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.
Mechanical low back pain arises intrinsically from the spine, intervertebral disc,or surrounding soft tissues.It is causes by muscular spasm, and other soft tissue injuries. The aim of the study will be to compare the effect of Egoscue versus Pilates exercises on pain, range of motion and muscle endurance in patient with mechanical low back pain.
Hamstring injuries are highly prevalent among cricket players, comprising 10% of all injuries in field-based team sports. Eccentric strength deficits and imbalances in muscle strength are linked to a higher risk of such injuries. Our randomized clinical trial aims to assess eccentric hamstring strength using eccentric banded leg curls and eccentric cable leg curl exercises, measured by the Nordbord device. This tool provides accurate measurements of eccentric hamstring strength, power, and endurance, crucial for injury prevention in athletes. Thirty-two male professional cricketers will participate, divided into two groups receiving different exercise plans. Each group will perform 15 reps in 3 sets with rest intervals, four times a week for four months. The Nordbord device will assess hamstring strength before and after the exercise plan. Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS V25, employing descriptive statistics for frequency distribution and inferential statistics such as t-tests to compare outcomes between treatment groups.

To determine the effects of manual diaphragmatic release technique (MDRT) versus chest wall expansion exercises on pulmonary function, chest wall expansion and asthma control in patients with asthma.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is non-progressive disorder, which undergoes mishap to the developing brain and it affects a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. Old name of CP is "Little's disease".Through social and community participation, children and youth with cerebral palsy (CP) form friendships, gain knowledge, learn skills, express creativity, and determine meaning and purpose in life. The purpose of this study is (1) to determine whether social and community participation of children and youth with CP differ based on age, sex, and gross motor function, and (2) to identify the types of activities in which social and community participation are highest
To determine the combined effects of 4-7-8 breathing technique and stationary cycle on physical performance, quality of life and dyspnea in post CABG patients.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder characterized by abnormal tone, posture and movement which are due to a non-progressive interference, lesion, or abnormality of the developing/immature brain . It is clinically categorized into four groups according to the predominant motor syndrome: extra-pyramidal or dys-kinetic, spastic quadriplegia and spastic diplegia. The purpose of this current study is to determine the effect of a selected task-oriented training on balance and functional mobility in children with cerebral palsy. This will be a randomized clinical trial, data will be collected from Elite Physio and Special children center from Faisalabad. Study will be conducted on 22 patients. Inclusion criteria of this study is children who can walk with or without walking aids from age between 6 to 12 years old. Cerebral palsy children who has any musculoskeletal deformity in any of two limb, visual auditory, perceptual and auditory deficits, seizures or epilepsy , having botulinum toxin injections will be excluded. Group A will be provided with task oriented exercise training on dynamic surface. Group B will be provided with task oriented exercise training on static surface.Pre and post session balance and functional mobility will be assessed by Time up and Go scale and Functional Mobility scale.
CP is a disorder of movement and posture due to damage to brain during early development of child. It is one of most common neurological related disorder in world. Its effect postural issue, motor and balance problem and seizures. In spastic cerebral palsy, life quality and gait disturb due to muscular stiffness. Shock wave therapy will be used, it works on electromagnetic principle. It reduce spasticity and improve life quality. This study explain the affectedness of electromagnetic shockwave on hamstring flexibility and shock wave in spastic cerebral palsy. Randomized controlled trial will be conducted on thirty-two cerebral palsy children in Punjab Special School. Spastic Diplegic CP children with GMFCs level III, IV, V with age range of 6 to 12. These children have limited range of hamstring muscles.. Assessment will be measured Pre and Post treatment by goniometer of crouched gait in standing and lying on couch. Crouched gait will be measured by Knee flexion in standing and lying. To measure hamstring flexibility ROM of knee extension is measured with 90 flexion at hip joint. Spasticity in this study will assessed by GMFM-88 and modified ashworth scale.
The upper brachial plexus, a network of nerves in the neck and shoulder, is affected by Erb's palsy, often referred to as Erb-Duchenne palsy. This syndrome usually arises after labor, particularly if the baby's head and neck are pulled or stretched excessively during delivery. Erb's palsy can cause the hand and arm on the afflicted side of the body to become paralyzed or feeble. Erb's palsy symptoms can include: restricted range of motion in the injured arm. weakened hand and arm in the afflicted area, loss of feeling in the hand or arm. The effected arm is in "waiter's tip" position in which the elbow is bent and the wrist is flexed. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of modified constraint-induced movement therapy in children with erb's palsy, both with and without kinesiotaping. Convenient sampling will be the method of sampling, and the study design will be randomized control trial. There will be two groups created with n = 40 subjects each. Twenty participants will be divided into two groups: twenty for each group will receive modified constraint-induced movement therapy plus kinesiotaping, while twenty for the other group will receive modified constraint-induced movement therapy alone. The youngsters will be evaluated using the Active Movement Scale.Both at the program's baseline and after the intervention is over, data will be gathered. The course of treatment will run for eight weeks straight, meeting three times a week for an hour each time. Based on inclusion criteria, subjects from Ayesha Amir Memorial Hospital and Children Hospital Faisalabad will be chosen. Data analysis will be done using SPSS 25.00.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a syndrome caused by a non-progressive lesion in the developing brain. Spastic diplegia cerebral palsy is a form of cerebral palsy, permanently affects muscle control and coordination. Symptoms include increased muscle tone which leads to spasticity (stiff or tight muscles and exaggerated reflexes) in the legs. Physiotherapist will come across many children with disability and it's a daily routine that providing treatment and educating parents regarding the treatment and ask them to continue at home. Family centered home program for children with disability plays a major role in their improvement. By educating and creating awareness among mother's, it can really do justice for the recovery of differently abled children. This will be a randomized control trial. Study will be conducted on 24 patients. Inclusion criteria of this study is mothers of spastic cerebral palsy children (Diplegic), Age 6-12 years, with GMFCS level II & III and mothers who are willing to spend time in giving home program and give feedback every day and should maintain continuity coming to the department. Mothers of Cerebral palsy (diplegic) children will be excluded if the children are suffering with fixed deformities and with recent surgeries involving spine and limbs. Working females more than 5 working hours are also excluded. Participants will be divided randomly into two groups. In group A, Participants will be educated thoroughly about treatment plan which includes routine neuro physical therapy aiming (Gross Motor Function & Balance). A class will be organized to educate Mothers/ Caregivers through PPT presentation, video and pictures. In group B, participants will not be educated about treatment plan, routine home plan was given once in a week. Intervention will be given for 8 weeks, 5 days a week for 45 minutes. Pre and post session Gross motor function by GMFM, balance by PBS, Quality of life by CP-QOL and parental stress by PSI will be measured.
