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.
The aim of the study is to assess the association between bladder sensations progression during bladder filling and severity of Overactive bladder (OAB) in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare neuroimmune syndromes with a wide range of clinical presentation but without pathognomonic clinical sign facilitating the diagnosis. A lot of differential diagnoses are possible such as neurodegenerative diseases or viral infections. Although rare the diagnosis of AE or PNS is essential because despite severe neurological symptoms, patients can be cured by appropriate immunotherapy. Autoantibodies highly specific of AE and PNS has been described in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of the patients and can be used as biomarkers of the disease. Their presence can predict an autoimmune origin and in many cases a good prognosis after immunotherapy. However, if some autoantibodies are now well-characterized and industrial kits have been developed to detect them, in numerous cases of highly suspect AE or PNS no specific autoantibodies are identified leading frequently to an inappropriate treatment. Furthermore, as the mechanisms of AE and PNS is still unknown, treatments are not optimal and in some cases inefficient. There is no prognosis biomarker able to predict the patient's sensitivity to immunotherapy and there are only few clues to know how the immune system can provoke the neuropsychiatric symptoms observed in the patients.
Moya Moya disease is a rare condition of the vessels that supply blood to the brain. It normally occurs without apparent cause. In both children and adults, the disease is mainly manifested by strokes. Diagnosis is made on MRI and cerebral angiography. There is no treatment that can prevent the arteries in the brain from narrowing. Surgical treatment may be a priority, especially in the early forms of the disease. Functional, painful disorders, in particular headaches, may persist after neurosurgical intervention, without any clear predictive factor being found. Otherwise there is a disjunction between the objectification of sequelae on MRI and painful complaints, sometimes a dissociation between the improvement of the objective parameters of perfusion and imaging, and functional somatic complaints. The study focuses on improving knowledge of post-operative functional disorders in Moya Moya disease in children and adolescents, in order to propose interventions based on this knowledge and making it possible to reduce both functional complaints and depression, the anxiety which accompanies them, to decrease the impact on the quality of life and parental wandering in the installation of adapted accompaniments. For this, a half-day consultation will be intended in order to carry out questionnaires and standardized tests, the results of which will be reported and compared to known rates in the general population and the population of children with chronic diseases.
Evaluation of the efficacy (wound epithelialization and time to closure) and tolerance (emergence and nature of adverse event) of the new URGO AWC_008 and URGO AWC_022 dressings in local management of acute and chronic wounds at risk of local infection or with clinical signs of local infection
With 50 patients included, this trial would be the largest pilot study evaluating the value of MRI PET in locally advanced rectal cancer. On the other hand, it would be the only pilot study performing several MRI PET during neoadjuvant treatment. Presumably, the response assessed at the 2nd MRI PET (before cycle 4 or induction chemotherapy) would be predictive of the overall response at the end of neoadjuvant treatment. Then, it would be possible to predict precociously the tumor response.
This is a multi-center, non-interventional and prospective study of patients receiving Epidyolex as part of standard clinical practice in France. The study will state an overview of patient characteristics and clinical history (including age, sex, diagnosis, duration of epilepsy, predominant seizure type, previous medications, current co-medications and Epidyolex dose), and an evaluation of retention rates, safety profile, seizure activity, changes in executive function and quality of life measured in a 2-year follow-up period.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical (pain) and functional (patient reported outcomes) efficacy of percutaneous discectomies under CT guidance to treat lumbar disc herniations resistant to conservative treatment and nerve root infiltrations. The aim is also to evaluate the economic impact of the procedure, mainly through the length of hospitalization and the time to return to work. Patients were evaluated initially before surgery and then at 1, 3 and 6 months.
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Its diagnosis is currently based on a non-invasive method including biology and imaging. Still currently incurable, the evolution of this pathology is burdened by numerous comorbidities, including iterative hospitalizations for heart failure leading to death. The Machine Learning approach has already shown its efficiency in terms of diagnosis but its prognostic approach has not yet been studied.
The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with an increase in psychiatric illnesses (depression, anxiety) in the general population due to the infectious and vital risk involved, changes in social structure, particularly in the family environment, episodes of confinement, and even professional instability. These international phenomena have also been observed in France. In addition to the constraints of the general population, health care workers have been, and continue to be, subject to other forms of constraints, linked to their professional activity. Indeed, the risk of viral exposure is for them major, the confrontation with the deaths of patients because of their fragility or the weakness of the care structures, are more violent in connection with their immediate reality. In addition, the workload due to health imperatives has also led to physical and psychological exhaustion of the health care teams. In addition to the international evidence, the existence and severity of the psychological consequences for health care workers have recently been documented at the local level in a survey conducted among the staff of the Groupe hospitalier Paris Saint-Joseph (GhPSJ). In this study of more than 780 people, nearly half of whom were in charge of patients infected with SARS-CoV2, 62% reported increased anxiety since the beginning of the epidemic, 41% had symptoms of anxiety, 21% had symptoms of depression and 14% had signs of post-traumatic stress. Approximately 25% of the total population had chosen to make regular use of the "bulle" (a decompression and care platform made available to staff since the first wave within the establishment) with the aim of reducing the anxiety generated by the situation and particularly by their professional activity. Given the importance of anxiety symptoms detected in healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of a simple, brief technique, requiring neither trained personnel nor expensive or difficult-to-access devices, aimed at reducing anxious stress could be of significant benefit to the population, especially to caregivers. The objective of this study is to measure the effect of deep breathing on the anxiety of health professionals in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its effect on their quality of life. In order to measure the quality of the sessions, the breathing movements will be performed using a calibrated program and their immediate effectiveness will be evaluated by the variation of the heart rate, visible just after the program by the user. The NeurodigitX® system offers to control interactive 3D games on a smartphone application through breath via a sensor connected to the phone by Bluetooth. This tool also allows to measure by plethysmography the heart rate variability in a simple and non-invasive way. This system has been created as a preventive health solution by allowing everyone to measure, compare and share the activity of their Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) to better predict, understand, prevent and treat certain chronic diseases.
