Introducción:
Los trastornos del sistema nervioso y de la mente, son multicausales y complejos de abordar, lo cual los hace un importante objetivo de investigar. Globalmente estas enfermedades representan la primera causa de discapacidad y segunda de muerte, Latinoamérica y el Caribe no escapan de esta realidad.
Objetivos:
Determinar las brechas de investigación en neurociencias clínicas, relacionadas con la procedencia del financiamiento, los estudios realizados sin aprobación ética del consejo nacional de bioética, los títulos de los estudios relacionándolos con las prioridades nacionales y el tipo de estudio elaborado.
Materiales y métodos:
Se redactó un estudio observacional, descriptivo de fuentes secundarias para distinguir las investigaciones en campos de neurociencias ciencias clínicas realizados en República Dominicana en el periodo 2005-2023, se incluyeron todos los individuos con afecciones neurológicas, psiquiátricas, cognitivas y neuroquirúrgicas, sin considerar institución colaboradora y origen de financiamiento.
Resultados:
Las investigaciones en salud representaron el 17% de todas las investigaciones financiadas por el FONDOCYT, de estas el 18% estaban relacionadas con temas de neurociencias clínicas. De las investigaciones elaboradas por instituciones internacionales, el 48.6% fueron del área de la salud, de las cuales el 7.7% fueron sobre neurociencias. Los estudios en neurociencias clínicas representaron el 2.2% de todas las investigaciones registradas en Clinical Trials.
Conclusión:
Se observó las discrepancias entre los proyectos de investigación según las prioridades nacionales, financiadas por entidades del sector público, privado e internacionales. También se han evidenciado discrepancias en la aprobación ética por el Consejo Nacional de Bioética y el Clinical Trials.
Introduction: Disorders of the nervous system and mind are multifactorial and complex to address, which makes them an important target for investigation. Globally, these illnesses represent the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death. Latin America and the Caribbean are not exempt from this reality. Objectives: To determine the research gaps in clinical neurosciences related to the origin of funding, studies conducted without ethical approval from the national bioethics’ council, the titles of studies relating them to national priorities, and the type of studies conducted. Materials and Methods: An observational, descriptive study of secondary sources was drafted to identify research in the fields of clinical neurosciences conducted in the Dominican Republic from 2005 to 2023. All individuals with neurological, psychiatric, cognitive, and neurosurgical conditions were included, regardless of collaborating institution and funding origin. Results: Health-related research accounted for 17% of all studies funded by FONDOCYT, with 18% of these studies related to clinical neurosciences. Among research conducted by international institutions, 48.6% were in the field of health, and 7.7% of these focused on neurosciences. Studies in clinical neurosciences represented 2.2% of all investigations registered in Clinical Trials. Conclusion: Discrepancies were observed among research projects based on national priorities, funded by entities from the public, private, and international sectors. Discrepancies were also evident in ethical approval between the National Bioethics Council and Clinical Trials.
