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.
This study explores an alternative approach using a pre-heated restorative resin composite as a luting material of partial coverage restorations on upper and lower posterior teeth. It will follow a split-mouth design with 60 participants selected based on strict criteria. Assessment at 6 months and 1 year post-delivery utilizes a modified model of USPHS criteria, evaluating retention, color match, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, anatomical form, marginal adaptation, and surface roughness. The null hypothesis: The use of preheated resin composite for cementing partial coverage restoration will not result in significantly superior clinical performance when compared to that after using dual-cure resin cement.
In orthodontics, the teeth tend to move to the extraction space. This tooth movement becomes of larger importance when there is a crowding. During the COVID lockdown period, It was noted that some cases have a significant improvement and almost all the crowding was relieved without appliance activation.
The non cavitated white-spot lesion (WSL) occurs after sometime during fixed orthodontic treatments, and their treatment is mandatory before going into frank cavitation. The resin infiltration material (ICON, DMG, America) is considered to be the gold standard resin infiltrationmaterial used for WSL treatment. It is an efficient material in arresting WSLs and has high favorable esthetic recovery. Furthermore, biomaterials like bioactive glass adhesives HI-bond universal adhesive have always been used for replacement, repair and generation of dental hard tissues. The hypotheses of this study are: 1. There will be no differences in color masking effect on WSLs managed by bioactive glass adhesive or ICON resin infiltration. 2. There will be no significant addition of mineral content into WSLs after treating it with bioactive glass adhesive HI-Bond universal or with ICON.
This research focuses on adding diaphragmatic breathing to conventional physiotherapy sessions, particularly for patients suffering from chronic neck pain aged between 20-40 years in Jordan. Chronic neck pain is recognized as one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal pain disorders, significantly impacting physical, social, and psychological aspects of life. This issue leads to a decline in functional performance and work productivity, negatively affecting both individual and societal levels. Several factors, such as poor posture and prolonged use of smartphones, contribute to the exacerbation of non-specific chronic neck pain. These problems also affect respiratory muscles, particularly the diaphragm responsible for primary respiration, resulting in a shift from abdominal to chest breathing. This alteration increases the use of neck muscles, subsequently intensifying neck pain and negatively impacting sleep quality in these individuals. The primary objective of this therapeutic study is to investigate the role of adding diaphragmatic breathing to physiotherapy sessions in alleviating pain and improving sleep quality. RCT study will investigate the effect of adding the diaphragmatic breathing to conventional physiotherapy treatment on pain and sleep quality over one month.
Regenerative endodontic procedures are intended to replace damaged tooth structures, including dentine and root structures, in addition to cells of the pulp-dentine complex. This treatment modality have been tested on immature necrotic teeth because they are anticipated to have a greater chance of pulp tissue regeneration. However, it has been recently suggested for treating fully formed mature necrotic permanent teeth with closed apices since the conventional root canal treatment yielded many drawbacks. A number of studies have evaluated the regeneration outcomes of using blood clot as a scaffold. However, there are limited studies in the literature on using other scaffolds such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). This clinical study will evaluate clinically and radiographically the effectiveness of PRF versus induced bleeding in treating mature necrotic teeth. Fifty patients with necrotic mature teeth with periapical lesions will be invited to participate in this study. Teeth will be treated using calcium hydroxide as intracanal medicament then using PRF (n=25) and blood clot (n=25) as scaffold. All teeth will be sealed coronally using NeoMTA Plus™. Treated teeth will be assessed clinically and radiographically using 2D periapical radiographs. The reported clinical and radiographic outcomes will be compared using SPSS.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to study patients referred for sleep study by in-lab polysomnography in the Jordan University Hospital and the Jordan Hospital. The main aims are: - To prospectively obtain demographic and clinical information of patients referred for a sleep study. - To determine the diagnostic value of facial discoloration as potential marker for obstructive sleep apnea to increase detection rate for the condition. - To establish a correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and vasovagal symptoms with resulting increased smoking tendency and study the effect of treatment on the disorders. - To determine the association between timing of appearance of obstructive sleep apnea symptoms and initiation of smoking.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are characterized by core domains: persistent deficits in social communication and interaction; restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities.
This is a single ascending dose phase 1 study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of a single intramuscular (IM) injection of quarterly Risperidone (QUAR) for different formulations and dose strengths in participants with schizophrenia.
A growing number of patients develop atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) despite the absence of standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRF-less). There is scarcity of studies that address this issue in the Middle Eastern population.
This study will evaluate a newly developed multimodal health intervention including dietary approach to stop hypertension (DASH) diet, exercise (Ex), and medication adherence (MA) using motivational interviewing (MI) counselling (DASH-Ex MAMI) for hypertensive Jordanian adults in primary care settings.
