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 objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with riluzole versus matched placebo in combination with riluzole for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Opioids have been used for analgesia since many years, but despite potent analgesia they are also associated to side effects, including opioid induced Hyperalgesia (OIH). OIH in the surgical setting is debated, and may predispose patients to higher analgesic consumption in the preoperative period, and peripheral and central sensitization. The aim of the study is to compare remifentanil-based vs non opioid analgesia (clonidine, lidocaine, ketamine) for intraoperative management of patients undergoing laparoscopic left hemicolectomy, with the hypothesis that non- opiod treated patients will have lower morphine consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery. Peripheral and central hyperalgesia will be tested with Von Frey hairs and pin-prick to evaluate acute CNS (Central Nervous System) sensitization after surgery. Acute and persistent (1 and 3 months) pain will be registered, together with any side effect and parameters of surgical rehabilitation.
Direct Oral Anticoagulants were recently approved for medical treatment of several condition such as, non valvular atrial fibrillation, deep venous thrombosis, and others, substituting sometimes the conventional oral anticoagulants. The aim of the present study is to observe the possible difference in intra-operative and post-operative bleeding events for single dental extraction.

The aim of the present study is to observe the possible difference in intra-operative and post-operative bleeding events for periodontal debridement.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of Rhythmic Reading Training (RRT), a computer-assisted intervention method that combines sublexical reading exercises with rhythm processing, and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reading abilities of a group of Italian undergraduate students with dyslexia. Two experimental conditions (active vs. sham) will be compared. Finally, the effects of the intervention on other cognitive functions involved in the process of reading (i.e., rapid automatized naming, verbal working memory, rhythm perception abilities) will be measured.
The study proposes to compare performances and safety of intra-articular injections of aMAT with those of a control group (PRP injections) for the treatment of symptomatic OA of the knee. The end-points will be determined evaluating the performances of the treatment group in terms of improvement of the symptomatology, functional recovery and radiological appearance.
Validate the use of fetal urine peptidome-analysis and explore amniotic fluid markers for the stratification of fetuses with Posterior Urethral Valve for post-natal renal function.
This study compares the actual standard of care with a new protocol to guide hemodynamic optimization during major abdominal surgery, which is more tailored on patient real needs. During general anesthesia metabolic needs of the body are markedly reduced and increase in CO may not be necessary. In addition, excessive fluid administration has been related to worse post-operative outcomes. We divide patients into three groups: the standard treatment group, the NICE protocol group and the intervention group. In this group we use the v-aCO2/CaO2-CvO2 as marker of tissue ability to increase their oxygen consumption in response to increased O2 delivery, and based on this index the administration of fluid. The principal aim is to optimize functional hemodynamics in order to reduce the fluid balance at the end of the surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the safety of bioresorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting Synergy® stent followed by 1-month dual antiplatelet therapy in patients at high-bleeding risk. Study population: Real world high-bleeding risk (HBR) patients with coronary artery disease (stable as well as acute coronary syndromes) who qualify for percutaneous coronary interventions. Study size: A total of 1023 patients will be enrolled. Study design: Prospective, single-arm, multicentre trial, powered for non-inferiority with respect to objective performance criteria (OPC). Antiplatelet therapy: Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin 100 mg od and a P2Y12 inhibitor for a duration of 1 month, after which single antiplatelet therapy with aspirin will be recommended indefinitely. In case of need for oral anticoagulation, patients will receive an oral anticoagulant in addition to a P2Y12 inhibitor without aspirin for 30 days. Primary endpoint: Composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or definite/probable stent thrombosis at 1-year follow-up.
Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of a device with LU3103209 compound versus the same device, free of LU3103209 compound, in the local management of DFUs.
