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.
Validation of Resilience Models about Cancer in Adolescence and Youth in Taiwan
A prospective study was conducted on 84 CSVD patients with dysphagia and cognitive impairment. They were divided into the comparison group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy, while the patients in the observation group were given SGB. The swallowing function, cognitive function and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated by Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Mini-mental state examination and modified Barthel index.
This study seeks to enlist healthy volunteers to form a validation cohort. The purpose is to confirm the observed correlations between the gut microbiome and the capacity to produce trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which will be assessed using the oral carnitine challenge test (OCCT).
Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD) is a nonneoplastic disease characterized by fibro-osseous lesions in the affected bones. Treatment is mainly surgical and is stratified based on four different anatomical zones. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and refine the algorithm for CFD.
Background: Child and adolescent abuse and neglect (CAAN) cases are increasing both in Taiwan and worldwide. As the first healthcare professionals who come in contact with CAAN cases, nurses play a crucial role. Studies show that the lack of professional knowledge and ability of nursing staff on CAAN affects the effectiveness of timely identification and notification. Therefore, it is extremely important to improve the knowledge and ability of nursing staff to assess and report CAAN. With advancements in technology, continuing education for nurses is now more extensive than traditional lecture teaching. Online education, which breaks down the barriers of time and space in learning, has thrived after the COVID-19 pandemic. Chatbots are an option for individual learning and can increase accessibility and convenience for nurses learning how to recognize and report CAAN. Objective: The aims of the study are to evaluate the effectiveness of using chatbots as teaching aids to assist nursing personnel in preventing child abuse. This evaluation will be the impact of learning on CAAN competency. Method: The study utilizes an experimental design in which participants are purposively sampled and subsequently randomized into either the experimental or control group. The experimental group will use "chatbot" to facilitate teaching. The control group only receives lecture-based teaching. The course content is comprised of two main subjects: "CAAN" and "Nurses' Roles and Functions in CAAN," which was developed using the ADDIE model. The study employs the CAAN Knowledge and Competency Scale which retrieves from the Child abuse report intention scale (CARIS) by Feng and Wu (2005). Additionally, the learning effect is assessed at three different time points: before the course, one week after, and four weeks after. Expected Results: The study predicts that the learning effects of the experimental group, which used chatbots, will be better than those of the control group. It is expected that these results will be able to implement in various educational fields, including CAAN and interdisciplinary teams.
Direct comparison study between previous LASIK or non-LASIK cataract eyes, the performance between non-LASIK and LASIK patients were (i) Ophthalmic examinations: UDVA, CDVA and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) (40cm) and (ii) Refractive prediction error: defined as difference between postoperative sphere and target refraction.
explore the correlation of accurate implementation of APAM and pressure injury prevalence
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are common for women. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was applied for wound healing, but there was no study regarding treatment effect of GSM and SUI. This retrospective study aims to assess the efficacy of LLLT in alleviating GSM and SUI.
The goal of this quasi-experienmental study is to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based intervention in the level of uncertainty and anxiety, and determintation towards hospital admission among pregnant women. The main questions : • Do pregnant women in intervention group reduce anxiety and uncertainty? • Do pregnant women in intervention group increase self-determintation ability towards hospital admission? Women in the intervention group participated 4 weeks mindfulness-based intervention online courses, Researchers have seen effectiveness of mindfulness-based intervention in the level of uncertainty, anxiety, and determintation towards hospital admission among pregnant women.
Objective: obesity is an important risk factor of chronic diseases, which not only threatens people's health, but also an important topic of public health. The purpose of this study is to define obesity according to the norms of the World Health Organization, and to explore whether combined weight loss methods have an impact on weight loss. Methods: In this study, Combined treatment of abdominal acupoint catgut embedding was combined with auricular pellet acupressure, The wire used for catgut embedding in the experiment was polydioxanone (PDO) 。 This experiment was divided into two groups: the experimental group A and the control group B 。 The reference measurement basis is the data obtained by "Inbody" instrument, including height and weight, body mass index (BMI), basic metallic rate (BMR), Body Fat Percentage BFP) , waist hip ratio and the data of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) obtained from biochemical blood examination, through the comparison before and after the test, we can judge whether the method of this test can achieve a certain degree of curative effect on weight loss.
