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.
In the development of sepsis treatment of recent years, the demand for medical manpower has increased significantly when patients with sepsis appear because of the expansion of medical care demand and shortened response time related to sepsis Due to the shortage of manpower, a more simple and easy-to-operate inspection method is adopted and artificial intelligence technology is used to assist in the evaluation. The applicability of physiological indicators MEWS and qSOFA as sepsis screening tools in emergency department (ED) and predicting sepsis outcome in the emergency department. When patients with sepsis appear, artificial intelligence technology is used to remind the physicians to respond and administer drugs as soon as possible. This is a single-center retrospective study of a group of patients admitted to the emergency department. The medical records were reviewed, mainly based on the hospital site records and the existing vital signs of the patients. Attended a hospital emergency room between January 2020 and December 2022. Physiological numerical indicators MEWS and qSOFA were all scored to understand the distribution of sepsis.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 12-week VR fitness intervention on the functional fitness of adults of different age ranges.
The research purpose is to investigate the effectiveness of empathy training program for nurses, as well as to investigate the effectiveness of learning satisfaction for nurses and the empathy training program learning subjective experience of nurses.The quantitative method is the experimental research method using randomization. The nurses receiving the intervention of empathy training program are in the experimental group, while those who do not receive it are in the control group.
The research topic is to explore the effectiveness of abdominal breathing on improving of sleep quality and physiological index (heart rate, respiration rate and blood pressure) among patients with insomnia. This study method adopts the research design of experimental randomized controlled trials. The persons receiving the intervention of abdominal breathing training are in the experimental group, while those who do not receive it are in the control group.
Intra-abdominal adhesion occurs in up to 90% of patients after abdominal surgery. Many patient will undergo a second surgery for temporary stoma closure, therefore these ostomy closure operations can give an opportunity to evaluate adhesion caused by previous operations. This study was conducted to use second surgery to investigate the anti-adhesion effect of purified starch among patients who underwent colorectal surgery.
Purposes: The purpose of one-year project is to compare the effect of different intrasession exercise order of AE and RE during concurrent training on reducing VAT and improving insulin resistance for inactive middle-age community residents with obesity. Methods: Purposive sampling will be used to enroll community residents aged 40-64 years with inactive habit and body fat percentage ≧ 25% for male and ≧ 30% for female in southern Taiwan. Eligible participants will be stratified by sex and age (40-55years and 56-64 years) then block randomly divided into training group of AE preceding RE, RE preceding AE or a control group. The exercise training program will under supervision lasting 16 weeks with 3 times per week. The concurrent training prescription consist of AE 30 minutes and RE 15 minutes per session. A 5-minute interval between two exercise modalities. All participants will be evaluated outcomes for two time points including baseline (T0) and after 16-week intervention (T1). The primary outcomes are VAT and insulin resistance. A two-way ANOVA with repeated measures will be performed to compare changes of outcome variables over the intervention period. Relevance to clinical practice: The results of this project can assist health professionals to know how to properly prescribe concurrent training of AE and RE to achieve the greatest effects on VATreduction and insulin resistance improvement for middle-age residents with obesity.
This study was to develop and evaluate the self-efficacy and resilience of the Breast Cancer Self-Care App in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The research is to explore the effect of acupressure on uremic pruritus and sleep quality among patients receiving hemodialysis. The research method adopts the experimental research method using randomization. The patients receiving the intervention of acupressure are in the experimental group, while those who do not receive it are in the control group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate Fu's Subcutaneous Needling (FSN) in postoperative pain in patients with Lumbar Spine Surgery (LSS). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is FSN effective for postoperative pain? - Dose FSN decrease the tissue hardness after LSS? - Dose FSN have the effect of anti-inflammatory after LSS? Participants will receive routine analgesic and FSN after LSS. Researchers will compare Sham group to see if FSN being effective for postoperative pain.
Anorectal surgery includes pilonidal sinus, hemorrhoidectomy, anal fissure, and anal fistula operations. General and spinal anesthesia were common anesthetic methods in anorectal surgery. We designed this study to test the hypothesis that general anesthesia was superior than spinal anesthesia with respect to urine retention rate, pain score, recovery time, and side effects.
