There are about 21062 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Italy. 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.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is characterized by pain over the greater trochanter, which can refer down the lateral aspect of the hip. Historically, conservative treatments such as rest/activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, physiotherapy and local corticosteroid injection, are employed as first-line management, with some refractory cases requiring surgical intervention. Acknowledging the unpredictable response and frequent recurrences associated with traditional non operative treatment, the risks and prolonged rehabilitation associated with surgery, and the favorable results from prior studies involving radial pressure waves as a treatment for GTPS, the aim of this study is to investigate the dose-related effect of focalized shockwave treatment at different total energy influx in patients with chronic GTPS.
The aim of this study was to evaluate if the positive effects recorded on glycemic control with CSII were maintained on the long term compared to multi-daily injections (MDI). The secondary objective was to evaluate if there is a reduction of type and number of cardiovascular events (CV) in CSII group compared to MDI group after 8 years of observation. This retrospective, observational trial evaluated 104 diabetic patients with prior treatment with MDI initiating CSII therapy compared to 109 diabetic patients continuing MDI.
To evaluate the use of damage control surgery by performing bowel resection and laparostomy in the treatment of Hinchey III or IV diverticulitis.
The first 1,000 days of life, from the conception to 24 months, are crucial to achieve long-term health outcomes and represent a strategic period to intervene under prevention and public health perspective. Nutritional exposures during this critical period of life can influence the future disease susceptibility. Maternal diet during pregnancy has been linked to offspring overweight/obesity risk and it could represent a potential target for overweight/obesity prevention. The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is considered one of the healthiest dietary models, which impacts beneficially the gut microbiome (GM), providing high amounts of fiber, antioxidants polyphenols and vitamins, and a balanced ratio of essential fatty acids (ω6:ω3). Notably, the MD beneficial effects are due to the synergistic and interactive combinations of nutrients, and the modulation of gene expression through epigenetic changes. Unofrtunately, the MD mechanisms during pregnancy in the prevention of childhood overweight/obesity are not yet fully known.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of ipatasertib + paclitaxel versus placebo + paclitaxel in participants with histologically confirmed, locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and in participants with locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor positive (HR+)/ human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast adenocarcinoma who are not suitable for endocrine therapy.
The study is designed to determine if ZS 10g administered up to three times over 10h added to insulin and glucose in patients presenting with hyperkalemia will prove tolerable and efficacious. Patients will receive ZS or Placebo on top of standard of care treatment with insulin and glucose.
This study was undertaken to evaluate bone response in metastatic prostate cancer patients treated with Enzalutamide with or without Zoledronic Acid in combination with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue with the use of Whole Boby (WB) DW-MRI.
Background: An imbalance between prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the mesolimbic reward system has been suggested to contribute to GD. GD patients showed increased functional connectivity between regions of the PFC and mesolimbic reward system, as well as reduced connectivity in the area of the PFC. The altered interaction between prefrontal structures and the mesolimbic reward system in GD shares similarity with functional organization reported in Substances Use Disorders (SUDs), suggesting a more general pathophysiology for addictive disorders Objectives: To test if rTMS can reduce craving and playing in Gambling Disorder, and also affect several mood, behavioral and cognitive alterations associated with prolonged Gambling Disorder. Eligibility: Healthy, right-handed adults ages 18-65 who do have Gambling Disorder. Design: This is a non-randomized, open label study. The study includes three phases: 1) a rTMS continued treatment phase; 2) a rTMS follow-up; and 3) a no rTMS follow-up. Prior to participating, participants will be screened with: - Questionnaires - Cognitive tests - Medical history - Physical exam After being enrolled, baseline behavioral and imaging data will be collected. In particular, participants will undergo: - Questionnaires - Cognitive tests During the continued rTMS phase, participants with Gambling Disorder will receive real rTMS. Repetitive TMS will be delivered during 10 outpatient treatment days, over 2 weeks (5 days/week). Following this phase, subjects will have 12 follow-up visits (once/weekly), during which they will receive rTMS, and behavioral assessments will be performed. At the end of the rTMS follow up period, participants will further receive 3 follow up visits (once a month), during which rTMS will not be performed, but behavioral data will be collected. Treatment includes: - rTMS: A coil is placed on the head. Brief electrical current passes through the coil. At each visit, participants will receive two rTMS sessions, with a 1hr interval between sessions. At the beginning of each rTMS session, they view gambling-related images for few minutes. - Repeat of screening tests and questionnaires
The persistence of blood may significantly affect final sealing with the persistence of microleakage (Zmener et al. 2008, Roggendorf et al. 2007). In cases of copious bleeding from root canals, calcium hydroxide, anesthetic solution with 1:50,000 epinephrine or ferric sulfate placed on a sterile paper cone, are recognized as effective hemostatic agents (Magnusson 1971, Kouri et al. 1969, Dannenberg 1974). The purpose of this study was to test the reduction of root canal bleeding in terms of significant percentage change for millimeters of blood in the canal at 2 different time points (baseline and after treatment with HybenX )
To compare efficacy between zanubrutinib versus bendamustine and rituximab in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL, as measured by progression free survival assess by Independent Central Review.
