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.
Patients at high risk of preterm birth are hospitalized with an high stress for their child's future. In order to better prepare the patient to a possible preterm delivery we use to propose her a visit of the neonatology unit. However, as a result of their obstetrical condition and of the pediatric staff disponibility, this visit is not always possible. Virtual Reality (VR) is well known to provide an immersive experience while staying in a unique place. Our project is to propose a virtual visit of the delivery room, neonatology unit and intensive care unit to all hospitalized patients at risk of preterm delivery in order to prepare and decompress them.
Prospective multicenter study designed to test the feasibility of the UroMems Artificial Urinary Sphincter.
An inflammatory component associated with AMD has been highlighted by genetic associations of predisposition to AMD, as well as by the recently demonstrated link between AMD and periodontitis. Some patients followed at the Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild Hospital for wet AMD seemed to show an improvement of neovascular activity (less need for intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF) after treatment of their sinusitis. The investigators would therefore like to assess the link between AMD and sinusitis, an infection close to the site of AMD.
In this study, the investigators tend to highlight pre and peroperative factors that predict major postoperative complication after a surgery for resection of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Factors associated with major postoperative complications were used to elaborate un predictive nomogram model. A score was assigned for each factor of the nomogram which correspond to the weight of the association of the factor with the occurrence of the major postoperative complication. The nomogram assessed the probability of major postoperative complication after surgery by adding up the scores identified on the "Points" scale for each factor. The total score projected from the "Total points" axis to the "Risk of major postoperative complication" axis, indicated the probability of major postoperative complication occurrence. A cut-off of total score was calculated to identify patients at low or high risk for major postoperative complications. The developed nomogram may be a helpful tool to adapt postoperative monitoring of patients after surgery of peritoneal carcinomatosis resection according to the risk of occurrence of a major postoperative complication.
Since june 2021, vaccination against the SARS-Cov2 virus is recommanded in France to all children from 12 to 18 years old. In the specific population of teenagers living with juvenile arthritis, the vaccine seems to be safe and well tolerated. It has been shown previously that this population has a vaccine coverage lower than the global population even though few datas are available on this topic The aim of this resarch is to study the vaccination coverage against the SARS-Cov2 virus and more specifically the reasons why adolescents were or were not vaccinated in the population of adolescents with juvenile arthitis followed up in Angers, Nantes and Rennes. For this purpose, a review of the medical record will be done and a questionnaire will be adressed to the family of patients in order to collect informations about the disease, the treatments, the motives or obstacles to vaccination. Secondaries end points are safety of the vaccination, consequences on the juvenile arthritis (such as changes in the medication, flare-up of the illness) and the occurence of covid infection after vaccination.
The study focuses on the impact of a digital MEDIASCREEN tool on the knowledge, technical know-how and behavioural skills in terms of pressure sores of patients. In addition, the cognitive impact of this type of tool will also be studied in our study population (self-esteem and feeling of personal effectiveness). The objective is to compare the impact of a digital MEDIASCREEN information tool with information tool compared to the usual paper-based prevention materials on knowledge of the risk of hospital-acquired pressure sores.
Peripheral facial palsy affects 15 to 40 people per 100,000 inhabitants and induces important functional and social repercussions. Synkinesis is a frequent after-effect of facial palsy recovery, consisting of involuntary facial spasms that disturb the gestural harmony and can go as far as a painful hypertonic spasm. More than 55% of patients recovering from facial palsy will develop transient or permanent synkinesis. These facial hypertonias have two main causes: imperfect axonal regeneration, which is all the more important as the damage is proximal, and hyperexcitability of the facial nerve nucleus due to a lack of central control. Management is therefore essential for the functional restoration of the face, especially since synkinesis do not evolve spontaneously. The main treatments are currently botulinum toxin injection, acting on the motor plate, and functional rehabilitation, consisting on local muscle relaxation and central motor control work. In recent years, therapies based on biofeedback and acting on central motor control have shown interesting results, and technological advances in virtual reality have made it possible to deepen this treatment in patients suffering from stroke, limb trauma or Parkinson's disease. In this project, the investigators evaluate the contribution of virtual reality to the management of facial palsy, and hypothesize that self-rehabilitation using this technology will improve motor control of the skin muscles and reduce complications related to their hypertonia such as synkinesis.
To evaluate, over a period of six months, the links between physiological data collected such as electrodermal activity (or Galvanic Skin Response), motor activity measured by accelerometer, heartbeat measured by photoplestimograph and the clinical evaluation performed by the physician, in patients suffering from major depression disorder.
Congenital heart disease is a common abnormality in newborns. The marked improvement in the surgical management of congenital heart disease has led to a reduction in postoperative mortality, historically a quality criterion for surgical and resuscitation management. With the improvement of medical knowledge and surgical techniques, mortality is no longer a single quality criterion for a center and the search for other quality criteria is essential.
Pancreatic duodenectomy is one of the treatments offered to patients with neoplastic disease of the pancreas. In France, in 2018, 14,000 duodeno-pancreatectomies were performed, including 140 at the Hautepierre hospital at the Strasbourg University Hospital. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major surgery, causing significant postoperative pain that should be minimized through multimodal analgesia involving in particular locoregional anesthesia. Since 2019, the recommendations of the ERAS company concerning ERAS (Improved Rehabilitation After Surgery) after pancreaticoduodenectomy recommend the establishment of thoracic epidural analgesia in order to limit postoperative pain. When there is a contraindication to the placement of a thoracic epidural, in particular due to arterial and/or venous vascular reconstructions requiring potential perioperative curative anticoagulation, the administration of local anesthetic by pericatricial catheter is recommended. recommended. The Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block has proven analgesic efficacy, safety and harmlessness in colorectal surgery.
