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.
Study focuses on comparing the effects of manual scar mobilization and myofascial cupping techniques on the outcomes of pain, physical characteristics, and appearance of cesarean scars. The study aims to contribute valuable insights into tailored interventions for improving cesarean scars. The randomized clinical trial will involve 52 participants, primigravida women aged 20 to 40 with completely healed but painful cesarean scars. Excluding those with previous scar therapy or infectious scars, the participants will be divided into two groups, with Group A receiving manual scar mobilization therapy and Group B receiving myofascial cupping therapy, both administered twice a week for four weeks. Pain assessment will be conducted using a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), while physical characteristics and appearance will be evaluated using the Manchester Scar Scale for cesarean scars (MSS). The data collected will be analyzed using SPSS version 29.
This study will be a randomized clinical trial in which Slider versus Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization will be applied on the individuals with cerviculorediculopathy and changes will be recorded using different methods and tools. Convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 40 patients will be recruited. Patients will be randomly allocated into two different groups through sealed envelope method.20 patients will be allocated in each group A will be treated with Slider Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique; Group B will be treated with Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique .Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI) and goniometer will be used as Data collecting tools. After data collection from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed.
In this study i will see the effects of kinesthetic exercises and sensory motor training on pain and range of motion in patients with knee OA.
Lumber radiculopathy, also known as sciatica, is a condition that causes pain in the lower back and legs due to irritation or compression of the spinal nerves. group between 20 and 50 years old. This study will explore the effects of lumbar spine mobilization with leg movement and spinal traction with and without belt in patients with pain and functional limitations due to lumbar radiculopathy. A randomized control trial will be conducted at Atta Jaspal Hospital and Trauma Center through convenient sampling technique on 44 patients, which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque envelopes into groups A and B. Group A will be treated with SMWLM, conventional electrotherapy, and traction without a belt, and Group B will be treated with SMWL, conventional electrotherapy, and lumbar traction with a belt. A pretreatment baseline will be set for pain, ROM, and disability at the lumbar spine by using the NPRS, inclinometer, and ODI questioner. Follow-up will be conducted after 4 weeks of post-treatment sessions. The intensity of pain, range of motion, and disability index will be evaluated using the NPRS, inclinometer, and ODI questionnaire. The data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 26. The conclusion of the study will be based on either accepting or rejecting the null and alternate hypotheses.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Riphah International University QIE Campus in Lahore, using non-probability convenience sampling with 28 participants. Criteria include women aged 14-26, nulliparous, experiencing primary dysmenorrhea, with normal menstrual cycles and the ability to exercise independently. Group A will receive kegel exercises and 4-7-8 breathing techniques over 8 weeks, while Group B will only receive the breathing technique. Assessments will be done on menstrual cycle days, with follow-ups at weeks 4 and 8 using specific scales. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 27.
this study will be conducted involving patients of all genders between the ages of 20 and 60 years who will undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for uncomplicated symptomatic gallstone disease. The study will be conducted in Department of West Surgical Ward, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, after receiving approval from the hospital's Ethical Committee. Patients having other co-morbid conditions, pregnant patients, and those undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy converted to open surgery will be excluded from the study. LFTs and other baseline investigations will be done routinely of every patient. Written informed consent will be obtained from all the patient. Patients will be divided into two groups with 30 patients in each group. Group A will consist of patient in whom ERAS protocol will be implemented and Group B in whom ERAS protocol will not be implemented.
Background and Objectives To compare the efficacy of gel foam-soaked pyodine with a single topical application of clotrimazole ointment. Subjects and Methods This randomized controlled trial will include 90 patients presenting to ENT OPD with complaints of earache, watery ear discharge, pruritis, and ear blockage and will be clinically diagnosed as a case of otomycosis on otoscopy. The external auditory canal of the patient will be cleared of fungal debris via suction before treatment In Group A ear canal will be filled with 1% clotrimazole ointment by using an IV catheter and syringe and in Group B pyodine-soaked gel foam will be placed in the external auditory canal. The patients will be followed up on post-treatment days 7 and 14.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Kangaroo Mother care can have effect on oxidative stress in premature neonates. It will also learn about the bonding between mother and her premature infant. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Kangaroo mother care lower the biomarker of oxidative stress in premature neonates? - Is Kangaroo mother care associated with mother-infant bonding? Researchers will compare Kangaroo mother care to Conventional incubator care to see if Kangaroo mother care works to have effect on oxidative stress. Participants will be: - given Kangaroo mother care on third day of life or standard incubator care for one hour - Urine sample for oxidative stress biomarker will be collected via noninvasive method before and after Kangaroo mother care or conventional incubator care from premature neonates. - Mother-infant bonding scale will be filled by mothers of enrolled premature infants before and after kangaroo mother care and conventional incubator care
Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis is a painful condition that requires anesthesia to perform effective dental procedures. The mental nerve block and inferior alveolar nerve block are two commonly used techniques for achieving anesthesia in the mandibular teeth. Study design: This randomized clinical trial study Number of participants: 96 participants which will be randomly divided into two groups: MINB and IANB. Inclusion criteria: Participants with mandibular premolars or lower anterior experiencing sharp and persistent pain in response to thermal stimuli and an electric pulp tester, as well as bleeding during access opening, will be included. Exclusion criteria: Participants with a medical history, allergies or contraindications to the local anesthetic, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those taking pain-affecting medication, or those experiencing pain in more than one tooth will be excluded. Both techniques will use 2% lidocaine and adrenaline 1:80,000. Age, gender, and the efficacy of anesthesia will be recorded in both groups. The chi-square test will be used for comparison.
OSF is a widespread health issue in Asian countries, notably Pakistan, linked to the consumption of pan, chalia, and gutka, affecting a rising number of young individuals as an epidemic. This condition significantly impairs oral function, resulting in ulcers and chronic lesions, often progressing to oral cancer. Current treatments focus on symptom relief and halting disease progression. This study explores the repurposing of metformin, an FDA-approved drug with antifibrotic properties, for OSF treatment. Our objective is to unveil its therapeutic potential and comprehend its impact on the dysregulated signaling pathways associated with OSF. This research offers promising insights for an enhanced management approach, providing hope for those grappling with this debilitating condition
