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.
"Office workers often spend long hours sitting, which can lead to stiffness and reduced mobility. By studying these two techniques AIS and MFR, we can determine which one is more effective in helping office workers to improve their flexibility and range of motion in the knee joint because their sedentary work environment often leads to musculoskeletal issues, including limited knee joint mobility. AIS involves stretching specific muscles while actively engaging opposing muscles to enhance the effectiveness of the stretch. It aims to increase the extensibility of muscles and improve joint mobility. On the other hand, MFR focuses on releasing tension and adhesions in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and joints, to restore mobility and reduce pain. Understanding the benefits and effectiveness of these techniques will contribute to evidence-based practices in occupational health and help office workers maintain optimal joint health"
A laparotomy is a surgical technique, the increasing rate of this surgical interventions and the subsequent need to evaluate the post-surgical recovery and rehabilitation process comprehensively. This study aims to provide essential insights into the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of such tests, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about patient recovery progress and the optimization of rehabilitation protocols.
The study will be a Randomized controlled trial to check the combined effects of Core Stability Exercises with and without Back strengthening exercises in females with pregnancy-induced back pain, disability, and function so that we can examine the effect of the above techniques on pain, disability and function in pregnant females Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used, subject following eligibility criteria from Society Hospital Nabipura Lahore will be randomly allocated in two groups. Group A participants will be given core stability exercises with back strengthening exercises, Group B participants will be given core stability exercises for 4 weeks. Assessment will be done via, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Oswestry disability index questionnaire and Back pain Functional Scale.
The goal of this Randomized control trial is to determine the Effect of kinesthetic exercises and sound waves on pain, ROM, shoulder alignment and disability in cervical spondylosis. The main question it aims to answer is: Weather sine sound and kinesthetic exercise are effective in management of pain, rom, alignment, and disability in patients that are suffering from cervical spondylosis

Many patients suffer from dental anxiety and don't go to dentists for regular checkups. This can lead to the initiation and progression of dental caries, which, if not controlled at the right time, can lead to the loss of the tooth itself. Many forms of distraction have been used to overcome this; music is also one of them. The main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of binaural beats and 432 Hz music in reducing preoperative dental unease and anxiety among adult patients undergoing root canal treatment in a dental teaching hospital. The null hypothesis is that both binaural beats and 432 Hz-frequency music are not effective in reducing preoperative dental anxiety among patients undergoing routine endodontic therapy in a dental teaching hospital. A total of three groups will be a part of this study, with a total sample size of 99 participants (33 participants in each group). Group A will listen to 432 Hz music for 10 minutes before the procedure, Group B will listen to binaural beats for 10 minutes before the procedure; and Group C (active control group) will listen to white noise for 10 minutes before the procedure. The Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety will be used to assess the anxiety levels before local anesthesia administration, after local anesthesia administration, and 10 minutes after listening to sounds. Then root canal treatment will be completed as a routine procedure.
Neonatal jaundice has significant importance in neonatal morbidity and mortality world-wide. Though phototherapy has a relentless use in neonatal jaundice, its cumbersome side effects and the physical separation of baby from the mother eventually result as increase in days of hospitalization adding to the mental anguish of the parents. This study is conducted to observe the reduction of serum bilirubin level in neonates treated with Fenofibrate as an adjuvant to phototherapy in treatment of exaggerated physiological hyperbilirubinemia. After informed consent, single dose of Fenofibrate will be given to the group A (intervention group) and Group B (non-intervention) will only be given phototherapy. Then every 24-hourly sample for serum bilirubin will be sent for lab analysis, for 3 days. A randomized control trial is conducted and later on, the data will be analyzed in the SPSS 26. Quantitative variables like age will be presented as mean ± SD. Qualitative variables like gender will be presented as percentage and frequency. Comparison of two groups intervention group and non-intervention group, apply independent sample t-test. P value < 0.05 will be taken as significant. Limitation of the proposed study includes limited sample size, study population limited to only one hospital and no follow-up in plan. If the role of Fenofibrate is established in the management of exaggerated physiological hyperbilirubinemia in newborns, it will be beneficial to minimize the risk of the complications, rapid regression of hyperbilirubinemia & shortening the length of hospital stay.
Stroke is a neurological disease characterized by neurological deficits caused by insufficiency of blood supply to brain. Disruption of blood supply to brain can be due to blockage of blood supply (ischemic) or leakage of blood in brain due to rupture of blood vessel (hemorrhagic). 90.5% of global occurrence of stroke was subjected to modifiable risk factors according to Global Burden of Disease study. This study aims to compare the effects of core strengthening and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on static standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients.
This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy of valacyclovir in reducing postoperative pain following emergency chamber opening for acute apical abscess . There will be 82 participants, (41 in each group) Group A will receive Valacyclovir Group B will receive standard treatment i.e. Naproxen Sodium. Pain level will be assessed by using Numeric rating scale for 6 days
Cerebral palsy is a motor disorder caused by the damage to the developing brain. Feeding and swallowing difficulties are common in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Poor postural control and oral motor dysfunction results in extended feeding time, frequent coughing, choking and excessive drooling affecting their health and quality of life. The brain damage in CP is permanent that cannot be fixed however different oral motor exercises, oral facial facilitation and oral sensorimotor interventions are widely used for drool reduction and feeding difficulties in children with CP. Spastic cerebral palsy is one of most prevalent type of CP that is characterized by increased tone and stiffness of muscles. This research will be conducted to evaluate the comparative effects of oral motor facilitation technique (OMFT) and traditional oral motor exercises on drooling and feeding skills of children with spastic CP. OMFT is a complete protocol with a combination of techniques to deal with oral motor difficulties This study will be a randomized control trial. A total number of 12 children with Spastic cerebral palsy ( GMFS III-V) both male/female, between age range 3-12 and with feeding difficulties will be included in the study. Children with cerebral palsy and other co morbidities, seizures, risk of aspiration and who are on tube feeding will be excluded. Participants will be randomly allocated to two groups, either Group A (receiving OMFT) or Group B (receiving traditional oral motor exercise). Baseline scores will be recorded by using standardized tools OMAS for oral motor skill during feeding and DIS for drool severity with the consent of authors. Therapeutic sessions will be scheduled 3 days per week and 30 min a day for each group. The effects of interventions on drooling and feeding skills will be assessed after 8 and 16 weeks of sessions. Recorded data of all variables will be analyzed by using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) for Windows Software, version 21.
