There are about 188 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Kuwait. 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 aim of the current study is to determine the effects of resistance exercise on performance of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test and the Colour Trails Test.
The aims of the current study are 1. to compare the effects of acute morning and afternoon resistance exercise on blood glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes. 2. to compare the effects of morning and afternoon resistance exercise training on cardiometabolic health outcomes in people with type 1 diabetes
Safety and efficacy of wide awake local anesthesia no torniquet technique (WALANT) in ankle surgery. Studying risks and benefits from WALANT compared to general anesthesia . WALANT expected to decrease in intraoperative/post operative pain at the surgical site and decrease hospital time .
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the most common presentation of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). It causes significant morbidity and mortality. The Gulf Registry of Acute Coronary Events (Gulf RACE) was conducted in 2007 and filled a wide gap in our understanding of ACS and its management in Kuwait and the Arabian Gulf region. However, the management of ACS has undergone tremendous advances over the last two decades involving pharmacotherapy and device therapy. Practice guidelines have also changed over the last decade. For example, in 2007, there was no catheterization laboratory in any of the general hospitals in Kuwait, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was not being practiced, and the rate of in-hospital cardiac catheterization for all ACS patients was very low at around 10%. Currently, of the eight general hospitals in Kuwait, six have catheterization laboratories and five of the six serve as primary PCI centers. There is no contemporary ACS registry in Kuwait, studying its incidence, management, and influence of current changes in clinical practice on patients' outcomes. This multicentre disease-based, country-wide registry is guided by the American Heart Association policy statement for expanding the applications of existing and future clinical registries and the User's Guide published by the Agency for Health care Research and Quality guidance.
A prospective, controlled, interventional clinical study, includes all patients (16 years) with symptomatic epiphora and diagnosed with grade 1 or grade 2 acquired punctal stenosis. All patients undergo punctal dilatation, canalicular probing and nasolacrimal duct irrigation. Afterwards, patients are divided into two groups: Group A: patients receive only medical treatment in the form of topical 0.05% cyclosporin (Restasis®, Allergan Inc) twice daily for 6 months. Group B: patients receive mini-Monoka stent insertion in the lower canaliculus for 6 months. Outcome measures are changes in Munk scoring, grading of the punctum, functional and anatomical success. Functional success is defined as Munk score 0 to 1. Anatomical success is defined as grade 3 punctum.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and outcome of sealer-based obturation (SBO) using a new calcium silicate sealer in comparison with warm vertical compaction (WVC) using a resin-based sealer, which is the current gold standard.
As both oxytocin and carbetocin are used daily in obstetric units all over the world, the investigators find it compelling to investigate whether the hemodynamic and myocardial effects of oxytocin and carbetocin are comparable in healthy women during delivery and determine any potential harmful effects following the use of oxytocin or Carbetocin as uterotonic. Other endpoints relating to uterus tone, blood loss, blood pressure, heart rate, post-operative pain and side effects will also be assessed.
The trial aimed to evaluate the sealant retention, patient's preference and chair time needed during pit and fissure sealant placement under two isolation techniques [Dryshield system (DS) and cotton roll isolation (CRI)] in a university setting.
Background/Aim: There are no studies that have compared the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of IL-1β in non-smokers (NS) and electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS)-users before and after scaling and root planing (SRP) in patients with gingivitis. The aim of the present study is to compare the effect of scaling and root planing on the expression of IL-1β in the GCF among ENDS-users and NS clinically. Methods: Self-reported current ENDS users and NS would be included. A questionnaire would be used to collect demographic data. All patients would undergo SRP. Clinical measures, periodontal parameters [probing depth (PD), plaque index (PI), and bleeding on probing (BOP)], and GCF IL-1β would be measured at baseline. At 1-week (T1) and 3 weeks (T2) of follow-up, periodontal parameters and GCF IL-1β levels would be re-assessed.
To study whether or not cataract surgery should be deferred until treating the co-existing diabetic macular edema (DME) using intravitreal (IVI) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF).
