There are about 256 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.
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 .
Apical lesions usually present clinically as a chronic infection, remaining as asymptomatic apical periodontitis(AAP). Because the balance among inflammation and bacteria is a dynamic process, AAP may undergo an acute exacerbation and become symptomatic, presenting as symptomatic apical periodontitis or acute abscess, or it may evolve from the acute to the chronic stage. Identification of specific biomarker could help in establishing more accurate diagnosis. Biological marker serves as a parameter that is indicative of underlying physiology and health of the tissue. It is measurable as well as quantifiable. The aim of this study: To assess the level of potential biomarkers in asymptomatic and symptomatic apical Periodontitis, and to determine the prediction potential of the same biomarkers for the outcome of endodontic treatment after 1year recall…
detailed changes after ultrasound guided cry for plantar fasciitis in regard pain score and plantar fascia AP diameter in ultrasound scan pre and 30 days post operation
The aim of this study protocol is to describe the rationale and methodology for evaluating the effect of using therapeutic exercises and ultrasound in the rehabilitation of partially injured hamstring muscles on elite football players.
Background: One of the most frequent surgical operations in dentistry is the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which is accompanied by a sequelae of swelling, trismus, and pain. Various techniques have been employed to either prevent or reduce these postoperative outcomes. To the best of our knowledge, few clinical researchers have investigated the effect of local application of Alvogyl paste and Chlorhexidine gel, in the management of pain, facial swelling, and trismus resulting from lower third molar surgical extraction. Aim of the study: The study was meant to compare the effects of 0.2% chlorhexidine gel and Alvogyl paste on the reduction of the inflammatory reaction caused by the surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, which includes pain, facial swelling, and trismus.
Periodontitis is a destructive inflammatory disease of tooth supporting tissues and it adversely affects oral and general health as well as lowering the quality of life. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy is a gold standard technique for treating mild to moderate periodontitis and it was reported to significantly improve oral health related quality of life.
Aim To compare between orthodontic miniscrews coated and uncoated with CHX- HMP NP nanoparticles.
This clinical trial compares the effectiveness of a myofunctional appliance that uses a clear and modified twin block appliance with an expander made from 2mm biocompatible polyethylene terephthalate modified with Glycol thermoplastic material with a conventional twin block appliance with an expander. The trial will be conducted on adolescent patients with class II division 1.
prospective study measuring the outcome of continuous radio frequency 60 degree on lateral epicondylitis not responding to traditional ultrasound guided injection
In this study, we aim to explore the beneficial effect of early short-term (two weeks), self-titrated, basal-only insulin therapy on the degree of glycemic control over 1-year follow through a prospective cohort.
