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.
This study focuses on electromyographic analysis of upper limb muscle activation in stroke survivors during Motor Imagery (MI) and Action Observation (AO) rehabilitation techniques. By measuring muscle activity in the wrist and finger flexors and extensors, the research seeks to understand the impact of MI and AO on motor function recovery post-stroke. Conducted at the University of Salamanca, the study involves stroke survivors participating in a series of three experimental sessions. The analysis will correlate electromyographic responses with functional independence, limb functionality, and cognitive factors. The research aims to contribute to the fields of occupational therapy and physiotherapy, offering insights into effective rehabilitation methods for improving quality of life in stroke survivors.
Cancer is a disease, or a set of diseases, that increased in our society. However, improvements in their detection and treatment increase the number of patients who survive. Every year 2.6 million people are diagnosed in the European Union and 1.4 million become cancer survivors. However, these people suffer the late adverse effects of treatment that can seriously affect their quality of life. the most common late effects are pain, fatigue, and sleeping difficulties. These are estimated between 58-90%. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) appears to play an important role in the manifestation and perpetuation of these symptoms.
Depression is a first level problem that poses a challenge for Primary Care (PC). The overload of care in this area requires lower-cost and more accessible alternatives. Internet-based self-applied cognitive behavioral treatments (CBCT) have demonstrated their efficacy and added advantages. The "Smiling is fun" program has been validated in Spanish PC and has demonstrated its usefulness and cost-effectiveness. Previous studies have shown that professional support or guidance increases the results of the TCCI. The aim of the present study is to contrast, by means of a randomized controlled trial, aims to examine the effectiveness, adherence rates, and implementation process of Smiling is Fun to address depression in a PC setting considering the influence of telephone support vs no support. Ultimately, the results of the study could help in the uptake of sustainable resources so that the population could gain better access to psychological interventions in mental health services.
The study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab, referred to as study drug. The study is focused on patients with previously treated aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose cancer has stopped responding to treatment (also known as 'refractory') or has returned (also known as 'relapsed'). The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is compared to standard of care (SOC) therapy. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug versus SOC - How much study drug is in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects) - Comparing the impact from the study drug versus SOC on your quality-of-life and ability to complete routine daily activities
The goal of this observational study is to assess the clinical outcomes of binocular implantation of Asqelio EDOF Toric IOLs in healthy cataract patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the visual performance at different distances 3 months after implantation of Asqelio EDOF Toric in both eyes? - What is the amount of residual refractive error following the implantation? - What is the contrast sensitivity of patients 3 months after implantation of Asqelio EDOF Toric in both eyes? - What is the optical quality of the eye implanted with Asqelio EDOF Toric IOL? - What is the incidence and severity of visual symptoms after implantation of Asqelio EDOF Toric? - What is the level of patient satisfaction after implantation of Asqelio EDOF Toric? For this purpose, participants will be submitted to a comprehensive visual and refractive assessment, following common clinical practice, 3 months after binocular implantation of Asqelio EDOF Toric IOLs, and asked to complete visual symptoms and patient satisfaction questionnaires.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare and test the efficacy of two treatments for plantar warts. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which treatment has a higher cure rate for eliminating plantar warts? Which treatment causes less pain during the procedure? Participants with plantar warts will: Be randomly assigned to receive either cryotherapy or laser therapy Undergo 4 treatment sessions at weekly intervals Have their warts assessed for complete clearance after treatment Rate their pain levels during each session Researchers will compare the cryotherapy and laser therapy groups to see if there are differences in: Rates of complete wart clearance Pain levels reported during treatment Adverse effects
The goal of this observational prospective and analytical study is to validate that the device is a valid tool for improving the adequacy of referrals to dermatology. As a secondary objectives the investigators set out to validate that the device reduces costs in secondary care; to validate that the device reduces dermatology waiting lists and to validate that the device optimizes clinical flow in Osakidetza. The primary care physician will explain to the patient what his/her participation in the study will consist of by means of the Patient Information Sheet. The patient, in turn, will be able to ask all the questions he/she considers appropriate in order to clarify all his/her doubts regarding the study. If the patient wishes to participate in the study, he/she will sign the Informed Consent Form and will be assigned a study code. After signing the informed consent, the data collection process begins. The Principal Investigator and/or collaborating investigators assigned to this task will collect demographic data (age, sex) and data related to the diagnosis, characteristics and treatment of the pathology. Primary care physicians should take photographs showing the areas affected by the pathology. These photographs will be taken with their own smartphone or using a mobile dermatoscope if the use of a mobile dermatoscope is clinically relevant. The primary care physician, will record the photographs periodically, uploading the images to a Google Drive folder that the study sponsor will enable at the beginning of the study. The photographs are named using a code that includes the patient ID (NNN) and photograph number (nn). Primary care physicians will assess the patient's pathology as they would in a routine consultation and record their diagnosis and referral criteria, and associate them with the patient's photographs and demographic data to be collected by the research team telematically at the end of the study duration. These information transfers and the storage of the photographs will be in line with the European Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data and the Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights. The specialist physicians will have a period of one month after the end of the recruitment period to evaluate and label the photographs taken. In this labeling process they will record their diagnosis, and whether they consider that the referral has been appropriate or not. This information will be collected by the research team telematically at the end of the study duration. This transfer of information and storage of the photographs will comply with European Regulation 2016/679, of 27 April, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data and with Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights.
LASN01 is a novel, fully human antibody directed against the human IL-11 receptor being developed for treatment of patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). The primary and secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of LASN01 administered IV in patients with TED with no prior anti-IGF-1R treatment or in patients with TED who have previously received teprotumumab treatment.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declares the Coronavirus disease pandemic 2019. Intensive Care Units deal entirely with patients with pneumonia complicated by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, requiring aggressive respiratory treatments with long periods of connection to mechanical ventilation, sedation and immobilization, contributing to the onset of acquired critical patient muscle weakness (IAPD). IUCD is a frequent complication in intensive care units, with an incidence of 11-67%¹. Of multifactorial cause, immobilization or "bed-rest", the use of corticosteroids and neuromuscular blocking agents have been described as factors directly related to this syndrome. Several studies have shown that mobilization of the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome, even with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is safe, feasible and beneficial for the patient. Bedside cyclo-ergometry has been associated with a reduction in the degree of sarcopenia, contributing to the recovery of the critically ill patient. Several studies document that bed cyclo-ergometry is safe and feasible in critically ill patients within the first week of admission to intensive care, but few clinical trials exist.
Chronic low back pain is one of the main causes of pain, dysfunction and disability worldwide. In Spain, 93% of the population has had back pain in the last year, and it is estimated that 50% of sick leave is due to this cause. This entails a great socioeconomic burden, since it is the main cause of absenteeism from work and the excessive use of therapeutic services. Musculoskeletal disorders are related and associated with psychologically stressful jobs, that is, with psychosocial factors at work and related work stressors, such as time pressure, low job control, poor social or supervisor support, effort-reward imbalance or work-life conflict. Clinical management of both situations encompasses a variety of approaches, including medication and early physical exercise, which have shown promise in reducing pain and improving function. A novel approach to address these problems is the use of Xiaxi, a patented postural hammock with multiple angles of inclination that promotes relaxation and elongation of the posterior chain, thereby improving overall well-being. Combining the use of Xiaxi with a comprehensive program of strengthening, stretching and relaxation exercises could offer benefits in the prevention and reduction of back pain.
