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.
Spinal anesthesia has long been considered the first choice technique in caesarean section, but although it is a reliable and safe procedure, it is in some cases associated with undesirable effects. Maternal hypotension after sub-arachnoid anesthesia is a reduction in systolic blood pressure below 100 mmHg or a decrease of 20% compared to baseline values. According to some authors, maternal hypotension occurs up to 80% in women undergoing caesarean section after spinal anesthesia. In order to reduce the incidence of maternal hypotension, some measures can be taken: - a reduction of aorto-caval compression by manual displacement of the uterus on the left; - hemodynamic monitoring; - administration of fluids; - optimization of the dosage of the local anesthetic; - use of vasopressors. The main objective of the study is to investigate, through the use of a continuous non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system (Clearsight® - Edwards Lifesciences), the incidence of hypotension in pregnant women at risk undergoing spinal anesthesia due to elective cesarean section.
The combination of PECS II and parasternal Block provides analgesia after radical mastectomy
The study is a placebo controlled study, with two parallel arms, in which participants will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either active (200 mg safinamide) or placebo in a double blind manner. Study population is patients diagnosed, with possible or probable parkinsonian variant of Multiple System Atrophy who are on a stable treatment of levodopa
Non-profit observational study on the role of the community pharmacist and the "pharmacy of services" in the case management of the diabetic patient
The objectives of this randomized withdrawal study are to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the combination of relugolix, estradiol (E2) and norethindrone acetate (NETA), once daily, for up to 104 weeks in patients with uterine fibroids who have completed a total of 52 weeks of treatment, including a 24-week treatment period in a parent study (study MVT-601-3001 or MVT-601-3002) and a 28-week treatment period in the open-label extension study (MVT-601-3003), and who meet the definition of responder, defined as a patient who demonstrates a menstrual blood loss of < 80 mL and at least a 50% reduction from parent study baseline menstrual blood loss volume on the alkaline hematin analysis of the feminine products returned at Week 48 in the extension study.
A Phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ampreloxetine (TD-9855) in subjects with primary autonomic failures (MSA, PD, or PAF) and symptomatic nOH with up to 4 weeks of treatment.
Glaucoma is an eye disease that results in damage to the optic nerve that progresses over time. One of the main risk factors in glaucoma is an increase in intraocular pressure, caused by a build-up of fluid in the eye. Glaucoma can result in blindness if left untreated and as such it is extremely important to diagnose and treat the condition. Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a laser treatment that facilitates the outflow of fluid from inside the eye. This has the potential of reducing the intraocular pressure within the eye (the main way in which this disease is treated since there is no cure) and may assist in helping to control the progression of this disease. SLT (standard treatment) is a technique routinely carried out by glaucoma specialists. It is conducted using a special type of lens (goniolens) that gently sits on the front surface of the eye. The procedure takes approximately 5 minutes in duration. This new treatment, Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) is performed directly, without there being any need to use a goniolens which sits on the eye, and it is a shorter and simpler technique to conduct when compared to the standard SLT technique. The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that the treatment by new automated device for DSLT is not worse in comparison with the standard SLT and determine that it is effective in reducing intraocular pressure.
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-mechanism phase 2 trial investigating the effect of quinagolide extended-release vaginal ring on reduction of lesions assessed by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging in women with endometrioma, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and/or adenomyosis.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) of ravulizumab administered subcutaneously via an on-body delivery system (OBDS) compared with intravenously administered ravulizumab in adult participants with PNH who are clinically stable on eculizumab for at least 3 months prior to study entry.
Glycemia following pizza consumption is typically managed with a dual wave insulin bolus. This study evaluated the effect of a simple bolus on glycemia following consumption of traditionally prepared pizzas with long (22 hours) or short (8 hours) dough fermentation periods.
