There are about 483 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Jordan. 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 outcome of implant therapy has been presented in the majority of clinical studies by focusing only on implant survival without providing detailed information on the reconstructions . However, for decision making, it is important to know the survival rates and the incidence of biological and technical complications not only for the implants but also for the reconstructions. Thus, the selection of restoration materials should be based on proper optical characteristics in addition to biocompatibility and sufficient strength of materials. Monolithic zirconia has been used in posterior region, especially for single crowns, in order to eliminate the veneer cracking, But Since monolithic zirconia are relatively new, few randomized, controlled clinical studies have evaluated their success. There is only one study identified regarding the performance of monolithic ceramic restorations bonded to Ti inserts, investigating the clinical outcome of using monolithic or modified monolithic zirconia implant-supported single crowns and comparing outcomes and complications of metal-ceramic and monolithic or modified monolithic zirconia implant supported single crowns. More clinical studies to evaluate the performance of CAD/CAM monolithic implant-supported restorations bonded to Ti inserts and bases and compare their survival, success and complication rates with other restorative options [with a mean follow-up period of at least 5 years are required for a meaningful interpretation of the survival and complication rate . So this study aims to investigate outcomes and complications of implant supported modified monolithic zirconia and metal-ceramic single crowns in the posterior region of the mouth. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between modified monolithic zirconia and metal-ceramic posterior implant-supported SCs in prosthetic complication rates.
Low back pain (LBP) is the leading musculoskeletal condition in burden of disease and years lived with disability. This high ranking is in large part due to the high prevalence of LBP. LBP is not only mechanically related to spinal pathophysiology (i.e., postural alterations, articular stiffness, or muscle weakness), but may also be influenced by psychosocial factors such as attitudes and beliefs. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs, which include biopsychosocial management, resulted in a better outcome. The aim of this project is to determine if the change in LBP-related knowledge and attitudes toward LBP are correlated with the change in LBP-related pain, disability, fear avoidance, and emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress after three months. The second aim is to investigate the effect of adding LBP knowledge related education sessions to standard physical therapy treatment on patients' LBP knowledge, attitudes toward LBP, LBP-related pain, disability, fear avoidance, and emotional symptoms in comparison to standard physical therapy alone.
The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the combination hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin (HCQ and AZ) in reducing the infection risk among health care professionals in direct contact with COVID-19 patients.
Vital pulp therapy including pulpotomy is commonly used for managing teeth with carious pulp exposure instead of performing root canal therapy. The gold standard materials used in this procedure are the calcium silicate based materials, however recent case reports have shown tooth discoloration caused by these materials especially MTA which is of concern to the patients. The aim of this study is to compare tooth color changes and discoloration induced by 3 calcium silicate based materials used in pulpotomy over 6 months, 12 months and yearly up to 5 years.
Permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure and indicated for full pulpotomy will be treated using three different materials using aseptic technique and will be subsequently followed up clinically and radiographically at 6 months, 1 year and yearly up to 5 years.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of autofluorescence in the intraoperative preservation of parathyroids during total thyroidectomy with central lymph node compartment dissection.
Detrusor underactivity (DU) is a known disease of the muscles of the urinary bladder that defined as a weak contraction of the muscle resulting in a failure to achieve complete bladder emptying. Recently, DU as a cause of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in both men and women has been increasingly gaining attention. There is a major issue in differentiation of underactive bladder symptoms and other causes of lower urinary tract symptoms such as detrusor hyperactivity and impaired contractility (DHIC), hypersensitive bladder (HSB), detrusor overactivity (DO), bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and Dysfunctional Voiding (DV). Urodynamics (UDS) is the standard diagnostic tool, it includes invasive recording of the pressure that is produced when the bladder muscle contracts via pressure sensors introduced in the urinary bladder through special types of urethral catheters. This study aims to determine the prevalence of DU along with its symptomatic and urodynamics (UDS) characteristics of DU in Jordanian population through a retrospective chart review.
To determine if combining intravenous oxytocin infusion and spinal anesthesia will reduce the amount of glycine absorption in patients undergoing operative hysteroscopy
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy of the administration of phenobarbital sodium injection in neonates who have suffered from electrographic or electroclinical seizure. As neonatal seizures can have long-term adverse effects, including death, placebo-controlled studies are not appropriate for this population. This study is designed to show intravenous phenobarbital is effective at preventing subsequent seizures by demonstrating greater efficacy at a higher dose compared to a lower dose.
Background: Healthcare settings must be a patient-friendly environment for the investigator's older adults who are in an imperative need for compassionate healthcare when approaching their later life. However, older adults until this moment are experiencing age discriminative acts by nurses who are supposed to act in favor of their patients. Ageism is not always a result of either negative attitudes or misconceptions toward older adults, but to the innate fear of death where nurses perceive older adults as a powerful reminder of death. Although cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is well known for targeting psychological distresses, to date, no research has investigated its effectiveness in relieving nurses' death anxiety and ageism. This study examined the effectiveness of CBT to relieve nurses' death anxiety and ageism toward older adults. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted during August 2019 in the university hospital. A total of 110 nurses selected through proportional stratified sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The intervention consisted of six two-hour training sessions delivered in five modules with the integration of different CBT exercises. The effect of CBT was assessed on measures of a series of validated questionnaires of study variables before and after the training sessions.
