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.
There is controversy about the maximum number of elements to be included in a surgical site infection (SSI) prevention bundle and the possibility of its implementation at a multi-center level. This study analyzes SSI rates in colorectal surgery after the implementation of two preventive bundles. The investigators hypothesized that the thorough introduction of a well-designed large bundle of best practice preventive measures would result in good adherence and greater reduction of SSI rates after colorectal surgery.
Purpose: To determine the effects of three Short Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (SMICT) exercise programs with different durations, on functional capacity, resting heart rate (RHR) and physical activity enjoyment in sedentary women. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed. 45 sedentary women were randomly allocated to either a: i) 8-minutes short exercise group; ii) 10-minutes short exercise group; and iii) 15-minutes short exercise group. All three groups received a short exercise training program at moderate intensity for 3 sessions/week, over 3 weeks. Before and after the interventions, functional capacity was evaluated through the 6-minute walking test, and RHR with a pulse oximeter. Physical activity enjoyment was measured with the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale after the intervention.
Background: Shoulder pain commonly affects the general population, with rotator cuff tendinopathy being the most common cause. the most common cause, with rotator cuff tendinopathy diminishing function and quality of life, leading to a major socio-economic impact. quality of life, leading to a major socio-economic impact. As a result, there are two treatment approaches with potential effectiveness: therapeutic exercise (TE) and myofascial trigger point treatment (TMT). trigger point treatment (TTP). Objective: The main objective of this randomised clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of ET versus treatment of MTPs in shoulder tendinopathies. Methods: For this study, 20 participants were randomly divided into two groups: a ET group, with which a 10-exercise programme was initiated (n = 10), and a PGM group which was given an intervention protocol (n = 10). intervention protocol (n = 10). Both received a total of 10 sessions. Pain intensity pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT) and range of motion (ROM) were assessed before starting and after 10 sessions. and after 10 sessions.
Body scan meditation has been assumed to be an interoceptive intervention, and the evidence for its effects on interoceptive processes is unclear. Although this mindfulness based exercise typically involves focusing on some interoceptive signals such as breath, it also involves other bodily cues, such as somatosensory cues. The present study aimed to (1) investigate the feasibility of three online delivered mindfulness practices that differ in the signals targeted: visceral body scan (VBS), somatosensory body scan (SBS), and external (non body) meditation (ECM), and (2) gain insight into the potentially different effects of these interventions on interoceptive and other psychological outcomes in order to inform future full scale randomized controlled trials (RCT).
The goal of this observational prospective and analytical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the device developed by Legit.Health in remotely monitoring the severity of chronic dermatologic pathologies. Secondly, to assess patient satisfaction with the device for remote monitoring. All this in patients diagnosed with any of the specified chronic dermatological conditions that meet the inclusion criteria. These patients are attended at the Dermatology Department of the Hospital Universitario de Torrejón. The study proceeded as follows: Patient Selection and Recruitment Visit The recruitment period spanned six months, during which investigators identified eligible patients. The Principal Investigator (PI) or designated collaborating investigators explained the study details to potential participants using the Patient Information Sheet. Patients had the opportunity to seek clarification on any aspects of the study. If a patient chose to participate, they provided informed consent and received a study code. Data collection commenced post-consent. During this initial visit, patients used the device under the supervision of the research team to complete questionnaires and capture photographs associated with their pathology. Subsequently, the patient autonomously and remotely continued the data collection process at home, as detailed in the following section. The device was provided at no cost to patients and the research team for the study's duration. Procedures Performed by the Patient at Home Completion of Questionnaires Patients independently reported on their condition from home, following instructions provided by the research team and the "Patient Information Guide" integrated into Legit.Health, in conjunction with photograph submissions. Every two months, patients completed the "Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire" addressing general user experience aspects. Additionally, they completed the System Usability Scale (SUS) Questionnaire at the same frequency Image capture Patients simultaneously took photographs of the affected areas while completing questionnaires through the app. These photographs were captured using the patient's smartphone from their homes in an autonomous manner. The frequency of photograph submission was determined by the consulting specialist. No specialized camera equipment was required; patients used the camera available on their smartphones. Patients then transmitted these photographs to the research team through a web app Both patients and members of the medical team possessed access credentials. The manufacturer did not have access to patient accounts or information. Data transfer and photograph storage adhered to the European Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data, as well as the Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare and test the efficacy of two treatments for plantar warts. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which treatment has a higher cure rate for eliminating plantar warts? Which treatment causes less pain during the procedure? Participants with plantar warts will: Be randomly assigned to receive either cryotherapy or laser therapy Undergo 4 treatment sessions at weekly intervals Have their warts assessed for complete clearance after treatment Rate their pain levels during each session Researchers will compare the cryotherapy and laser therapy groups to see if there are differences in: Rates of complete wart clearance Pain levels reported during treatment Adverse effects
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declares the Coronavirus disease pandemic 2019. Intensive Care Units deal entirely with patients with pneumonia complicated by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, requiring aggressive respiratory treatments with long periods of connection to mechanical ventilation, sedation and immobilization, contributing to the onset of acquired critical patient muscle weakness (IAPD). IUCD is a frequent complication in intensive care units, with an incidence of 11-67%¹. Of multifactorial cause, immobilization or "bed-rest", the use of corticosteroids and neuromuscular blocking agents have been described as factors directly related to this syndrome. Several studies have shown that mobilization of the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome, even with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is safe, feasible and beneficial for the patient. Bedside cyclo-ergometry has been associated with a reduction in the degree of sarcopenia, contributing to the recovery of the critically ill patient. Several studies document that bed cyclo-ergometry is safe and feasible in critically ill patients within the first week of admission to intensive care, but few clinical trials exist.
Chronic low back pain is one of the main causes of pain, dysfunction and disability worldwide. In Spain, 93% of the population has had back pain in the last year, and it is estimated that 50% of sick leave is due to this cause. This entails a great socioeconomic burden, since it is the main cause of absenteeism from work and the excessive use of therapeutic services. Musculoskeletal disorders are related and associated with psychologically stressful jobs, that is, with psychosocial factors at work and related work stressors, such as time pressure, low job control, poor social or supervisor support, effort-reward imbalance or work-life conflict. Clinical management of both situations encompasses a variety of approaches, including medication and early physical exercise, which have shown promise in reducing pain and improving function. A novel approach to address these problems is the use of Xiaxi, a patented postural hammock with multiple angles of inclination that promotes relaxation and elongation of the posterior chain, thereby improving overall well-being. Combining the use of Xiaxi with a comprehensive program of strengthening, stretching and relaxation exercises could offer benefits in the prevention and reduction of back pain.
Based on the hypothesis that incorporating SimCapture for Skills in the training of technical skills in undergraduate nursing students will increase their competence in the acquisition of technical skills in peer learning, we want to compare the qualification obtained through student self-assessment in the performance of the technique in traditional teaching with classroom teacher versus that obtained with the repetition of the practice with the support of the SimCapture for Skills interface without classroom teacher, as well as the student's perception in terms of satisfaction and self-confidence with both learning spaces. The costs associated with the two types of teaching will also be evaluated.
This study will be performed with the aim to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation on sport performance and gut damage. Participants will be divided into two groups, placebo and experimental group. With the purpose to assess the effects of probiotics on the gut damage, a strenuous exercise session will be performed, and then blood samples will be taken to observe the variation of the selected intestinal damage marker. 24 hours after this strenuous session, performance tests will be performed. After the 4 weeks of supplementation, the same procedure will be followed to evaluate the effect of probiotics.
