There are about 3285 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Pakistan. 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.
Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal condition. Painful gradual loss of both active and passive gleno-humeral motion resulting from progressive fibrosis and ultimate contracture of the gleno-humeral joint capsule.Scapular position and movement perception both effected by shoulder adhesive capsulitis, change in the scapular kinematics in the form of an increase in scapular lateral rotation, and reduced joint sense for shoulder movements in adhesive capsulitis. Physiotherapists have a wide range of options in managing Adhesive capsulitis including Electrotherapeutic modalities, kaltenborn mobilization, Maitland's mobilization,Mulligan's mobilization and Manipulation. So far studies have shown the efficacy of different treatments in combination or in isolation.Few studies on proprioception in rotator cuff tear, sub acromial impingment syndrome, but no obseved effects of scapular mobilization on shoulder proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulitis.Physical therapist focus on lowering pain and ROM limitations in the shoulder,but often neglect to evaluate proprioception/joint position sense as well as the roleof scapula in adhesive capsulitis during treatment.If found effective,this study can help in probviding treatment protocols for improving proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulits.
This study is a quasi experimental and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of eccentric exercises on gait parameters in patellofemoral pain syndrome: a quasi - experimental study
Type II diabetes is a serious challenge for Pakistan. Not using medications properly increases healthcare costs and diabetes-related deaths. A mobile app in local language can improve medication adherence and self-management among diabetics. Therefore, in this 18 months long study researchers will develop a diabetes-related mobile application in Urdu, and will conduct a trial to assess whether it improves medication compliance and self-management, and how much economical this app would be compared to the usual standard of care for type II diabetics in Pakistan. This trial will be conducted at the National Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology Karachi. The study participants will be divided in two groups. Only one group will use this application. Researchers will measure medication compliance and self-management through diabetes-specific blood test and self-reporting questionnaires between two groups. Researchers will also determine how much economic costs would be saved by using this app to improve medication compliance
Background: Although Inguinal herniotomy in children is taken as a day care procedure, post-operative pain management still remain controversial in these cases and superiority of wound infiltration, caudal block or regional block over each isn't known. Objective: The objective of the study was compare regional block, caudal block and wound infiltration for post-operative pain management in children undergoing inguinal herniotomy
To asses the prevalence of Attention deficit hyperactivity disrorder in undiagnosed young adults.
Introduction: Early detection is important in treating patients with Eczema Herpeticum (EH), which may arise in paediatric burn patients. As soon as a clinical diagnosis is confirmed, antiviral medications should be started to ensure an early resolution of the disease. Several studies have indicated that acyclovir is the best treatment for EH lesions in the majority of individuals. Objective: Compare efficacy of the prophylactic acyclovir and placebo in preventing eczema Herpeticum in paediatric burn patients
Streptococcus salivarius K12, an oral probiotic strain, has emerged as a promising tool in promoting oral health. Found naturally in the mouth, S. salivarius K12 works by establishing itself in the oral cavity and producing antimicrobial compounds, such as bacteriocins, including salivaricin A2 (SalA2) and the 2,740-Da salivaricin B (SboB) lantibiotics, which inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria including Streptococcus pyogenes. By maintaining a healthy balance of oral microbiota, this probiotic may help prevent common oral health issues such as bad breath, throat infections, and tooth decay. While further research is needed to fully elucidate its mechanisms and efficacy, S. salivarius K12 holds potential as a natural and safe adjunct to oral hygiene practices for promoting overall oral health and hygiene.
A total of 80 patients with complex fistula in ano of both genders were included. All patients in Group A underwent a loose seton technique. In group B, video-assisted fistula tract surgery (VAAFTS) was performed.Twice daily Sitz baths, analgesics, and stool bulking agents (bran) were used in follow-up care. Repeated examinations were carried out every four weeks and recurrence was noted at the end of three months
In this study we want to introduce the beneficiary combine effects of chest mobilization and chest physiotherapy exercises by using cough peak flow meter and chest expansion in stroke patients. by using theses combine exercises physiotherapist can develop target rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors.
"A randomized control trial will be conducted among 189 patients who have undergone cardiac surgery in past. The participants for this research will be patients of Pakistan Institute of Cardiology, University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Azra Naheed Medical College and Bahria International Hospital. The chest physiotherapy technique will be applied on 2 controlled groups. In 94 patients the effects of chest physiotherapy will be checked post - operatively and the effects will be checked on other half pre - operatively. The data will be gathered on practical performance and treatment based along with questionnaire. The data collected will then be analyzed using SPSS"
