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.
The relation between improvement in results of treating spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) and the application of statins has been subject to numerous analyses, and yet still remains debatable. The options of treating SICH are limited, therefore neuroprotective effects of statins have become the subject of interest. The purpose of this work is to determine whether: 1. the use of statins in the period prior to the spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage has any impact on the initial neurological condition and the initial radiology 2. continuing the statin treatment commenced before the spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage or including statins into treatment at the acute stage of the disease deteriorates the course of the disease and prognosis during the in-hospital period 3. continuing treatment with statins after the in-hospital treatment impacts functional efficiency and survival rate within the period of up to 90 days from the symptoms of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage occurring. The prospective study included 153 patients with diagnosed SICH who met the criteria for inclusion based on data collected in the course of interviews, neurological examinations, neuroimaging (head scans or magnetic resonance of the head) and laboratory test results, which additionally made it possible to exclude secondary hemorrhage causes. During the first stage of the study, patients were assigned to group I (without statins) and group II (taking statins). During the second stage of the study, having marked the lipid profile within the first three days of stay in hospital and excluded or confirmed dyslipidemia, group I was further divided into subgroups Ia and Ib. Subgroup Ia comprised those who were not diagnosed to have dyslipidemia - they did not receive statins; subgroup Ib comprised those with dyslipidemia who received statins and were recommended to take this medicine for 90 days since they occurrence of SICH. Group II patients continued to take the same dose of statins they had been taking before (atorvastatin or rosuvastatin) or if it had initially been low - increased doses of atorvastatin of up to 20 mg/d and rosuvastatin of up to 10 mg/d. Persons who had never taken that medicine before (subgroup Ib) were administered atorvastatin of 20 mg/day with the recommendation to take it for at least 90 days since the occurrence of SICH symptoms. The analysis pertained to the impact of statins during the acute period of SICH on its in-hospital course. The third stage consisted in analyzing the condition of the patients post hospitalization with the NIHSS Scale, Barthel Scale and modified Rankin Scale, with an examination carried out on the day they were released from hospital and 90 days from the occurrence of the symptoms of the disease. The fourth stage consisted in analyzing the survival rate of the patients.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of metformin on insulin sensitivity and vascular endothelial function with respect to gut microbiota and metabolome in women with established insulin resistance and its tolerance after 12 weeks of probiotic therapy. The hypothesis is probiotic therapy in women with established insulin resistance undergoing metformin treatment increases the drug's efficacy to improve insulin sensitivity and intestinal endothelial function, and reduces gastrointestinal side effects. Study participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups, taking a probiotic (GS) or a placebo (GP). The randomization scheme will be computer-generated using permuted blocks of block size 4.
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of the pericapsular nerve blockade vs. ESPB in pediatric patients who underwent hip surgeries.

Effect of Perineural Dexamethasone on the duration of popliteal nerve block for Anesthesia After Pediatric ankle/foot surgery.
Effect of PENG block and ESPB on pain management, and NLR and PLR following knee arthroplasty
The study design was a randomised, controlled, parallel, two-arm trial. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of the study groups: the intervention group or the control group. The passive mechanical properties, i.e. the stiffness and tone of the medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscle (dominant leg) were assessed. Measures were taken twice: in the intervention group before and after the 5-minute massage session, and in the control group at the beginning of the meeting and again after 5 minutes.
The study was designed as a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial with 8-week Vitamin D3 and physical activity intervention. The protocol was approved by Independent Bioethics Committee for Scientific Research at Medical University of Gdańsk (No. 525/2018), in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. We enrol 40 patient (aged ≥ 35), Patients diagnosed with chronic pain in the lumbar spine, qualified for surgical treatment at the Department of Neurosurgery Medicinal Unit in Gdańsk. Participation in the study was voluntary, and the condition for participation was obtaining informed consent from the patient.
A retrospective multicenter study that will analyze the results of surgical treatment of obesity in patients over 65 years of age.
Sufentanil is an opioid analgesics used in all groups of patients. It has one of the strongest effects among analgesic drugs. Sufentanil is widely-used because of its very quick onset, short duration of action, and better hemodynamic stability in patients compared to other opioids. Most of the pharmacokinetic studies described intravenous administration of sufentanil. The drug can also be epidural administrated (especially continuous epidural infusion) in low concentration with local anesthetics (ropivacaine or bupivacaine) for epidural analgesia. Epidural analgesia offers effective pain relief not only during the surgery, but also postoperatively. The combination of two drugs provides their additive effect and can reduce doses required for pain relief, then decreases the number and severity of adverse events. The study aims to describe the pharmacokinetics of epidural sufentanil used perioperative in adult patients after abdominal surgery to adjust the dosage if necessary.
