There are about 3133 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Romania. 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.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can significantly impact a person's quality of life, not only physically but also mentally. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the psychological well-being of COPD patients by utilising specific questionnaires. These questionnaires will evaluate various aspects of mental health, including anxiety, depression, and potentially other relevant factors like self-compassion or fear of negative evaluation, self-efficacy, shame, and guilt. Additionally, the study will examine how these psychological factors relate to the severity of COPD symptoms, such as dyspnea and functional limitations. By understanding the psychological impact of COPD, this research hopes to emphasize the importance of medical education and mental health support in COPD management strategies.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease. The study will last for about 5 years. Participants will have up to 27 clinic visits with the study doctor.
The incidence of cognitive and neuromotor impairment caused by strokes has become a growing challenge. The patient's journey to recovery in the healthcare system involves multiple phases, spanning from initial hospitalization to in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation, finally leading to the patient's return to home. The access to stroke units and rehabilitation varies within Europe. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to rehabilitation programs, and the benefits derived from these programs often decline after hospital discharge. Currently, the support of the patient is organized in a rather fragmented way, and informal care sometimes places a severe burden requiring dedicated support in the patient's social environment. The PHRASE project proposes to deploy rehabilitation technology such as the Rehabilitation Gaming System (RGS) to instil and support a virtuous cycle of stroke patients' recovery in the at-home setting. RGS is an effective advanced digital tool for rehabilitation programs that uses Augmented Reality (AR)- and Virtual Reality (VR)-based gamified training grounded on neuroscientific principles, that has been shown to promote cognitive and motor recovery after a stroke at the clinic and home. There are many dedicated cognitive therapies, but most rehabilitation outcomes are mostly limited to the task trained and do not extend to day-to-day function or remain unconvincing. Based on recent literature, the PHRASE RGS-based system can provide an effective tool to address cognitive impairment using VR-based interventions. In a previous study, the neuropsychological test battery was compiled by the neuropsychologist and covered four cognitive domains: 1. basic attention, 2. memory (short-term memory), 3. visuospatial memory, and 4. executive function. All these functions were tested using VR-based tasks. The conclusion of this study confirms the possibility of addressing cognitive impairment effectively using VR-based interventions when properly mapped with clinical scales. The validation of the PHRASE system with post-stroke patients is needed to strengthen its usefulness and effectiveness for cognitive rehabilitation at home. For this, a feasibility study will be conducted to measure its usability, adherence, acceptance, and the user's experience. The investigators will also explore the effectiveness of the PHRASE system in improving cognitive function (attention, memory, executive function) after stroke. Participants: stroke patients at different time points after stroke (acute, subacute, and chronic), aged over 18 years. The participants will integrate the PHRASE technology into their daily routines in parallel to their regular neurorehabilitation treatment for 6 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to describe patients' clinical and self-reported outcomes of treatment with budesonide / glycopyrronium / formoterol Metered dose inhaler (BGF MDI) in Romania in real-life setting, up to 6 month of observation period. The study will focus primarily on the change in self-perceived health status in the first 12 weeks (3 months) of treatment with no pre-defined hypothesis.
Prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo- controlled, efficacy and safety phase 3 study of an intravenous human plasma- derived C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) concentrate in participants with congenital C1-INH deficiency for the treatment and pre-procedure prevention of acute hereditary angioedema attacks
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
The goal of this clinical trial is to confirm that SB27 works in the same way as Keytruda in metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • How effective the study drug is Participants will receive either investigational product (SB27 or Keytruda) and chemotherapy every 3 weeks. Researchers will compare SB27 and Keytruda to see if SB27 works in the same way as Keytruda.
Colonoscopy is an invaluable tool for the diagnosis and management of colon diseases, especially colorectal cancer (CRC) - the third most common cancer worldwide. Its unmatched ability to detect CRC and premalignant growths makes it the gold standard; however, it is not without its challenges. Patients often experience pre-procedure anxiety and discomfort primarily related to anticipated pain, which negatively impacts both the procedure and its outcomes. Colonoscopy procedural anxiety not only exacerbates the experience of pain, but also may compromise the quality of bowel preparation, augment procedure and recovery room times, and increase the use of sedation, particularly among females, who report greater pre-procedural anxiety, and perceive the procedure to be more painful and harder to endure. This underscores the importance of interventions aimed at mitigating anxiety to improve patient experience and adherence to colonoscopy procedures. The profound positive corelation between anxiety and pain impact on outcomes of colonoscopy warrants an investigation of comprehensive patient care strategies. A growing body of evidence indicates that non-pharmacologic interventions, such as music therapy and immersive virtual reality (iVR), may effectively reduce anxiety, pain, and enhance overall patient satisfaction. Understanding barriers to colonoscopy compliance, such as fear of cancer diagnosis, the perception of invasiveness, and feelings of embarrassment is paramount to enhancing CRC screening uptake, therefore lowering mortality.
This study aims to explore various psychosocial aspects and the potential benefits of respiratory techniques for physical therapy students.
This study aims to identify the prognostic role of procalcitonin (PCT), soluble Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1 (sTREM-1), the soluble form of the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and azurocidin 1 (AZU1) in 28-day mortality for patients with sepsis in Emergency Department.
