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.
To develop, using barcode systems and virtual pillbox (TuMedicina and Alice), an App aimed at patients and carers of patients with cardiometabolic diseases as the main diagnosis, over 45 years of age, who have one or more pathologies and use one or more drugs on a daily basis and to analyze their effectiveness in terms of achieving therapeutic objectives, self-efficacy and self-efficacy in self-care or provision of care (as the case may be), healthy behavior, therapeutic compliance and safe use of medication.
Introduction. Distasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is defined as the presence of divergence between the rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba. Some authors describe a prevalence of 40% in women up to one year postpartum. Some studies suggest that the presence of DRA can be related to the appearance of low back, pelvic and abdominal pain and even urinary incontinence. These factors can significantly affect the quality of life of women with diastasis both socially, sexual and personal level. According to several studies, this pathology is related to higher rates of depression and an alteration in the self-perception of body image that makes these women to look to specialized medical care. At present, the quantitative evaluation of DRA is performed purely anatomically. This evaluation consists in measuring the separation between the two rectus abdominis. Currently there is no consensus as to the protocol that should be used for this measurement. So far, no instrument is able to quantitatively measure the consequences of DRA. The evaluation of symptoms and consequences should include relevant parameters such as quality of life, perception of body image and functional limitations. The objective of this study is the creation and validation of a specific questionnaire to evaluate the symptoms and consequences of DRA. Material and methods. A) Development of the questionnaire 1. Literature review 2. Online survey 3. Expert panel 4. Pilot test of the questionnaire B) Validation of the questionnaire. The psychometric properties of the questionnaire will be evaluated in a sample of patients with DRA. The sample will be composed of a group of adult women with DRA who attended to a physiotherapy clinic.
Pilot study to evaluate the performance of a lead below 2 French with specific distal shape to deliver efficient LV pacing
The main purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of two strategies aimed to rescue patients lost to follow-up with active infection or with positive HCV antibodies without RNA request to complete evaluation and prescription of treatment in cases of chronic infection. After patient identification from data files of laboratory and microbiology charts, patients will be randomized to: a) phone call, and b) invitation letter, both of two strategies including a scheduled appointment with the hepatologist.
Radical cystectomy is associated with a greater risk of fracture due to long-term metabolic consequences of intestinal urinary diversions. One of the mechanisms theoretically involved with bone loss after radical cystectomy is metabolic acidosis that inhibits osteoblast activity, stimulates osteoclast bone resorption and urinary calcium loss. Other factors as advanced age, diabetes or chronic renal failure may increase the effect of metabolic acidosis. Moreover, osteoporosis in men remains under-diagnosed and under-appreciated. Although metabolic and bone changes after radical cystectomy are well known, bone mineral density (BMD) or fracture risk assessment are not recommended in different international guidelines during follow-up. The objective of this study is to evaluate the fracture risk of male patients undergoing radical cystectomy after more than one year of follow-up. Fracture risk assessment will be performed by BMD to analyse the prevalence of osteoporosis, vertebral fractures and measurement of Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) in combination with the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX). These results will be correlated with blood markers with the objective to determine independent risk factors for osteoporosis or bone fracture in this population. To the best of the investigator's knowledge this will be the first study assessing the fracture risk after radical cystectomy performance evaluating BMD and the probability of fracture at 10 years using the FRAX algorithm.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality, acceptance, tolerability and adverse effects of colonoscopy preparations with the different available preparation guidelines.

The objective of this study is to increase the registry of social determinants of health in the primary care centers and evaluate the relationship that these social determinants of health with various variables of social impact.
Exercise training, as the core component of a Pulmonary Rehabilitation program, may help restore arterial blood flow in the lungs of patients who had suffered Pulmonary Embolism (PE), stimulating and promoting vasodilator effects, repairing the damaged endothelium and recruiting new blood vessels and also inducing a net fibrinolytic balance. Besides, exercise training could have a positive effect on quality of life of these patients.
DESIGN: Observational prospective study. INCLUSION CRITERIA: All women are 18 years old of age or older with high risk for preterm birth, based on clinical history, and between 18.0 weeks and 23.6 weeks of pregnancy. SAMPLE SIZE: 214 asymptomatic high risk pregnant women. METHODOLOGY: Patient selection, obtaining of informed consent, randomization for cervical placement of pessary. Current follow-up until delivery. Pessary is removed at 37 week or before in some specific situations. MAIN OUTCOME: sPTB <370 weeks of gestation. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: Pregnancy outcomes and a neonatal composite morbidity. EXPECTED RESULTS: Cervical pessary reduces sPB below 37 weeks in high risk of preterm birth population.
