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.
A phase III, open label, single arm, multi-centre, trial to assess the immunogenicity and safety of an additional dose vaccination with a recombinant protein RBD fusion heterodimer candidate (PHH-1V) against SARS-CoV-2, in adults with pre-existing immunosuppressive conditions vaccinated against COVID-19
This is a multicentric, randomized, blinded, controlled trial to study the effects of a new infant formula on the changes in the newborn body composition over time: weight gain, anthropometric data, incidence of infections, digestive tolerance (flatulence, vomiting and regurgitation), feces (consistency and frequency), behavior (restlessness, colic, nocturnal awakenings), count of probiotic strains of the intestinal microbiota in feces, safety and tolerability of the investigational products (measured as number, frequency and severity of adverse events in all branches of the study)
The project consists of studying the differences between neural gliding techniques of the sciatic nerve and passive stretching of the hamstring muscles in football players.
Background: Nurses, the usual leaders in the follow-up of chronic cardiac patients, need to improve their training so that they are in the best position to empower these patients. From this approach, health coaching is presented as an innovative and valid alternative. Despite this, no studies have been found that implement and evaluate this type of program in the hospital setting. Purpose: to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of this programme for the development of nursing capacity in health coaching with CHF (Chronic Heart Failure) inpatients. Method: An exploratory pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study. Nineteen nurses, the total population of nurses working in the cardiology ward, were recruited in September 2020. All the nurses received a multi-component intervention based on health coaching. The strategies of this program consisted in five 16-hour sessions using case studies to find out whether nurses were able to empower chronic cardiac patients and debriefing and a 4-hour booster session seven months later. The I-CEpSE instrument was used to assess outcomes. The primary outcome was the difference in the median of knowledge, skills and attitudes pre and post intervention (between T0-T1, T2-T3 and T0-T3). Changes within nurses were analyzed using U Mann-Whitney test for independent samples.
This is an observational retrospective cohort study to determine metachronous peritoneal carcinomatosis in a specific subgroup of colon cancer patients, those with a final pathologic exam corresponding to pT4 tumors. Based on a sample size calculation of 1152 patients, a retrospective review of a three year period of every participant hospitals, 50 in total, of different characteristics, was stablished. Demographic, clinical, operative, histologic and oncologic follow-up variables were recorded.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and quality of life of patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (SFM). Recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to an experimental group or control group (placebo). The experimental group will receive a standard Vestibular Rehabilitation program focused on eye stabilization and Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) gain with the aim of improving motor and sensory strategies, while the control group will carry out a conventional rehabilitation program that will not include sensory strategy training. The frequency of treatment for both groups will be twice/week, along with daily performing (2 times/day, 5 days/week) of exercises at home. The total duration will be 8 weeks. The outcome measure are: disease impact (FIQ), perceived vertigo (DHI), and confidence in balance (ABC), at pre-treatment, post-treatment, one month follow-up and three months follow-up.
Beneficial effects of moderate chronic consumption of beer have been extensively reported, however, the mechanisms have not been elucidated yet. Gut microbiota is an important mediator in the homeostasis of the host. Polyphenols act as bacterial substrates and modulators of the gut microbiota. Indeed, the investigators have previously observed that the chronic moderate consumption of red wine by metabolic syndrome patients triggered in an amelioration of the metabolic syndrome variables, and this effect was mediated, at least partially, by the interaction of the gut microbiota with the polyphenols of the red wine. In this manner, beer has a medium content of polyphenols. Thus, the investigators propose that the beneficial effects of moderate chronic consumption of beer could be because of the action of the gut microbiota with the beer polyphenols. The investigators are going to perform an intervention study in which normal volunteers will consume three different beer types with different content in polyphenols and it will be analyzed the gut microbiota profile (Metagenomics), metabolites (Metabolomics) and metabolic syndrome markers (gene expression, ELISA) to establish the correspondent relationships, trying to decipher the implication of the gut microbiota in the beneficial effects of moderate chronic consumption of beer.
Introduction: Venous access is increasingly necessary and essential in healthcare institutions, where more than 75% of hospitalised patients have some type of vascular access device cannulated. Due to their pathophysiological characteristics and pharmacological needs, some patients require special catheters, such as midline or peripherally inserted central catheters. In an attempt to reduce the main complications related to these, the safety of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive has recently been demonstrated in the post-insertion treatment of vascular access devices. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the use of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive as fixation in the post-insertion of cannulated middle and central venous catheters with modified micro-Seldinger technique in acute hospitalized patients. Methods: Randomised clinical trial with two groups(1:1): control and intervention. The control group received a cure with sutureless device plus transparent membrane and the intervention group received the same cure plus the cyanoacrylate glue. The study was approved by the Drug Research Ethics Committee of the Lleida health region. health region. KEYWORDS: Cyanoacrylates; Vascular Access Device; Catheterization, Peripheral; Nursing Care; Randomized Controlled Trial.
We aim to optimize the radiological selection and the transfer model in patients with a 6-24h stroke for a fairer and broader access to a reperfusion treatment. The specific objectives are: 1. To confirm that the selection of patients for reperfusion therapies in the late window is safe by applying the same clinical and imaging criteria recommended by clinical guidelines for the early window treatment selection. 2. To evaluate the performance of non-contrast CT by applying immediate post-processing software for the selection of patients for reperfusion treatment in the late window. 3. To analyze the prehospital and arrival variables at the primary stroke center to generate decision trees that optimize the transfer decision in patients with activation of the stroke code in >6h from the onset of symptoms. METHODOLOGY: Study based on a mandatory, prospective, multicenter registry (CICAT registry) consisting of two phases 1. retrospective analysis with a detailed evaluation of the images of the included patients and generation of "machine learning" models that accurately predict the probability of receiving reperfusion treatment in the late window. 2. validation of the models in a prospective study. Clinical, radiological and transport variables will be studied. Response variables: rate of patients receiving reperfusion treatment in the late window, functional prognosis at 90 days, hemorrhagic transformation, and mortality.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous nivolumab vs intravenous nivolumab in participants with completely resected Stage IIIA/B/C/D or Stage IV melanoma.
