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.
The aim of this study is to compare Mydrane ®, mydriatic eye drops and Mydriasert ® in terms of pupil site stability, surgical time, visual field and anterior chamber configuration modifications among primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients during cataract extraction surgery.

Early after the videolaryngoscope'(VDL) introduction in clinical practice, the awake videolaryngoscopic (A-VDL) intubation took place with and instead of the awake video-bronchoscopic (A- VBS) intubation. The awake intubation is a safe profile technique that was underused since the only instrumentation available was the fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) or more recently the video-bronchoscope (VBS). With the VDL diffusion, the awake intubation option has eventually turned into a more utilized procedure, with the potential to become a daily procedure. This was also due to dexmedetomidine (DEX) introduction in The Operating Room pharmacopeia. Several steps must be standardized in order to homogeneously apply an awake intubation protocol. A department protocol is recommended (awake intubation guidelines) but a low threshold for enrollment can be used to shorten and standardize the execution times. This study aims to create a protocol and measure the outcomes.
Background: Optimal pain control with limited muscle weakness is paramount for a swift initiation of physical therapy and ambulation. Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) has been recommended since it offers the best pain control with low risk of motor block. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block has been proposed as an effective alternative to FICB that offers similar pain control with a considerably lower risk of motor block. This study aimed to compare the afore mentioned blocks and determine which one yielded the lowest NRS score.
Researchers are looking for a better way to help people with any known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) scheduled for a "contrast-enhanced" Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI is used by doctors to create detailed images of the inside of the body to identify health problems. Sometimes doctors need to inject contrast agent into a patient's vein to perform a so called "contrast-enhanced" MRI (CE-MRI). Such CE-MRI examinations may support doctors to identify certain health problems or improve the evaluation. The contrast agents commonly used in MRI are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). GBCAs contain a "rare earth" element called gadolinium (Gd). Gadoquatrane is a new contrast agent under development with a lower amount of Gd needed per CE-MRI. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether CE-MRI scans with gadoquatrane work better than MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent (GBCA). The researchers will compare the ability to detect known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) with gadoquatrane-MRI scans to plain-MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent. The participants will undergo 2 MRI scans, one with gadoquatrane and one with currently used GBCA. Both contrast agents will be injected into the vein. Each participant will be in the study for between 6 and 42 days with up to 7 doctor visits. At the start or during the study, the doctors and their study team will: - take blood and urine samples - do physical examinations - check blood pressure and heart rate - review the MRI scans obtained in the study and decide on the diagnosis - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.

the purpose of the present registry is to describe the epidemiology of forearm deformities in patients with Hereditary Multiple Exostoses and to identify, independent predictors of severity of the disease and potential association with genotypic patterns
Among advanced resection techniques, endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR) allows closure and full-thickness resection by the use of the non-exposed full thickness resection device (FTRD). The study is a retrospective analysis of technical failure occurring during colorectal full-thickness resection. Full thickness resection is a safe and effective procedure for "difficult" colorectal lesions. However, technical failure can occur and to date there is no evidence about type and clinical consequences in this setting.
Periodontal regenerative therapy has focused on various non-surgical and surgical treatment methods. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has shown to possess multiple uses, including properties that promote healing of both soft and hard tissues. In the present study, we hypothesized that the addition of PRF into periodontal pockets, as an adjunct to conventional scaling and root planing (SRP), would enhance the outcomes of non-surgical periodontal therapy. This split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial included 26 periodontal pocket sites in 13 patients with periodontitis. The pockets were randomly assigned as either test or control sites. In the test group, PRF was placed as an adjunct to SRP, while the control group received SRP alone. Probing pocket depths (PPD), clinical attachment levels (CAL), gingival recession (GR), plaque index (PI), and gingivitis index (GI) were measured at baseline and at six weeks. The wound healing index was measured during the six-week follow-up period.
The objective of this before-after non-randomized trial study is to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound therapy in combination with manual therapy in the management of systemic sclerosis patients with IDU. The main questions it intends to answer are: • Is this combination of treatments effective in these patients in terms of improvement in hand functional ability, pain relief, injury healing, and quality of life? Participants will receive rehabilitation treatment consisting of a combination of manual therapy (McMennel joint manipulation, pumping, and connective tissue massage) and US water immersion. The researchers will compare the group of participants, called the treatment group, with a control group to see if: • Is the combined treatment of ultrasound therapy and manual therapy more effective in these patients than manual therapy alone?
