Clinical trials

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of collagen mesotherapy in the treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP) in the lumbosacral spine. Mesotherapy is expected to reduce pain in the lumbosacral region, decrease soft tissue tension (including muscles, fascia, and ligaments), improve spinal mobility, and support subsequent physiotherapy. A total of five treatment sessions will be performed at weekly intervals. During each session, approximately 20 intradermal microinjections will be administered into the paraspinal soft tissues of the lumbosacral region. Participants will receive injections of either type I tropocollagen, 1% lignocaine (lidocaine), or a combination of both, with a volume of 0.1 mL per injection.

The study includes adult patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with interstitial lung disease (ILD) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nintedanib plus tocilizumab combination therapy compared to standard therapy (methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil) for 56 weeks.

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind (pharmacotherapy), placebo-controlled, and comprehensive physiotherapy and nutritional intervention phase II clinical trial to determine the usefulness of nandrolone decanoate in a new indication (sarcopenia). Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive nandrolone decanoate (50 mg intramuscular injection over four visits every 3 weeks) or placebo (1 ml volume equivalent to 50 mg intramuscular nandrolone decanoate dose) for 12 weeks (83-85 days ). Both groups will receive comprehensive physiotherapy and nutritional intervention. There will be 5 outpatient visits to the research center. The procedures and assessments performed as part of the study are listed in the study schedule. It is planned to include 168 patients in the study, which, assuming a 10% level of non-completion of the program, will result in the examination of 152 patients (76 in each arm). The study will cover people aged over 60 to 99 years of age with confirmed muscle weakness measured with a hand dynamometer (\< 27 kg for men and 16 kg for women) and with a decrease in: muscle mass of upper and lower limbs (ASMM) (7.0 kg/m2 height in men and 5.5 kg/m2 in women) or total muscle mass of the upper and lower extremities (\< 20 kg in men and \< 15 kg in women) by densitometry.

The study includes adult patients with SAPHO syndrome (ORPHA: 793), meeting the modified classification criteria according to Kahn (2003), with the ineffectiveness of standard treatment (patient's global assessment of the disease on the VAS scale greater than or equal to 4 cm with accompanying pain on the VAS scale greater than or equal to 4 cm) treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in a stable dose for at least 4 weeks and/or classical disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in stable doses for at least 12 weeks.

Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a chronic, multifactorial syndrome characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and cognitive disturbances. This interventional study evaluates the impact of structured physical training using diagnostic-training devices (Zebris treadmill and Alfa balance platform) and transcutaneous neuromodulation (NESA X-Signal) on pain, sleep quality, and overall health status in patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptom. Participants are allocated into three groups: 1. Physical training + conventional physiotherapy, 2. Transcutaneous neuromodulation + conventional physiotherapy, 3. Control (conventional physiotherapy only). The results will support the development of evidence-based rehabilitation protocols for fibromyalgia patients.
