There are about 21071 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Spain. 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.
The aim of this study is to develop and validate an Ecological Momentary Intervention APP for healthcare workers, in order to face of work-related stresses generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bio-healthy parks are an alternative for practicing physical activity outdoors and free of charge. However, there is no research that analyzes the effect of a planned training program in these parks. There are two types of parks under development, with and without externally added resistance. Therefore, general objective of this project are to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of targeted training in bio-healthy parks on body composition, bone mineral density, blood pressure, strength, functional capacity, sarcopenia, sagittal disposition of the spine, quality of life, life satisfaction and Mediterranean diet adherence in adults and older adults. The present project will be developed through a randomized controlled trial, with 1 experimental and 1 control group, with pre-test and post-test, with intra-group and inter-group analysis for each of the dependent variables of the study. It will be measure body composition, bone mineral density, blood pressure, upper limb strength, lower limb strength, functional capacity, sarcopenia, sagittal disposition of the spine, Health-related quality of life, satisfaction with life and Mediterranean diet adherence. Experimental group will receive the exercise program on bio-healthy park machine with a frequency of 2 sessions per week of 55 minutes for 8 weeks. The control group will not perform any intervention program following their usual activity.
This study is about teenagers and adults with hereditary angioedema (HAE) type I and type II. In this study, the burden of illness means the impact of HAE in terms of long-term health outcomes and the financial cost. The main aims of this study are as follows: - to learn how often, how severe and where on the body HAE attacks occur. - to describe how HAE prophylaxis and on-demand medicines are prescribed and used. (Prophylaxis medicines prevent a bleed from happening and on-demand medicines treat a bleed when it occurs.) This study is about collecting data only; participants will not receive treatment as part of this study. Existing data available in the participant's medical records will be collected. Participants will be asked to complete an electronic questionnaire either on a website or by using an app on their mobile phone; data from this questionnaire will also be collected. Participants do not need to visit their doctor in addition to their normal visits.
The aim of our study was to compare the recovery of smell in people suffering posttraumatic olfactory impairment following a systematic olfactory rehabilitation performed by occupational therapists to natural recovery in a control posttraumatic group of patients.
This is a phase II, open-label study where weekly doses of 80 mg/kg viltolarsen is administered intravenously over a 48-week treatment period to ambulant and non-ambulant DMD patients over the age of 8 years.
This study proves the specificity of manual therapy in unspecified an subacute low back pain
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and serious disease in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Untreated AF increases the risk of deaths related to cardiovascular events and multiplies the risk of strokes by 5. Anticoagulation with warfarin significantly reduces the incidence of ischemic strokes in the general population, has a long half-life, and a narrow therapeutic index that requires periodic monitoring. In addition, warfarin treatment is a frequent cause of hospital admission for iatrogenesis. In HD patients, the relationship between stroke prevention benefit and bleeding risk is an unmet medical need. It should be noted that in these patients the risk of bleeding is multiplied by 3 to 10 times compared to the general population. The new direct-acting oral anticoagulants (NACOs), thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran), and activated factor X inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban), do not require regular monitoring, but their plasma concentrations are altered with the deterioration of the renal function. According to its technical data sheets, they do not recommend its use in clinical practice for HD patients. However, the apixaban data sheet includes the results of a pilot clinical trial in the African American population on HD, suggesting that it is a safe anticoagulant drug. The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and short-term safety (4 weeks) of apixaban in the Spanish population with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and on hemodialysis. Long-term safety will be assessed in the extension study: prospective cohort study of patients included in the clinical trial. Therefore, this project is comprised of 2 clinical studies (one clinical trial and one extension study) whose objective is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and short and long-term safety of apixaban in patients on hemodialysis and with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (FANV). The results of this project (clinical trial and extension study) will provide evidence on whether apixaban may be the anticoagulant treatment of choice for this type of patient.
Although smoking has been proposed as well, as a risk factor/indicator for peri-implantitis, there is currently no conclusive evidence. The current literature confronts the inconclusive evidence of tobacco for a risk factor. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation is to determine the association between tobacco and peri-implantitis in sample of patients who had received therapy implant-supported restorative therapy in a university setting. The present study was designed as a retrospective case control study in a sample of patients with implant-supported restorative therapy 7-19 years after restorative phase. The study was conducted at the Clinica Universitaria d'Odontologia (CUO) in the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC) for 1 month and was performed following the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki (revised, amended, and clarified in 2013. Prior to enrol the study a written informed consent was signed. Patients provided with implant-supported restorative therapy between 2001-2013 was selected from the UIC database. The sample was divided in three groups: healthy patients, patients with mucositis and patients with peri-implantitis. During the examination, the clinician reviewed with the patient the Information and Medication History Forms and record the anthropometric, socio-demographic and clinical information. An initial questionnaire was conducted to obtain information regarding age, gender, medical history, medication, and health behaviour. Candidates underwent an oral pathology examination and a full-mouth probing using a standardize pressure (20N) probe SONDA PA_ON (Orange Dental®, Aspachstr, Biberach, Germany) to determine their periodontal and peri-implant status. All statistical analyses were performed with the package RStudio (V2.5). Descriptive characteristics regarding all the covariates were summarized. Periimplant bone loss (95% Confidence Interval - 95% CI) were calculated both at implant- and at patient-level. A multilevel regression model will be applied to evaluate the influence of some risk/protective indicators on the risk for peri-implant bone loss. Risk/protective indicators for periimplantitis will be studied using multilevel (mixed-effects) multivariate regression analyses (patient- and implant-level). Each potential indicator was tested individually by adding it to an empty model having as dependent variable the peri-implant status and testing the significance.
INTRODUCTION: Bright light therapy (BLT) has demonstrated positive effects on sleep, mood, and behavioral problems in older adults with dementia. However, there is little research in people with advanced stages of dementia. OBJECTIVES: Main objectives are to study the immediate effects, short and long-term effects of BLT in a sample of institutionalized older adults with moderate to very severe dementia. Later, to compare the potential effectiveness of bright light therapy sessions with other non-pharmacological interventions in people with dementia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The study was a 2 x 2 randomized controlled trial using a two-group design (BLT vs. control) and two repeated measures (pre- vs. postintervention). In addition, the BLT group participants were assessed immediately before, after, and during each session. The BLT protocol consisted of 30-minute morning sessions of 10,000 lux, Monday through Friday, for 4 weeks. For the statistical analysis, two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) are used to determine the existence of differences at two points in time (pre- vs. post-). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test or the Paired t test are used to measure changes from before to after the intervention sessions.
The purpose of this extension trial is to evaluate the long-term safety of delgocitinib. Subjects will visit the clinic every 4 week to assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment, until Week 36. A final follow-up phone call is planned on Week 38.
