There are about 4372 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Greece. 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 purposes of this multicenter retrospective cohort study are to determine the residual nodal burden in patients with isolated tumor cells detected in the SLN or the clipped node after NAC and to determine oncologic outcomes in this group of patients after ALND or nodal RT or observation.
DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF A TELEREHABILITION SYSTEM FOR PATIENTS WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE. KNEE (AGES 40-70 YEARS, GRADE 1-3, ACCORDING TO KELLGREN AND LAWRENCE) This study aims to develop and compare two methods of implementing a therapeutic exercise program for knee osteoarthritis: face-to-face sessions versus a telerehabilitation program. The telerehabilitation system will allow remote delivery of exercises with real-time monitoring and feedback. Measurement tools will assess various dimensions of knee osteoarthritis, ensuring comprehensive evaluation. Two experimental groups will receive either face-to-face or telerehabilitation sessions twice a week for eight weeks. Both groups will follow structured exercise programs, with the telerehabilitation group receiving remote instructions and feedback. Measurements will be taken before and after the intervention period, as well as at a three-month follow-up. Expected results include confirming and potentially enhancing findings regarding the effectiveness of remote rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis. The study anticipates that telerehabilitation intervention could be equally or more effective than face-to-face intervention, ultimately providing a personalized, self-managed solution for managing chronic conditions like knee osteoarthritis.
The aim of this study is to apply a psychoeducational program in adult siblings of people with ASD as a means to provide knowledge related to the disorder and improving their quality of life. The psycho-educational program will be implemented in adult siblings of people with ASD and its effectiveness will be assessed. Participation in this program is expected to contribute in the improvement of the quality of life of the participants, their siblings with ASD and those related to them. No risk is identified.
Coronary artery disease is a multifactorial disease. Traditional risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, stimulate the onset of an inflammatory process in the prone vessel and perivascular adipose tissue, which has not yet been clarified and is still being investigated. Coronary artery bypass grafting is an effective treatment of coronary artery disease, which has been shown to prolong survival. Perioperative analysis of the myocardial metabolic profile helps to identify appropriate markers and metabolites associated with early myocardial damage. This, in turn, helps to improve risk stratification by better understanding the mechanisms of the disease processes, in order to prevent postoperative myocardial infarction and its associated complications. Such indicators, which are related to the diagnosis and severity of coronary artery disease, as well as the prognosis of coronary artery bypass grafting, have been separately studied before, in the peripheral blood of patients with coronary artery disease, in healthy vascular tissues, such as mammary artery, compared to atherosclerotic tissue from the coronary artery, as well as in the epicardial adipose tissue, intraoperatively. The aim of the proposed study is to investigate and evaluate metabolic factors and biomarkers preoperatively, intraoperatively and postoperatively, in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and their prognostic value regarding a) the severity of coronary artery disease (Gensini score, ejection fraction, acute coronary syndrome) and b) the outcome of surgery (indications of myocardial damage and / or infarction, low cardiac output syndrome and use of intraortic balloon pump, atrial fibrillation, 30-day mortality).
A prospective observational study to assess the energy needs of Ulcerative Colitis patients undergoing total proctocolectomy with ileoanal j-pouch anastomosis.
Dance is a highly demanded physical activity with a high rate of acute and emergent events (AEE). No systematic prospective study has been conducted in any Greek population of dance students for the registration of the AEE and their possible predisposing factors. This is a prospective cohort study, the purpose of which is to register the AEE risk factors, their long-term follow-up, and the potential AEE during an academic year in adult dance students in Athens, Greece.
Dance for Parkinson's Disease® (DfPD®) is a specially designed dance program for individuals with PD. This study assesses the efficacy, safety and feasibility of a culturally adapted DfPD® program offered both live and online in Greek PD patients. A total of 40 early-to-mid-stage PD Greek patients have been enrolled to underwent a total of 16 60-min classes twice weekly over 8 weeks both live and online as well as to be part of the non-intervention control group in a 3-arms crossover randomized controlled clinical trial. Assessments will be performed at baseline and at the end of each study period and will include quality of life, fatigue, depressive symptoms, stress, anxiety, sarcopenia, frailty, balance, cognitive functions, movement and non-movement PD symptoms, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Safety and feasibility of each of the dance interventions (live DfPD® vs remote DfPD®) will be assessed.
Lugol's solution and other preparations containing iodide have been used as an adjuvant treatment in patients with toxic disease planned for thyroidectomy. However, no conclusive evidence supporting the benefits of preoperative treatment with LS for patients with toxic goiters. This trial aims to provide new insights into future recommendations.
The aim of our study is to compare the effectiveness of Mediterranean diet (MD) with the isocaloric Ketogenic diet (KD) on clinical and biochemical markers of inflammation in patients with obesity, psoriasis (PSO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of a hydrotherapy program on the balance and fatigue of patients with multiple sclerosis. it is a fact that hydrotherapy has an effect on the rehabilitation and treatment of people with balance problems.
