There are about 253 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iraq. 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.
The goal of this observational study is to test whether surgeries for lenses designed to be implanted in the eye to correct refractive error can be done without the need for using viscoelastic substances that are used routinely nowadays to make it easier to introduce them inside the human eye and protect the inside of the eye during the operation. The main question it aims to answer is that is it safe to do the surgery without using them? to answer this question researchers will access recorded data of patients that underwent refractive surgeries in a private clinic since 2017 and compare them as two groups: those who underwent the traditional procedures and those who had it without the use of dispersive viscoelastics in regard to their vision before and after surgery, their ocular pressure and biomicroscopic analysis of the inside of their corneas before and after surgery.
A single armed multicenter study enrolling 20 patients using autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (which is done under local or general anesthesia to aspirate around 1-2 cc/kg body weight then concentration which is done by using centrifugation and special disposable kit) local injection of 4 cc per joint under ultrasonic guidance ,completely sterile field with local anesthesia.
The goal of this observational study is to observe and describe the prevalence, types, and risk factors of urinary incontinence (UI) in adult women attending primary healthcare centers in Baghdad, Iraq. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the prevalence of incontinence among the targeted group? - What are the types of incontinence and what is the frequency of each type among the targeted group? - What is the effect of several risk factors on the occurrence and severity of urinary incontinence (including age, job, sexual activity, chronic constipation, chronic cough, parity, largest birth weight, and body mass index)? Participants will be asked to fill out a questionnaire consisting of the Arabic International Consultation On Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (Arabic ICIQ-UI SF) in addition to questions about the aforementioned risk factors.
The goal of this clinical trial is to Investigate the clinical and microbiological efficacies of Laser disinfection and ICG-mediated aPDT as adjunct to RSD for patients with periodontitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the use of laser disinfection or ICG-mediated aPDT as adjunct to RSD are effective in improving clinical parameters and reducing the load of periodontal pathogens. Participants will undergo full-mouth supragingival debridement by using ultrasonic device at baseline. All patients will be instructed to brush their teeth twice daily and will be supplied with the same type of tooth paste and toothbrush, with suitable interdental aids. All the patients will be instructed to attend again after 7 days. One week later, sites randomly allocated to control (Ctrl) group and test groups which will receive, in addition to RSD, either aPDT or periodontal pocket disinfection (Biolase). For all groups, sites with initial PPD 4-6 mm will be treated with RSD using area specific (Graecy) curettes.
investigator is doing single armed clinical interventional study to treat premature ovarian insufficiency with autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells to be given systematically and locally to the ovaries under ultrasound guidance with experienced gynecologist and to look for the results including: laboratory evidence through hormonal study ultrasound proof of ovarian follicle development. premature ovarian insufficiency is characterized by early loss of ovarian function (less than 40 years of age) manifested by menstrual irregularity or amenorrhea with elevated levels of gonadotropin hormones and low estrogen and anti-Mullerian hormone. Autologous use of stem cells from bone marrow are alternative safe minimal manipulative products that can provide a solution to this clinical problem without the need for oocyte donation program.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to provide an Arabic translation of the Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS) and to test the linguistic validity and clinical reliability of the translated Arabic version of ACCS (Arabic-ACCS) in Arabic-speaking women older than 18 years of age diagnosed with uncomplicated cystitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do the questions of the Arabic-ACSS have sufficient clarity? - Can the Arabic-ACCS serve its purpose in identifying the presence of uncomplicated cystitis in Arabic-speaking women? The participant will be asked to fill out the Arabic-ACCS questionnaire at the time of diagnosis. The participants will be asked to fill out the second part of the Arabic-ACCS questionnaire 5-10 days later after receiving the appropriate treatment according to the local health policy as prescribed by the treating physician. Researchers will compare the results from the patients who filled out the first part of the questionnaire with the results of a comparable group of women who were presented with complaints unrelated to the lower urinary tract.
This research studies the effectiveness of the Gum Health gel in minimizing post operative sequelae associated with the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars
A randomized clinical trial to introduce a modified 3D printed customized maxillary protraction facemask and evaluate its efficacy in comparison with the conventional maxillary protraction facemask therapy in correction of Class III malocclusion of young patients
Gingivitis is an inflammatory condition of the gingival tissue, most commonly caused by bacterial infection.The plaque control is considered the most important preventive factor concerning caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis Mechanical means of plaque control, e.g. tooth brushing, flossing and use of other mechanical devices are the most commonly used methods. However, ideal plaque control solely by mechanical means requires a significant effort and is difficult to achieve.This has led to the introduction of chemical methods of plaque control using antimicrobial agentsMore specifically, chemotherapeutic agents with antimicrobial properties, such as 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX).chx has side effects encourage the need to develop alternative mouthwashes with similar efficacy but without these issues.hence the mouthwash enriched with a combination of aqueous extracts of Salvadora persica L. and green tea used as a substitution to CHX with minimal side effects .The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the combination of Gt aqueous extract and Sp aqueous extract in reducing plaque buildup and gingivitis for 4 weeks duration.
Thalassemias are a heterogeneous grouping of genetic disorders that result in dysfunctional Hb, reduced RBC life span leading to chronic anemia . Thalassemia is endemic in the Middle East. Iron chelation therapy (ICT) is one of treatment used however ICT is associated with patients adherence problem thus impacting its effectiveness .
