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 identify and characterise bacteria present in the lower airways of children with suspected chronic LRTIs and for whom bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is indicated by the clinician.
Objective: To determine the influence of a counseling of physical activity (PA) versus usual care (UC) in the magnitude of chronic pain (CP) in patients diagnosed with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: A total of 64 subjects with (CLBP) and older were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (UC) + counseling of (AF) and control group (UC). Each group consisted of 32 participants and were evaluated twice (pre and post-intervention), being spaced one month, both groups received telephone follow-up for their participation. The primary endpoint was the magnitude of the (CP) measured by the tool grading scale of chronic pain (EGDC), while as secondary were considered the cardiovascular risk factors, catastrophism, kinesiofobia, disabled by back pain, quality of life, anxiety and depression and the (FA).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the transcutaneous application of unmodulated high frequency alternating currents could produce a quickly conduction block of peripheral nerve.
This was a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral administration of bexagliflozin at 20 mg versus placebo in subjects with T2DM, moderate renal impairment and inadequate glycemic control.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in asthma, primarily through the parasympathetic (by the cholinergic pathway) promoting bronchoconstriction. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease, however, bronchoconstriction is not always caused by bronchial inflammation, as occurs in paucigranulocitic phenotype or noninflammatory asthma. The hypothesis of this project is based on the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) would be involved in the pathogenesis of noninflammatory asthma (paucigranulocitic phenotype) and emotional stress and poor control of patients with severe asthma. To determine the ANS involvement in the pathogenesis of paucigranulocItic phenotype in asthma and correlate emotional stress, mediated by the ANS, with uncontrolled severe asthma. 30 asthmatics with different clinical severity (mild, severe controlled and uncontrolled severe) will be recruited , along with a control group of 10 healthy people. Descriptive variables, spirometry, inflammatory parameters (FeNO and inflammatory cell count in induced sputum), blood, saliva, urine and hair to obtain stress markers (glucose, copeptin, prolactin, cortisol) will be collected, and be supplied validated questionnaires of asthma control, quality of life and stress. For monitoring the response of the ANS will be done through an electrocardiogram, recording the heart rate variability (HRV). This analysis is carried out with the collaboration of engineers specialized in the characterization of cardiovascular signals for measuring the ANS.
Mepolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody. In conditions where eosinophilia is considered to play an important part in the pathology, including eosinophilic asthma, HES, and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, a consistent reduction in blood eosinophil counts is observed in association with mepolizumab administration, with concomitant clinical improvement. This is a 32-week treatment period, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicentre study of mepolizumab in adolescent and adult subjects with severe HES receiving standard of care (SoC) therapy. This study will demonstrate the efficacy of mepolizumab compared with placebo based on maintenance of control of HES symptoms during the treatment period. The study will comprise of a screening period of up to approximately 4 weeks followed by a 32-Week study treatment period (subjects will be randomized 1:1 to placebo or mepolizumab) and up to 8-week additional follow-up period (12 weeks after the last dose of study treatment).
Current definitions of the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) could be adequate for epidemiological studies but are not adequate for inclusion of patients into therapeutic clinical trials. It is a matter of debate whether the assessment of hypoxemia at ARDS onset is appropriate for stratifying lung severity and risk of death in ARDS patients. The investigators will perform an observational, non-interventional, multicenter, prospective audit in a network of intensive care units in Spain for evaluating the severity and risk of death based on the assessment of respiratory and ventilatory function at 24 hours after ARDS diagnosis under standardized ventilatory conditions. This study is the confirmatory phase of the study NCT02288949.
In the context of radiotherapy, control of breakthrough pain represents a special challenge. Patients undergoing radiotherapy may experience different situations of pain that may be due to the need to remain immobilized during radiotherapy session, the need to wear an immobilization mask (head and neck cancer), the odynophagia caused by mucositis, defecation after the development of proctitis, or sudden pain during the night causing sleep disturbances. In a survey conducted in radiation oncology services more than half of patients treated with radiotherapy experienced pain, and 39% of patients reported that their pain was not treated properly. This situation may increase the patient's anxiety, dissatisfaction with treatment, affect their quality of life and can even come to refuse radiotherapy treatment. This post-authorization observational study will assess the quality of life of cancer patients with breakthrough cancer pain treated in radiotherapy services in Spanish hospitals.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of different dose-escalation approaches of regorafenib in mCRC patients.
This study is a post market, multi-centre, randomised study evaluating PerClot compared to usual care. PerClot is a CE marked device and is currently used as a haemostat in gynaecological surgery throughout Europe. The purpose of this study is to collect additional post market data on its use in this indication.
