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.
Minimally-invasive operative techniques have been introduced in cardiac surgery. These techniques may have several advantages such as a decrease in post operative pain, lower morbidity and mortality, faster recovery, and a shorter hospital stay. However, these advantages have rarely been documented in the setting of a formal randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether valproate is effective and well tolerated in the treatment of neuropathic peripheral pain. The drug is administered by intravenous route followed by oral route during 4 weeks.
The aim of the study is to determine whether a therapeutic strategy combining mitoxantrone and interferon beta1b can delay disease progression of at least one point on EDSS scale in patients with clinically very active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
The first indication of hysterectomies in France are uterine leiomyomas. When they are symptomatic leiomyomas are particularly responsables of an increase of menstruations duration and volume. Echography is the reference exam for the diagnosis. It exists two treatments ways:-firstly progestatives and antifibrinolytics for the treatment of hemorragic symptoms, -secondly LH-RH analogs for the treatment of leiomyomas volume and hemorragic symptoms but just used for a small period because of the risk of osteoporosis. Different studies with different doses of mifepristone were released. The authors observe a decrease of leiomyomas volume. Based on this experience the present placebo controlled study has for objectives:-to confirm the efficacy of 10 mg oral mifepristone during 24 weeks in the volume decrease and in symptoms of leiomyomas, - to assess the safety of the treatment. The aim is to avoid or delay the hysterectomy of non menopausal patients. During the study patients will be evaluated with biological exams, clinical exams, echographies, medical interrogations and their diary cards.
The aim of this phase I/II trial is to determine the dose of daunorubicine to be associated with cytarabine and Imatinib for induction therapy in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in myeloid acute phase.
Bone marrow biopsy is a painful medical procedure often performed with local anesthetic. Therefore a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was carried out in 330 adult patients who where referred for bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. 164 were assigned to inhale an equimolar mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen and 166 to inhale a placebo. Pain measurement used visual-analogue pain scales, which involve rating the intensity of pain on a horizontal ruler
This study uses a sequence analysis for TWIST and other craniofacial development genes, among patients presenting with facial clefting.
This is a study of the expression of nogo and reticulon genes in the skeletal muscle of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Objective: To determine if the treatment of subclinical hyperthyroidism will reduce the rate of atrial fibrillation, the main complication of this condition.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and tolerance of 2 dosages (750 versus 500 units) of the Dysport type A botulinic toxin for patient suffering from neurogenic urinary incontinence by an overactive bladder and the failure of anticholinergic drugs.
