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.
multi center study with randomized controlled trial design, split mouth
Subtalar fusion is commonly performed in post-traumatic subtalar osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, tarsal coalition and primary subtalar osteoarthritis. Patients with osteoarthritis or severe dysfunction involving both the ankle and the subtalar joint may benefit from an tibiotalocalcaneal fusion (TTC) or an ankle replacement and subtalar fusion. With the development of new prosthetic designs and of surgical techniques, total ankle replacements (TAR) became a reasonable alternative to fusion with functional and quality of life improvements. A gait analysis of patients that underwent TAR and simultaneous subtalar fusion allows to study with precision and reliability the ankle range of motion (ROM). On the contrary, in healthy subjects or in patients that underwent isolated TAR this is not possible because the ankle ROM is influenced by the ROM of the subtalar joint in such a way that it is not possible to analyze the two joints separately. Also, excluding the role of the subtalar joint, it is possible to accurately analyze and compare the consequences on ankle kinematics of two different prosthetic designs.
A pilot, randomized, case-controlled trial was conducted in 60 children affected by AG (< 7 days) with mild-moderate dehydration, according to WHO recommendations, from1 year to 17 years old. Patients were divided into 2 Groups: Group 1 consisting of 30 children treated with Actitan F and standard oral rehydration (SOR); Group 2 consisting of 30 children who received only SOR. Both groups received treatment for seven days, respectively. Patients of Group 1 stopped for their own choice, SOR after the first 24 h and continued only with Actitan F.
Starting from the observation that acute anal fissure (AAF) in 6-8 weeks can heal spontaneously and that some of the commonly used commercial products in clinical practice would seem to be useful, the rationale of the comparative study is to try to identify, in compliance with the protocol of Helsinki (2013), the most effective short-term treatment for the disappearance of pain in defecation and cessation of bleeding, shortening the duration of the healing process and favoring the patient's rapid return to his / her activity, respect for patient safety.
XIENCE 28 Global Study is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial to further evaluate the safety of 1-month (as short as 28 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in subjects at high risk of bleeding (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the approved XIENCE family (XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS], XIENCE Alpine EECSS, XIENCE PROX EECSS, XIENCE ProA EECSS or XIENCE Sierra EECSS of coronary drug-eluting stents
This is a single-arm, phase II trial (monocentric) study designed to determine To evaluate activity of Cabozantinib in terms of ORR according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria in Metastatic Collecting Duct Renal Cell Carcinoma
This clinical investigation is intended to demonstrate the acute safety and effectiveness of ablation with the TactiCath™ Contact Force Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ (TactiCath SE) for the treatment of drug refractory recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). This clinical investigation will be conducted under an investigational device exemption (IDE) and is intended to support market approval of the TactiCath SE ablation catheter in the United States. One hundred fifty six (156) subjects will be enrolled at up to 35 investigational sites in the US, Europe, and Australia. This clinical investigation is sponsored by Abbott.
Study to investigate if the study drug ticagrelor and ASA is more effective than Placebo (inactive tablet) and ASA in preventing new stroke events
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is often characterized by the presence of balance and cognitive impairments. Cognitive functions play a key role in balance control. Simultaneously performing cognitive tasks decreases walking and balance ability (Dual-Task cost). Rehabilitative treatment of patients with MS does not have to consider separately the motor and cognitive aspects. Video-Game Therapy (VGT) is a novel tool that allows a multimodal training approach. VGT typically provides augmented feedback during training that can contribute to learning motor skills. The main objective of this exploratory study will be to test the effects of a commercially available VGT on balance and cognitive function in ambulatory MS patients compared to a standardized balance platform training (BPT). Secondary, we will explore the effects of VGT and BPT on other domains that are usually impaired in MS population and that can be improved by motor rehabilitation, such as psychological well-being, fatigue and Quality of Life.
Patients who underwent surgery for deep endometriosis were submitted to procedures aiming at sparing the pelvic autonomic nervous system. They were observed prospectively followed and interviewed in order to evaluate functional outcomes after surgery.
