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.
Persons post-stroke suffer from hemiparesis affecting the functional abilities of the controlesional lower limb. Improving walking is therefore a primary rehabilitation goal for such patients. Robotic-Assisted Rehabilitation (RAR, e.g. exoskeletons) and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) are promising techniques to facilitate the functional recovery after stroke. allowing benefits to be maintained over long term.
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and recurrence of cold-snaring for large colonic lesions combined with argon plasma coagulation of the resection bed.
To evaluate the efficacy of enamel remineralization by biomimetic hydroxyapatite contained in microRepair-based Biorepair Total Protection toothpaste compared to the use of Bio Enamel Caries and Erosion toothpaste based on Fluoro-Hydroxyapatite and BioActive Complex, evaluated with Diagnodent Pen and Diagnocam.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab in participants with newly diagnosed advanced stage Follicular Lymphoma (FL).
Predictive models can be applied in different areas, during the emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic, in fact, they have proven important in supporting health systems in planning strategic decisions and in formulating health policies for the containment of the disease. The Covid-19 pandemic, in particular, has represented a real challenge for our healthcare system. In Italy, it was divided into four main waves, each characterized by different types of patients and different therapeutic approaches progressively improved based on new scientific evidence. The objective is to carry out a study on the data of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 at the ASST of Lecco during all four pandemic waves, with different degrees of severity of illness, collecting the data of interest and applying it to they use artificial intelligence to identify recurring patterns of clinical outcome in terms of survival and secondary infectious complications, so as to build new reliable predictive statistical models that can be used to predict the outcome of the patients themselves. The strong ambition of this project is that the application of artificial intelligence to data of such significant quantity can allow us to build valid statistical models which can then be hypothetically applied to any patient to predict, based on anamnestic characteristics, blood chemical parameters. at baseline and at the set treatment, the probability of survival and complications
Minimally invasive procedures with the tunnel technique have been suggested to decrease patient post-operative discomfort and morbidity in oral bone regeneration. In the ridge augmentation tunnel technique, crestal incision and the release of the connective tissue are avoided in order to enhance the blood supply of the flap. This approach preserves the blood circulation and does not damage the periosteum The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of a minimally invasive technique for maxillofacial horizontal bone augmentation .
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a highly prevalent functional pathology which currently has no real standardized and effective therapy, despite having a significant impact on quality of life and on social-health costs. Post-biotics have demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies the ability to modulate the microbiota, the intestinal barrier function, the immune response as well as having systemic effects, with prospects for good efficacy in treatment of IBS.
Taxol is a very effective drug in breast cancer, but it can cause peripheral neuropathy (PN). This toxicity is often dose-limiting. Symptoms of PN usually improve after taxol discontinuation, but >80% of affected women experience symptoms 1-3 years after treatment stop. The intensity, the duration and the type of symptoms related to PN are very different and they can strongly interfere with patients' quality of life. The application of cold to the hands and feet seems to be able to reduce the incidence of PN. Hilotherm® is a machine that allows to cool hands and feet. The aim of this study is to verify whether the use of Hilotherm® is able to reduce the incidence of moderate and severe PN and to evaluate the tolerability of Hilotherm® and its impact on quality of life.
This is a multicentric observational retrospective cohort study of patients with histological diagnosis of PTLD. The aim of the study is to analyze the clinical features and survival of patients who received a PTLD diagnosis with the target to assess a survival outcome, to obtain an epidemiologic and clinical characterization of the subpopulations affected by PTLD, to recognize unfavorable properties, to report the current treatment strategies, to provide rationale for the design of a prospective registry in order to develop future novel treatments.
Study Description: Scientific literature demonstrated the negative influence of Urinary Incontinence (UI) on the quality of life connected to the physical, psychological, and social health of women. However, a limited number of studies investigated in depth the emotional experience of women affected by this disorder, their behaviors, and their experiences in managing the problem. Health professionals need to understand these aspects to offer the best care, also taking into account women's cultural and territorial differences. Research conducted on the topic in the Italian context is lacking, therefore the present study aims to explore, in a Northern Italian context, the experience of adult women affected by UI. Study Design: Qualitative phenomenological study (observational, cross-sectional, monocenter) Objective: To explore, in a Northern Italian context, the experience of women aged ≥ 18 years affected by Urinary Incontinence (UI) Study Population: Women ≥ 18 years old, not pregnant nor having given birth for less than 40 days, suffering from urinary incontinence who access the Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan. Sample Size: Women who have already had at least a couple of pelvic floor rehabilitation meetings at the outpatient clinic of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, within the time frame foreseen by the study. These subjects represent a precious resource and are considered "more informative for the researcher" as they testify to the emotions and daily life that influence the symptoms of urinary incontinence, but they are also able to narrate their experience of re-education of the pelvic floor. It is assumed that approximately 20 women will be involved to reach data saturation. Statistical Design: The interviews will be analyzed with the hermeneutic-phenomenological IPA (Interpretative phenomenological analysis) method, which involves the identification of units of meaning, categories and themes in accordance with the language of the speakers. The analysis of qualitative data will be made possible thanks to the use of data management software (NViVO). The socio-demographic data collected will be presented with absolute and relative frequencies
