There are about 10560 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Taiwan. 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.
This prospective randomized trial evaluated the effect of music interventions on anxiety and nervousness during 10 consecutive days in individuals undergoing their first radiation therapy session.
Investigators tried to evaluate the efficacy and safety of xylitol nasal irrigation as an adjuvant therapy after FESS, particularly the influence of nasal irrigation on Eustachian tube function.
During COVID-19 panic, we examined if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal uncertainty, anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more after education, and until the day of discharge. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more on the discharge day if their child had surgical or post-surgical complications.
From Feb 2022 to Nov 2022, we undertook a single-center prospective randomized trial involving 100 children with cast-immobilized stable upper limb fractures. These patients were randomized into either biobased polyester or synthetic fiberglass groups. All patients were regularly followed up till the cast removal which occurred approximately 3-4 weeks after immobilizing. Objective clinical findings and subjective patient questionnaire were all collected and analyzed.
In the high-stakes battle against ischemic cerebrovascular disease, where every second counts and the margin for error is slim, how do the investigators tip the scales in favor of patient survival and improved outcomes? This groundbreaking study, the first nationwide, population-based analysis with long-term follow-up in an Asian context, dives deep into this critical question. Leveraging an expansive dataset from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, the investigators scrutinize the efficacy and risks of aggressive surgical interventions-specifically, EC-IC bypass, CEA, and CAS-in a cohort of over 84,000 patients. This paper serves as a milestone, bridging the gap between medical idealism and clinical reality. It calls for a surgical renaissance, emphasizing the need for refining techniques and enhancing patient selection protocols. If participants're looking for a comprehensive, nuanced, and, above all, actionable insight into the surgical treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, this is the study that could redefine the paradigm.
To explore the correlations between spiritual well-being, self compassion, physical symptoms distress and demoralization among hemodialysis patients

The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Increased physical performance. - Reduced the physical restraint. - Reduced fall accidents. Participants will accept the comprehension Exercise Intervention combined with protein supplementation or not.
Weaning from mechanical ventilator is essential to liberate patients to normal life. Prolong weaning is defined as failure of 3 times spontaneous breath trial (SBT) and requiring more than 7 days weaning from mechanical ventilation after first SBT. higher unsuccessful rate of extubation and higher mortality rate. Possible reasons to cause prolong weaning could be attributed to intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICU-AW) and poor lung hygiene. In order to solve these two problems and increase the weaning rate, early mobilization (EM) and chest physiotherapy (CPT) are considered as possible strategy to attain the goal. According to previous articles, lacking of control group and small sample size made it difficult to confirm the true effect of EM and CPT on prolong weaning patients. Thus, the aims of this articles are discussing the influence from EM with CPT on weaning rate and other hospitalization outcomes with larger sample sizes and control group.
To assess the impact of preoperative sarcopenia and postoperative skeletal muscle wasting on the outcomes of patients with resectable pancreatic cancer who underwent pancreatectomy.
This study may discover that supplementing with probiotics LY-66, PL-02 can promote exercise endurance, explosive power and reduce muscle inflammation index in healthy people.
