The registry focuses on patients with venous thromboembolism VTE, including those often excluded from typical clinical trials such as pregnant women, elderly patients, and those with serious health conditions. It aims to improve medical knowledge and patient care by collecting detailed data on these patients clinical status and treatment outcomes. The project also seeks to develop predictive scores to identify patients at higher risk of complications from thromboembolic disease. This observational registry collects extensive information on patients diagnosed with VTE, including details on coexisting conditions, antithrombotic treatment type, dose, and duration, as well as outcomes during the first three months of therapy. It captures data on VTE recurrences, bleeding complications, and deaths, providing insights into real-world treatment and patient management. Participants provide informed consent and are followed for at least three months to monitor clinical outcomes. The registry supports physicians by giving access to data on patients with similar profiles to help manage complex cases. The main outcomes measured include VTE events and complications over a three-year period, supporting ongoing improvements in patient care and risk assessment.

Researchers are evaluating how robotic training compares to conventional rehabilitation for patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, also known as frozen shoulder. This study explores how new technologies like robotics and virtual reality might improve functional recovery and brain reorganization during rehabilitation. The trial aims to better understand the benefits of these approaches for restoring shoulder function and reducing pain. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives robotic training that includes continuous passive mobilization and therapy using the Armeo Spring device, while the other group undergoes standard rehabilitation sessions with a physiotherapist. Both treatments focus on improving shoulder movement and autonomy. The study does not use any masking or blinding methods. During the study, participants will have their shoulder function measured using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index SPADI at multiple time points up to 12 months. Pain levels and active and passive range of motion will also be assessed regularly. This allows researchers to monitor progress and compare outcomes between the two rehabilitation methods. The total duration of participation may last about a year, with evaluations at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months.

Researchers are studying the quality of primary healthcare for patients with arterial hypertension in Morocco, focusing on the diseases prevalence, types, complications, and treatment personalization. This observational cohort study aims to improve understanding and management of hypertension by comparing current data with past results and other North African countries. The study highlights key aspects like timely care, accessibility, and adherence to clinical guidelines. The study uses a remote electronic registry to collect anonymous medical data from both primary care and hospital settings. Trained investigators will standardize blood pressure measurements to reduce errors. Data gathered will include clinical details, treatments, complications, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure readings using validated devices or ambulatory monitoring, and metabolic assessments such as blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Cardiovascular complications will also be tracked. The follow-up period targets one year to observe complications related to hypertension. Participants aged 18 and older with diagnosed hypertension will provide informed consent before inclusion. Researchers will analyze the prevalence and geographic spread of hypertension, its various types, and associated complications at the study start. Data collection includes physical measurements, laboratory tests, and complication records. The study will compare findings to previous years and other countries to identify care gaps and progress. The total participation spans from initial inclusion through a one-year follow-up to monitor outcomes and inform better prevention and treatment strategies.

Researchers are investigating whether adding lumbopelvic postural rehabilitation to pelvic floor muscle training PFMT improves urinary incontinence symptoms in women compared to PFMT alone. The study focuses on women aged 18 to 65 with urinary incontinence, assessing changes in symptom severity, pelvic floor muscle strength, patient-reported improvement, and quality of life. This clinical trial is randomized and evaluates the effectiveness of combining two rehabilitation approaches in managing urinary incontinence. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for 12 weeks. The experimental group receives PFMT three times per week along with two weekly sessions of lumbopelvic postural rehabilitation using posturography, which includes stability and mobility exercises for the lumbopelvic area. The control group performs PFMT alone three times per week, including supervised sessions at the hospital and home exercises, focusing on pelvic floor muscle contractions in different positions. During the study, researchers will assess outcomes at the start, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Measurements include the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire for urinary incontinence severity, pelvic floor muscle strength, urinary symptom profiles, patient global impression of improvement, and quality of life impact questionnaires. The study includes supervised and home-based training, with monitoring of symptom changes and muscle strength to evaluate treatment effects over the 12-week period.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and are increasing in prevalence in Morocco. Researchers are conducting a 10-year follow-up study of adults aged 40 and older who were screened for cardiovascular risk between 2010 and 2012 by the All with heart Association in the Greater Casablanca region. The study aims to evaluate long-term cardiovascular outcomes and develop a risk score specific to the Moroccan population to improve prevention and patient care. This observational study involves following participants who were part of the initial screening campaign, with no interventions applied. Data on cardiovascular events such as deaths, heart attacks, and strokes will be collected through phone calls, WhatsApp, or SMS with participants or their families. Statistical analyses will be used to identify key risk factors and create a predictive model tailored to Morocco. Participants will be contacted periodically to gather follow-up information on their cardiovascular health. The study will measure the incidence of major and minor cardiovascular events over ten years and work on validating a Morocco-specific cardiovascular risk score. The total participation duration is 10 years, with data collection relying on remote communication methods. Safety monitoring includes tracking cardiovascular-related outcomes and deaths.
