcome in stable coronary disease. The exact mechanism is unclear. Study objective: to assess the effect of colchicine on endothelial function using the EndoPAT™ in NSTEMI Patients. Study Hypothesis: There will be a significant difference on the RH-PAT levels of the patients who were in treated with colchicine versus the placebo group Study design and patient Selection One hundred and forty patients with the diagnosis of Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction will be enrolled to a prospective randomized double-blind placebo controlled study in Tel Aviv Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel. Patients will be recruited during their hospitalization before cardiac catheterization. All patients will sign an informed consent. Primary outcome will be the improvement in endothelial function between baseline and after 1 month in both groups
The lack of a precise diagnostic technique for cerebral vasospasm associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) limits the ability to detect and treat this phenomenon. Surveillance Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is the main medical instrument that is utilized to monitor radiographic vasospasm following TBI, yet has its drawbacks such as inaccuracy, highly operator dependent and more. HS-1000 device, an investigational vasospasm detection device, has the potential to safely diagnose and assess vasospasm with minimal discomfort to patients, allowing a new modality for vasospasm measurement tool. We aim to evaluate the correlation between the collected and analyzed data from the HS-1000 device and the clinical findings from the TCD tests post-subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients.
This proposal aims to evaluate safety and efficacy aspects of a new protocol for AVNRT ablation, using a stepwise anatomical approach. The investigators hypothesize that the use of a standardized electro-anatomical guided strategy, using a sequential approach as follows: 1. Right-side postero-septal tricuspid annulus 2. Coronary sinus 3. Left-side postero-septal mitral annulus For slow pathway AVNRT ablation is safe and efficient, increasing the chance of a successful ablation in difficult cases, while reducing the need of re-do procedures and the risk for high-degree atrio-ventricular block. The investigators aim to define and implement a new standardized protocol for AVNRT ablation while at the same time assessing the efficacy and safety of coronary sinus and left-side approaches for slow-pathway ablation.
The study is a double-blind study designed to evaluate the efficacy of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (deep TMS) of the left auditory cortex using the HMCIPCC coil, in the treatment of patients with tinnitus
Immotile sperm is a rather frequent problem encountered in IVF patients. Treatment is usually based on inducing motility with pentoxyphylline (PXN) followed by ICSI. However, fertilization rate with this method is still lower compared with ICSI using motile sperm. One of the reasons for that is the immotile sperm inability to activate the oocyte Our research hypothesis is that better fertilization rate can be accomplished in these cases by combining PXN sperm activation with Ca ionophore oocyte activation.
This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IUB SCu300A spherical copper IUD compared to the standard T shaped copper IUD, the TCu380. Participants will be followed for one year and quality of life measurements will be measured during this period as well.
Prospective trial which includes instillation of intravesical hyaluronic acid in an attempt to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections in patients after orthotopic neobladder reconstruction.
