There are about 351 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Nigeria. 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.
Sub-Saharan African women continue to face socio-economic challenges and limited reproductive freedoms, which diminishes their ability to exercise agency and choice in their lives and their environment. The goal of this study is to generate rigorous scientific evidence on empowering women individually and in households through a cluster randomized control trial. The trial will test the efficacy of a multi-sectoral program targeting three critical domains of female empowerment through gender socialization education, counseling and improved access to family planning, financial literacy among couples in Ibadan, Nigeria. The innovation in this approach is the focus on creating a supportive intra-familial environment to accelerate progress towards female empowerment, not just with the multi-sectoral intervention, but also by targeting both partners of couples, individually and together. It is hoped that there will be a shift of broader community norms by building the capacity of study couples to transfer their newly acquired knowledge and skills to other couples in their community, thereby creating a ripple of change.
This is a one stage phase II study with a single arm design. It will be conducted in HER-2 positive breast cancer patients in Nigeria who are chemotherapy/hormonal treatment naive.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptability and performance of a directly assisted oral HIV self-testing (HIVST) program in a youth population aged 14-24 in Nigeria. The study is oral HIV self-testing (HIVST) program in a youth population aged 14-24 in Nigeria. The study is focused on assessing young people's ability to correctly perform the test.
Previous studies have shown that a small incentive can have a large impact on health behaviors like vaccinating children. New Incentives, an international non-governmental organization (NGO), aims to boost demand for immunization by offering cash incentives to caregivers who have their child vaccinated at a program clinic. In collaboration with New Incentives, IDinsight is conducting a study to see whether this approach will increase immunization in North West Nigeria. This study aims to investigate whether giving cash to caregivers in North West Nigeria who bring their infants to receive vaccination against common infections (tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, Haemophilus influenzae Type B (Hib), pneumococcal bacteria, measles, rotavirus, polio, yellow fever) increases the proportion of children who are immunized. The study's main hypothesis is that New Incentives' program will increase the percentage of children immunized with BCG, any PENTA, or Measles 1 by an average increase of at least 7-percentage points across all program clinics that share a similar profile to the clinics New Incentives will operate in at scale. The study is taking place in Jigawa, Katsina, and Zamfara States between August 2017 and January 2020.
The study will involve giving topical analgesia or placebo and then assessing pain and satisfaction during and after the procedure in order to see wed to the placebo.hether the topical analgesia has helped in decreasing pain associated with the procedure and also whether it has increasedd satisfaction with the procedure compar
The therapeutic efficacy of three types of orchidectomy was ascertained as well as the QoL and scrotal cosmetic satisfaction of patients in the three surgical arms. Two of these surgeries produced a pseudotesticle (BSCO, BESO) while one (BSO) did not.
The ISAP study is investigating the efficacy of SMS messages in improving routine childhood Immunization timeliness and completeness in Nigeria.
FALCON is a Pragmatic multi-centre trial testing measures to reduce superficial or deep skin infection following abdominal surgery in low and middle income countries. The trial will recruit patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Recruited participants will be randomly assigned to four arms to receive different combinations of skin preparation and sutures for would closure: A. In this arm surgeon will use 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine for skin cleansing and non-coated suture for wound closure; B. In this arm surgeon will use 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine for skin cleansing and triclosan coated suture for wound closure; C. In this arm surgeon will use for operation 10% aqueous povidone-iodine for skin cleansing and non-coated suture for wound closure; D. In this arm surgeon will use 10% aqueous povidone-iodine for skin cleansing and triclosan-coated suture.
The investigators propose to conduct a nationwide (Nigeria), prospective, non-interventional cohort study describing the clinical course, biological characteristics, case management and outcomes in patients hospitalized for a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of Lassa fever in tertiary medical facilities situated in the most affected Nigerian states. Special focuses will be made on situations at risk of bad outcome such as pregnancies, acute kidney injury and electrolytic imbalance in patients with confirmed Lassa fever. Participants for which the diagnosis of Lassa fever will be finally excluded by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) will constitute the control group.
Except for children with HIV, all recommendations for treatment of childhood malnutrition are for children < 5 years of age. The overall goal of this randomized controlled nutrition feasibility trial is to identify whether families of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) 5 years and older agree to participate over a 12-week period. The investigators will also establish a safety protocol for monitoring potential complications associated with treating severe malnutrition in children 5 years and older with and without SCD, in a low-resource setting.
