Additionally, among the basics theme the re-mean is introduced, ie changing the direction, the function of a concept from a negative context carry a positive meaning, so that from the PNIT no disease is seen as a problem but as a situation to solve. The patient then transmits the importance of which will come.

Primary objective:

To investigate whether patients on PNIT have a higher proportion of patients achieving disease control (<7% in glycosylated hemoglobin (HBAC1) and quality of life compared with conventional treatment patients.

Methodology:

quasi-experimental, simple blind, simple blind, parallel, phase III clinical trial The investigators will follow a group of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus durgin three months with an interim analysis a month after receiving the intervention (two visits) During each visit a trained PNIT physician assess the effectiveness, safety and quality of life of each patient.

The investigators will include male or female patients aged 18 years-old with diabetes mellitus type II in any severity, uncontrolled (> 7% Glycosilated Haemoglobin (HbAc1)) and any treatment regimen included.

The patients are not allocated by a random process and the investigators will have a convenience sample

The investigators will perform an intention to treat analysis, patients will be analyzed according to the intervention received even if this was different from the one they were assigned.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing psychoneuroimmune therapy and Conventional treatment in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Fundación Salutia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAc1 %) (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Sep 2015.
