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.
Respiratory Rehabilitation (RR) is based on a comprehensive multidisciplinary program of personalized and tailored care for patients with chronic respiratory diseases. The effectiveness of RR in improving quality of life and exercise capacity has long been demonstrated in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). More recently, its interest has been highlighted in other chronic respiratory pathologies: asthma, interstitial pathologies, cancer, restrictive pathologies or pulmonary arterial hypertension. Although the efficacy of RR has been well demonstrated on the scale of a patient population, the benefits derived on an individual scale remain unpredictable and variable from one individual to another, without knowing the major determinants of this benefit. Empirically, RR professionals suspect an association between some psychosocial characteristics and the importance of the benefit derived by patients from RR programmes. Individual personality traits and their relationship to health status, integration into a group, interaction with other group members, and the existence of anxiety or depressive symptoms may be determinants of RR benefit. These psychosocial determinants could also play a central role in the patients' adherence to the long-term rehabilitation process. The hypothesis being tested is that there is an association between personality traits, anxiety, depressive symptoms, social support, and the benefit of an initial course of RR and the subsequent continuation of maintenance practices.
Age-related macular degeneration is a chronic degenerative retinal disease, which can lead to a progressive loss of visual acuity without affecting peripheral vision. It is a public health problem as it remains the leading cause of visual impairment in people over 50 years of age in industrialized countries. Age-related macular degeneration has two clinical forms: - Atrophic or dry form: progressive disappearance of photoreceptors, alteration of the pigmentary epithelium leading to a thinning of the macula. - Exudative or humid form: development of immature choroidal neo-vessels, leading to the formation of edema or intra or sub-retinal hemorrhage at the origin of the symptoms. There are still many questions about the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration, and there is currently no etiological treatment. The disorder is thought to have a multifactorial, genetic and environmental origin. Among the environmental risk factors, dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated acids and its effect on the retina are factors that influence both the incidence and progression of the disease. However, intervention studies have not been able to demonstrate the preventive value of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is likely that the precise identification of patients who could benefit from this supplementation is necessary. Currently, the estimation of dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is based on dietary surveys, which implies a number of limits. A blood biomarker of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content in the retina has been previously identified, which if lowered may be a risk factor for age-related macular degeneration. A low level could also help to identify patients who would best respond to supplementation. A publication has been submitted and a patent has been filed for this biomarker. The objective of this project is to confirm the relationship between this biomarker and the presence of age-related macular degeneration. The analysis will be refined by correlating the discriminating character of the biomarker with factors that may influence the intestinal metabolism of dietary lipids and their bioavailability in the blood. For this purpose, the status of the subjects with regard to their intestinal flora (microbiota) will be evaluated. The relationship between lipid metabolism, microbiota and age-related macular degeneration should also provide a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms that link diet, lipid metabolism and age-related macular degeneration.
The main objective is to demonstrate that hyperoxia in cardiac surgery increase the occurrence of post-operative pulmonary complications
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, efficacy and safety study of firibastat (QGC001) administered po bid over 12 weeks in male and female subjects ≥18 years of age at Screening, with uncontrolled primary HTN. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to investigational product (IP) and will receive either firibastat (QGC001) or matching placebo on top of their current chronic antihypertensive treatments.
"Transend" is a program designed to promote the transition of young patients with endocrine or metabolic diseases when they arrive in the adult sector at La Pitié-Salpétrière hospital. The main objective of the study is to compare the rate of patients lost to follow-up at 24 months after the transfer of pediatrics between the Transend group and the (historical) control group.
Patients treated with Maxillofacial Prosthesis have loss of maxillary and/or mandibular substances. Few data are available on quality of life of these patients and its association with some of their socio-demographic, medical and clinical characteristics.
The main objective of the study conducted in subjects aged 65 or older visiting the French Balaruc-les-bains climatic health resort was to : - Determine factors that distinguish fallers from not fallers - Determine factors that may predict falls and injurious falls, 3 and 6 months after the stay in the resort - Determine the effects of the 3-week stay in the health resort on quality of life, fear of falling, fatigue, and physical activity
Postoperative respiratory complication is a common complication that occurs in 6% of patients after cardiac surgery and increases morbidity and mortality and hospital length of stay. Diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) is one of the main risk factors for post-operative respiratory distress syndrome. It alters the ventilatory mechanical function of patients and promotes pneumonia. In the literature, risk factors included older age, diabetes, harvesting of a mammary artery, intraoperative ice solution using, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass and intra-operative phrenic nerve injury. Ultrasonography using the two-dimensional (2D) mode is a diagnosis tool for DD. For patients with DD, ultrasound criteria are: 1) an excursion during quiet breathing < 9 mm for woman and < 10 mm for man, 2) an excursion after sniff test < 16 mm for woman and < 18 mm for man and 3) an excursion during deep breathing < 37 mm for woman and < 47 mm for man. A paradoxical diaphragmatic ascent may also be observed during inspiration. DD may be transient, linked to mechanical factors such as pain, the presence of pleural and mediastinal drains, lying down or sternotomy; with recovery from 5 postoperative days. It may be more prolonged (persistent after 7 days) in connection with a partial or complete phrenic nerve injury and / or diaphragmatic devascularization after mammary artery harvesting. The aim of this prospective study is to determine the incidence of persistent DD after cardiac surgery.
