There are about 36633 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in France. 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.
Correcting of the lack of regularity in steps is a key component of gait rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease. The proposal is to introduce adaptive spatial auditory cueing (ASAC) based on verbal instruction "lengthen the step" automatically delivered when the stride length decreased below a predetermined threshold. The present study compared the effect of usual rhythmic auditory cueing versus ASAC used during a walking training in Parkinson's disease.
The aim of the study is to describe the evolution of caloric intake in patients with cystic fibrosis with an indication to start treatment with Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor according to the Marketing Authorization, between the start of treatment and at 12 months.
Bowel urgency is commonly defined as the sudden need to rush to the bathroom to empty one's bowel. In the field of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)), bowel urgency is part of the top five research priorities for future IBD nursing research, and it is a symptom that patients consider to be most important when prioritizing their disease control. Urgency is a patient-reported outcome associated with compromised quality of life and future risk of hospitalizations, corticosteroids, and colectomy in patients with UC. A meta-analysis of 321 studies examining bowel urgency revealed that only one-third of these clinical studies clearly defined the concept of bowel urgency. Definition of bowel urgency was heterogeneous as 14 different definitions were identified. In most of these studies, non-validated questionnaires were used. They are based on subjective responses of the patients, and they could determine evaluation bias. These data emphasize the lack of standardization in bowel urgency assessment.
The goal of this observational study is to use the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 24442:2011 in vivo method for assessment of the Ultraviolet A Protection Factor (UVAPF) of topical sunscreen products in healthy adults. The main question it aims to answer is to determine the degree of UVA-protection against UVA radiation. An area of each subject's skin is exposed to UVA light without any protection and another (different) area is exposed after application of the sunscreen product under test. One further area is exposed after application of a reference UVA sunscreen formulation (S2), which is used to validate the procedure.
Since the spread of the COVID-19 disease, several studies have reported the presence of neurological symptoms in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 such as dysgeusia, hypo or anosmia, hypopsia, the presence of headaches or neuralgia. It has also been described an inconsistent association, in the most severe patients, neurological disorders such as labile arterial hypertension, persistent central fever, vigilance disorders as well as a poor adaptation of the cardio vascular and respiratory systems characterized by paradoxical bradycardia and the frequent absence of polypnea in response to profound hypoxemia. These different functional signs are usually described in particular in patients with impairment of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in connection with other neuropathological processes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test to efficacy of a probiotic blend on stress and skin appearance in young females. It is hypothesized that those taking the probiotic blend will have decreased levels of perceived stress and this will be reflected positively on their skin appearance.
Objective : To study and support the hospitalization and the return home of patients with the help of a psychological follow-up started in a hospital institution and which will continue in the patient's home, based on the concepts of transitionality and narrativity. Material and method To do this, the subjects will benefit from psychological interviews where they will freely discuss what concerns them, whether it is illness, treatment, returning home, or any other personal subject. They will be divided into two groups of 5 patients each, one of the groups will benefit from follow-up in an institution as contracted for several years between the Institute of Hematology and the psychologists of the UMDSP, another from the same follow-up but with the presence of the psychologist at the time of discharge extended to the patient's home after leaving the hospital for a period of 2 months. To ensure a certain consistency in the evaluation criteria, these will be standardized in the form of questionnaires completed blindly by the patient, a caregiver and the investigator, at 3 key times of the research (entry, discharge from hospital, two months after this discharge) Device tested: The aim of this work is to test the benefits of a device based on transitionality, which can limit, thanks to the restoration of the symbolization process, the deleterious effects of each of the stages imposed by the disease, the care and the resumption of autonomy once the active phase of care has passed. Narrativity is also at the heart of this transitional device. It makes it possible to evoke the present experience of the patient in connection with future projects and in the continuity of past, potentially traumatic events. It opens onto a dynamic temporal perspective where the trauma freezes. The whole process promotes the subjective reappropriation of the experience and a psychic well-being.
Predicting the outcome of pituitary surgery, particularly the risk of complications, is a critical determinant in selecting the appropriate treatment modality for patients. To date, only a limited number of risk factors have been identified for complications following pituitary surgery, including tumor size, younger age, and previous surgical intervention. Furthermore, existing studies have demonstrated that prolactin levels can serve as a surrogate marker for assessing pituitary function, specifically revealing associations between elevated prolactin levels and anterior pituitary insufficiencies. In a retrospective study on the "HYP'OP" cohort, the aim of the study is to identify predictive factors for both surgical outcomes and complications.
The ceramic-ceramic friction pair is widely used today in total hip arthroplasty, including fourth-generation ceramics which show the lowest wear rate. These have considerably reduced the risk of head fracture compared to previous generations; however, the risk of insert rupture persists with rates similar to those of third generation ceramics. These ceramic fractures require complex revision surgery, which brings complications, exposing patients to the risk of third-body wear and tear related to persistent post-surgical debris. They are frequently due to an incorrect assembly of the ceramic causing intraoperative or early postoperative rupture. To fix this, manufacturers have developed pre-assembled cups in the factory. The Dynacup One C cup developed by Corin® corresponds to the pre-assembled version of the Dynacup cup, making it possible to eliminate the risk of anomaly during intraoperative assembly linked to the human factor and to offer patients with very small cups an adapted ceramic implant. A single study with a small sample compared the two implants (pre-assembled version [vs] modular version) clinically, radiologically and functionally without showing any significant difference. The lack of data in the literature comparing these two implants motivated us to conduct a randomized comparative study on a large sample of patients.
Primary arthroplasties are frequent interventions that can present hemorrhagic complications: postoperative hematoma, deglobulization justifying monitoring blood tests and blood transfusion if necessary. The attitude regarding the drainage of the surgical site supposed to limit these events differs from one surgeon to another, even in the same team. Its use is common practice; for some, systematic. For others, depending on intraoperative findings or the patient's condition. For others, the drain is never laid. Faced with the divergence of data from the literature on the benefit of the placement of a drain for intra and postoperative bleeding in knee arthroplasty, the lack of randomized prospective studies on large series of patients, and in a desire to homogenization and standardization of the operating procedure of our surgeons, investigators decided to conduct this prospective interventional, comparative and randomized study.
