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 main objective is to assess the impact of smartphone application on adherence to a physical exercise program in chronic low back pain patients. Adherence to a physical exercise program will be assessed at the start of the protocol, at three weeks and six months. A control group will benefit from conventional care in a rehabilitation center and an intervention group will benefit from a conventional care in a rehabilitation center accompanied by education in the use of a smartphone application including physical exercises and information about low back pain. The hypothesis of the search is that adherence is better in intervention group than control group at 6 months due to education in the use of smartphone application.
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration is characterized by the presence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), which consists of abnormal blood vessels originating from the choroid that can lead to hemorrhage, fluid exudation, and fibrosis, resulting in photoreceptor damage and vision loss. The safety and efficacy of brolucizumab were assessed in 2 randomized, multicenter, double-masked, active treatment-controlled Phase 3 studies in nAMD patients (the HAWK study (RTH258-C001 [NCT02307682]) and the HARRIER study (RTH258-C002 [NCT02434328]). Accordingly, a new Phase 3b study (TALON, CRTH258A2303) is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in a Treat-to-Control (TtC) regimen for the treatment of naïve patients with nAMD. In this TtC regimen, patients receive 3 consecutive injections every 4 weeks and then the injection interval is extended by 4 weeks up to a maximum of a 16-week interval. The decision to extend or reduce the injection interval is taken by the Investigator at each visit based on his/her judgment of disease activity, according to the patient visual and/or anatomic outcomes. If there is no disease activity, the injection interval can be extended by 4 weeks ; if disease activity occurs or recurs, the injection interval should be shortened accordingly by 4 weeks at a time or to a minimal interval of 8 weeks. The injection interval can also be maintained if the Investigator deems that the patient do not benefit from injection interval adjustment. Since all these studies were conducted in a naïve nAMD patient population, no data are available on the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab in pretreated nAMD patients who still present active exudation.
Malignant pleural effusions cause breathlessness and impairs quality of life. Thoracocentesis is frequently used to relieve breathlessness. The severity of breathlessness correlates poorly with the size of the effusion. Symptom reduction from fluid drainage varies between patients. No predictors exist to identify which patients benefits more of pleural effusion. One study suggests that a inverted hemidiaphramatic (inverted shape) is associated with a greater dyspnea improvement. Others parameters of diaphragmatic motion have not been studied till now. This study aims to evaluate the feasability of diaphragmatic ultrasound evaluation (shape by B-mode, quiet, deep inspiratory motion and sniff diaphragm motion by TM-mode) before and after pleural drainage. Primary end point aims to evaluate the feasability of deep breath inspiratory excursion in ipsilateral side of thoracocentesis by anterior subcostal approach in the mid-clavicular line in the right in patients with malignant pleural effusions. The liver or spleen was identified as a window for each hemidiaphragm. Secondary end points aim to evaluate - the feasability of quiet breath inspiratory motion , - the feasability of sniff diaphragm motion - the feasability of deep breath inspiratory motion by posterior method - the comparaison of feasibility with different types of breathing and or anterior or posterior approach for ultrasound - the feasability of the shape by B-mode. - the correlation between the change of the shape of ipsilateral diaphragm and the evolution of dyspnea, before and after thoracocentesis. - the correlation between the volume of pleural effusion evacuated and the evolution of dyspnea, before and after thoracocentesis. - the comparaison of the changing of dyspnea in patients with noticed paradoxal movement of diaphragm before thoracocentesis and patients with persistent paradoxal/or non persistant paradoxal movement of ipsilateral hémidiaphragm. - the correlation between the feasability of diaphragmatic ultrasound motion measurments evaluation and the body mass index. - the comparaison between the different diaphragmatic ultrsound times for anterior or posterior approach.
The aim of the study is to record and analyze endoscopist and endoscope motions to identify key movements during colonoscopy.
A technic of tracheal, carinal or bronchial transplantation using a stented cryopreserved aortic has been implemented by Pr E. Martinod in his thoracic surgery dept. The purpose of this study is to analyze the records of all the patients who have benefited from this treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of a newly developed tool (Electrochemical Skin Conductances (ESC) measurement) easy-to-perform, non-invasive, highly reproductible and not requiring specific training, to identify pediatric chemotherapy-induced-peripheral-neuropathies (CIPN). CIPN are a frequent (20 to 75% depending on the drug), early and potentially severe long-lasting and dose limiting adverse effect of treatments in immuno-hematology and cancerology. The pathophysiology, the chronology of injury (ie small then large sensory nerve fiber or vice-versa) and the age-related short/long-term impact on peripheral nerves remain largely not understood. Clinical signs of CIPN are highly heterogenous, often under-recognized and include diverse sensory symptoms and pain. Persistent loss of sensation and strength as well as neuropathic pain may have a short/long-term impact in term of functional limitations and quality of life. There is a lack of specific and sensitive measurement tools for CIPN in the pediatric population. Neurophysiological tools (except electro-neuro-myography allowing only the assessment of large myelinated nerves) are not implemented in the pediatric oncology-hematology everyday practice: they are often invasive and/or poorly reproducible, not accessible for "bedside" follow-up, and lacking normative values, thus often dedicated only to research. ESC may provide an early and quantitative assessment of small fiber dysfunction in children, a prerequisite for the identification of additional preventive or curative approaches in CIPN.
A normative development concerning the mechanical resistance tests of the the femoral stems led to contraindicate, in September 2014, to implant Meije Duo ™ femoral stems size 1 or 2 in patients weighing more than 60 kg due to an assumed risk of femoral stem breakage. This contraindication is based on standardized mechanical tests which may have not taken into account the changes in patient weight that may occur after the intervention. To date, investigators have not been aware of any Meije Duo ™ size 1/2 brakeage in our patients implanted with this type of prosthesis regardless of their weights before 2014. However, it is possible that some of them have had a prostheses failure and consulted another hospital. In the absence of a clinical study on this problem, investigators decided to set up a health care assessment study collecting retrospective and prospective information from our patients.
Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is a serious health issue that should be managed in order to limit its adverse health consequences. SAS is known to induce cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and depression. The prevalence of SAS is still growing with social and economic repercussion. Today, polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard reference method for SAS diagnosis. However, it is a constraining and expensive technology. In order to improve patients' life quality, many new technologies have been developed for the SAS diagnosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Sunrise®, a new medical integrated solution for SAS diagnosis, in comparison with PSG. This solution consists in a chin sensor recording mandibular movements and measuring the respiratory event index (ERI) through an artificial intelligence algorithm analysis.
Prospective open-label, non-randomized, monocentric, cohort study, to assess the prevalence and severity of sleep apnea syndrome in patients treated for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract. The patient follows a usual course of care including, at the end of the treatment of his cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract, screening for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome at 3 months and 6 months (Epworth score and ventilatory polygraphy)
Patulous eustachian tube (ET) is a usually asymptomatic poorly known ET pathology. When it becomes so and thus impairs the eardrum (retraction pockets, cholesteatoma) or patients' quality of life (QoL), therapeutic management is proposed. The surgical treatment has diversified in recent years but remains dominated by filling spaces around the ET (autologous fat and/or septal cartilage grafting). Efficiency is traditionally objectivized by dynamic otoscopy, tubomanometry and audiometry, but QoL must also be taken into account and its postoperative assesment was the objective of this work. Materials and Methods This is a unicentric retrospective study conducted from November 2016 to March 2019 on all patients with a disabling patulous ET, single or bilateral, managed surgically by autologous fat and/or septal cartilage grafting in investigators ENT department. Patients for whom a concomitant procedure was performed were excluded from the study. The post-operative QoL assessment was performed using the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI), postoperative self-administered questionnaire validated in ENT, including a general, physical and social evaluation. Predictive factors for QoL improvement were investigated among pre-, per- and post-operative clinical data.
