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.
The purpose of this study is to develop an interprofessional education and practice model for acute care related to dementia and evaluate its effectiveness of implementation.
Negative symptoms are an important factor in preventing patients from returning to the community, we aim to assess the effect of music therapy on negative symptoms through this study. Participants of integrated music therapy will receive instrument playing, singing, lyrics modification/music organized play, listening to music and discussing each treatment process. Other participants will receive passive music listening or regular occupational therapy during the experimental period. Psychiatric symptoms, quality of life, social and interactive skills, and the differences in the physiological signals produced by skin, muscles, and heart will be measured before, after, and two months after the music therapy.
This study is to detect the infertile couple (women) Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) profile in major subgroups such as Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, etc via age intervals and ethnic difference.
This study is an open-label randomized controlled trial of the efficacy of the integration of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine based on TCM syndrome differentiation. The hypothesis is (1) TCM model can identify the primary and secondary type burning mouth syndrome (BMS); (2) TCM model can identify BMS after treatment with western medicine; (3) There is a positive effect of TCM in treating BMS.
Many preclinical studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of intermittent fasting (IF) in a wide range of neurological and cardiovascular diseases. This pilot study aims to investigate the safety and compliance as well as efficacy of one specific IF intervention called time-restricted feeding (TRF; 16 hours fasting daily) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Using double-blind, randomized controlled design to compare the immediate, short-term and intermediate-term additional therapeutic effects of ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection and dextrose injection of hyaluronic acid injection on patients with knee osteoarthritis, under the basis of International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health.
Our study is intended to compare optimal muscle tension management or conventional anesthetic management in laparoscopic cholecystectomy about surgical condition during the surgery and other conditions after surgery at POR.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of acupuncture press needle in mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea patients.
This study evaluate the adequate dose of mutonpain for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the management of post operative pain. The investigators will randomize patients into three groups to compare the analgesia effects and side effects.
Background: Patients with decreased kidney function are in the positive acid balance due to insufficient renal acid excretion. To correct the varying degrees of metabolic acidosis in these HD patients, a high concentration of HCO3 in the dialysate is routinely used. During every 3-to-4 hours of HD treatment, a massive surge of HCO3 would enter the circulation and typically overcorrects predialysis acidosis to alkalosis and alkalemia. The sharp acid-base shift can cause some adverse consequences. The investigators believe that the rapid correction (or overcorrection) from the pre-dialysis metabolic acidosis to post-dialysis metabolic alkalosis during the 3-to-4 hours HD treatment would relate to adverse effects on HD patients. Thus the investigators conduct this study to prove the hypothesis that "prevention of post-dialysis alkalosis by using lower dialysate HCO3 concentration might cause less adverse outcomes in ESRD patients on HD." Study design: Prospective cross-over case-control study. Study population: A total of 60 patients who receive regular hemodialysis (three times per week) for more than 6 months in the regional teaching hospital.
