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.
Compared to healthy subjects, central and peripheral sensitization will be investigated in patients with non-specific shoulder pain, since no data is available at the moment. The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) will be administered to assess sensitization in patients and controls, and changes in the mechanosensitivity of the upper limb will be assessed by checking for mechanical allodynia, hyperalgesia, and wind-up related to peripheral sensitization. Chronic pain mediators factors such as anxiety, depression, catastrophization, self-efficacy, and kinesiophobia will be investigated through validated rating scales. The Vagus Nerve neurodynamic test (VN-NDT) will be performed to assess any HR variability reduction related to stress mechanisms typical of chronic pain conditions. Finally, to health status of participants, following the biopsychosocial model, the Generic Core Set of the International Classification of the Functioning of Disability and Health (ICF) will be assessed.
The study aims to evaluate the effects of Insulin Degludec/Liraglutide on glycemic variability assessed by continuous glycemic monitoring with the function time in range, serum markers of inflammation, markers of endothelial dysfunction and a possible correlation with intra and extra-hospital mortality rates in a group of hospitalized diabetic patients compared to a control group of in-patient diabetic in treatment on insulin Basal-bolus.
CKJX839D12303 is a research study to determine if the study treatment, called inclisiran, in comparison to placebo taken in addition to statin medication can effectively reduce the total amount of plaque formed in the heart's vessels as measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) from baseline to month 24. This study is being conducted in eligible participants with a diagnosis of non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD), where the coronary arteries are blocked less than 50%, and with no previous cardiovascular events.
The study is designed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of decitabine repurposing against advanced, refractory, ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with molecular transcriptional signatures indicating dependency on the KRAS oncogene
Observational, prospective, cohort study to evaluate, by an opportunistic screening program based on vascular ultrasound, the prevalence and characteristics of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) and Popliteal Artery Aneurysm (PAA) in a female population as well as the prevalence and characteristics of PAA in male population.
People affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection, whether patients have developed mild forms or a severe form of the disease, complain of nonspecific and entirely new symptoms or complain about the persistence pf them.Investigators intend to follow over time the post-infectious phase of patients discharged from sub-intensive care unit. The aim is to identify symptoms and their frequency of presentation in the SARS-CoV-2 population in the post-acute period.
In this study the investigators focused on duodenal perforations, requiring a tube duodenostomy and have analyzed the main features, that have influenced the surgical choices. Five patients were enrolled. Most of duodenal perforations can successfully be managed by simple repair, while complicated procedures are needed for complex injuries. Tube duodenostomy is a damage control procedure, for large duodenal perforations when further repair techniques are not recommended due to the duodenal damage, hemodynamic instability of the patient or the absence of surgical expertise for complex reconstruction.
The primary objective of this study will be to study the correlation between implant position (malposition), evaluated through periapical radiographs of peri-implantitis vs healthy implants, and the occurrence of peri-implant biological complications such as peri-implantitis, as evaluated after at least 6 months from the placement of the prosthesis. The clinical records of all subjects treated with implants during the period between January 1st, 2005, and June 30th, 2021 (last follow-up included: 6 month visit on December 2021) in the Dental Clinic of the IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi (Milan, Italy) will be screened for inclusion. Will be included 45 implants with peri-implantitis and 135 healthy implants regardless of the corresponding number of patients . Descriptive statistics will be provided by means of mean values and standard deviations. Correlation between baseline parameters and outcomes will be measured through regression analysis, being the independent variable the occurrence of peri-implantitis. Multilevel analysis will be performed. For all the analysis, the level of significance was set at p<0.05. For sample size calculation the investigators have considered alpha = .05, power = 80% and a proportion between controls and cases of 3:1. The investigators hypothesized a detection of an effect of malposition with a proportion of 0.25 of exposes in control group and 0.5 in test group. the investigators decided to include 45 implants with peri-implantitis and 135 healthy implants, after augmenting the numbers hypothesizing a maximum of 10% dropouts. The proportion of exposed are estimated on the basis of the study published by Yi et al. in 2020 . The calculation was performed using the method proposed by Schoenfeld.
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacodynamic effects of PTC518 compared with placebo in participants with HD.
The aim of the study is to define the relationship between neutrophils, platelets and the activity of T lymphocytes in patients with NAFLD (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease). This study may predict, in the course of hepatic steatosis, specific phenotypic patterns expressed by PMNs and circulating platelets to evaluate their role in disease progression.
