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.
This study aims to determine whether gait physiotherapy combined with motor imagery exercises has a superior effect on the biomechanics of gait, functionality in activities of daily living, motor capacity, and the perception of the quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease, than gait physiotherapy without motor imagery. To do this, a six-week training program will be carried out twice a week, where walking exercises and motor imaging will be performed in the experimental group while walking exercises only, will be performed in the control group. Motor imagery exercises consist of developing a mental exercise by which an individual rehearses or simulates a given action. We hypothesize that participants who perform motor imagery exercises have better results than participants who train without imagery exercises.
These treatments are beta-glucans, polysaccharides of beta-D-glucose that, can influence the clearance of HPV infection. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a gel with Carboxymethyl - β -Glucan and polycarbophil when applied intravaginally regarding the clearance of HPV infection.
Introduction: Suicide is one of the leading public health issues worldwide. Mobile health can help us to combat suicide through monitoring and treatment. The SmartCrisis 2.0 randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Intervention to prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviour. Methods and analysis: The SmartCrisis 2.0 study is a randomized clinical trial with two parallel groups, conducted among patients with a history of suicidal behaviour treated at the University Hospital Fundación Jiménez Díaz. The intervention group will be monitored using Ecological Momentary Assessment and will receive an Ecological Momentary Intervention called 'SmartSafe' in addition to their treatment as usual (TAU). TAU will consist of psychiatric follow-up of the patient (scheduled appointments with a psychiatrist) in our outpatient Suicide Prevention clinic, with predetermined clinical appointments according to the Brief Intervention Contact recommendations (1, 2, 4, 7 and 11 weeks, and 4, 6, 9 and 12 months). The control group would receive TAU and be monitored using EMA. Ethics and dissemination: This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the University Hospital Fundación Jiménez Díaz. It is expected that, in the near future, the mobile applications MEmind and eB2 can be implemented in routine clinical practice. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and psychiatric congresses.
A therapeutic strategy to neutralize the evasion mechanisms of HPV. Among these treatments are beta-glucans, polysaccharides of beta-D-glucose that, can influence the clearance of HPV. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a gel with Carboxymethyl - β -Glucan and polycarbophil when applied intravaginally, on the regression of low-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN) associated to HR-HPV infection.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of rifampicin given at a dose three times as the standard one, in persons with tuberculosis that belong to groups that have not been widely included in previous trials.
In recent years the survival of cancer patients has increased exponentially. But together with that survival, and due to the different oncological treatments, side effects have also increased significantly. Some of these may be tumor asthenia or dyspnea. The latter can represent a serious health problem, with important limitations for individuals. To control this, we consider that the measures used in conventional clinical practice can be implemented, mainly developed through physical exercise. But we believe that not only this is enough, but we also propose an intervention with a comprehensive perspective from the rehabilitative approach, with the aim of integrating education and training of the oncological patient with dyspnea. We propose to combine the intervention with physical exercise with a re-education in the performance of activities of daily living, within a "Functional Oncological Re-education Program", to see if in this way better results are achieved in clinical practice. That is why we propose to verify the effects produced by the implementation of a multimodal physical exercise program with a specific autonomy recovery program in comparison with an isolated intervention through physical exercise on the functionality and physical performance in cancer patients with dyspnea . To do this, we proposed an experimental, prospective, randomized study using a parallel scheme of fixed assignment with an experimental group and a control group in patients from the Oncology Hospitalization Unit of the Salamanca University Hospital Complex. 44 participants with dyspnea, who were admitted at the time of inclusion, will be selected through a consecutive sampling. After the baseline evaluation, the participants will be randomized into two groups. The subjects of the experimental group will carry out a Rehabilitation Program in addition to the physical exercise carried out in all the participants. The main variable will be the performance of basic activities of daily living (Barthel scale) and the degree of dyspnea (mMRC scale). In addition, physical performance (SPPB), blood oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry), fear / avoidance of movement / TAMPA scale) and quality of life in cancer patients (ECOG) will be assessed. The results of this study could be transferred to the clinic, incorporating them into care protocols for cancer patients with dyspnea.
The Amadeo® Manual Robotic System (Tyromotion GmbH, Graz, Austria) is designed for rehabilitative treatment of the hand and fingers providing robot-assisted exercise for the finger flexors and extensors. This system has a controlled position, active, active-assisted and passive exercise mode, it also allows isometric exercises with visual feedback provided during computerized games that emphasize flexion and extension. Another of the functions that this device presents and that differentiates it from other handheld robotic systems is its vibration function. Through sensors that are placed on the fingertips, providing a vibratory proprioceptive stimulus of different frequencies. Currently, there are no published trials on the efficacy of the vibration of this device and its consequent improvement in the sensitivity and functionality of patients with hemiparesis after stroke. Investigations have been conducted in patients with peripheral lesions and in the healthy population. A preliminary study with monkeys demonstrated that the frequency of the vibration presents better results when the muscle stretch receptors are driven by a high frequency vibration, activating the neurons corresponding to the motor cortex and in the 3rd primary sensory area. More recent studies have shown the efficacy of focal vibratory stimulation applied to the wrist and forearm muscles, specifically the application to the tendon of the stimulated muscle. Regarding the most appropriate form of stimulation, the most important determining factors to highlight are the frequency of application, the duration and intensity and the time of application. The mechanism of action of local muscle vibration is to stimulate various receptors. Meissner corpuscles respond best around 40 Hz, while Vater-Pacini corpuscles around 100 Hz. Together, they are also known as rapidly adapting cutaneous receptors. In contrast, Merkel-Ranvier cells and Ruffini corpuscles are called slow-adapting and classically described as sensitive to sustained pressure. That is why authors of different studies have focused on high frequency vibration of 300 Hz, for 30 minutes. 3 times per week. The duration of vibratory stimulation, different studies show the effects of vibration and changes in the cortex after performing the treatment constantly, for about ten days, intensively three to four days a week, observing long-term changes in terms on cortical excitability.
Parents of children with Down Syndrome can help in describing children's abilities and behavior. Most of the studies evaluating parents of children with Down Syndrome and other intellectual disabilities have focused on parental stress and coping; Additionally, most research has evaluated the perspectives of mothers rather than fathers. For this reason, in this study we aims to evaluate skills and behaviors in children with Down syndrome through the perception of parents.
