Randomized controlled trial

identified area, and grants that are awarded in the area of scholarship. Each design is comes with its own set of values depending on the standards that were used to conduct the research. Experimental studies such as RCT (well designed randomized controlled trials) as well as, meta-analysis of experimental (RCT) and quasi-experimental studies, provide the strongest research evidence and can have the biggest impact on changing practice (Grove et al., 2015). In the research conducted on breast…

Research Design The research design which was chosen for this research was the quantitative randomized controlled trial (RCT), which is used to reduce any bias in the research being conducted. Randomly selecting participants and reducing any bias allows the researchers to see how a treatment plan affects the group who is being treated and compare the results to the comparison group who is not receiving any treatment (Kampf, Löffler, & Gastmeier, 2009). The intervention and comparison group will…

Otago. Otago is an exercise program that involves improving strength, balance and gait. The program involves 17 exercises that vary in difficulty. The exercises include shoulder rolls, marching in place, calf raises, knee bends, sit to stand, calf stretches and other similar exercises. The exercises can also be increased in difficulty by adding weights. The first day of the program, the physical therapist assesses the patient for tolerance to exercise and adjusts the program and speed based…

more so just looking at the challenges of finding really reliable, strong, researchers in each of these fields, to come to the table and make this little area here where we have a deeper understanding that could actually be filtered in to a randomized control trial. Interviewer: Very good, that is all the questions. You made a kinetic drawing today and I am going to ask you three questions, and the third question actually has three parts. Can you describe all of the components of your picture,…

nalbuphine as adjuvant to spinal anaesthesia. To compare the three different doses and find out most optimum dose of nalbuphine with minimal side effects and maximum analgesic effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted prospective randomized double blinded controlled study with 120 ASA I and II patients who were undergoing lowerlimb orthopedic surgery under spinal anaesthesia. We randomly allocated four groups A,B,C to receive 0.4, 0.6,0.8 mg nalbuphine made up to 0.5 ml with distilled water…

The article I chose was “SmartStretch™ Technology. I. Improving the tenderness of sheep topsides (m. semimembranosus) using a meat stretching device” (Meat Science 91 (2012) 142-147). The goal of this experiment was to see whether SmartStretchtm can improve hot-boned mutton tenderness. SmartStretchtm is a device developed by Meat & Livestock Australia and Meat & Wool New Zealand with the goal of preventing the muscular contraction of a boneless piece of meat by stretching it The animals used in…

More than 65% of ovules were just enlarged without undergoing callus or shoot phase independent of the sucrose concentration. Rest of the ovules was either with no development or dead after 8 weeks of culture period. The effect of sucrose concentration on ovule response was not pronounced (Table 18). When comparing the suitability of sucrose concentrations (2% or 4%, 4% 0r 6%, 2% or 6%) for ovule culture depending on the genotype, there is no significant difference for both genotypes on whatever…

preventing postoperative pulmonary complications in adults undergoing CABG” (Freitas et al., 2012, p. 3). The authors performed a thorough and comprehensive search which yielded seven articles for final inclusion, all of which were randomised controlled trials (RCT). Next, the authors completed a meta-analysis of the appropriate studies for three outcomes and a narrative analysis for the remaining outcomes. Two of the review outcomes are directly related to the clinical question. Specifically,…

met the inclusion criteria were included and analyzed. In general, all six studies showed that music therapy is an effective treatment of depressive symptoms for older adults who are 65 years or older with or without dementia. Among four randomized control trials, three studies conducted music therapy was conducted in a group and depicted its effectiveness in the reduction of depression symptoms (Chu et al., 2014; Cooke et al., 2010, Mohammadi et al., 2011). There were two studies that used a…
