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.
Patients who have undergone COVID-19 infection often have long-term sequelae. One of the most prevalent sequelae is pain. The main objective of this research is to investigate the efficacy of Pain Informed Movement program in patients with post COVID-19 condition experiencing persistent pain. Through the implementation of this program, the investigators seek to determine whether such intervention can offer significant improvements in reducing pain intensity and interference, catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, and functionality of affected patients.
This study aims to answer the question whether the use of a fluorescent layer over white zirconia abutments will improve the aesthetic outcomes of implant borne single-tooth restorations when compared to the use of non-layered white zirconia abutments. The study is designed as a parallel, single-centre and double blind clinical trial. Patients in need of a single tooth implant in the maxilla (from right second premolar to left second premolar, both included) with the presence of adjacent natural teeth will be randomly divided into two treatment groups: using white yttria-stabilized zirconia abutment (PYRCA; BioHorizons, Birmingham, EEUU) with immersion in fluorescent liquid (Zirkonzahn, South Tirol, Italy)(test group) or white yttria-stabilized zirconia abutment (PYRCA; BioHorizons, Birmingham, EEUU) without immersion in fluorescent liquid (control group). 1 and 12 months after crown placement, patients will be recalled and subjected to aesthetic, clinical, radiographic and patient centered outcomes.
An exploratory trial using a cuasi-experimental design aimed to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities. The intervention consists of 11 consecutive sessions of forest bathing (one session per week), each one lasting about 2 hours. Each session involves an easy walk through a forest area, interspersed with non-intrusive activities of contact with the surrounding nature aimed at fostering mindfulness and the use of the five senses. Data were collected at baseline, post intervention, and 7 months of follow-up.
A total of 74 people diagnosed with non-specific chronic low back pain of more than 3 months of evolution and who are not currently undergoing any type of treatment will be recruited, with ages between 35 and 65 years. A random distribution will be made into two treatment groups (monopolar diathermy by radiofrequency versus placebo). Participants will receive treatment three per week for a period of three weeks, in the physiotherapy laboratories of the University of Almería, with a follow-up evaluation post-intervention (one months) and two months after the end of treatment. At their first visit, participants will be screened for study eligibility according to the study inclusion and exclusion criteria, and will be evaluated by a therapist blinded to the intervention. After this face-to-face evaluation, patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and will receive treatment for low back pain according to their random assignment group by two therapists belonging to the research group and trained in the techniques used.
Introduction: the management of Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) is focused on therapeutic exercise (TE) to improve muscle strength and motor control. Recent studies suggest that the addition of radiofrequency diathermy (RFD) obtain greater short-term improvements in knee pain than TE alone. As there is no follow up data, the aim of this research is to assess the long-term effects of adding RFD to TE on pain, function and quality of life on PFP patients. Methods: a single-blind randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Participants diagnosed of PFP will be allocated in either a TE group or a RFD+TE one. Sociodemographic data, knee pain, and lower limb function will be collected. Each group will performed 20 min of daily knee and hip supervised TE along three weeks with the addition of ten sessions of RFD for the RFD+TE group.
Objective: To investigate whether an acute intake of Beetroot Juice (BJ) improved performance factors in a repeated swimming effort at maximum speed in elite swimmers. Methods: A total of 13 elite swimmers (6 girls and 7 boys) participated in this randomised, double-blind study. In 2 different trials, the swimmers ingested an injection of Beet-It (70 ml placebo (PL) or an injection of Beet-It 70 ml beetroot juice (BJ)) 3 hours before undergoing a 6x100m crawl intermittent maximal speed performance test.
Randomized control study with a control group and 90 days follow-up for assessing the decrease in the incidence of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia in the osteosynthesis surgical patients after the application of a bundle in prevention measures during the perioperative period, assessing thermal comfort, tremors (validation into spanish a tremors assessment scale), surgical site infections and readmissions.
The main objective of this study is to compare the complete section of the transverse carpal ligament with another median nerve release technique and to determine if the incidence of post-surgical pillar pain is lower for either of the two surgical techniques. As secondary objectives, we also seek to determine if the postsurgical grip and pincer strength and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) score are better for either of the two surgical techniques.
Celiac disease is a chronic immune-based intestinal pathology. Its prevalence is 1% and its incidence has increased in recent years. This disease usually causes gastrointestinal and/or extraintestinal symptoms, which can only be reduced by following a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. In addition, the social life of people with celiac disease is impaired due to the impact of the gluten-free diet on daily activities. An adequate Nutrition Education program can improve the physical and social health of these people. Moreover, considering the high impact this disease has on the people close to the celiac patient, and due to the important role that general population has in the care and inclusion of persons with celiac disease, education should be directed to general population. Therefore, the purpose of ZELIAKIDE program is to promote Nutrition Education in general population. In particular, the specific aims are 1) to promote the social inclusion of people with celiac disease by raising awareness among the general population, and 2) to promote a balanced diet and an interest in science and research among children. ZELIAKIDE is an intervention aimed at children and focused on the school environment, and is based on Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) methodology. Inquiry-based Teaching-Learning Sequence (TLS) has been created to internalize and integrate competences related to celiac disease, gluten, gluten-free diet, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. In addition, this TLS aims to develop scientific competence through activities that promote science and the research process. Although nutrition education programs for children have proven to be effective, it has been observed that children's interest in science has decreased. The investigators therefore aim to implement a nutrition education programme based on previous experiences that promotes science skills and stimulates children's interest in science.
Introduction: Flexion contracture is one of the most frequent complications in finger trauma. The use of orthoses to obtain the best total end range time (TERT) is the most popular method to treat this pathology . Until now, no orthosis applied for longer than 3 weeks had been able to achieve TERT longer than 12 hours. Purpose of the study: To assess whether the elastic tension digital neoprene orthosis (ETDNO), using a serial dynamic program, can achieve a better result in ROM and TERT than other orthoses described in the literature. Methods: analysis of outcomes in a sample of 30 patients with PIP joint flexion contracture treated with the ETDNO and serial dynamic program.
