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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the wound healing in the participants who underwent the clean surgical procedure, by applying honey dressing and common Iodine solution dressing, participants will have no other co-morbidities like Diabetes, Anemia, etc. which can make the results biased. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do the iodine solutions are enough to counter the infections caused by resistant strains of bacteria? - What is the efficacy and efficiency of honey dressing in wound care? Participants will be tasked to - Ensure strict follow-up in the hospital dressing room - Half of the participants will apply common iodine solution dressing and the other half will be applied honey dressing. Researchers will compare Iodine dressing (Control group) with Honey dressing (Experimental group) to see if Honey dressing is better in the prevention of post-surgery wound infection and if it is cost-efficient and its efficacy.
The goal of this Randomized Control Trial is to compare the effects of addition of cisatracurium to lignocaine for IVRA Vs. Plain lignocaine in All ASA physical status I & II patients between 20 to 55 years of age, scheduled for elective hand surgery (carpal tunnel, trigger finger, tendon release, fracture reduction and tendon repair). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Does addition of Cisatracurium to plain lignocaine improve the overall quality of anesthesia? • Does use of cisatracurium lead to improved postop analgesia and decreased parenteral analgesic requirements? Participants will be Forty-four patients undergoing elective hand surgery during IVRA randomly assigned to two groups of 22 patients each. All demographic details (age, gender, body weight) will be noted, all will be briefed about visual analogue score (0 to 10) for pain. Group 1 (control group) will receive lidocaine 2% diluted with saline, group 2 (cisatracurium group) will receive cisatracurium plus lidocaine 2% diluted with saline. A standard technique would be employed for IVRA. The following parameters to be assessed: onset and offset of sensory and motor block, Intra-operative pain at 5, 10, 20, 30 minutes after tourniquet application by using visual analogue score (VAS), and postoperative pain using visual analogue score (VAS) measured at 5-minute,1, 2, 4, 8 hours postoperatively.
There is a lack of evidence on the clinical outcome of green light exposure, as it is the emerging, novel proposal of treatment. There are a lot of researches present with small sample size which should be done on large population. In last conducted studies, session numbers of the applied modality are less. There is no comparison of tDCS with green light for migraine. The literature suggested the neuromodulation influenced by these interventions that may result in reduction of migraine.
This study aims to find the effectiveness of Plyometric training on Physical fitness and Technical skills of young male volleyball players. Players would be taken from Prime Sports Academy and Prime Institute of Health Sciences, Islamabad and a well-designed Plyometric training plan will be implied on them for 8 weeks. After the time span, the result would be compared to check the effectiveness of the training plan.
The study aims to find the effectiveness of plyometric training on injury prevention of domestic cricket players. Players will be taken from Chakwal and a well designed plyometric plan will be implied on them for 8 weeks. After that the results will be compared with the other group who did not get any plyometric training to see the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
Patients were randomly divided into Dexmedetomidine or Ketofol for sedation. In patients who received Dexmedetomidine, a 2ml ampule of 100 ug/ml was diluted in 18 ml of normal saline, making a total volume of 20 ml. Patients received dexmedetomidine as a bolus over 10 minutes in a dose of 1ug/kg followed by an infusion at the rate of 0.5ug/kg/hr and it was labeled as "infusion 1". In the Ketofol group, 2 ml ketamine (50mg/ml) and 10 ml of propofol 1% (10mg/ml) were diluted in 8ml of normal saline. This mixture was 20 ml each, making 5mg/ml of ketamine and propofol. Patients received 1mg/kg over 10 minutes followed by 50ug/kg/min of infusion, labeled as "infusion 2".
to determine the supplementary effects of Kaltenborn sustained stretch mobilization when combined with resistance training in the management of knee osteoarthritis.
Investigators will conduct a pilot clinical trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a Suicide Prevention Package (SuPP) within an existing task-shifted depression intervention in rural Pakistan. This pilot research lays the groundwork for a future project to scale a package for multi-level suicide prevention strategies that can be integrated into community based mental health programs, particularly targeting individuals living in low-resourced settings. As the model is designed to be easily adapted and integrated, investigators anticipate the findings will be valuable for all researchers looking to improve population health and mental health services in disadvantaged settings.
1. Aim to investigate the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Depression, Stigmatization, Excessive Worries, and Emotional Management among Women Facing Partner Violence 2. To explore the effectiveness of CBT in managing depressive symptoms, stigma, worries, and emotional disturbance among women facing partner violence.
The goal of this interventional study is to check the efficacy of Erector Spinae block as Opioid Free Anesthesia for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a commonly performed day care procedure. Being a day care procedure the anesthetic technique employed should provide adequate analgesia, allow early mobilization of patient and should mitigate nausea and vomiting which occurs quite frequently in this surgical population. If these goals are achieved patients can be discharged early from hospital setting and this leads to overall cost benefits.
