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 objectives of this study are: - To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a vibrating positional device (NightBalance, Philips) in the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea compared to conventional CPAP treatment. - To investigate whether a positional device (NightBalance, Philips) avoids supine position after a period of use of the device without actively using the device for a subsequent period of time.
The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the American Society for Bone Research and Mineral Metabolism recommend the creation and implementation of fracture coordination services (FLS) as the most efficient way to address the problem. FLS has emerged as a new clinical approach that uses coordinated, multidisciplinary care to improve post-fracture outcomes and reduce recurrent fractures. It is a multidisciplinary and protocolized care model that must guarantee: 1. Identify fragility fractures and people at risk for a fracture 2. Fracture risk assessment 3. Indication for treatment or referral 4. Improvement in therapeutic compliance 5. Reduce the risk of falls It is known that patients who have undergone a FLS model (vs no FLS), have lower mortality, lower risk of fracture, with a reduction of 35% and 56%, respectively, during two years of follow-up. One of the most important objectives of the FLS is the proper recognition and treatment of osteoporosis (OP) in patients with fragility fractures. A major problem is the lack of adherence to treatment for OP, and inclusion in an FLS program increases the prescription of bisphosphonates from 17.9% to 76%. In addition, a specific follow-up program means that 73% of patients followed by FLS continue to undergo anti-resorptive treatment after 2 years of having suffered a femur fracture.
Retrospective, monocentric clinical study on the clinical performance of Novosyn® Quick in patients undergoing episiotomy closure.
This study evaluates the efficacy of advanced triage in improving the quality of care outcomes of patients attending the Emergency Department (ED) united care of high complexity hospital. There are four steps; Step 1 will consist of a concept analysis. Step 2 will include a mapping of advanced practice protocol terminologies. Step 3 will analyse the opinion of health professionals on advanced triage. In step 4: in retrospective phase, sociodemographic and clinical variables and quality indicators such as waiting time will be analysed. After that, in the prospective phase, advanced triage will be implemented and the two cohorts will be compared.
The aims of our study are the following: (a) testing the effectiveness of a combined intervention: "Family Connections" program with a smartphone app versus the same intervention supported by a paper-based manual, (b) studying the feasibility and acceptance of both conditions and (c) evaluating the perceptions and opinions of families about both interventions.
A randomized and controlled trial to people with low back pain who are divided into 2 groups of treatment: 1- people treated with a protocol of physical therapy techniques without magnetic field therapy; 2- people treated with the same protocol of physical therapy techniques adding a magnetic stimulation treatment. The interventions are conducted in 3 sessions provided during 3 weeks.The lumbar pain and disability are assessed before and after the intervention, and lumbar flexion and extension pain are assessed before and after each session in all the participants.
Cerebral palsy describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. Nowadays, CP is not fully curable, and physiotherapy should be used in conjunction with other interventions such as oral drugs, botulinum toxin type A, continuous pump-administered intrathecal baclofen, orthopaedic surgery and selective dorsal rhizotomy. However, several systematic reviews conclude that there is low evidence that these invasive therapies are more effective than placebo. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a type of neuromodulatory technique through magnetic impulses. The effect of rTMS depends on the frequency of the emitted electromagnetic field; low frequencies (≤1 Hz) lead to an inhibition of neuronal electrical activity at the stimulation site, while high frequencies (≥3 Hz) cause neuronal depolarization. The objective of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) protocol, as an adjunct treatment to neurorehabilitation to improve gross motor function and quality of life in school-age children with spastic diplegia-type infantile cerebral palsy.
The incidence of obstetric sphincter tears has risen to 15-30% and the prevalence of anal incontinence (AI) symptoms after childbirth may be as high as 40%. The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of anal sphincter defects after childbirth in primiparous women-
This study has been designed as a multicentric, randomized, two parallel-group, controlled trial. The study population will be male and female inmates of nine prisons of Catalonia (Spain). The primary outcome will be the total number of suicidal behaviours for 12 months of follow-up. This project aims to assess the effectiveness of a psycho-educational intervention on reducing the number of suicidal behaviours in the prison environment. If positive, the prison community will have a new tool to curb suicide in prisons.
The objective of this prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm observational study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the iCover covered stent for the treatment of de novo aorto-iliac atherosclerotic lesions in patients with symptomatic arteriopathy of the lower limbs (Rutherford class 2 to 5).
