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.
Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of hospitalization ,rehospitalization and mortality for adults over 65 years of age. This study aimed to assess mortality, and hospitalization rates at 30 days and one year after dicharge of patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) compared to HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
This is a Phase 2 open-label, single-arm design study with dose escalation by subject cohort . The study is designed to monitor the PTG-300 safety profile, to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy of PTG-300 for the treatment in β-thalassemia.
Prospective, observational, monocentric, non-interventional study.
ATERA Survey is a national cross sectional observational study, aiming to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and other conventional risk factors for CHD (Coronary Heart Disease), the relationship between environmental and lifestyle factors with dyslipidemia, the perception and the knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors by the population, and above all, to strengthen the national strategy for primary and secondary prevention against coronary heart disease.
BINAR is an open and multicentric Tunisian national registry performed by nearly 100 rheumatologists
To evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of spesolimab (BI 655130) compared to placebo in patients with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) presenting with an acute flare of moderate to severe intensity.
Breast cancer surgery is one of the most common surgeries, due to the high incidence of breast cancer. Unfortunately, patients experience significant postoperative acute pain, placing them at risk for increased clinical morbidity and the development of disabling chronic pain which may rich up to 55% . The intensity of perioperative pain experienced by the patient is one of the best predictors of chronic pain. However, postoperative analgesia in breast cancer surgery is difficult due to the extensive nature of the surgery and the complex innervation of the breast. Several newly described regional anesthesia techniques exist to control perioperative pain, including the Paravertebral block (PVB) which has been proved to be the most effective one. The anatomic proximity of the pleura and central neuraxial system makes it a particularly challenging technique and carrying a risk of pneumothorax. The Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is a novel interfascial plane block described by Forero et al in September 2016. Local anesthetic injection is performed beneath the erector spinae muscle. Local anesthetic (LA) expected to achieve paravertebral spread of three vertebral levels cranially and four levels caudally, blocking the dorsal and ventral rami of the spinal nerves.The easy, fast and safe execution of ESPB makes it a promising technique in the context of surgical pain during breast cancer surgery. There is no sufficient randomized controlled trials that assess the effectiveness of ESPB in controlling post-operative breast surgery pain. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of Ultrasound-guided ESPB in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.
The objective is to compare efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with gemcitabine to placebo in combination with gemcitabine, in treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer and who have pain related to the disease.
Cardiac arrythmias are the most common cardiac complications after thoracic surgery. They are made primarily of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). They are associated with an increased risk of stroke, increased length of hospital stay and cost of care, and increased long-term mortality. Randomized , single-blind prospective study in the anesthesia and intensive care department of Abderrahmen Mami hospital Ariana Tunisia comparing the efficacy of Diltiazem versus Celiprolol in the prevention of postoperative cardiac arrythmias in patients proposed for pneumonectomy and bilobectomy.
In the last decades cesarean section rates are getting higher in many countries. The rise in those rates encourages obstetricians to improve operative techniques for a better maternal and fetal outcome. Despite its worldwide spread, a general consensus on the most appropriate technique to use has not yet been reached. The most known surgical technique is the MLC . A modified extraperitoneal method of caesarean section :" French Ambulatory Cesarean Section ( FAUCS) was described in the middle of the 90's by "Denis Fauck" and "Jacques Henri Ravina " However, no study comparing these two cesarean techniques was conducted. From where the investigators initiate this study .
