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.
Studies suggest that chronic exposure to psychological stress can lead to oral health deterioration, alter the immune response, and possibly contribute to increased inflammation, which can impact the physiological healing of periodontal tissues. People with psychophysiological stress disorders tend to acquire unhealthy habits, leading to less self-care, incorrect nutrition, smoking, alcohol consumption, and reduced physical activity. This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the correlation between periodontal health and psychological stress. Patients between the ages of 35 and 70 will be recruited. Each patient must be visited and a periodontal assessment must be performed, recording the percentage of bleeding on probing and the Periodontal Screening and Recording (PSR). Subsequently, patients will be administered the Sheldon Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Mindfulness Awareness Attention Scale (MAAS) questionnaires.
The goal of this clinical trial si to compare two removable devices used to treat the transversal discrepancies in growing patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - the efficacy of the two devices in the palatal expansion - the neuromuscolar effects developed on the stomatognatic system Participants will be instructed in the use and maintenance of the devices and will be checked every 15-30 days for one year.
Adult patients with fibromyalgia or symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and comorbid obesity eligible to a very low calories ketogenic diet will be enrolled in the pilot study
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether is better to place KS Osstem Implants with BA or SA surface placed in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to compare clinical and radiographic data.
The purpose of this international cohort study is to validate a new method for preoperative assessment of endothelial viability in donor corneal tissues for transplantation, and to correlate endothelial health as assessed by the surgical team to functional and structural long-term outcomes in the cohort of patients receiving them.
The purpose of the study is the identification of novel micro-invasive predictors of pathological complete response (pCR) during neo-adjuvant therapy
The PRECISE study is a 12-week pilot intervention study to evaluate the usability of the new DigiPrehab technology application in elderly subjects. The DigiPrehab system will enable the early identification of seniors with significant risk factors for falling and will propose an individualized physical training plan at home.
This is an international, prospective study to assess the impact of concomitant early use of liquid biopsy (FoundationOne® Liquid CDx) within the diagnostic pathway, compared with the standard of care diagnostic pathway, on the timing of routine cancer care in treatment-naïve participants presenting with a clinical diagnosis of advanced cancer, where the pathologic diagnosis has not yet been confirmed. Participants with one of the following two clinical presentations will be included: participants with evidence of de novo metastatic lung cancer or participants with evidence of de novo metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. Participants may have undergone different levels of diagnostic workup prior to enrollment. Participants who have not had tissue biopsy performed prior to enrollment will be classified as 'basic workup' and those who have had tissue biopsy performed prior to enrollment will be classified as 'extended workup'. During the diagnosis period, eligible participants will undergo liquid biopsy (FoundationOne® Liquid CDx assay; as per label) on blood samples. Blood samples will be tested using the FoundationOne® Liquid CDx assay at a central laboratory. In parallel, participants will undergo the standard of care diagnostic pathway, including tissue biopsy and histology workup, if not already done before enrollment, and molecular workup according to ESMO guidelines or national guidelines for each tumor type included in this study. Once a complete pathologic diagnosis has been made, the investigator (or multidisciplinary team) can complete an anti-cancer treatment recommendation assessment. Anti-cancer treatment recommendation should follow current practice and professional guidelines based on the results provided by either liquid biopsy (as per label) or tissue biopsy/standard of care.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate safety and performance of GORE® ACUSEAL Vascular Graft for the treatment of CKD in patients with ESRD in hemodialysis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Safety: Freedom from device-related infection adverse events at 24 months from device implant - Performance: Secondary patency at 24 months from device implant. Participants, after informed consent is obtained, will be implanted with GORE® ACUSEAL Vascular Graft and followed for 24 months in standard of care, to evaluate safety and performance of the device.
This study is open to adults aged 18 years and older with bronchiectasis. People can join the study if they were previously enrolled in another study with BI 1291583 (1397-0012: Airleafᵀᴹ). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1291583 helps people with bronchiectasis, an inflammatory lung condition. The investigators also want to know how well people with this condition can tolerate BI 1291583 in the long term. Participants take a low, medium, or high dose of BI 1291583 as a tablet once a day for up to 1 year. Participants who were taking placebo in the Airleafᵀᴹ study are put into the BI 1291583 dosage groups randomly, which means by chance. Placebo tablets look like BI 1291583 but do not contain any medicine. Participants who were taking BI 1291583 in the Airleafᵀᴹ study continue to take the same dose. Participants visit the study site 9 times and get 4 phone calls from the site staff. During the visits, the doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. The doctors also check whether BI 1291583 helps reduce the symptoms of bronchiectasis.
