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 purpose of this study is to determine whether autologous transplantation (using the patient's own stem cells from the blood), followed by non-myeloablative (i.e. less intense) allogeneic transplantation (where the blood stem cells from a sibling donor are used for the transplantation) improves the outcome in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
The goal of the study is to assess autonomic nervous system and cardiovascular controll during orthostatic challenge in 90 patients recovered from COVID-19 and devided into three groups depend on severity of the morbidity.
Objective: Veno-venous ECMO has been used as a rescue therapy for patients with severe ARDS associated to influenza A H1N1 and COVID19 viral pneumonia. Little is known about outcome of these patients who required extracorporeal support. Research question: To compare outcome of patients who required VV ECMO for Covid19 and H1N1 associated ARDS
The "static" single-leg stance has been extensively studied in the literature for its relevance in functional evaluation, therapeutic exercise, sports training and research for fall prevention (particularly for the elderly and patients with neurological diseases). However, the motor strategies of the supporting limb have been investigated only at the ankle level. In particular it is not known, at the hip, how the muscular system reacts to medial and lateral imbalances. Colonna has hypothesized, basing on a myofascial chains approach, that the balance is managed by the front and back spiral chains. The aim of the present study is to perform a preliminary experimental analysis to verify Colonna's hypothesis, testing a method for the investigation of motor strategies underlying equilibrium. Five healthy subjects will be examined by means of electromyographic analysis of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, adductor longus, tibialis anterior and peroneus longus. Subjects will undergo perturbations of their monopodal balance.
The investigators retrospectively investigate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and therapeutic interventions of patients with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure admitted to the intensive care units in South Tyrol, Italy.
Hospitalized patients for Covid-19 are extremely isolated from their families for a long and uncertain period of time .This traumatic separation makes patients vulnerable to different degrees of stress disorders as well as depression and anxiety , fear of the unknown and dying, sleeplessness, agitation, discomfort, pain, immobility, frustration and inability to relax . MusicTtherapy has been shown to play a valuable role in the care of patients with serious illness, helping to address physical symptoms and psychological distress . The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of introducing Music therapy (MT) on site with Covid-19 patients as a supporting complementary/non-pharmacological intervention, to investigate the immediate effects a single MT session has on anxiety, heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (O2Sat) and satisfaction compared to standard care. In order to verify the hypotheses of the study, an RCT (mixed-methods approach pre -post design) will be carried out on patients diagnosed with SARS-COV2 admitted to Covid Hospital Bari, randomized into two groups: control group (B) and treatment group (A). . The study starts on 15th April 2021 and it is expected to run for 1 mounth (15th May 2021). The study is funding by University of Bari.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VX-121/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor (VX-121/TEZ/D-IVA) in CF participants who are homozygous for F508del, heterozygous for F508del and a gating (F/G) or residual function (F/RF) mutation, or have at least 1 other TCR CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation and no F508del mutation.
The RESTART/RICOMINCIARE study is a pilot single-center, not controlled prospective, pre-post intervention study aimed at verifying feasibility and safety of a device-supported home rehabilitation for people suffering from mild to moderate disabilities due to respiratory or neurological conditions, related to Covid-19 or frailty condition (i.e. Parkinson Disease).
The main objective of this study is to investigate the humoral immune response to COVID-19 vaccines in haematological patients, by testing SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion
Primary objective: To obtain data pertaining to the safety and tolerability of alglucosidase alfa and laronidase treatments administered in a home-care infusion setting. Secondary objectives: - To evaluate personal satisfaction of both cohorts of patients treated in a home-care infusion setting. - To evaluate the infusion compliance in both cohorts of patients treated in a home-care infusion setting.
