There are about 9702 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Poland. 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.
An enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) poses a major surgical problem. The definitive surgical repair of persistent fistulas remains a surgical challenge with a high rate of re-fistulation and mortality, and the reasons for that is not the surgical technique alone. Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS®) is an evidence-based multimodal perioperative protocol proven to reduce postoperative complications. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical value of ERAS protocol in surgical patients with ECF.
This study aimed to assess correlations between muscle tone, stabilization of the trunk and the upper extremity, and parameters of hand/wrist motor coordination in post-stroke patients and neurologically healthy subjects with lower back pain.
This study is open for men and women with a liver disease called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 456906 helps patients with NASH and liver fibrosis. The study tests 3 different doses of BI 456906 to find the dose that helps best. Participants are put into 4 groups randomly, which means by chance. There are 3 groups that each receive a different dose of BI 456906 and there is 1 group that receives placebo. BI 456906 and placebo are given as an injection under the skin once per week. The placebo injection looks like the BI 456906 injection but does not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for a little over 1 year (60 weeks). During this time, they visit the study site several times and have some video calls in addition. At the visits, the study doctors take different measurements. To see whether the treatment works, the doctors take a very small sample of liver tissue (biopsy) from each participant at the start and at the end of the study. They also examine the liver by ultrasound and MRI. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin taken once a week) to insulin degludec (an insulin taken once daily which is already available on the market) in people with type 2 diabetes. The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin degludec taken daily. Participants will either get insulin icodec that participants will have to inject once a week on the same day of the week or insulin degludec that participants will have to inject once a day at the same time every day. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The insulin is injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm or stomach. The study will last for about 8 months. Participants will have 17 clinic visits and 13 phone calls with the study doctor. At 8 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 4 clinic visits participants cannot eat or drink (except for water) for 8 hours before the visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures their blood sugar all the time in 3 periods for a total of 13 weeks (about 3 months) during the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequently appearing neurodegenerative disease. It is a progressive disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and affects around 1% of people over 60 years old. During the progression decline of substantia nigra and deficits of dopamine are observed. The diagnosis is usually based on the motor symptoms such as resting tremor, bradykinesia, muscle stiffness, and postural instability. Common intercurrent symptoms are psychiatric problems like depression or dementia (1). Pharmacotherapy, for example, L-dopa or deep brain stimulation (DBS) are usually used to reduce the motor symptoms (2). From many years the influence of insufficient vitamin D3 levels in human is investigated. In recent publications it was proved that the deficiency of vitamin D3 may lead to generation of reactive oxygen species that influence negatively on mitochondria. That may lead to increased muscle atrophy (3,4). Deficiency of vitamin D3 may be also connected with depression, dementia or the progression of neurodegenerative diseases (5). Moreover, recently studies proved that PD patients have low concentration of serum vitamin D3 (5), increased serum homocysteine (6) and abnormalities in kynurenine pathway (7). It has beed proved that many forms of physical activity in PD patients improves mobility, static and dynamic balance but also may reduce the non-motor symptoms (8,9).
The objective of this study was to assess the changes in thyroid hormones and its activity during CRRT in patients with Acute Kidney Injury.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single treatment with administration of NT 201 (botulinum toxin) is superior to placebo (no medicine) for one-sided treatment of essential tremor in the arm (Unilateral Period). Participants will be assigned to the treatment groups by chance and neither the participants nor the research staff who interact with them will know the allocation. The following treatment cycle will investigate the safety and tolerability of two-sided treatment with NT 201 (botulinum toxin) (Open Label Bliaterial Period). All participants will receive NT 201 treatment.
This is a retrospective, multi-center study to assess the safety and performance by proactively reviewing pre-existing medical records and imaging of patients who had previous placement of FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft in iliac artery vessel(s) between January 2010 and March 2020.
The aim of the study was to examine the effect of GRAVITY system therapy on chronic disc-related pain in lumbar spine. Investigators made a hypothesis that patients who regularly perform core strengthening exercises based on gravity system will decrease pain and disability, and increase muscle strength in higher extent comparing to control group, that receive passive physical therapy.
Aging, renal pathology (eg SLE, ADPKD), X-ray exposition and pharmacological treatments, especially previous strong immunosuppression, may negatively influence the ovarian reserve in childbearing age women. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is regarded as biomarker for ovarian reserve. Every female with renal disease regularly menstruating that met exclusion criteria could have participated. The aim was to assess ovarian reserve in female patients with normal menstrual cycle and kidney disease, including kidney transplant recipients.
