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.
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is predicted to become the fourth leading cause of disability worldwide by 2020. and is estimated to affect more than 40 million people in Europe and 4 million people in Italy. OA has multifactorial etiology and obesity is one of the most important risk factor for knee Regarding therapy of OA in 2014, the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) published a treatment algorithm for the management of knee OA. In Step 1 of the treatment, it is recommended to initiate therapy with chronic symptomatic slow-acting drugs for osteoarthritis (SYSADOAs). Among SYSADOAs, the evidence is greatest for the effect of chondroitin sulfate (CS). Sixty overweight subjects with knee osteoarthritis (OA) were recruited and randomly allocated to a group of treatment with 600 mg/d of non-animal Chondroitin sulphate (CS) or to a placebo group. These measurements were considered: Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring (TLKS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis (WOMAC) index and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain were analyzed at time 0 and at 4 and 12 weeks. Health-related quality of life by ShortForm36, inflammation by C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) were also evaluated, together with a body composition assessment performed by DXA.
This study evaluates the effects of Nickel oral hyposensitization treatment (NiOHT) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients suffered from Systemic Nickel Allergy Syndrome (SNAS).
The WIN Study is a prospective, interventional, multi-center, open-label premarket study designed to confirm the safety, performance and intended use of the WISE Cortical Strip (WCS) for CE certification purposes. Participants with documented diagnosis of epilepsy or brain tumor requiring intracranial surgery, who meet all eligibility criteria, will undergo IntraOperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) during a neurosurgical intervention with the WCS and a comparator device.
This study is designed to describe the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V114 in children with sickle cell disease.
NeoTapAdvancedSupport (NeoTapAS) is a free-of-charge mobile application that showed good accuracy in HR estimation. This study aims to evaluate the impact of NeoTapAS on timing of HR communication and of resuscitation interventions in a high fidelity simulation scenario.
This is a phase 3 double-blind randomized study to study the efficacy and safety of intravenous ATB200 Co-administered with oral AT2221 in adult subjects with Late Onset Pompe Disease compared with Alglucosidase Alfa/placebo.
This study evaluates if promotion of a normocaloric and balanced diet and of physical activity, through an individual- or group-based lifestyle intervention of 12 months, may affect anthropometric measurements and metabolic profile in obese children.
Validation of the cross-cultural adapted Italian version of the Oxford Elbow Score, in order to have an instrument able to detect the functional state reported by patients after elbow surgery.
Memory priming under general anesthesia is a phenomenon of incredible interest in the study of consciousness and unconscious cognitive processing, and for clinical practice. However results from anesthesiological literature are divergent and methodologies vary. To overcome these limits, the present study aims at better defining the phenomenon of memory priming under general anesthesia, manipulating as experimental variables both the anesthetic drug used and the stimuli primed.
The study involves the isolation and cellular, molecular and proteomic characterization of synoviocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes from tissue samples obtained from patients undergoing surgery of endo or arthroplasty for osteoarthritis (Experimental Group) or interventions for other causes such as for example periarticular fracture requiring the implantation of a prosthesis (Control Group)
