There are about 21062 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Italy. 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 project aims to develop and validate a model of human organoids derived from patients with Spondyloarthritis, focusing on synovial and intestinal tissues as targets of the gut-joint axis. The tissue marker profile of patient-derived organoids studied by gene expression, immunohistochemistry, and cytokine production profile will be compared with that of controls in order to test for the presence of specific biomarkers.
Intervention: (Weeks 1-2, Visit 3-4) - Starting from the second week after the date of consent, patients with IBS will be randomized 1:1 into two groups. The first group (20 patients) will receive one week of a low FODMAP supplemented with fermented milk followed by one week of a low FODMAP content supplemented with fermented beans. The second group (20 patients) will receive a low FODMAP diet supplemented for one week with fermented beans followed by a second week of a diet with a low FODMAP diet supplemented with fermented milk. The microbiome of the patients will be evaluated after the first and second weeks along with data related to weight. After the second week, the metabolome and physical characteristics. The enrollment period will last for one year. The analysis of clinical data will be completed within one year after patient enrollment. Analysis of laboratory data will be performed in parallel.
Differences in terms of diagnostic capability and side effects related to the needle caliber used for prostate biopsy sampling in patients with suspected prostate cancer
This research will determine 1) whether the very weak pelvic floor can be improved with surface electromyography (s-EMG)-triggered electrostimulation added to pelvic floor muscle training and 2) whether sEMG-triggered electrostimulation added to pelvic floor muscle training can reduce leakage in Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
The aim of this study is to define prospectively the incidence of multi-resistant germ batteries in paediatric oncoematological patients, to assess associated mortality, antibiotic resistance profile and the type of implemented therapy.
A prospective multicenter, single-arm phase II study enrolling treatment-naïve patients with metastatic pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC)
Prospective observational study designed to describe the clinical, laboratory, imaging, microbiological characteristics and treatment of specific infectious diseases, with the addition of a dedicated biobank.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a condition characterized by deficits in social communication and mutual interaction, as well as repetitive and restricted behaviors and interests. This condition manifests itself differently in each individual and can vary greatly in severity and impact on daily life. Autistic children may present various challenges and difficulties in developing daily living skills (DLS). These difficulties may relate to various areas, such as personal autonomy and domestic autonomy. For example, they may have difficulties in acquiring personal hygiene skills, such as dressing and tying their shoes independently. They may have difficulty performing household tasks, such as setting the table, preparing a simple meal, or folding a t-shirt. These difficulties may require specific support and training to help autistic children develop personal autonomy skills and achieve greater independence in different areas of their daily lives. Improving and developing DLS is an important goal in order to improve the quality of life and independence of children with autistic conditions. This protocol aims to acquire new useful DLS within the various settings of daily life. The hypothesis of the present study is the following: video modeling, through the use of the iPad (Qr code scanning), can be more effective in promoting autonomy in children with ASD, compared to a control group that receives a traditional training, without the use of technological instrumentation.
The goal of this observational study is to identify the risk factors of Chronic Postoperative pain (or Chronic Post Surgery Pain - CPSP) three months after surgery and, subsequently. the development of a risk index to identify high-risk patients considering the multifactorial etiology of CPOP in adult patients undergoing any type of elective surgery.
The study will compare two different positions of the ultrasound machine during simulated CVC positioning. The position of the ultrasound machine will be randomized. Group A will perform the procedure with the ultrasound monitor facing them, while subjects randomized to group B will perform the procedure with the ultrasound machine positioned at a 90° angle to their visual axis.
