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.
Observational post-marketing study with prospective follow-up of CE marked medical devices aimed at the treatment of hyperopia and astigmatism in patients with cataract. The objective is to evaluate the clinical results of the implantation of the monofocal aspheric bitoric intraocular lens (IOL) with AT-TORBI 709 plate haptics in cataract surgery of hyperopic eyes with astigmatism.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate reduced corneal staining with use of Systane Hydration among subjects with dry eye disease (DED) undergoing routine cataract removal and monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial in which 18 patients affected with chronic traumatic incomplete cervical spinal cord injury will be randomized to either the active treatment (2 doses of intrathecal WJ-MSC 3 months apart) or to placebo (2 intrathecal infusions, 3 months apart). Thereafter, patients will be followed-up for 12 months for safety and efficacy assessment.
Diagnosis and treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinomas cause anxiety and depression. Additionally, these patients suffer hormonal alterations, associated with psychological symptoms (changes in mood, emotional instability, memory loss, etc.). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a psycho-oncological intervention based on Counselling to reduce anxiety and depression related with the treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinomas.
This is an observational, prospective follow-up post-marketing study of CE marked medical devices aimed at treating astigmatism in patients with cataracts. The main objective is to evaluate the response of the intrastromal arcuate incisions procedure for the correction of low corneal astigmatism with the Catalys femtosecond laser using the Cassini Ambient equipment with iris registration in cataract surgery.
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) offers an alternative to standard immunosuppression and shows an immunomodulatory rather than an immunosuppressive effect, which is associated with less toxicities and side effects. Additionally ECP has been shown to allow tapering of steroids and immunosuppressant agents which should be a goal of GvHD therapy. ECP has been used for the management of GvHD since first described in 1994 and as its use has continued over the decades. The treatment was incorporated into a number of guidelines as a second line therapy in steroid refractory or steroid dependent GvHD patients. As well as being used in addition and after steroids, it is also used in combination with CNI Inhibitors, MMF and other immunosuppressant agents. However, despite the current widespread use of ECP in the treatment of patients with GvHD, clinical data from randomized studies is limited and small prospective and retrospective trials are the main evidence base .This is also the case for other commonly used immunosuppressant agents, which have been used in GvHD since ECP was introduced. The systematic review concluded that ECP is an effective therapy for oral, skin, and liver SR-cGVHD, with modest activity in lung and gastrointestinal SR-cGVHD. In the USA Ibrutinib is the only FDA approved agent for second line cGvHD therapy once steroid therapy has failed and Ruxolitinib had been approved in the USA for the treatment of steroid refractory GvHD. While studies have shown the effectiveness and safety of ECP in GvHD treatment, there is limited data to show how it is being used in combination with the recently approved agents. Using existing registry data targeting centres where the newer agents are being used and enhancing the capture of treatment data we believe we can undertake a larger scale study, which will include the new treatment protocols. The aim of the current study is to improve the evidence basis on the potential benefit of ECP use as treatment of GVHD.
Celiac disease (CD) is an immunological disorder that mainly affects the small intestine, generating an inflammatory process in response to the presence of gluten (a protein). Autoimmune diseases are part of a group of diseases that are difficult to diagnose without a specific protocol or consensus to detect them due to the number of symptoms and diseases with which it has a relationship. The incidence of CD in Spain -according to data from the rest of the European Economic Community, since there is no study on incidence in Spain- is assumed to be approximately 1 per 100 live births. It is more frequent in women, with a 2:1 ratio. The only treatment consists of a STRICT GLUTEN-FREE DIET FOR LIFE. This results in the disappearance of symptoms, normalization of serology and recovery of intestinal villi. Failure to follow the diet can lead to important complications which, especially in adulthood, can manifest themselves in the form of osteopenia, osteoporosis and a high risk of neoplasms in the digestive tract, mainly. The main objective is to achieve a physical and physiological improvement in menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women. The specific objectives will be to know the influence of a dietary-nutritional program combined with physical exercise in menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women on: - Physical condition (strength, endurance, functional autonomy...). - Body composition. - Psychological aspects. - Physiological parameters (heart rate, maximum oxygen consumption, blood analysis...).
Approximately 100 patients undergoing oral surgery will be divided in 3 groups of musical audition to control anxiety: baroque (N=35), classicism (N=35) and control group (N=30). Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and Oxygen Saturation will be recorded.
This randomized clinical trial aims to validate and to establish indications for using implants with biological oriented preparation technique (I.B.O.P.T.) for implant supported prosthetic treatment as an option looking for better stability and control of associated soft and hard tissues compared with conventional implants and conventional abutments with finishing lines preparation technique.
Formal caregiving of elderly dependent people is a both physically and psychologically demanding job, and both musculoskeletal and mental disorders with a negative impact in general health and quality of life are habitual among eldercare workers. Previous research has shown that physical exercise programs can reduce and/or prevent those disorders, consequently improving well-being at work. Online exercise interventions might be a cost-effective tool, as they can reach a large number of people at a relatively low cost. Moreover, they are compatible with situations in which interpersonal physical distancing is required, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, real-time videoconference-based exercise interventions have not yet been studied in working populations. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of a real-time videoconference-based exercise intervention in eldercare workers. The primary outcome will be low back pain. Pain in neck, shoulders and wrists/hands will also be recorded, as well as additional measures of physical fitness, psychoaffective state, health and work-related variables. All outcomes will be measured at baseline and at 12-week and 48-week follow-ups.
