There are about 4289 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.
This observational study aims to investigate the impact of an online psychoeducational program, combined with cooling therapy, nutrition, psychological intervention, and exercise, on the resilience, treatment adherence, symptom management, and quality of life of individuals with Multiple Sclerosis. The study will last for six months, during which two groups of 15 participants with similar characteristics and a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis will take part in the protocol. Group A will follow the research protocol, while Group B, the Control group, will not participate in any rehabilitation intervention.
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.
This is a 12-week prospective, multicentre, randomised Phase 4 study to evaluate the effect of a wild type strain of Lacticaseibacillus in cholesterol of blood levels.
Pre-workout supplements (PWS) consumption in recreationally or physically trained males lead to many performance-enhancing benefits, including improvements in mean power output during single and repeated sprints, agility, reaction times, lower body muscular endurance and reduced fatigue. PWS ingestion also improves anaerobic performance and prolongs time to exhaustion during high-intensity intermittent exercise. However, PWSs' effectiveness is not constant, as they do not alter anaerobic power, jumping performance or blood lactate concentrations after a training session, at least in recreationally trained males and strength-power athletes. Moreover, the effects of long-term PWS supplementation, where some nutritional agents were combined (e.g., β-alanine, creatine, citrulline malate, etc.) to assess endurance-trained runners or elite cyclists' performance, are mixed and less clear. Even though the popularity of PWS use has increased among trained/professional athletes, most of the data in this area are derived from recreationally and not from well-trained athletes of a competitive level (especially in team sports). Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the acute and chronic effects of a PWS, containing 200 mg caffeine, 3.3 g creatine monohydrate, 3.2 g βalanine, 6 g citrulline malate and 5 g BCAA per dose, on shooting, jumping, sprinting, agility, aerobic and anaerobic performance in well-trained basketball players.
