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.
The use of mobile applications to promote the practice of physical activity has begun to be used in the adolescent population in recent years. This has made it possible to carry out interventions inside and outside the educational setting, the latter being the ones that have brought the greatest benefits. Thus, it has been observed that the promotion of the use of mobile applications in out-of-school hours from the subject of physical education has reported significant benefits on body composition and fitness in the adolescent population. However, there is no known research that has analyzed whether the effect achieved with mobile applications when their use is mandatory disappears when they are no longer promoted from the physical education subject. Therefore, this project goes further and tries to find out whether after the ten-week period of mandatory use of the applications, adolescents continue to use the applications autonomously and the beneficial effects achieved are maintained or disappear due to the lack of use. For this purpose, a 10-week intervention was planned in which the adolescents used the mobile applications. Prior to the start of the intervention, the adolescents' body composition and fitness (pre) were measured. At the end of the intervention of mandatory use of the mobile applications, the adolescents were measured again (post). And after the post measurement, the adolescents were left for 10 weeks during which they could use the applications autonomously. A third measurement of the adolescents was performed after this 10-week period (post 2). The aim of this project was to find out the effects of stopping the use of the mobile fitness apps on body composition and fitness of the adolescents.
GOIZ ZAINDU ("caring early" in Basque) is a pilot study to adapt the Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER) methodology to the Basque population and evaluate feasibility and adherence to a FINGER-like multidomain intervention program. Additional aims included the assessment of efficacy on cognition and collecting data to design a large efficacy trial.
The study is a prospective, controlled, randomized two-arm longitudinal crossover trial, performed in a single-centre. Hence, the investigators designed a clinical study aimed to investigate the effects of a daily intake of soffritto in overweight or obese class-1 individuals without other cardiovascular risk. After a run-in period of two-week, participants were randomly separated in two different intervention sequences (two-arms) of six-weeks in which volunteers were administered with a soffritto (100 g/day) or a control group (without soffritto). After the first six-week period, participants had a wash-out phase of two-week followed by a second six-week period in which groups exchanged their interventions. During the duration of the study, the volunteers were asked to maintain their usual diet, excluding raw or cooked tomatoes, as well as tomato-based products (sauces, ketchup, juices, etc.) other than those administered during the study in the corresponding periods.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the optimal frequency for sharp debridement in promoting the healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the comparative effect of weekly sharp debridement versus biweekly sharp debridement in combination with conventional treatment on granulation tissue and healing time in patients with DFUs? 2. What is the optimal modality or frequency of debridement based on the location of the DFU? Participants (ulcerated diabetic patients) will: - Undergo sharp debridement on a weekly basis (Group A). - Undergo sharp debridement on a biweekly basis (Group B). Researchers will compare Group A (weekly sharp debridement) with Group B (biweekly sharp debridement ) to see if the frequency of sharp debridement has a significant effect on granulation tissue and healing time in diabetic foot ulcers. In each group, there will be patients with ulcers in different locations (toes, metatarsal heads, and midfoot/hindfoot) to assess the effect of debridement based on the lesion location
Epicondylitis is one of the most common pathologies in tennis players. The search for an effective treatment is necessary for the relief of symptoms and the return to sports practice. Therefore, a ddry needling treatment in combination with electricity is postulated as an alternative to isolated dry needling treatment or conventional physiotherapy treatment. Data will be collected in relation to pain and muscle activation by EMG in order to check the effectiveness of these techniques as well as the muscle activation that is generated.
Based on the available literature, application of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation interventions targeting peripheral nerves (also called percutaneous neuromodulation) has shown positive effects for improving pain-related and functional outcomes in musculoskeletal chronic pain. Studies investigating the use of this intervention for the shoulder are lacking.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a virtual reality (VR)-based program designed for cognitive stimulation in individuals attending the conventional cognitive rehabilitation program at the Day Hospital of CSSC (Centro Sociosanitario El Carme) in Badalona, Spain. The trial will specifically assess VR's impact on declarative memory and executive functions through interactive exercises, as well as attention and episodic memory through VR video stimuli. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will patients with mild cognitive impairment find the VR program enjoyable and easy to use? - Can VR interventions help improve patients' cognitive functions, specifically attention and memory? - Do healthcare professionals find VR a practical tool for cognitive stimulation in their clinical practice? Participants will undergo a series of 8 sessions, scheduled twice a week to coincide with the conventional rehabilitation appointments. The VR equipment used will be Oculus Quest 2 headsets, offering an immersive experience with hand-tracking technology that simplifies interactions, particularly beneficial for those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). During the study, participants will: - Engage with a VR-based cognitive stimulation program. - Undergo assessments of the participants´ cognitive functions before and after the intervention. - Provide feedback on the participants´ experience with the VR program. Researchers will analyze the data to see if: - The VR program leads to noticeable improvements in the cognitive abilities of participants. - The program is well-received and deemed beneficial by both patients and healthcare professionals.
Randomized, controlled, double-blind, single-center clinical trial with two parallel arms depending on the product consumed (experimental product and placebo product) to analyze the efficacy of a botanical extract in reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality.
Randomized, controlled, double-blind intervention study, with four parallel branches depending on the product consumed, to analyze the efficacy of different types of milks on the improvement of sleep quality.
Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (pPNS) is a physical therapy technique, whose main objective is to treat neuro-musculo-skeletal signs and symptoms by applying a current to a peripheric nerve with a blunt dry needle. Despite its clinical use being already stablished, its use in pathologic subjects is still unknown and, thus, so is its optimal parameterization. The present study proposes to perform two different protocols of peripheral nerve stimulation on neck and low back pain subjects to answer those questions and compared it towards a control group receiving a standard intervention.
