There are about 6915 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Austria. 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.
Endometriosis on the bowel is a benign condition that can cause major complaints and severely affect the quality of life of women of fertile age. If medical treatment is not enough to improve pain and/or other symptoms it may be necessary to undergo major surgical treatment and removal of the endometriosis nodule on the bowel. Such extensive surgical treatment carries risks of serious complications. Therefore, a thorough diagnostic work-up before surgery is important to know the extent of disease. This will provide women with the best possible information and for the surgeon to plan the operation. The risk of complications increases as the bowel endometriosis is localized closer to the anus as well and/or if the bowel nodule is large. The distance between the anus and the nodule and the size of the nodule can be measured with two dimensional (2D) vaginal ultrasound. Additionally, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also used in some countries for these same measurements. Our study would like to investigate the diagnostic value of 2D ultrasound and MRI as well as learn more about women's quality of life before and after surgery. The investigators have designed the study to evaluate the following three questions into three studies ENDO1, ENDO2 and ENDO3: - ENDO1: How good is 2D transvaginal ultrasound at measuring the size of the bowel endometriosis nodule and the distance between anus and the lower part of the bowel nodule compared to measurements done during surgery? - ENDO2: What is the quality of life, sexual and bowel function of women before and 3- and 12-months after surgery due to bowel endometriosis? Questionnaires will be used. - ENDO3: How good is 2D transvaginal ultrasound at measuring the size of the bowel endometriosis nodule compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and measurements done during surgery?
It is anticipated that Audio-Visual-Perception-Enhancement (AVWF®) method leads to pain reduction and a decrease of inflammatory markers in chronic pain patients. Also an improvement of quality of life, self-perceived disability and depression in chronic pain patients is expected.
This project will investigate changes in cognitive function in the early postoperative phase (<24 hours) after minor surgery in patients of older age (≥65 years).
The study is a prospective-observational, explorative single-centre cohort study aimed to examine the influence of the peripheral atherosclerotic plaque volume on short and long term morbidity and mortality in patient after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Atherosclerotic disease (IMT, plaque volume) will be measured with a ultrasound system (IMT measurements and 3D quantitative plaque volumetric). Hemodynamic and flow profiles of the internal thoracic arteries will be evaluated additionally with US. These parameters will be measured pre-CABG. Morbidity will be evaluated using quality of life questionnaires (EQ-5D-3L, IPAQ). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) will be the primary endpoint. The atherosclerotic burden will be compared with established risk scores (EuroSCORE, STS-Score, SYNTAX Score, FORECAST.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib given orally is safe and effective in participants with JIA from 2 years to less than 18 years old.
This is an open-label extension study for participants of the randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, enriched enrolment randomized withdrawal NMS-Nab Study, assessing the long-term safety and efficacy of nabilone for non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson´s Disease (PD). Nabilone is an analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis. Nabilone acts as a partial agonist on both Cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and Cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor in humans and therefore mimics the effect of THC but with more predictable side effects and less euphoria. Eligible patients will be re-tapered in an open-label nabilone dose optimization phase followed by an open-label period of 6 months on a stable nabilone dose.
The aim of the study is to assess the immediate effects of passive hip joint mobilisation (in comparison to a sham mobilisation) on eccentric hip abductor/external rotator muscle strength on the basis of manual muscle testing with a hand-held-dynamometer within a double-blinded cross-over study design. Patients with anterior knee pain and signs of impaired hip function will be recruited in Vienna and surrounding area, measurements/data collection will be conducted by two experienced physiotherapists in a physiotherapy group practice in 1150 Vienna.
This pro - and retrospective multicenter clinical epidemiological study studies the molecular genetic, host-derived and clinical determinants of glioblastoma patients with an overall survival of more than 5 years. The different research focusses are: - Identification of clinical parameters and patient characteristics / host-related factors in long-term survivors (Focus 1) - Identification of molecular tumor characteristics in long-term survivors (Focus 2) - Assessment of therapy-related parameters, including neuro-toxicity (Focus 3) - Immunological studies (Focus 4)
This is a prospective double-blind randomized placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial
This is a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, enriched enrollment randomized withdrawal study assessing the efficacy and safety of nabilone for non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson´s Disease. Nabilone is an analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis. Nabilone acts as a partial agonist on both Cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and Cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor in humans and therefore mimics the effect of THC but with more predictable side effects and less euphoria. Part 1 is an open-label dose adjustment phase of the study. In eligible patients, a screening period is followed by an open-label nabilone dose optimization phase and a stable phase for at least 1 week. Treatment responders will be included in Part 2 of the study (randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-grouped). Part 2 is the placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group randomized withdrawal phase of the study.
