There are about 21071 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Spain. 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.
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) encompass various conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint and associated tissues, often causing or being associated with other symptoms such as jaw pain, myofascial pain, neck pain, and headaches. TMDs are classified according to the DC/TMD instrument in which the joint and pain axes are evaluated. However, there is no evaluation of mandibular function, and TMDs can result in a decrease in jaw strength and resistance. This leads to an increase in the chewing fatigue. Reliable and time-effective diagnostic methods for evaluating masticatory function are crucial in the clinical setting because of the high prevalence of TMD. Chewing efficiency is essential for food preparation and nutrient absorption, and muscle fatigue is a common problem affecting chewing ability. Despite this, there is a lack of validated tests to evaluate chewing fatigue in patients with TMD, which makes its consideration unnoticed in clinical practice. The modified six-minute functional chewing test (F-6MMT) was proposed as a tool to evaluate chewing ability and fatigue in patients with TMD. This test is an adaptation of a previously designed test in which subjects with mitochondrial pathology were evaluated; however, the subjects were not instructed to perform functional chewing during the test. In this version, modifications are added so that the test is as functional as possible, allowing chewing to be evaluated in a standardized way, and cut-off points established between healthy subjects and subjects with TMD in terms of chewing capacity in general and fatigue in particular. This study will follow standardized reporting guidelines and recruit participants from diverse clinical settings.
The goal of this retrospective study is to identify the incidence of hernia recurrence following the application of Histoacryl® Lapfix - Cannula for laparoscopic mesh fixation in patients undergoing hernia repair surgery. All adult patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with Histoacryl® Lapfix - Cannula in the period June 2018 - March 2021 at Hospital San Juan de Dios will be analysed. The investigator team will access electronical medical records for the cohort of patients identified.
The objective of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of acetic acid in patients suffering from chronic cutaneous ulcers with biofilm. The primary question it seeks to address is whether acetic acid (as a 2% topical solution) is superior to the current standard treatment for chronic cutaneous ulcers with biofilm at our center (Prontosan®). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the acetic acid solution treatment or the standard current treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare outcomes in the treatment of proximal femur fractures. The main question it aims to answer is whether the use of a double cephalic screw prevents nail failure (cut-out). Participants will be treated using open reduction and internal fixation with a proximal femoral nail. Researchers will compare intramedullary nailing with a single cephalic screw (Gamma nail) and with a double cephalic screw (Chimaera nail) to see the cut-out rate.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine if accelerated flap coverage compared to standard flap coverage timing leads to improved infection-related complications in patients with open fractures and/or dislocations below the knee. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either a flap within a goal of 72 hours of injury or standard of care flap timing for the institution. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status 6 months after randomization. Components of the composite outcome will be hierarchically assessed in the following order: 1) all-cause mortality, 2) amputation related to injury, 3) re-operation for infection and/or flap complication (flap compromise, partial and/or complete flap failure), and 4) days in hospital, defined as days in an acute in-patient hospital (i.e., not rehab or nursing facility).
This study is a retrospective study trying to find the predictive factors for medullary thyroid aggressiveness in terms of tumor metastasis and patients' survival.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of GGON to decrease the maladaptive beliefs associated with orthorexia nervosa (ON) in non-clinical adult population. Specifically, a randomized controlled trial with crossover assignment design and two groups (experimental and control) will be carried out in adults aged 18-65 years to assess the changes pre and post use the app. It's expected that after the use of the GGON app for 15 days are, at the primary level: decrease in the degree of ascription to dysfunctional beliefs associated with ON; and at the secondary level: decrease in orthorexia nervosa symptomatology, in eating symptomatology and in obsessive beliefs; increase in self-esteem; and no changes in drepessive symptomatology. These results are also expected to be maintained in subsequent follow-ups, at 15 days and a month after to finish the app in experimental group, and 15 days after to finish the app in control group.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the natriuretic effect of intravenous acetazolamide in patients admitted with heart failure and persistent congestion despite treatment with intravenous furosemide and sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (iSGLT2) inhibitors. The main question it aims to answer is whether there is a difference in natriuresis 48 hours after acetazolamide association to medical treatment recommended by the guidelines (furosemide and ISGLT2).
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of the HistoSonics Edison System for the destruction of pancreatic adenocarcinomas using histotripsy.
To explore the impact of early transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of acute functional mitral regurgitation after myocardial infarction on the combined incidence of death and heart-failure associated hospitalisations at one-year follow-up, and quality of life and LV remodelling at two-year follow-up.
