There are about 2119 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Slovakia. 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 evidence suggests that multiple sclerosis (MS) induces a decline in motor and cognitive function and provokes a shift in gut microbiome composition in patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the effect of a 12-week dance class training program on the gut microbiota composition, motor function, and cognitive function of patients with MS. The investigators will also study the following: - The impact of organised physical activity on quality of life - The impact of organised physical activity on body composition and metabolic parameters (e.g., insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, ect.) - The impact of organised physical activity on physical fitness (e.g., VO2max, Power, ect.)
The goal of this clinical trial is to to compare the structure of the intestinal microbiome between children shortly after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (1-3 years after cancer treatment) and healthy controls. And then to provoke a positive shift of bacterial diversity by physical activity and probiotics in cured pediatric oncology patients with persistent gut microbiome disruptions. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are differences in bacterial richness between healthy controls and pediatric oncology patients ≥12 months after cancer treatment apparent? - Has the combination of physical exercise and probiotics had a positive influence on the structure of the gut microbiome in childhood cancer survivors in remission? Two times per week of physical activity and daily dairy consumption with probiotics will be required of participants for eight weeks.
Determining expiratory time constants in mechanically ventilated patients
Despite optimal anticoagulation therapy of patients with proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), there is still high number of patients suffering from post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) due to the chronic venous occlusion, suboptimal collateralization, and venous valvular dysfunction. Last two decades endovascular catheter-based treatment modalities have been tested and used in an attempt to reduce incidence and symptoms of PTS in selected patients. Especially, patients with extensive iliofemoral DVT have an increased risk of PTS. In an effort to accelerate thrombus dissolution or thrombus extraction, the endovascular removal of acute venous thrombus has been introduced as therapeutic option in patients with extensive iliofemoral DVT. Randomized trials of catheter-based strategies for thrombus removal have documented improved vein patency, preserved valves function, and reduced post-thrombotic syndrome. The aim of our study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of different types of endovascular methods of treatment followed by anticoagulation therapy in patients with acute extensive DVT. Retrospective multicentre analysis of app 100 patients scheduled for endovascular treatment of extensive DVT. The results of mechanical/pharmacomechanical thrombectomy followed by local catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT), will be compared with CDT alone, or with ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis. The 24-month incidence of PTS assessed by Villalta scoring system, major bleeding complications, the rate of venous recanalization, recurrence of DVT, and other end-points will be evaluated.
This will be a Phase I, multicentre, single-dose, non-randomized, open-label, parallel-group study to examine the PK, safety, and tolerability of camizestrant 75 mg in post-menopausal female participants with moderate or severe hepatic impairment compared with post-menopausal female participants with normal hepatic function. Participants will be enrolled within the following groups based on their CP classification score as determined at screening: - Group 1: Matched-control healthy participants with normal hepatic function. - Group 2: Participants with moderate hepatic impairment (CP Class B, score of 7 to 9). - Group 3: Participants with severe hepatic impairment (CP Class C, score of 10 to 15).
The primary objective is to assess the PK of apraglutide in subjects with hepatic impairment compared with matched control subjects with normal hepatic function following single SC dose administration.
This study aims at assessing the reduction of consumption of corticosteroids (same mid-potent corticosteroids for all patients) afforded by the use of a specific emollient in comparison to the usual one in subjects suffering from atopic dermatitis.
The objective of this 3-month observational study was to assess, in 2827 adults, the benefit of NP alone or as adjunctive or maintenance care in mild acne, or as adjunctive care in subjects with moderate acne.
The study compares two semaglutide medicines and looks at how well they control blood sugar levels, in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants will either get the currently available semaglutide or the semaglutide which is produced through a new manufacturing process. Participants need to take one injection of semaglutide once a week, on the same day of every week. Participants will have a total of 11 clinic visits and the study will last for about 35 weeks (approximately 8 months).
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The clinical picture is very variable, ultimately resulting in disability. Disease attacks manifest themselves depending on the location of the CNS damaged by inflammation, demyelination, axonal loss and gliosis. The most common manifestations include motor disorders with the development of stiffness, balance and coordination, cognition, fatigue and depression. In the long term, most patients with MS will achieve significant and irreversible incapacitation. Immunomodulatory therapy is designed to reduce disease activity, slowing progression, but only to a certain extent. A significant benefit, but little researched, is physical exercise. Tai Chi has a positive effect on various neurological diseases. In recent studies, Tai Chi has shown improvements in coordination and balance, depression, anxiety, cognition and overall quality of life in patients with MS. The aim of the project is to assess the therapeutic value of structured Tai Chi exercise based on published clinical work.
