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.
Emotional disorders (anxiety and/or depression) are severely undiagnosed and untreated despite being among the most common mental disorders, particularly at a young age. Half of all mental disorders begin by age 14; three-quarters by age 24, which makes adolescence a particularly crucial stage. In adolescence, prodromal signs of mental disorders and even full-blown clinical conditions often remain undetected, undiagnosed and untreated. However, there is an absence of evidence-based protocols to reach at-risk youth for developing emotional disorders. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift by developing intervention protocols to early identify and treat at-risk adolescents, thus preventing them from developing severe mental disorders later on in life. Mental health selective prevention is key to helping at-risk adolescents thrive before emotional disorder evolves. To cover this gap, PROCARE is conceptualized as a modularized selective preventive programme for adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. Using personalized medicine approach, PROCARE will allow to tailor intervention protocols according to the particular needs of an individual, but also to identify vulnerable people according to risk factors. Adolescents will be stratified based on risk and resilience status and allocated to a 3-arm intervention trial, delivered as a group, face-to-face or telehealth format, depending on Covid19 restrictions imposed by government. By the very first time, PROCARE as selective intervention for at-risk adolescents will deliver specific add-on modules to tackle risk factors evidenced by adolescents, along with a core intervention. The PROCARE protocol aims to reduce the effect of risk factors and enhance protective factors that will eventually lead to lasting positive effects for adolescents. PROCARE will combine quantitative analysis, with special attention to vulnerable groups in a sex/gender disaggregated way. The PROCARE project is expected to have a far impact ultimately contributing to preventing and reducing the prevalence of mental disorders in the young. The outcomes of PROCARE will contribute to identifying and treating adolescents at risk for emotional mental at an early stage, before they incur personal, societal and economic cost. PROCARE will be culturally-adapted and implemented as a multicenter Randomized-Controlled Trial (RCT). PROCARE will be designed to be an acceptable, scalable, and sustainable selective prevention program.
Using Brain Mapping and Cognitive ERPs, the investigatos have searched for a Brain Networks involved during Inhibitory Control in Lifelong Premature Ejaculation (LPE) participants. The investigators have designed a clinical trial comparing placebo with tDCS and blacebo group against Dapoxetine, studying the effects on LPE, as well as side effects and their medium and long-term duration.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of ESO-101 in adult patients with active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Patients will be screened at 2 visits (Visit 1 and Visit 2) during which their eligibility will be assessed based on endoscopy-independent criteria (Visit 1) and based on the histologic assessment of esophageal biopsy samples taken during the screening endoscopy (Visit 2). Eligible patients will be randomized 2:1 to once-daily treatment with ESO-101 or placebo and treated for 28 days starting on Day 0. Further clinic visits will be performed at Day 14 (Visit 4) and Day 28 (Visit 5, end of treatment) to assess the efficacy, tolerability, and safety. In addition, a safety follow-up call will be scheduled 2 weeks after the end of treatment (Day 42, Visit 6).
This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin) to insulin degludec (an insulin already available on the market) in people with type 1 diabetes. The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin degludec taken daily. Participants will either get insulin icodec that participants will have to inject once a week on the same day of the week, or insulin degludec that participants will have to inject once a day at the same time every day. Which treatment participants get is decided at random. Participants will also get a mealtime insulin. The insulin is injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm or stomach. The study will last for about 1 year and 2 months. Participants will have 28 clinic visits and 28 phone calls with the study doctor. At 11 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 6 clinic visits participants cannot eat or drink (except for water) for 8 hours before the visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures your blood sugar all the time. Participants will be asked to wear it for a total of 57 weeks (around 1 year). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
The primary goal of most acute stroke interventions is to restore cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the affected region and prevent hypoperfusion during early clinical course. Diffuse optical technology offers a new opportunity for invasive, real time and bedside assessment of brain function biomarkers, including CBF. However, whether CBF monitoring can identify patients who are most likely to benefit from therapies is unclear Recently, it was suggested that the benefit of early mobilization (EM) after stroke on motor recovery may be outweighed by a deleterious effect on cerebral perfusion if cerebral autoregulation (CA) is impaired. Hypothetically, EM could improve recovery outcomes after stroke in selected patients based on CA function. Our objective is to investigate if EM leads to superior motor and functional outcome after stroke compared to standard care (SC) in selected patients based on optical biomarkers of CA and evaluate the feasibility of the clinical use of a novel transcranial optical monitoring system adapted to deliver biomarkers of CA at the bedside. The investigators designed a randomized controlled, open-labeled trial with blinded assessment of outcome end-points in a stroke unit of a tertiary stroke center. Patients with an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke will be recruited and randomly assigned within 24 hours after symptoms onset to receive SC alone or EM in addition to SC. All patients will undergo optical monitoring of CA on admission to the Stroke Unit during the first mobilization. Randomization will be stratified by stroke severity and type of stroke. Clinical outcome will be assessed with the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke (PASS) and modified Rankin scale at 90 days. Safety outcome will be assessed by recording the incidence of neurological deterioration, recurrence and falls.
Insulclock® is a small electronic device developed to facilitate the optimal administration of insulin. This device works as an add-on module of commercially available insulin pens and monitors the date, time and dose of injections, the type of insulin injected, the duration of injections and insulin temperature. The Insulclock 360 app allows automatic data logging, report generation and reminder setting, among other functions. In this study, we pretend to show the clinical impact of Insulclock system, both device and mobile application, on glycemic indices, treatment compliance, and quality of life in patients with persistent poorly controlled T1DM. Material and methods: Randomized open-label multicenter controlled trial to evaluate glycemic control, the number of missed and delayed insulin doses, and quality of life after seven weeks of Insulclock 360 use in participants with uncontrolled DM1. We will also compare these results between patients with or without receiving system reminders and alerts. This study aims to assess the effect of Insulclock on glycemic control, treatment adherence, and quality of life. As a secondary objective, we will compare the study outcomes between participants in the Active and Masked Insulclock groups (i.e., with or without receiving alerts and reminders and accessing the app). To assess glycemic control, we will measure HbA1C and glycemic indices. Glycemic variability indices will be monitored with the FreeStyle Libre™ and included glucose coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation (SD), time in range (TIR), time above range (TAR), and time below range (TBR). Mean glucose levels will be obtained from 48-h time intervals with the FreeStyle Libre. A late meal bolus (mistimed) will be considered when Insulclock detects the injection at least 30 minutes after the CGM rise. To identify meal glucose excursions, we will use the Glucose Rate Increase Detector (GRID) algorithm, which estimates the rate of change (ROC) of glucose from CGM data. Participants will complete the ITSQ and the DTSQ, which are validated questionnaires to assess the diabetes treatment satisfaction.
This is a retrospective, multinational, non-interventional, observational study. A series of cohort studies will be conducted to assess the prevalence of undiagnosed stage 3 CKD in each region. The study will also assess the current state of CKD management in patients with undiagnosed CKD
A tape is applied over the inguinal skin nerves in people with low back pain. When placing the experimental tape, mobility should be improved and when the area is cooled with the tape, rotation should be limited again by inhibiting skin receptors. When returning to the initial temperature, you should improve the degrees of mobility again demonstrating that Magnetic tape only acts on the dermal receptors. The possible variation of the range in movement is measured with the validated program for the measurement of angles, Kinovea® program. A kinesiology tape was used as a placebo tape and the magnetic tape was used in a randomized experimental way.
Natural Language Processing and machine learning are examples of artificial intelligence tools. This study will check if these tools correctly identify people with Crohn's disease with complex perianal fistulas from their medical records.
The investigators have developed an investigation comparing electroacupuncture with pelvic floor exercises in female urinary incontinence (UI). It is a randomized clinical trial with 71 women with UI and two arms: 37 women received electroacupuncture with pelvic floor exercises and another arm with 34 women who only received pelvic floor exercises. The investigators evaluated the effectiveness using the International consultation on incontinence questionaire-urinary incontinence short form (ICQ-UI SF) Spanish version. The investigators also evaluated the safety of electroacupuncture in our sample.
