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 our study was to evaluate whether there is a higher prevalence of anxiety-depressive disorders in women with interstitial cystitis than in women with chronic non-neoplastic pain with or without fibromyalgia, to examine possible correlations between urological and psychiatric symptoms, analyze how urological symptoms affect psychological dimension, and how specific stress or trauma can contribute to the onset of interstitial cystitis.
Investigators conduced in the Neurological Rehabilitation Unit of the IRCCS "S.Maria Nascente - Fondazione Don Gnocchi", (Milan) a retrospective study on 19 patients hospitalized between September 2018 and February 2021, with the aim of comparing the efficacy of the two devices, MetaNeb® and Intrapulmonary Percussion Ventilation (IPV®). The efficacy was evaluated considering the change of various measures after two weeks of treatment. The main outcome considered is the atelectasis score, assigned by two radiologists who blindly and retrospectively evaluated it on high-resolution computed tomography (HRTC) images
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the immune response after COVID-19 vaccination in Liver(LT) and Kidney(KT) transplant recipient. The main question it aims to answer are: - the evaluation of the antibody response after complete vaccination - the efficacy of prophylaxis with long-acting-antibody prophylaxis (LAAB) All LT and KT patients during follow-up have been enrolled. anti-COVID-19 title was obtained by Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) Test(Elyx, Roche). In the case of antibody level <100 IU/ml, patients were invited to prophylaxis with tixagevimab-cilgavimab(AZD7442, AstraZeneca). At three months, a follow-up was performed to assess any COVID-19 infection. At Six months another anti-COVID-19 title is obtained by ECLIA Test(Elyx, Roche) in LT and KT who undergo to LAAB.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of Immersive Virtual Reality in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Could the immersive virtual reality application prevents or reduces anxiety, prevents or reduces fatigue, prevents or reduces pain, improves therapeutic adherence, prevents or reduces adverse events, then cancer patients treated with narrative medicine, and then cancer patients in standard care only? - Could the immersive virtual reality application show symptoms of cybersickness? Participants will be randomly allocated with balanced allocation ratio 1: 1: 1 into three groups: 1) Virtual Reality group; 2) Narrative medicine group; 3) Standard care group. In the virtual reality arm, patients will use a Virtual Reality headset. The multimedia contents in VR, will have a video quality from 4K to 8K, 360 degrees, and High Definition audio stereo. In control arm, patients will be free to choose different activities during the infusion of chemotherapy, such as conversation with nurses, doctors, trainees, reading, writing, watching television, listening to music or videos on their smartphone. In narrative medicine arm, patients will express their subjective experience regarding to the chemotherapy through writing. The experience will be written in free form by the patient and will cover both the cognitive, emotional and perceptual aspects. A nurse will always be available to guide the patient in the activity of expressing cognitive, emotional and perceptual contents. Researchers will compare the Virtual Reality group, Narrative Medicine group, Standard care group, to see the effects regarding to anxiety, fatigue, pain, improves therapeutic adherence and adverse events.
Patients with long lasting colonoscopy are characterized by higher risk of incompletion. Endorail is an accessory for colonoscopy aimed at facilitating progression of the endoscope in the large intestine. Endorail works as a magnetic anchor that is able to guide the colonoscope and to straighten colon curves and loops. The aim of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of Endorail in ensuring that incompletion rate in long-lasting colonoscopies is lower than the 10% threshold. Outpatients of either sex aged between 22-75 years undergoing elective diagnostic or surveillance colonoscopy with caecal intubation time greater than 10 minutes will take part in the study. The primary efficacy endpoint is the percentage minor or equal to 10% of incomplete long-lasting colonoscopies. The primary safety endpoints are the absence of device-related serious adverse events and the evaluation of the equality or reduction of the adverse events rates compared to diagnostic colonoscopies without Endorail.
The general objective of this study is to test the usability and efficiency of the SAVE prototype, a technology-based support for enabling older adults to keep their independent and active lives in their homes and maintain their social relationships for as long as possible.
To test the efficacy of a newly-commercialized formula, 40 HPV-positive women displaying chronic cervicitis, mild dysplasia or moderate dysplasia. Women in the study group took one tablet per day containing 200 mg of EGCG, 400 mcg of Folic Acid, 1 mg of Vitamin B12 and 50 mg of Hyaluronic Acid for twelve weeks. Women in the control group received no treatment.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects on motor and cognitive performance of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) compared to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and placebo stimulation (sham) in patients with neurodegenerative ataxia to identify a possible rehabilitation protocol.
The study compares the efficacy and safety of a Propionibacterium extract gel with 0.4% glyceryl trinitrate ointment in the treatment of chronic anal fissure.
The study will evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the association of Atezolizumab plus nabPaclitaxel in a real life context, in order to document any differences both in terms of activity and safety with respect to the knowledge of the association reported in the literature
