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 prevalence of low back pain is approximately 49% to 90%, and that 25% of patients seeking treatment for low back pain have a recurrence within the first year. Chronic non-specific low back pain is the most common of all types of pain, not being attributed to a specific pathological cause and with a minimum pain duration of 12 weeks. Forty percent of subjects with acute low back pain will develop chronic low back pain. Exercise is recommended for the treatment of chronic low back pain because of significant improvements in pain and disability over other therapies, but the evidence is low in the treatment of subacute or acute pain, as exercise appears to be equally effective over rest. Motor control is based on the contraction of the deep and stabilising muscles of the lumbar spine (multifidus and transverse abdominis), performing simple voluntary contraction exercises and increasing (without losing this contraction) their difficulty and functionality. At the beginning, the patient must be able to maintain the isometric contraction of the deep muscles while breathing normally. On the other hand, there is great difficulty in voluntarily contracting the multifidus muscles, especially for subjects with chronic non-specific low back pain, where arthrogenic inhibition hinders their contraction. The application of ultrasound as feedback may help patients to correctly contract this musculature. Our main objective in the study will be to measure and compare pain, disability, global impression of effect, in patients with non-specific mechanical chronic low back pain after applying a motor control exercise programme with and without ultrasound feedback. In addition, the investigators will compared this type of exercise with a conventional exercise programme.
The purpose of this study is to assess the applicability and potential benefits of Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) or Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet ("LANT) versus locoregional anesthesia (LRA) and tourniquet in osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures (DRF) during the immediate postoperative period. Our hypothesis is that being able to avoid the use of a limb tourniquet in such a procedure may cause less swelling and better surgical wound appearance in the immediate postoperative period, without compromising pain level, patient satisfaction, or improving the number of complications. In this regard, prospective randomized study was designed comparing short term results of patients who were operated using WALANT (A) to locoregional anesthesia (LRA) and tourniquet (B). Main outcomes were pain, swelling and patient satisfaction. Surgical wound bleeding,mobility, surgeon's technical difficulty, insufficient anesthesia and complications were also evaluated.
This a study of V116 in adults ≥50 years of age who previously received a pneumococcal vaccination ≥1 year before enrollment. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116.
To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program called "Cerdanya on fitness" based on the prescription of physical activity, healthy nutritional habits and the promotion of positive mental health, adapted to people with obesity to improve their lifestyle and psychoemotional wellbeing
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most performed surgical procedures worldwide. One of its most serious complications is injury to the main bile duct, with an incidence of less than 1%. There are different surgical strategies that try to reduce this complication, with indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography being one of the most recent to appear. This technique is becoming a great tool during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Despite the great rise of the procedure, today there is a great disparity in the administration protocols of indocyanine green during the procedure. Goals. The main objective of the study is to analyze whether there are differences between different types of doses and administration intervals of indocyanine green to obtain quality fluorescent cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In addition, the factors that influence the results of the technique will be sought.
The main aim is to evaluate sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in adults participants with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertions mutations during the 5 years before data extraction date (from 1-Jan-2017 to 1-Jan-2022). Participants will not receive any drug. This study will only collect the data from the medical records via chart review.
Endometriosis is a debilitating disease with features of chronic inflammation that affects 10-15% of women of reproductive age. Pelvic pain is one of the most common symptoms in women with endometriosis, and many of them report that it affects their quality of life. In addition, women with endometriosis, especially those with pelvic pain, also have an increased vulnerability to various psychiatric disorders, such as depression and anxiety. In this context, physical therapy can contribute to the multidisciplinary assessment and treatment of pelvic pain. In addition, manual therapy could improve certain variables related to central sensitization, such as inhibitory pain regulation and neuronal excitability in the dorsal horn of the medulla, in patients with chronic pain. Some prospective studies have applied manual therapy in patients with pelvic pain due to endometriosis, and have shown a trend towards improvement of pain and quality of life. Moreover, it is considered a well-tolerated and accepted treatment by patients. However, to date, it has not been investigated whether the application of a manual therapy protocol improves pelvic pain and other endometriosis-associated symptoms, lumbar mobility, medication intake, depression and anxiety levels, and quality of life in women with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain compared to a placebo treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the use of a pediatric exoskeleton on the quality of life of children, specifically in the psychological and care dimensions. Other objectives are to evaluate changes at the physical and functional level.
It has been shown that diabetic patients present a significant increase in markers related to oxidative stress, which increases even more in those with diabetic foot ulcers and gradually depending on the severity of the injury and inversely to the mechanisms of physiological antioxidants of these patients. Therefore, these patients present a situation of oxidative stress (high lipid peroxidation), with an insufficient level of antioxidant enzymes to reverse this state, which leads to maintenance of the inflammatory situation and therefore the chronification of the ulcer. Investigators' aim in this study is to measure the benefits that the application of the product with antioxidant capacity REOXCARE can bring, together with the usual good clinical wound care guidelines and other essential therapeutic activities, such as pressure relief in the area of the ulcers.
