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 investigators are going to study all the patients who have undergone surgery at the MAZ hospital from 2019 to the present for knee replacement and hip replacement. The investigators want to analyze the results to see if applying the RICA clinical pathway results are better.
Beetroot juice supplementation has shown the capacity for provoking different physiological effects (e.g. vasodilation and muscle contraction increments). However, the effects of beetroot juice ingestion on neuromuscular performance in women older adults are barely studied. In this randomized placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effects of beetroot acute supplementation in improving neuromuscular performance in women older adults
Hyposalivation is a condition represented by a reduced salivary flow and may include symptoms such as mouth dryness (xerostomia), pain, loss of taste,dysphagia, and dysphonia, all of which greatly affect an individual's quality of life. The aim of the present study was analized the effects of low-level light therapy irradiation (photobiomodulation PBM) on salivary gland function in patients with hyposalivation
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a higher prevalence in the world population, especially in the elderly population.The main consequence of the alteration of DM is the increase in blood glucose levels. When the concentration reaches levels above 180-200 mg / dl after ingestion, the following symptoms appear: polyphagia, polydipsia, polyuria and weight loss. Diet, on some occasions, is the only therapy necessary. The commercialized formulas considered as "standard", have a high content of carbohydrates with a high glycemic index (approximately 50%) and low in lipids (30-35%) and do not usually contain fiber. This type of liquid formulations seem to increase the insulin and glycemic response in healthy people, and to a greater extent in patients with DM, compared to what would cause a similar intake of nutrients in a mixed diet. All diabetic formulas provide carbohydrates with low glycemic index. They are made from starches, with a variable contribution of fructose, which in all cases should be less than 20% of the total caloric intake, due to its lower glycemic index, its greater sweetening power and its entry into the cell is insulin-independent. However, it is necessary to determine the glycemic index of the new specific formulas for this population through clinical trials.Based on these initial facts, researchers consider it appropriate to carry out a pilot study to evaluate the glycemic index of a Oral Nutritional Supplement (ONS) especially indicated for diabetic people in a group of healthy people.
Background: During the curricular practices of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, students are prepared to carry out an adequate transition process to the professional role. The success of this preparation depends, to a large extent, on preceptorship. In this sense, it is important that practice tutors are motivated and feel competent to teach in the clinical setting. Despite this, no studies have been found that implement and evaluate an intervention to improve nurses' perceptions of preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students. Purpose: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a coaching programme to improve nurses' perceptions of preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students. Specifically, the aim is to determine the impact of the programme on nurses' perceived involvement, motivation, satisfaction, barriers and commitment to clinical mentoring. Method: An exploratory pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study. Fifteen nurses, the total population of nurses working in the medical-surgical ward, with at least 1 year of experience in the preceptorship of students, will be recruited in June 2022. All the nurses will receive an intervention based on coaching. The strategies of this program consisted of five 6-hour sessions using case studies and role-playing simulations to work on their motivation to develop their teaching role in the preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students and debriefing and a 4-hour booster session seven months later. The IMSOC (involvement, motivation, satisfaction, obstacles and commitment) instrument was used to assess outcomes. The primary outcome was the difference in the median of nurses' involvement, motivation, satisfaction, barriers and commitment in preceptorship students pre and post-intervention (between T0-T1 and T0-T2). Changes within nurses were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test for related samples.
Single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with two arms (product and placebo) to analyze the safety of beta-alanine consumption in active people.
Appropriate pain and anxiety management of critically-ill patients during bedside procedures remains a big challenge. Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend preemptive analgesia or non-pharmacological interventions, such as relaxation techniques or distraction, to prevent and treat pain during nursing procedures. One of the most painful procedures in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is the removal of chest drains in post-cardiac surgical patients. Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated simulation of a 360º immersive world in which the patient can receive visual and auditory stimuli that distract them from the real environment. Current research has demonstrated that VR reduced pain and anxiety in intravenous catheter insertions or wound care. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of VR on pain and anxiety during the removal of chest drains, in post-cardiac surgical patients. The hypothesis is that VR reduces both pain and anxiety, in critically-ill patients, during the removal of chest drains in post-cardiac surgical patients.
Aging causes various changes in the body. This, together with a sedentary lifestyle, can lead to health problems such as loss of muscle mass and strength, bone mineral density and cardiovascular capacity. Therefore, it is essential to remain physically active in adulthood. Outdoor fitness equipment offer a free and easy-to-use option for physical activity and health improvement. However, there are few studies that quantitatively evaluate the physical fitness and health improvement associated with the use of these parks. Hence, the main objective is: 1) To evaluate the effects of training on outdoor fitness equipment on different body composition and health-related fitness parameters.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results in lower cervical range of motion, size deep muscles, endurance, craniovertebral angle and cervical propioception by a training protocol with the new device for cervical treatment (CDAT) and the conventional training protocol (CT) versus a control group (C) in subjects with cervical deep muscle strength deficit.
