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 general objective of the study is to assess whether the new smartconsent tool improves patients' understanding of the intervention to be performed, compared to standard practice. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted in 50 patients who will undergo LASER PROSTATIC ENUCLEATION.
It is an interventional study that proves the eficacy of the manual therapy with active manual therapy and combined with exercise in cervical pain.
Rationale: Histological inflammation of the prostate is a common finding in the results of the histopathological examinations after a prostate biopsy or a transurethral or open prostatectomy. Several studies have investigated the role of prostatic inflammation in the development of prostatic enlargement and pathogenesis of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). Therefore, prostatic inflammation could be a potential treatment target for men with LUTS. Objective: The aim of the study is the development and the validation of a nomogram based on clinical parameters that could predict the presence of prostatic inflammation. Study design: Non-interventional, multicentric, cross-sectional, observational prospective study. Study population: Men, age ≥ 40 yrs, with LUTS who will undergo any prostatic surgery for BPH (Open, laparoscopic, robotic, transurethral resection/enucleation, laser prostatectomy) or TRUS-biopsy according to the standard clinical practice of the participating urologists Intervention: All included males receive standard care for their symptoms according to the physician's practice. For this study, baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients are recorded and correlated with the histological outcome. Main study parameters/endpoints: Development and validation of the Prostatic Inflammation Nomogram Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: No additional treatment or intervention related to the study is required. Therefore no negative outcomes are expected as the standard treatment is unchanged. There is no additional burden for the patients.
This randomized crossover study will compare walking with KAFO type orthoses (current standard of care) versus the ABLE Exoskeleton device, during walking in patients with spinal cord injury in a hospital setting. The ABLE Exoskeleton is a robotic exoskeleton that actively assists individuals with mobility problems to stand up, walk and sit down. The main objective of the study is to compare the energy efficiency during gait with both devices. Secondary objectives are: compare gait kinematics, usability, user's satisfaction, physical activity and psychosocial impact. The study will also serve to evaluate the usability and safety of the ABLE Exoskeleton in clinical practice. Subjects will complete 10 gait training sessions during a 5-week period with 1 of the 2 devices randomly selected, followed by a post-training assessment consisting of 1 session. Once the test is completed, subjects will have a 2-week rest period after which they will repeat the process with the other device for 5 weeks (followed by 1 post-training assessment session). The study will be conducted at Hospital Asepeyo Barcelona in Spain, where a total of 10 patients will be recruited.
TThis research wants to observe the effectiveness of an Empathic attunement online training program for psychologists. This training is based on emotion-focused therapy. The present research has one main objective and two secondary objectives. The main objective of is to explore the impact of compassion training as a facilitator of empathic attunement training. For this reason, an experimental design will be conducted, randomly assigning therapists to two training programs on empathy, one of them accompanied by compassion training and the other accompanied by focusing training. Secondary objectives: - To validate in Spanish three empathy measures, the empathic understanding subscale from Barrett-Lennard´s relational inventory, Watson´s Observation of expressed empathy measure and the empathy subscale made from the Sussex-Oxford Compassion for Others Scale. - To explore patient variables related to empathy perception, especially the role of self-critic.
Further knowledge regarding sequelae in severe COVID-19 patients who have required ICU admission for invasive mechanical ventilation is still needed. Available evidence suggests ongoing respiratory impairment and impact in quality of life.
This study consists in the design, implementation and evaluation of an animation (Alerta Alcohol 2.0)- versus text-based (Alerta Alcohol) computer-tailored game intervention aimed to prevent alcohol consumption and binge drinking (BD) in Spanish adolescents. A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial (CRCT) is conducted to test the effectiveness of Alerta Alcohol versus Alerta Alcohol 2.0 in students aged 14 to 19 years across 24 high schools from Andalusia (southern Spain), which are randomized either to the experimental (EC-1, EC-2) or the control conditions (CC).
Caffeine supplementation has been recognized such as an useful strategy for improving performance in intermittent sports, however caffeine ingestion in futsal has been barely studied. In this randomized placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effects of acute caffeine supplementation in improving neuromuscular performance and physical match activity in futsal players.
The purpose of this study is to assess the immediate effects of CRet associated to Functional Massage (F.M) in terms of gait and functionality after stroke
Trigger points (TrPs) are a common musculoskeletal cause of local and referred muscle pain, as well as local inflammation in the muscle and fascia. From a clinical and sensory viewpoint, TrPs may be classified as active or latent. The principal difference is the reproduction of symptoms experienced by an individual (active) with or without stimulation. Local and referred pain elicited from latent TrPs may be transient in duration upon stimulation, and latent TrPs may be present without spontaneous symptoms. Both active and latent TrPs induce motor dysfunctions such as stiffness, restricted range of motion, and accelerated fatigability in the affected muscle. The interrater reliability of manual identification of latent TrPs in the calf muscles has been found to range from small to moderate. The clinical relevance of latent TrPs has increased in the last decade,4 and some studies have investigated the effects of treating them. Among all manual therapies targeted to latent TrPs, ischemic compression, or TrP pressure release, is the most commonly used. Although TrPs may affect any muscle, the gastrocnemius muscle may be the most susceptible in the lower extremity to developing them. It has been reported that 13% to 30% of the asymptomatic population has latent TrPs in these muscles, and their presence may affect sport practice. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate changes in neuromuscular function, pain perception, and basic physical properties in myofascial trigger points (TrPs) after a single treatment session of dry needling in the gastrocnemius muscle. A randomized within-participant clinical trial with a blinded assessor will be conducted. 50 asymptomatic volunteers (100 gastrocnemius-muscle) with MrPs gastrocnemius-muscle TrPs will bilaterally explored. Each extremity will be randomly assigned to the control group (no treatment) or the experimental group (60 seconds of dry needling over each TrP). Neuromuscular function of the gastrocnemius muscle will be assessed using a MyotonPro and a tensiomyography. Muscle flexibility will be analyzed using the lunge test and the passive ankle range of motion. The strength will be determined with a handheld dynamometer (MicroFET2). Pain perception will be analyzed with a 0-to-10 numerical pain rating scale and determination of pressure pain thresholds over each latent TrP.
