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.
The management of thoracic outlet syndrome can be either surgical or nonsurgical. Fewer than 20% of patients experience benefits from nonsurgical treatments. Regarding the surgical approach, there's considerable debate about whether to resect the first rib or if a scalenectomy alone suffices. Recently, many experts have concurred on the resection of the first rib. Based on our observations, avulsion of the first rib results in improved outcomes and reduced post-operative pain compared to simple resection. Thus, this study aims to compare the outcomes of first rib resection versus its avulsion in patients with thoracic outlet syndrome.
Orthodontic treatment is an elective procedure to improve the patient's dentofacial appearance. The complex design of fixed appliances provides a platform that leads to increased plaque accumulation around orthodontic brackets. So, the risk to develop demineralization area adjacent to orthodontic brackets is a major barrier in achieving this goal. Oral hygiene is greatly complicated following the placement of fixed orthodontic Appliances. Molar tube in place are considered for nearly all patients experiencing fixed orthodontic therapy over the whole treatment period, which normally lasts 1.5 to 2 years. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the application and antimicrobial efficacy of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles coating on orthodontic molar tube material has not been integrated clinically. White spot lesions during orthodontic treatment have a documented etiology. Briefly, the accumulation of plaque and food around brackets, bands, wires, and other attachments caused decreased pH and increased S. mutans colonization, which led to the possibility of clinical demineralization. The aims of study are to assess the antimicrobial effect of nanoparticle coated stainless steel orthodontic molar tube material (OMT) with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in relative to uncoated orthodontic molar tube (UOMT) against the streptococcus. mutans& lactobacllius bacteria that cause white spot lesion around the fixed orthodontic appliance. .
Prediabetes, characterized by elevated HbA1c levels, is a common precursor to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recent studies have suggested a potential link between prediabetes and nonspecific back pain. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess whether reducing HbA1c levels through lifestyle interventions and, along with the correction of vitamin D and magnesium, can alleviate nonspecific back pain in prediabetic patients.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare the effect of Concurrent cystocele repair and trans obturator tape (TOT) and TOT alone in a sample of Iraqi Female participants with diagnosed stress urinary incontinence and cystocele. The main questions to answer are: 1-What are the effects of the tested Interventions on the outcomes measured by The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) System? 1. What are the effects of the tested Interventions on the degree of pelvic organ prolapse? 2. What are the effects of the tested Interventions on the frequency, severity, and effect of Stress urinary incontinence on the quality of life of the patients? 3. What are the effects of the tested Interventions on the impact of lower urinary tract symptoms on the quality of the patient's life? Female Patients diagnosed with SUI indicated for intervention were divided into 2 groups Group I: (n=49) offered TOT alone Group II: (n=49) offered concurrent TOT and Cystocele Repair Patients were then followed up and evaluated using The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) System, The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and the King Health Questionnaire (KHQ). The efficacy of both procedures and their impact on SUI and quality of life was measured.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the benefit of PRF membrane on bone around dental implant in patients who need treatment with dental implant. Aims of the study: - To study the effect of PRF membrane (with or without bone substitute on increasing bone dimension around dental implant. - To investigate the effects of compositions of PRF (platelets count, WBC count) on bone healing.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the response of different bone densities to treatment with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) in patients who need treatment with dental implant. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To investigate if bone reaction to PRF differ with different bone densities. - To study the effect of PRF on dental implant healing and to assess its effectiveness in accelerating osseointegration. Participants who need treatment with dental implant will be planned to include in this study and will be asked if they are willing to participate in this study voluntarily. All the participants will be given an information sheet and a consent form which provides simple description about the present study and its importance to insure voluntary participation. The patients will be aware that they are completely free to withdraw from the research any time during the research time. Platelet Rich Fibrin will be injected inside the hole that prepared to place dental implant in. Bone density will be evaluated, degree of osseointegration will be monitored.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the influence of thyroxine supplementation on pregnancy outcomes in women with varying levels of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), who have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss in the first trimester. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does thyroxine treatment improve pregnancy outcomes in women with TSH levels between 2.5 mU/L and 4 mU/L? - Is the effect of thyroxine treatment different in women with TSH levels higher than 4 mU/L? Participants will be grouped based on their TSH levels, into two groups - those with TSH levels between 2.5 mU/L and 4 mU/L, and those with TSH levels higher than 4 mU/L. They will then be given thyroxine treatment. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if the pregnancy outcomes differ based on the different TSH levels and thyroxine treatment.
The evaluation of oral melatonin efficacy as premedicant agent in pediatrics undergoing elective cardiac interventions is the primary outcomes of our trail.
Aims of the study: 1. Assess the clinical and radiographical outcomes (success/failure) of root canal treatments performed after traditional vs conservative access cavities in permanent posterior teeth after one-year follow-up. 2. Assess the level of disinfection in root canals accessed by traditional vs conservative access cavities in permanent posterior teeth before obturation. Null hypothesis: 1. There is no difference in the clinical and radiographical outcomes of root canal treatments performed after traditional and conservative access cavities preparation in posterior teeth after one-year of follow-up.
Infertility affects married adults, and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) that can be treated. Women undergoing IVF are more likely to experience depression. There is a need to reduce depression by supporting and advising sufferers. The aim of this study is to evaluate pharmacist counseling's impact on pregnancy rates in depressed infertile females during IVF treatment.
