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 objective is the determination of norms on healthy subjects, by age groups (20-29/30-39/40-49/50-59/60-69/70-79/80-89 years) for the posturological evaluation of four posture tests: the sensory organization test, the motor coordination test, the adaptation test, the stability limit test.
Two studies carried out in 2011 at the Center for Contraception and Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (CIVG) at the Louis-Mourier Hospital, evaluated the pain of patients undergoing an abortion, and looked for predictors of the pain felt during an abortion. medication or aspiration under local anesthesia. These predictive factors of pain are today integrated into the interview during a request for abortion at the CIVG of Louis-Mourier. This new study, on care data, prospective and monocentric conducted at the CIVG, of the Louis Mourier hospital, will make it possible to verify whether the knowledge of these predictive factors of pain has made it possible to improve the management of pain in women undergoing an abortion. The main objective is to assess the pain felt by the patient during a medical abortion or by aspiration under local anesthesia, knowing the predictive factors of pain highlighted by two studies carried out in 2011. The secondary objective is to highlight a significant difference in pain after application of an analgesic protocol indexed on predictive factors of pain. The study will be carried out in two successive periods: A first period of 4 months will consist in evaluating the pain felt by women having a medical abortion or by aspiration under local anesthesia. A second period of 4 months will evaluate the pain felt by women undergoing medical or aspiration abortion under local anesthesia following the application of an analgesic protocol indexed on the predictive factors of pain. The expected benefit of this study is the improvement of care and professional practices for better management of pain during outpatient abortion. The abortion will take place in the usual way according to the chosen method. An information and non-objection note will be distributed to patients during the first consultation for an abortion. Patients agreeing to participate in the study will answer the usual questions from the doctor or nurse. A data collection sheet related to care will be integrated into the medical records. The CIVG doctors taking part in the study will report the data collected on this form. The maximum pain felt during the abortion and in the following 4 days will be evaluated using an VAS according to usual practice.
Anxiety-depressive disorders are also very frequent, in the form of different pathologies that are often intertwined (prevalence of generalized anxiety disorders in 5% of the population, characterized depressive episodes in 5%, etc.). And it is even more frequent in patients with a cuff tendinopathy (26% and 23% of depression and anxiety respectively). These 2 pathologies are therefore responsible for significant economic expenses. It is in this context that the investigators' wish to carry out this study seems justified in order to better understand and therefore manage this problem, which is frequently encountered in daily practice and which would therefore allow better understanding and therefore better information for the patients concerned.
The aim of this study was to identify the predictive factors of graft detachment after Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) surgery. This retrospective study was conducted on patients aged 18 years, with Fuchs' dystrophy (FECD) or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK), who were scheduled for DMEK or triple-DMEK (combined phacoemulsification and DMEK surgery). Patients with a history of surgery other than cataract surgery were excluded. The study was conducted between 2014 and 2022 and follow-up was for 3 months. The characteristics of patients with and without graft detachment following surgery were compared using logistic regression.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a recurrent chronic inflammatory follicular occlusive disease affecting hair follicles. HS is notoriously difficult and challenging to treat with a high morbidity impact and could be classified as an unmet medical need with no efficient therapeutic options. Objective: Investigators previously showed that Outer Root Sheath Cells (ORS) isolated from hair follicle of HS patients (HS-ORS) have a pro-inflammatory phenotype and secrete spontaneously IP-10 and RANTES. To identify the mechanisms involved in the pro-inflammatory phenotype of HS-ORS, investigators performed a transcriptomic analysis in healthy and HS patients. This revealed: (i) an IFN signature, (i) a dysregulation of genes involved in cell proliferation and differentiation, and (iii) an upregulation of DNA damage response and cell cycle G2/M checkpoint pathways in HS-ORS. These findings support the notion that, in HS patients, a perturbation of HF-SC homeostasis leading to an increased proliferation induces a replicative stress and an accumulation of cytoplasmic ssDNA, stimulating IFN synthesis through IFI16-STING pathway. Interestingly, replicative stress in ORS were present in some but not all patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The goal of study is to determine replicative stress in ORS in a large cohort of HS patients. Method Patients will be enrolled in the Mondor Dermatology department, during routine care. A dermatologist will check all inclusion and exclusion criteria with the technical support of a research technician of the Henri Mondor Clinical Investigation Center. Medical history, clinical data, comorbidities and concomitant therapies will be prospectively recorded in a dedicated case report form. Skin biopsies will be performed in perilesional zone rich in hair follicles. mRNA will be extracted from freshly isolated hair follicle cells and some slides will be prepared and stored at -80°C to perform immunohistochemistry analysis on freshly isolated hair follicle cells. PBMC and serum will be collected. All these biological samples will allow us to quantify the replicative stress in HS-ORS of each patient, and to quantify several cytokine of interest : IFN de type 1, IL-17, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10 This study will allow investigators to evaluate the rate of patients with replicative stress in hair follicle stem cells in Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The investigator will also determine whether HF-SC replication stress correlates with clinical characteristics and/or with clinical course and/or comorbidities.
To develop an easy-to-use measurement tool for monitoring fatigue and alertness, particularly in sleep-deprived subjects.
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB059 (litifilimab) compared with placebo in reducing skin disease activity measured by the Cutaneous Lupus Activity of Physician's Global Assessment-Revised (CLA-IGA-R) score [Parts A and B (US)] and the Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index Activity (CLASI-A) score [Part B (ROW)] in participants with active SCLE and/or CCLE with or without systemic manifestations and refractory and/or intolerant to antimalarials. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB059 in reducing SCLE and/or CCLE disease activity by CLA-IGA-R, CLASI-A; to evaluate additional efficacy parameters of BIIB059 in reducing SCLE and/or CCLE disease activity; safety; tolerability; and immunogenicity of BIIB059 [Parts A and B].
Prospective, two-arm, randomized, bilateral, subject/evaluator-masked clinical study to evaluate the distance visual acuity, peripheral refractive error and functional vision of the EPV IOL compared to a standard monofocal control IOL.
Acute septic arthritis is a rare but life-threatening and functionally serious disease. The improvement or disappearance of pain and functional recovery are sometimes difficult to obtain, with in some cases the persistence of synovitis due to a prolonged local inflammatory response, despite early and effective treatment. The consequences are significant for patients with often significant chronic pain, repercussions on autonomy and/or profession. An unfavorable evolution with joint destruction and need for replacement by a prosthesis is not uncommon. Corticosteroid therapy is widely used in rheumatology in similar tables, for the purpose of drug synovectomy, with good results. The risk of infection remains the main contraindication to its use. There are very few studies on its use in septic arthritis, either fundamentally or in humans, for which there are no data in adults. However, these have shown results encouraging the investigators not to neglect this therapy.
Low back pain is a public health problem with major individual and socio-economic repercussions. In primary care, strong disparities are observed in the management of low back pain patients. While general practitioners (GPs) and physiotherapists appear as two essential first-line caregivers, collaboration between these professionals remains underdeveloped, most often characterized by a lack of consultation or coordination. Systematic increased interprofessional collaboration is likely to improve the results of the care pathway, by optimizing the existing care offer.
