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.
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.
Objective: To compare the additive effect of topical cyclosporine A 0.05% eye drops to prednisolone eye drops, with topical prednisolone acetate 1% eye drops alone in treatment of herpetic stromal keratitis. Methods: Patients diagnosed with herpetic stromal keratitis are randomly divided into 2 groups; Group A: receive cyclosporine eye drops together with prednisolone eye drops. Group B: receive topical prednisolone with placebo eye drops (tear replacement). The 2 groups receive systemic acyclovir therapeutic dose 400 mg five times daily, which then tapered to twice daily prophylactic dose after one month of treatment. Follow up for patients is scheduled as a weekly visit for a duration of 2 months.
the aim of the proposed research is to investigate the short and long-term effects of integrating a comprehensive fall prevention programme into conventional physiotherapy on the number of falls, balance, and functional ability among elderly following TKR. the investigator hypothesize that conventional physiotherapy integrated with a fall prevention program is more effective than conventional physiotherapy alone in improving balance and functional ability and preventing the occurrence of falls among elderly following TKR. Study type: The proposed study is a parallel group prospective (24 weeks) randomised single-blinded pragmatic controlled trial. Participants: Older adults operated for TKR at Al-Razi orthopedic hospital, who met the inclusion criteria.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the colon. Participants with UC have mucosal inflammation starting in the rectum that can extend continuously to proximal segments of the colon. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating adult participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is a drug approved for the treatment of Ulcerative colitis (UC). All study participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Approximately 1000 adult participants will be enrolled worldwide. Participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for up to 3 years. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.
The COSMIC trial will be a multicentred, national, parallel-group, pragmatic vanguard pilot trial.
Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN) is a very rare hematologic malignancy. Despite recent advances, at present there is no consensus on the optimal treatment of BPDCN. The optimal therapy of disease remains to be determined, and due to the rarity of cases, there is a need for international collaboration to collect data on BPDCN clinical presentations, diagnostics, treatment regimens and outcomes. Therefore, the objectives of this study are: (1) to build a large database of patients with BPDCN, (2) to investigate the characteristics and outcome of the disease with different treatment regimens, (3) to evaluate prognostic factors, and (4) to generate data-based prospective treatment recommendations.
The aim of the current study is to determine the effects of vitamin K2 supplementation on muscle size and function in adults with muscle weakness and type 2 diabetes.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a common condition among young children that could range in severity. in most sever cases, surgical intervention is the best choice to correct the hip abnormality with the aim of restoring optimal functional ability. Referring patient for physiotherapy treatment post operative is not a common practice and surgeons relay on children natural developmental milestone in their recovery. however, prescribed physiotherapy treatment could promote maximum functional recovery and wellness. the aim of this research is (1) to evaluate the functional deference between patients who had conventional physiotherapy treatment program and patients who had home program prescribed by the orthopedic surgeon (2) to investigate what might be the underlying risk factors that could enhance or prohibit satisfactory functional level post operatively. all individuals diagnosed with DDH and operated by Dr. Saleh Alsaifi (an orthopedic surgeon at alrazi orthopedic hospital) will be invited to participate in this study. The study will look at the children development in fictional ability postoperatively. not being referred to physiotherapy is a common practice, so the patients in the intervention group will benefit from having regular physiotherapy treatment with no risk at all. the study run from Alrazi orthopedic hospital in kuwait. the research is a collaboration between an orthopedic surgeon (Dr. Saleh Alsaifi) and physiotherapy team and it is expected to recruit all of the eligible patients through 12 months period (approximately 50 patients) then, the data will be sorted for analysis and reporting. the study is not funded with no personal interest.
This study will assess patients expectations pre-op and assess their views on their outcome at one year follow up
The study will prospectively follow patients with lower limb fractures to assess changes in weight after injury
