There are about 1444 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Croatia. 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 goal of this intervention study is to determine the effect of occlusal splint (OS) therapy on the concentration of inflammatory cytokines in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Aims are: - to determine cytokines level in GCF and serum before and after OS therapy - to determine the degree of psychosocial dysfunction and oral health-related quality of life before and after OS therapy - investigate the correlation between cytokines level in GCF and serum - to determine the effect of OS on treatment outcomes, pain intensity, dysfunction, and psychosocial status of patients with painful TMD. Participants will be asked to complete self-assessment questionnaires, and GCF and blood samples will be collected before beginning of the OS therapy and at follow-up examinations one month and two months after.
The impact of the complex liver immunological network on sepsis outcome is largely unknown. Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is the most common chronic liver disease with prevalence of 25% in European countries. The question remains whether patients with SLD are more prone to bacterial infections and what is the impact of persistent liver inflammation to the systemic response to infection, sepsis course and outcomes. Semaphorins are a large family of secreted and membrane-bound biological response modifiers present in many organ systems that are associated with SLD and development of fibrosis, but also might regulate systemic immune responses in sepsis. This study will investigate the association of semaphorins with sepsis outcomes in patients with SLD.
In addition to the regular ASA classification, patients would also be assigned the Clinical frailty scale (CFS) during preoperative examinations in anesthesiology clinics. The aim is to compare the usefulness of ASA and CFS categorization for predicting perioperative and postoperative complications and length of postoperative stay in elective surgeries.
The aim is to identify the underlying disease mechanisms driving specific asthma phenotypes as well as certain disease outcomes and their relation to impaired indoor air quality. This may also help in underpinning specific target mechanisms in order to personalize and improve current treatment options in childhood asthma and develop more successful prevention strategies. This will be done by combining data from detailed clinical phenotyping with multiple -omics data.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of locally applied hyaluronic acid on free gingival graft wound bed healing and palatal donor site wound healing. Forty subjects will be randomly divided in two separate groups. Test group will be treated with hyaluronic acid during the procedure and the control group without. Periodontal parameters and other clinical measurements will be taken on baseline, 7 days postoperative, 14 days postoperative, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperative.
Randomized stratified controlled clinical study for evaluate the effectiveness of a diet program designed for reduce body weight through standard and innovative products that are a substitute meal for weight management in a reduction diet in obese participants with asthma.
The CTO-DENOVO study is a multicenter registry of consecutive patients with de novo CTO undergoing successful CTO recanalization with the use of DCB-only strategy. The primary endpoint is target lesion failure at 6 months. The secondary endpoints are: 1) late lumen loss on follow-up angiography, and 2) minimal lumen area on follow-up intravascular ultrasound.
A randomized controlled trial comparing the vaginal, vNOTES ( vaginal natural orifice transluminal surgery) or laparoscopic approach for hysterectomy in women with benign gynaecological disease
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the ablation system (OMNYPULSE Bi-directional catheter and TRUPULSE generator) when used for isolation of the atrial pulmonary veins (PVs) in treatment of participants with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy, safety, PK, and PD of multiple dose levels of ESK-001 compared with placebo in adult patients with SLE.
