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.
Background: Nursing students around the world can experience tremendous stress due to their multi-faceted responsibilities. Stress is related to negative health and academic outcomes. Mind-body connection modalities have been used successfully to reduce stress and improve health among healthy and ill individuals in various cultures, but their effects have not yet been studied in the Arab culture. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine and compare the effects of three of such modalities including progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), guided imagery (GI), and mindfulness meditation (MM) on stress and health outcomes in Jordanian nursing students. Methods: Using a randomized controlled design, 124 nursing students will be randomly assigned to 4 groups at a large university in Jordan. The 3 experimental groups (PMR, GI, and MM) will participate in 5 30-minute sessions (one session/week for 5 weeks) led by experienced trainers, in a private room during their clinical days. The control group will stay calm for 30 minutes during introducing the study interventions in another room at the university. The health outcomes will be measured at baseline (Time 1) and the end (Time 3) of the intervention in each group using different physical and self-report measures classified into different health categories such as cognitive health outcomes (executive brain function, stressful appraisal, mindfulness), physical health outcomes (e.g. physical symptoms, heart rate, blood pressure, neurobiological markers such as dopamine, serotonin, cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline), and psychological health outcomes (e.g. depression, anxiety).
Postoperative agitation is a common complication, it's incidence post head and neck surgery is around 11-26%. Avoiding such complication is mandatory to facilitate patient's recovery and reduce risk of postoperative agitation related complications. Our study aims to detect the incidence of agitation following nasal surgery, and to determine the midazolam effect on agitation, when administered just before emergence from anesthesia.
A sample of 40 patients poststroke (24 males) was randomly allocated to either ESWT experimental (n=18) or conventional physiotherapy control group (n=20). All patients received 5 sessions during the treatment program. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Taiwan version Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, and dynamometer (Maximal grip strength) for each participant were assessed before and after the treatment program.
This study was designed to assess the bioequivalence of single oral dose of Progesterone 200 mg Soft Capsule (JSC "Farmak", Ukraine) Versus Utrogestan® 200 mg Soft Capsule (Manufacturer by: Cyndea Pharma, S.L., Spain, MAH: Laboratoires Besins International, France) In healthy female subjects under fasting conditions

The main aim of the study was to identify the various pathogens associated with surgical site infections and their antibiotic susceptibility in a governmental hospital in northern Jordan.
This is a cross-sectional study looking for prevalence of H.Pylori related gastritis among patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy over five year study period. The study also looks for possible association with patients's characteristics. Also, compares its findings with similar regional and international studies.
Mindfulness meditation was used to reduce stress and its responses such as cortisol and C-reactive protein (CRP) among healthy and ill individuals in various cultures, but their effects have not yet been studied among Jordanian nursing students, experienced tremendous stress. Thus, the purpose of study was to examine the effects of three of such intervention on perceived stress (MM) on Trait mindfulness, perceived stress, cortisol, and CRP in Jordanian nursing students. The hypothesis was " mindfulness meditation will improve trait mindfulness, perceived stress, serum cortisol and serum CRP. Using a Randomized controlled study conducted in a large university in Jordan, 108 nursing students were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups equally. The experimental group participated in 5 30-minute weekly sessions of mindfulness meditation. Trait mindfulness, perceived stress, serum cortisol, and CRP were measured at baseline and end of intervention.
Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep disordered breathing. Patients who arrive at the dental office with a diagnosis of OSA are often treated with a mandibular advancement device (MAD). A biomimetic oral appliance therapy (BOAT), offers an alternative non-surgical method, which can putatively resolve OSA by combined maxilla-mandibular correction, and addressing craniofacial deficiencies. The aim: To determine whether maxilla-mandibular correction changes induced by BOAT produce a more favorable upper airway, which might result in a reduction in the severity of OSA. Protocol: Adults who underwent an overnight sleep study and were diagnosed by a sleep specialist physician will be potential subjects for the current study. The BQ and EES will be recorded pre- and post- BOAT treatment. Subjects with mild to moderate OSA will have 2 months follow up visits and a final overnight sleep study to measure apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The subjects will be asked to wear the appliance for 10-12 hours/day and at night. Findings will be analyzed statistically using paired t-tests.
Randomized, two-way, two-period, single oral dose, open-label, crossover, bioequivalence study to compare two tablets of Ivermectin tablets (3 mg Ivermectin) versus two tablets of Stromectol ® tablets (3 mg Ivermectin), in healthy subjects under fasting conditions.
