There are about 515 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Tunisia. 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.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is part of a multidisciplinary therapeutic management of infant autism including psychotherapy, drug treatment and other therapeutics (speech therapy, occupational therapy restrictive diet ...). It has been postulated that children with autism may benefit from HBOT due to the potential increase in cerebral perfusion occurring during treatment. In fact, inhaling oxygen above atmospheric pressure could cause an increase in the arterial partial pressure of oxygen, leading to increased oxygen supply to the brain. HBO may also have anti-inflammatory properties due to the reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor -α, interferon-γ and interleukins1 and 6). In addition, HBOT could improve mitochondrial dysfunction effects, as well as upregulate the production of antioxidant enzymes.Thus, hyperbaric oxygen therapy could be tried among the therapeutic arsenal of adjuvant treatments for autism.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the appropriateness of prescribing additional tests in the emergency unit of the University Hospital of Monastir.
A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of IMR-687 in Subjects with Beta Thalassemia
This study investigates the efficay and tolerance of 5-days course of hydroxychloroquine or hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin of patients with COVID-19 infection. The investigators will undertake a randomized, double-blind, controlled Trial in the region of Sousse Tunisia
This is a study in adolescents and adults with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP). People between 12 and 75 years old can take part in the study. The study is open to people who had GPP flare-ups in the past but whose skin is clear or almost clear when they join the study. The purpose of the study is to test 3 different doses of a medicine called spesolimab and to see whether it helps to prevent GPP flare-ups. Participants are put into 4 groups by chance. Three groups get different doses of spesolimab. The fourth group gets a placebo. Placebo looks like spesolimab but does not contain any medicine. Spesolimab and placebo are given as an injection under the skin. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 15 times. For the first 11 months, participants get spesolimab or placebo injections every month. At the study visits, the doctors check participants' skin for signs of a new GPP flare-up. The doctors also check the general health of the participants. If a participant has a GPP flare-up during the study, more visits may be necessary. In case of a flare-up, participants get a dose of spesolimab as an infusion into a vein.
Randomized, controlled, prospective trial, including ICU patients with Sepsis or septic Shock, at the early phase. patients will be randomized in 2 groups regarding the hemodynamic management and catecholamin doses: - Group 1: standard hemodynamic goals and catecholamin infusion to achieve: mean arterial pressure > or equal to 65 mmHg and diastolic arterial pressure > ou equal to 50 mmHg within the first 60 minutes. - Group 2: personalized hemodynamic goals and catecholamin infusion until normal transcranial doppler: IP<1,2.
Covid-19 In Tunisia: AN Observational Cross-Sectional Registry Study
A multicenter randomized clinical trial aiming to assess the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine associated to Zinc compared to hydroxychloroquine, in the prevention of Military Health Professionals Exposed to SARS CoV2 in Tunisia
Purpose: To compare efficiency and tolerance between topical 0.5% cyclosporine A and fluorometholone in patients with subepithelial corneal infiltrates (SEIs). Methods : A prospective double-blind randomized study was conducted involving 72 eyes, 38 treated with topical fluorometholone and 34 eyes treated with cyclosporine A 0.5% eyedrops, having SEIs. Treatment was considered successful if there was reduction of SEIs and improvement in visual acuity (two snellen lines). Tolerance was mainly evaluated by Schirmer test, conjunctival hyperemia and burning sensation upon eyedrops instillation.
