NCT ID: NCT06330311 Not yet recruiting - Muscle Spasticity Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Whole-Body Vibration

WBVibration
Start date: March 29, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Cerebral Palsy is the most common cause of severe physical disability in childhood and may present difficulties and limitations that will have an impact on their independence and integration in all social areas. Within interventions aiming to manage CP Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) has shown some benefits such as reducing spasticity or improving strength and functionality of the lower limbs. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness on motor function and spasticity of the lower limbs by adding an intervention with WBV to an evidence-based multimodal physiotherapy treatment in children with CP.

NCT ID: NCT06327672 Not yet recruiting - Coronary Disease Clinical Trials

INOCA National Registry

ESP-INOCA
Start date: March 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Coronary atherosclerosis is the most common cause of ischaemic heart disease. About 40-50% of patients with symptoms and documented ischaemia on non-invasive tests do not show obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary angiography. This cause of ischaemic heart disease called INOCA (Ischemic Non-Obstructive Coronary Artery), far from having a benign prognosis, is associated with an increase in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) as well as increased functional limitation. The current European Society of Cardiology clinical practice guidelines for the management of chronic coronary syndrome establish for the first time a IIa recommendation for the invasive analysis of coronary flow reserve (CFR) and microvascular resistance index (MRI) in symptomatic patients with INOCA. The acetylcholine (Ach) test, based on intracoronary (ic) administration, is established as indication IIb for the assessment of micro or macrovascular vasospasm in patients with suspected vasospastic angina (VSA) (4). A national multicentre registry would allow us to determine the prevalence of INOCA and its different endotypes in our setting.

Start date: May 6, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this observational study is to validate the content of a tailored ICF core set for the management of musculoskeletal conditions in primary care physiotherapy services. The main question it aims to answer is: - Are the ICF entities included in the ICF Core Set under evaluation useful from a clinical point of view? Participants will evaluate the relevance of each ICF entity included in the ICF core set according to their musculoskeletal condition.

NCT ID: NCT06326151 Not yet recruiting - Intervention Clinical Trials

Interdisciplinary Psychoeducational Intervention Programme for Caregivers of Dependent Older Adults

Start date: September 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Caring for an older dependent adult with cognitive impairment can have negative consequences for the family caregiver. Interdisciplinary interventions are necessary to address their needs jointly and comprehensively. While attempts have been made to improve their situation from different disciplines in isolation, a collaborative approach is required to ensure the best possible outcome. Methods: A parallel, randomized, controlled clinical trial with two arms will be conducted at the Occupational Therapy Teaching and Care Unit (UDATO) and the Municipal Psychosocial Support Unit for the Elderly (UMAPS), both of which belong to the University of Salamanca and are in agreement with the City Council of Salamanca, Spain. The trial will also be conducted at the University Care Centre of Salamanca (CAUSA). People aged 60 years or older will be recruited as family caregivers of dependent older adults with cognitive impairment in a chronic situation. Participants will be divided into two groups: the intervention group (IG) will carry out an interdisciplinary psychoeducational programme from the perspective of psychology and occupational therapy, and the control group (CG) will carry out a controlled follow-up. Participants will complete 12 sessions over a period of 3 months, followed by three monthly reinforcement sessions after the intervention. At the beginning and end of the intervention, participants will be assessed and socio-demographic data will be collected along with the following scales: the Spanish version of the Caregiver Burden Interview (CBI), the Spanish version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), the Psychosocial Support Questionnaire adaptation (PSQ), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment - AGE (WHOQOL-AGE) and the Bayer-Activities of Daily Living Scale (B-ADL). Discussion: The objective of this study is to enhance conventional clinical practice for family caregivers of dependent older adults. This will be achieved through an interdisciplinary psychoeducational intervention that aims to reduce overload and depressive symptomatology, increase social support, improve health and perceived quality of life, and enhance understanding of the syndrome/illness. The intervention will also focus on managing difficult situations associated with day-to-day caregiving, managing emotions and associated erroneous beliefs, and promoting self-care. Additionally, the study aims to improve the functionality of the cared-for person.

NCT ID: NCT06323031 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Disorders of Consciousness

Spontaneous Eye Blinking in Disorders of Consciousness

Blink-DoC
Start date: May 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Differential diagnosis between Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome (UWS) and Minimally Conscious State (MCS) is complicated due to severe cognitive and/or sensorimotor deficits in these patients. In this study the investigators aimed at exploring the diagnostic and prognostic validity of spontaneous eye blinking parameters (rate, amplitude, duration, variability) in a sample of patients with Disorders of Consciousness (DoC). This is a multi-center prospective observational study conducted in patients with Severe Acquired Brain Injury (sABI) and DoC admitted to 8 European participating centers, with clinical data collection not deviating from routine practice. The study is non-commercial and will have a maximum total duration of 24 months.

NCT ID: NCT06322719 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Respiratory Failure

Hyperangulated vs Macintosh Blades for Intubation With Videolaryngoscopy in ICU

INVIBLADE
Start date: May 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Tracheal intubation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with high incidence of difficult intubation and complications. Videolaryngoscopes (VLs) devices have been proposed to improve airway management, and the use of VLs are recommended as first-line or after a first-attempt failure using direct laryngoscopy in ICU airway management algorithms. Although until relatively few years ago there were doubts about whether videolaryngoscopes had advantages over direct laryngoscopy for endotracheal intubation (ETI) in critically ill patients, two recent studies (DEVICE (1), INTUBATE (2)), and a Cochrane review (3) have confirmed that videolaryn should be used?, and what is the best blade? . There are two types of blades commonly used with videolaryngoscopes: the "Macintosh" blade with a slight curvature, and hyperangulated blades. The "Macintosh" blades have a lower angle of vision, but they have the advantage of being similar to the blades commonly used in direct laryngoscopy, making them easy to use for the person performing the ETI. Hyperangulated blades have a greater angle of vision, improving glottic visualization, especially in patients with an anterior glottis. However, the need to overcome this angulation could potentially hinder the passage of the endotracheal tube to the vocal cords. It is unknown if either blade has any advantage for intubating critically ill patients.

NCT ID: NCT06315842 Not yet recruiting - Acute Disease Clinical Trials

Levels of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Intervention in Hospitalized Patients

NIT
Start date: April 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the impact of implementing a tool for adjusting the level of diagnostic and therapeutic intensity in the clinical practice of physicians attending hospitalized patients. The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the impact of a tool for adjusting diagnostic and therapeutic intensity in hospitalized patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a difference in patient mortality when using the aforementioned tool? The participating physicians will be grouped into 4 groups (5 physicians each). Each group will progressively (every 3 months) incorporate the use of the aforementioned tool into their usual clinical practice.

NCT ID: NCT06314022 Not yet recruiting - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

A Mobile Application to Improve the Quality of Colonoscopy in Colorectal Cancer Screening Program (PrepColon APP)

PREPCOLON
Start date: May 2, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Colonoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis and resection of preneoplastic lesions, allowing the prevention of colon cancer. A colonoscopy is more efficient with proper preparation of the colon, as it allows for a higher rate of adenoma detection and cecal intubation. In routine practice, up to 30% of colonoscopies are poorly prepared and 11% of patients do not show up for their appointment. Adenomas not visualized in the initial colonoscopy due to poor preparation reached 68% and the rate of undetected cancers was 66.7%. A proper colon cleanse is conditioned by different factors; among them, failure to comply with the diet and take laxatives poses 5 times the risk of having a deficient colon preparation. The purpose of our study is the design and implementation of an app that facilitates the preparation of colonoscopy and evaluates its impact on compliance with diet and laxative intake.

NCT ID: NCT06313827 Not yet recruiting - Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Trials

e-Health Program to Prevent Exacerbations in the Cystic Fibrosis Population

Start date: March 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to analyse the impact of a telematic assessment and monitoring protocol in people with cystic fibrosis, in order to identify exacerbations early, thus preventing loss of lung function and maintaining quality of life. Participants will be assigned to one of 3 study groups: Control group (CG-1): will receive their usual physiotherapy treatment; Treatment group (TG-2): will receive their usual physiotherapy treatment, plus explanation of the use of the monitoring equipment; Treatment and follow-up group (TGF-3): will receive their usual physiotherapy treatment, plus explanation of the use of the monitoring equipment, plus telematic control of exacerbations with feedback from the physiotherapist.

NCT ID: NCT06311240 Not yet recruiting - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

Chronic Pain in Patients in Hemodialysis

DolERC
Start date: March 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Pain is one of the most common symptoms among patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and often goes unrecognized or inadequately managed in hemodialysis patients. More than 50% of patients undergoing hemodialysis suffer from pain, with 75% of them being treated ineffectively due to healthcare professionals' lack of awareness of this symptom. Therefore, pain management in this population is a complex and challenging task for healthcare providers. The most prevalent pain syndromes in hemodialysis patients include musculoskeletal disorders, metabolic neuropathies, in addition to typical intradialytic pain. The aim of this study is to assess the presence and characteristics of chronic pain in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis to determine whether it is relevant to include the management of chronic pain in the holistic treatment (physical activity, nutrition, and psychological support) already being implemented in various studies for these patients.
