There are about 1441 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Croatia. 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 purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of ABP 206 compared with Nivolumab in Subjects with Treatment-Naïve Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma.
The goal of this prospective, randomized, double-blinded, head-to-head comparative study is to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided 4 ml 5% dextrose perineural injection versus 3 ml 5% dextrose with 1 ml 40 mg/ml methylprednisolone perineural injection in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in efficacy between interventions regarding 1. pain alleviation, 2. improvement in symptoms severity and functional status, 3. improvement in grip strength, 4. size of median nerve cross-sectional area, and 5. improvement in quality of life during the six-month post-intervention follow-up period?
The goal of this intervention study is to determine the effect of occlusal splint (OS) therapy on the concentration of inflammatory cytokines in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Aims are: - to determine cytokines level in GCF and serum before and after OS therapy - to determine the degree of psychosocial dysfunction and oral health-related quality of life before and after OS therapy - investigate the correlation between cytokines level in GCF and serum - to determine the effect of OS on treatment outcomes, pain intensity, dysfunction, and psychosocial status of patients with painful TMD. Participants will be asked to complete self-assessment questionnaires, and GCF and blood samples will be collected before beginning of the OS therapy and at follow-up examinations one month and two months after.
In this observational cross-sectional study " the clinical characteristics of adenoid vegetations in adulthood will be investigated.
The impact of the complex liver immunological network on sepsis outcome is largely unknown. Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is the most common chronic liver disease with prevalence of 25% in European countries. The question remains whether patients with SLD are more prone to bacterial infections and what is the impact of persistent liver inflammation to the systemic response to infection, sepsis course and outcomes. Semaphorins are a large family of secreted and membrane-bound biological response modifiers present in many organ systems that are associated with SLD and development of fibrosis, but also might regulate systemic immune responses in sepsis. This study will investigate the association of semaphorins with sepsis outcomes in patients with SLD.
Although the orofacial pain is not typical symptom of multiple sclerosis, more than 50% of the patients experience some kind of pain. Acute pain usually in form of trigeminal neuralgia, that occurred in 2-3% of patients with multiple sclerosis. Chronic pain occurred in 40-50% of patients and most common forms are headache. Aim of this study is to investigate prevalence and evaluate the form of orofacial pain in patients with multiple sclerosis treated in General hospital Varaždin in period from 01.01. 2017. to 31.12.2022. Results of this investigation will determine better understanding orofacial pain , treatment and impact on everyday life.
Bone healing after tooth extraction may be affected by defects in the buccal wall of the alveolus, such as fenestrations and dehiscences. Therefore, it is advisable to perform a surgical procedure such as guided bone regeneration after tooth extractions. Different biomaterials are used for this purpose. The aim of this study is to investigate the qualitative and quantitative histological changes in human biopsies taken after 6 months of healing of extraction sockets with buccal wall defects. For this purpose, the defects of 36 patients (18 per group) will be augmented with injectable biphasic calcium phosphate (I-BCP) or bovine xenograft (BX) after extraction. After six months of healing, bone biopsies will be taken and processed to the qualitative and quantitative histological analysis.
This is a study about the dynamics and effects of different types of blocks (intraoral conduction anesthesia of the alveolar nerve and extraoral US block of the mandibular nerve) for extraction of lower third molars.
In addition to the regular ASA classification, patients would also be assigned the Clinical frailty scale (CFS) during preoperative examinations in anesthesiology clinics. The aim is to compare the usefulness of ASA and CFS categorization for predicting perioperative and postoperative complications and length of postoperative stay in elective surgeries.
The aim is to identify the underlying disease mechanisms driving specific asthma phenotypes as well as certain disease outcomes and their relation to impaired indoor air quality. This may also help in underpinning specific target mechanisms in order to personalize and improve current treatment options in childhood asthma and develop more successful prevention strategies. This will be done by combining data from detailed clinical phenotyping with multiple -omics data.
