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.
Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancrepatography (ERCP) acute pancreatitis (PEAP) is a frequent complication of this endoscopic procedure. Chronic statin intake has been linked to lower incidence and severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). Periprocedural rectal administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is protective against PEP, but the role of chronic acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) treatment is unclear. The aim of the study is to investigate whether statins and chronic ASA intake are associated with lower risk of PEAP.
This is a low-intervention phase IV trial. The main objective is to optimize the treatment of patients with moderate-severe atopic dermatitis that require systemic treatment after failure, intolerance or contraindication to cyclosporine.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) have a critical effect on the health and neuronal development of the fetus and newborn. Their deficiency has been associated with increased neonatal morbidity, especially in preterm newborns at birth. Direct DHA supplementation during the first few weeks of life could prevent this deficiency. The aim is to increase DHA levels in the red blood cell membrane while maintaining the fetal proportion to AA in preterm infants through enteral administration of DHA/AA in a safe, tolerated, and effective manner. This approach aims to avoid the decline in DHA/AA levels and the consequences of their deficiency. The study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label study involving preterm infants admitted to the Neonatology Department of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the dissemination and implementation process of two transdiagnostic psychological interventions (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders-DBT-SUD and Unified Protocol-UP) to treat alcohol addiction by mental health practitioners in the Spanish National Health System. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Are there differences before and after receiving DBT-SUD and UP training in the attitudes toward evidence-based psychological treatments (EBPTs), level of burnout and organizational climate and readiness to implement the interventions in mental health practitioners working with alcohol addiction? What is the degree of acceptability and intention to use the interventions in clinical practice with people with alcohol addiction of the practitioners after each training (DBT-SUD and UP)? In what degree the implementation outcomes (adoption, reach, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, sustainability) will be achieved by the practitioners implementing DBT-SUD and UP in clinical practice? What are the main barriers and facilitators that practitioners will encounter during the process of implementing DBT-SUD and UP in clinical practice? What variables will predict a successful implementation considering previous characteristics of the professionals and the organizational outcomes? The study comprises two phases. In the first phase, mental health professionals working on addiction services of the Spanish National Health System will be randomly assigned to receive training in one intervention and then the other (DBT-SUD and UP) and will be evaluated before and after each training. In the second phase, participants will be randomly assigned to implement one intervention first and then the other in their workplaces with people with alcohol addiction and will be also assessed before and after the implementation. Qualitative and quantitate outcome measures will be analyzed using a Mixed- Methods-Design.
INTRODUCTION: Clubfoot, drop foot or clubfoot, is a disorder that prevents reaching 100º of dorsiflexion actively. Its etiology is varied, and may be due to congenital problems, direct alteration of the bone structure, spasticity or shortening of the posterior musculature (triceps suralis), a neurological factor or a combination of several. Thus, we can differentiate between congenital clubfoot and acquired clubfoot. Stroke is one of the main causes of acquired clubfoot, which is due to paralysis of the dorsiflexor musculature and/or spasticity of the plantar flexor musculature. Electrical stimulation is able to increase muscle activation by depolarization of the motor plate and modulation of nerve conduction. This can be done transcutaneously, through surface electrodes or percutaneously through needles, so neuromodulation is presented as a tool applicable to the pathology of the equine foot, if we take into account the increased activation of the dorsiflexors of the foot. OBJECTIVE: The main objective is to evaluate which of the techniques, percutaneous or transcutaneous, is more effective for the approach of clubfoot in post-stroke patients. METHODOLOGY: a clinical trial with randomized probabilistic assignment in four groups is proposed: G1 (percutaneous neuromodulation): patients will receive a needle circuit approaching the deep peroneal nerve in an ultrasound-guided manner. They will receive a 20-30Hz symmetrical biphasic current; G2 (transcutaneous neuromodulation): patients will have a superficial electrode circuit placed over the belly of the tibialis anterior muscle. They will receive a symmetrical biphasic current of 20-30Hz; G3 (placebo-percutaneous group): in which the patients will receive the neuromodulation circuit with needles at 0 intensity; G2 (placebo-transcutaneous group): the patients will receive the electrodes at 0 intensity over the belly of the tibialis anterior muscle. The variables to be analyzed are: anthropometric variables (age, weight, height, BMI), muscle oxygenation (SatO2, O2Hb, HHb and THb), muscle strength of the foot dorsiflexors measured with dynamometer, muscle activation by surface electromyography, active and passive joint balance with goniometry or inclinometer, assessment of gait and balance, assessment of load distribution by static and dynamic pressure platform, spasticity and questionnaire on quality of life and functionality. The acute effects after one intervention session (pre-post intervention of one session) and the effects after a 10-session program will be analyzed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence rate and severity of pre-specified mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV)-related ocular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and assess prophylaxis strategies in all participants (symptomatic and asymptomatic) undergoing prospective ophthalmic evaluation with recurrent ovarian cancer (participants with either platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer [PSOC] or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer [PROC]) with high folate receptor alpha (FRĪ±) expression.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of TCD601 when compared to rATG in de novo renal transplant patients.
Physical exercise induces numerous changes in the body in a complex signalling network caused by or in response to increased metabolic activity of contracting skeletal muscles. The application of omics analytical techniques such as proteomics and metabolomics in the field of sport allows us to understand how the human body responds to exercise and how sports results can be improved by optimising nutrition and training. Both omics techniques offer a quantitative measurement of the metabolic profiles associated with exercise and are able to identify metabolic signatures of athletes from different sports disciplines. Basketball is a high-intensity exercise modality interspersed with low-intensity. The performance requirements of basketball include aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, with anaerobic metabolism being considered the main energy system. Therefore, basketball players need great athletic ability to produce a successful performance during competition. For optimal sports performance it is important to adjust the training load, i.e. the degree of effort that the player can withstand in a single training session. Coaches require effective and objective load monitoring tools that allow them to make decisions about training plans based on the needs of each player. Microsampling systems emerge as an alternative to venipuncture by facilitating self-sampling, which can be carried out outside healthcare centres, in a comfortable and precise way from a small finger prick that the user can perform. These systems are less expensive and can be effective in measuring the levels of glucose metabolism products, such as lactate, through the application of metabolomics and proteomics. On the other hand, the use of non-invasive methods of measuring lactate levels is becoming increasingly popular in sports medicine. The use of saliva as an alternative fluid to the blood shows promise for identifying the concentrations of metabolites that occur during and after sports training.
Nowadays, fibromyalgia is the rheumatic disorder with the highest levels of deterioration in quality of life. Among the comorbidities it presents, one of the most frequent is temporomandibular disorders. A randomized clinical study will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an osteopathic manual therapy approach algorithm in a group of patients with fibromyalgia and temporomandibular disorders.
