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 purpose of this study is to assess patients with chronic heart failure and moderate-severe ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction (FEVE) <40%) with nocturnal desaturation (mean Oxygen saturation (SatO2) <90% and/or Cummulative time (TC) <90% > 22 minutes) without underlying respiratory disease, oxygen treatment during hours of night rest will reduce exacerbations, improve the ability to effort, sleep quality and poor prognostic parameters of heart failure, compared to patients not receiving oxygen treatment.
In recent years, the world of anesthesiology is questioning one of its great dogmas: Are so many hours of strict fasting necessary in patients who are candidates for elective surgeries? The main objective of our clinical trial will be demonstrate whether preoperative oral loading with hydrocarbonate beverages reduces the time of return of intestinal function in the postoperative period compared to water administration and strict fasting in patients undergoing elective radical cystectomy.
This multicenter, prospective study will evaluate the use of a nutritional support program including an oral diabetes-specific nutritional supplement consumed twice a day on the nutritional status of patients with T2D with or at risk of malnutrition.
The aim of this multicenter non-controlled study is to develop a multivariable prediction model of pain/disability improvements in patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears, after a physical therapy treatment based on therapeutic exercise and education.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial] is to investigate the effects of a 12-week time restricted eating (TRE) and exercise combined intervention, as compared to (i) TRE alone, and to (ii) Caloric Restriction (CR) plus the same exercise intervention elicited by the TRE group, on Skeletal muscle tissue (SMT) quantity, quality and function (primary outcome), Resting energy expenditure (REE) and cardiometabolic health (secondary outcomes), and miRNA biomarkers in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity.
This study aims to guide older people living in the community on appropriate strategies within a fall prevention program. This program is aimed at training in daily activities carried out through group workshops (guided by a physiotherapist) and at preventing risk situations at home.
Non-randomized, open label, translational research study in women with early HER2-positive invasive breast carcinoma eligible for neoadjuvant treatment. The aim of BIONHER is to assess the impact of short-term neoadjuvant dual HER2-blockade on HER2-positive breast cancer transcriptomic profile and to evaluate whether early on treatment tumor biopsy can improve the accuracy of predicting response over the pre-treatment alone.
The study aims at describing the prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection in anal and oral samples of men with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and detecting risk factors for the infection.
The study aims at evaluating the maintenance of virologic suppression of dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) fixed dose combination (FDC) at Week 48 post-switch from bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) in participants living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) who are of at least 50 years of age and above.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a group of illnesses that include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, congenital heart disease, and deep vein thrombosis. CVD is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, representing 31% of deaths. In Spain, CVD caused 24% of all deaths in 2020. Major surgery is often chosen as the treatment of choice for CVD. The concept of fast-track rehabilitation after surgery appeared in the 1970s. Participation in these exercise-based prehabilitation programs may decrease postoperative complications and length of hospital stay. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate whether the implementation of an additional resistance training (RT) prehabilitation protocol within a cardiac exercise-based prehabilitation can reduce ICU length of stay, postoperative complications, and hospital length of stay (LOS). Additionally, the secondary objective is to determine whether a program that includes RT in addition to respiratory and aerobic training can have better effects on ventilatory variables. This study follows the protocol of a prospective, parallel, non-randomized clinical trial. Ninety-six adult patients diagnosed with valvular pathology and who have been scheduled for surgery will be included. The control group will be treated with ventilatory and strengthening of respiratory muscles, as well as aerobic exercise. The experimental group, in addition, will receive RT targeting peripheral muscles. Variables such as hospital stay, quality of life, respiratory values, and exercise capacity will be evaluated. Quantitative variables will be analyzed using a t-test or ANOVA, or Mann-Whitney test if the distribution is non-parametric.
