NCT ID: NCT05999279 Completed - Patient Preference Clinical Trials

Patient Preferences With Pharmaceutical Care: In-person Versus Digital Health

Start date: July 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Digital pharmaceutical care, also known as e-pharmaceutical care or telepharmacy, refers to using digital technologies to provide remote pharmaceutical care services. It involves the application of digital tools and platforms to deliver medication-related services, patient counseling, medication management, and other pharmaceutical care activities. It allows patients to access pharmaceutical services conveniently from their homes or any location with an internet connection. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with limited mobility, those living in rural or underserved areas, or patients with difficulty visiting a physical pharmacy. However, it is essential to note that while digital pharmaceutical care provides many benefits, it may only suit some patients or situations. Some individuals may still prefer face-to-face interactions or may require hands-on assistance, especially for complex medication management. Healthcare providers should assess the appropriateness of digital solutions on a case-by-case basis and ensure patient privacy and data security when implementing digital pharmaceutical care services.

NCT ID: NCT05939102 Completed - Dental Malocclusion Clinical Trials

Eighteen-month Orthodontic Bracket Survival Rate With the Conventional Bonding Technique Versus RMGIC and V-prep

Start date: December 10, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study was to evaluate over eighteen months the clinical bonding failure and survival rates of the conventional bonding technique using the Transbond XT (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA) and the RMGIC Fuji Ortho LC (GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) prepared with the V-prep. Therefore, one operator using the straight-wire technique bonded two hundred metallic brackets to upper and lower premolars of twenty-five patients requiring an orthodontic treatment. The randomized trial was a single-blind design in a split-mouth comparison. Each patient was randomly allocated one of the two bonding systems for each premolar on each side of the mouth. The bonding and rebonding techniques were standardized throughout the trial and bond failure was recorded each month for a period of eighteen months.

NCT ID: NCT05872321 Completed - Clinical trials for Per-operation Complications

Assessment of the New Lateral Sinus Floor Elevation Technique Using Piezosurgery: A Clinical and Radiographic Retrospective Study

Start date: July 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

All patients who received lateral sinus floor elevation using this new piezosurgery technique, were selected. The personal file of each patient was retrieved and the following data were taken: age, sex, smoking habits, occurrence of per-operative complications (mucosal perforation, hemorrhage) and post-operative infectious complications. Pre-operative CBCT of included patients were all performed using the same Newtom VGI radiographic machine and collected from the radiology unit at the Faculty of Dental Medicine at Saint Joseph University of Beirut. The measurement of the studied factors was performed on Newtom VGI viewer software, by two evaluators J.B. and A.M.

NCT ID: NCT05870085 Completed - Child Behavior Clinical Trials

Impact of Neuro-linguistic Programming on Schoolchildren's Performance

Start date: March 20, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a methodology developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, based on the idea that language and behavior are interconnected and can be systematically modeled and changed. NLP is often used as a form of psychotherapy, coaching, or personal development, although its effectiveness has been debated in the scientific community. NLP practitioners believe that our thoughts, emotions, and behavior are influenced by our internal representations of the world, which are constructed through language and sensory experiences. Changing the use of language and the perception of experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behavior can be adjusted accordingly. NLP uses various techniques to achieve this, including reframing, anchoring, and rapport-building. Reframing involves changing the perception of a situation by putting it in a different context or perspective. Anchoring consists in associating a particular state of mind or emotion with a specific physical or sensory stimulus, such as a touch or a smell. Rapport-building involves establishing a connection and a sense of trust with another person through mirroring and matching their body language, tone of voice, and language patterns.

NCT ID: NCT05859282 Completed - Pregnancy Related Clinical Trials

Development and Validation of a Short Tool to Assess the Awareness of Pregnancy-induced Hypertension

Start date: November 7, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is responsible for most perinatal and fetal mortality. Few programs are patient-centered during pregnancy, increasing the risks of misinformation and misconceptions among pregnant women and, as a result, malpractices. Objective: This study aims to develop and validate a form to assess the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about PIH.

NCT ID: NCT05844410 Completed - COVID-19 Pandemic Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Corticosteroids Use and Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: A Retrospective Study

Start date: October 20, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Despite the recommendations to avoid using corticosteroids systematically for hospitalized coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) patients, healthcare professionals used personalized treatments, including corticosteroids, as adjuncts to treat their patients due to their limited access to treatment options. This study aims to evaluate the use of corticosteroids among hospitalized COVID-19 patients with all-cause mortality as the primary outcome and to assess the predictors of all-cause mortality associated with the characteristics of the patients and the corticosteroid regimens adopted.

NCT ID: NCT05836129 Completed - Stress Clinical Trials

TML
Start date: May 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the experiences of women who learn the TM technique to those who do not. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do women in rural Lebanon who practice the TM technique experience lower stress levels compared to those who do not. 2. Do women in rural Lebanon who practice the TM technique experience increased happiness, self-efficacy, and resilience levels compared to those who do not. Participants will: - complete baseline surveys - be divided into experimental and active-control groups - those in the experimental group will learn the TM technique, the control group will be offered an online didactic course on stress reduction - both groups will complete post-test surveys at the end of 1 and 3 months - Researchers will compare experimental and control groups to see if the intervention effects stress levels.
