There are about 254 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.
Periodontitis is a polymicrobial, inflammatory condition affecting tooth-supporting tissues. It is characterized by a progressive loss of epithelial attachment and resorption of alveolar bone, which can lead to tooth loss. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been proposed as a reversible process that shifts the cell phenotype from epithelial to mesenchymal-like and may be involved in the process of periodontal inflammation either completely or partially. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large class of regulatory transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides lacking evident protein-coding potential. Studies have shown that lncRNA dysregulation plays key roles in human diseases, including cancer, by modulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The involvement of lncRNAs markers in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease induced EMT has not been studied thoroughly and have created a gap in the knowledge.
Ability to anticipate the outcomes of periodontal therapy at baseline visit is crucial to outline and customize a treatment plan with predictable outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Presence of diverse range of health/disease-associated molecules in oral environment that reflect health and disease, together with clinical parameters, is an appealing approach to use them as biomarkers to diagnose, predict, and monitor periodontal disease. Among these proteins are E-cad and TAC which available evidence indicate that their concentrations in oral biofluids increase remarkably during periodontitis as compared to healthy periodontium.
The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effect of a curcuma longa oral gel (curenext) on reducing radiation-induced oral mucositis severity in cancer patients and provide a context for understanding if there is a relationship between the curcumin clinical effect and production of EGFs and IL8. Researchers will compare between curcumin group and standard treatment group.
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN) is a progressive pathological process resulting from disruption of blood supply to the femoral head and elevation of intraosseous pressure. total hip arthroplasty is frequently the only durable option for pain relief and restoration of function. this is a single armed study to be done from July 2023 till January 2024, the total number of patients anticipated is 10, total joints treated around 20, The procedure includes core decompression with autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cell injection inside the femoral head using local anesthesia ultrasound and fluoroscopy guided without drilling.
The goal of this interventional Randomized clinical is to compare the effect of Metformin alone, Cabergoline alone and Metformin and Cabergoline in combination in a sample of Iraqi female patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The main questions to answer are: 1. What are the effects of the tested regimens on Body mass index (BMI)? 2. What are the effects of the tested regimens on hormonal status? 3. What are the effects of the tested regimens on uterine artery resistive index ? 4. What are the effects of the tested regimens on some inflammatory markers? Participants will be separated into two groups: 1. Group 1 (M): 25 Patients, Received Metformin 500mg per oral twice daily for 90 days duration. 2. Group 2 (D): 25 Patients, Received Dostinex (Pergolin) 0.5 mg per oral (single dose per/week). 3. Group 3 (MD): 25 Pateins, Received metformin 500 mg per oral twice daily for 90 days duration and Dostinex (Pergolin) as 0.5 mg per oral (single dose per/week). Researchers will compare Group 1 (M), Group 2 (D), Group 3 (MD) to observe the effect of the tested treatment regimens on Body Mass Index, Hormonal status, uterine artery resistive index, and some inflammatory markers that are IL-18, Anti-GAD Antibody and GnRH Antibody.
Compare the clinical performance, root resorption and pain perception between passive self-ligating Damon Ultema vs conventional brackets.
This study is designed as a Prospective Randomized Clinical Trail, Evaluate the effect of osseodensification technique on primary stability in comparison to the conventional drilling technique in immediate single fresh extraction sockets.
Venipuncture, the process of obtaining blood samples for diagnostic purposes, is a common medical procedure performed worldwide. However, it can be associated with varying levels of pain and discomfort for patients. Therefore, implementing effective pain management strategies during venipuncture is crucial to ensure patient comfort and improve the overall healthcare experience. This comprehensive overview aims to highlight the significance of pain management during venipuncture procedures. This study will investigate the effects of a pharmacological approach on the pain that children experience during venipuncture in a randomized trial. TKTX topical anesthetic cream is a new commercially available product. In this study, the cream will be used for a shorter period of time than other creams used in previous studies, and it will also be free of side effects as they have been in previous studies with other creams.
infants had a condition that might influence their responses to pain, e.g., congenital anomalies or severe illnesses requiring treatment with antiepileptics, muscle relaxants, or analgesic drugs.
This study Is designed as a prospective randomized, single-blinded clinical trial. To evaluate The anesthetic efficacy of articaine as a buccal Injection for maxillary premolar teeth extraction, compared to lidocaine as a buccal and palatal injection.
