There are about 36818 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in China. 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.
Research methods 1 Data collection and evaluation tools 1. The general data record sheet was self-designed by the research team, and the collected content included age, gender, BMI, occupation, general family status, economic situation, history of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, history of anxiety and depression, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, blood pressure and heart rate before and after intervention, disease diagnosis and severity, etc. 2. The anxiety was self-scored using the VAS-A (0-10 points), with 0 point as no anxiety and 10 as severe anxiety. 3. Negative emotional intensity was scored using the subjective unit of disturbance scale (SUDS, 0-10 points), with 0 point as no and 10 points as severe. 4. Nursing satisfaction was scored by the self-designed questionnaire (1-5 points): 5 points, very satisfied; 4 points, relatively satisfied; 3 points, satisfied; 2 points, medium; 1 point, dissatisfied. 2 Intervention method of the control group The control group was given routine nursing. After entering the pre-anesthesia room, the patients were scored using the VAS-A, and those with VAS-A score ≥ 5 were considered to meet the inclusion criteria. After identity authentication, the preoperative precautions and reasons for waiting in the pre-anesthesia room were explained to the patients, and answers were provided to the questions raised by the patients. After routine nursing, VAS-A score was recorded, blood pressure and heart rate were monitored, and nursing satisfaction was inquired. The survey of patient satisfaction with nursing was completed before entering the operating room. 3 Intervention method of the experimental group 3.1 Researcher training Before intervention, 4 nurses were trained for 5 d by a nurse with EFT qualification certificate, 1 h per day. The training content included: theoretical knowledge of EFT, tapping techniques, etc. After training, two assessments were conducted. Only those who scored above 90 points in both assessments could participate in the study. 3.2 Operating instructions The acupoint diagram was distributed to the experimental group by nurses, and the essentials and precautions of acupoint tapping were explained. The nurses demonstrated and tapped the acupoints on the patients while explaining, and then instructed them to tap on their own until they were able to complete the task independently and proficiently. For patients with upper limb vein puncture, proper fixation and close observation were needed, and the flexible nature of the puncture needle that would not affect operations was explained to the patients to eliminate their concerns. 3.3 Intervention content After routine nursing, the patients received EFT intervention. In addition, subjective anxiety was scored, blood pressure and heart rate were monitored, and nursing satisfaction was surveyed after admission and intervention. The specific methods are as follows. 1. Preparation stage The patients with VAS-A score ≥ 5 meeting the inclusion criteria were in a comfortable position with eyes closed, and adopted breathing exercise to relax their whole body. The patients were guided to summarize the main current distresses, such as fear, tension, pain, surgical prognosis, economic burden, etc., name the caused negative emotions, and use the SUDS to evaluate the intensity of negative emotions. The patients were asked to recite silently the prompt "Although I am very ** (a negative emotional word) now, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself" while tapping. 2. Tapping stage The patients were guided to gently massage the sore points on both sides of the body (2-3 fingers below the midpoint of the clavicle) with their five fingers together in a clockwise direction, while silently reciting the prompt 3 times. Then, the patients were guided to close their index and middle fingers together and gently tap the Zanzhu, Tongziliao, Chengqi, Renzhong, Chengjiang, Shufu, Dabao and Baihui acupoints successively with their fingertips at 2-3 times/s and the force they can bear. The prompt was recited silently when tapping each acupoint. After 3-5 rounds of tapping, 3 deep breaths were taken to re-evaluate the intensity of negative emotions. 3. Feedback stage After tapping, the patients communicated with the nurses at least once about their evaluated negative emotional intensity score and whether the score was accepted. If the tapping effect was not obvious, the evaluation was conducted by nurses, and the patients were guided to massage the sore points while silently reciting the prompt 3 times. To relieve reverse psychological drive, tapping was continued until the intensity of negative emotions reduced.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication after surgery that is associated with more adverse events and death. The goal of this observational study is to learn about the diagnosis performance of long intergenic non-coding RNA(LINC01844) level in blood of older people for POCD. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the relative level of LINC01844 in blood help diagnose POCD of older people after surgery? Participants undergoing elective lumbar decompression and fusion will finish neuropsychological evaluations one day before and 1st, 3rd and 5th day after surgery. At the same timepoint, the relative level of LINC01844 in blood will also be tested.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sivelestat sodium and dexamethasone in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe ARDS. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is Sivelestat sodium more effective in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe ARDS compared with placebo? - Is dexamethasone more effective in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe ARDS compared with placebo? Participants will receive Sivelestat sodium, dexamethasone or placebo. Researchers will compare the efficacy and safety of Sivelestat sodium, dexamethasone and placebo.
The goal of this interventional study is to learn if life review works to improve the sense of meaning in life in older adults with disabilities who live at home. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does life review enhance the sense of meaning in life of participants? Does life reviews enhance the life satisfaction of participants. Does life reviews enhance the quality of life of participants? Researchers will compare the life review program to routine community health services to see if the life review intervention program is effective in enhancing the sense of meaning in life of older adults with disabilities who live at home. Participants will: Take face-to-face life review interview or routine community health service every week for 6 weeks. Take the the questionnaire survey before and after the six-week life review intervention.
