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 the effectiveness of 448 kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency in the treatment of subacromial syndrome.
Trocar site hernia is a specific complication of laparoscopic surgery. The increasingly frequent use of the laparoscopic approach has resulted in an increase in the number of hernias, mainly at the umbilical area. The appearance of a trocar site hernia can cause complications in the short and long term to the patient who may end up needing a reoperation. In this study we want to compare the supraumbilical versus the infraumbilical location of the laparoscopy entry trocar, in terms of incisional hernia incidence.
Introduction. Shoulder injury is the pathology that causes the longest downtime in rugby players, representing 66% of upper limb injuries in this discipline. The lack of strength, and instability are factors that predispose the athlete to suffer this type of dysfunction. The intervention of the study consists of a training program that counteract these dysfunctions. Aim. Assess the effectiveness of a program using plyometric, proprioceptive and strength exercises on 18-45-year-old rugby players to improve strength and stability. Study design. Clinical randomized, prospective, single-blind and trackable. Methods. The subjects included in two study groups, experimental and control, will be attributed a random order. The treatment will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions, of approximately 25 minutes each. The study variables will be strength, stability and functionality. A descriptive statistical analysis will be carried out calculating the main statistical characteristics. Through of a Kolmogorov analysis the normality of the sample will be assessed. A t-Student test for paired samples will be performed for the difference between the means of the dependent and independent variables. An analysis if variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures will be used to compare the means and checked to what extent the intra-subjects factors influence the dependent variables. Expected results. Improved shoulder strength, stability and functionality for the subjects on which the study is carried out.
This is a multicentric, single arm, prospective, stratified by breast density clinical investigation using Mammowave that is a device, which uses microwaves instead of ionizing radiation (X-ray)for breast lesions(BL) detection. Specifically, Mammowave employs a novel technique which generates images by processing very low power (<1 mW) microwaves. The exam takes few minutes per breast and is performed with the patient lying in a comfortable facing down position. Mammowave is safe to be used at any age, in any condition (pregnancy, specific illness) and for unlimited number of times.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the retention rate of perampanel as a reliable proxy for overall effectiveness and tolerability in participants aged at least 12 years who are prescribed perampanel (for partial onset seizures [POS] with or without secondary generalization [SG] or for primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures [PGTCS] associated with idiopathic generalized epilepsy [IGE] as first adjunctive to antiepileptic drug (AED) monotherapy as part of their routine clinical care.
Perioperative hypothermia is one of the most common anaesthetic complications, increasing the morbidity/mortality of our patients. Active prewarming with hot forced-air devices has demonstrated to be the most effective tool to prevent hypothermia, but its use is only recommended in long-term surgeries and the optimal prewarming duration has not been elucidated. Both spinal anaesthesia associated to the irrigation with liquids at low temperature instilled during transurethral resection (TUR) cause a decrease in the core temperature of the patient. This is a clinical trial comparing different time periods of prewarming in patients submitted to undergo elective transurethral resection. Our aim is to assess the effect of different time-periods of prewarming on preventing perioperative hypothermia during TUR with spinal anaesthesia. Investigators will compare different time periods: 0 minutes (control group), 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes. 200 patients are going to be included in this study (50 patients in each group). Measurement of temperature will be performed using a tympanic thermometer and zero-heat-flux temperature sensor. Patients will be followed throughout their hospital admission. Data will be recorded using a validated instrument and will be analysed using the statistics program R Core Team.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the treatment benefit of erenumab on headache duration of at least moderate pain intensity.
The general objective is to evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with masked hypertension. The secondary objectives are: i) To evaluate the prevalence of different circadian patterns of BP in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) (dipper / non-dipper); ii) To assess in these patients the relationship between compliance with CPAP treatment and the response to nocturnal BP; iii) To identify variables of the ABPM, and biomarkers that are related to the unfavourable pattern of nocturnal BP response in these patients treated with CPAP; iv) To evaluate the change in the profile of biomarkers with the treatment. Methodology: Open, parallel, prospective, randomized and controlled study in which an ABPM will be performed in individuals with masked hypertension referred to the sleep unit and diagnosed of OSA (AHI≥ 30) without sleepiness (Epworth≤18). A total of 64 subjects with OSA and masked hypertension will be recruited. It will be collected blood for the determination of biomarkers. Subsequently, they will be randomized to receive treatment with CPAP (32) or conservative treatment (32). After 3 months of initiation, ABPM and biological determinations will be repeated.
Main objective: To assess the efficacy of a phase III cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP), based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise (time of physical exercise per week) for patients with myocardial ischemia (MI), once the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of CRP is completed. Secondary objectives: To assess the efficacy of a phase III program of CRP based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise for the patient with MI in: 1) the energy expenditure per week, 2) body mass index and abdominal perimeter, 3) control of cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus), 4) quality of life related to health, 5) assess the adherence to cardiac pharmacological treatment. Method: Randomized clinical trial in conglomerates, open and controlled. The intervention group will carry out phase III of CRP based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise. The control group will receive the usual care. The main outcome will be the physical exercise time per week after finish the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of CRP and at 6 and 12 month later according to the 7-day Physical Activity Recall.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of K-321 in patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) after descemetorhexis.
