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.
Current recommendations permit the ingestion of all clear fluids (water, apple juice, black coffee..) during labour. However, regarding food during labour, the recommendations vary. British and European guidelines permit the ingestion of low-residue food during labour whilst guidelines from the United States prohibit having any solid food during labour. The reason for this variation in recommendations is the lack of data on gastric emptying during labour with a conservative approach adopted due to the fear of delayed gastric emptying increasing the risk of regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration in the case of general anaesthesia. This study aims, therefore, to evaluate if the gastric emptying of a light meal is slowed down during labour, using a validated, non-invasive ultrasound method, in four groups of women : Women in labour with epidural analgesia (Analgesia group), women in labor without any epidural analgesia (Parturient group), women in the third trimester of pregnancy (Pregnant group) and women who are not currently pregnant (Non-pregnant control group). The investigator propose the hypothesis that the gastric emptying of a light, solid meal is slowed by 30% during labour under epidural analgesia.
Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of death from cancer in France. When chemotherapy can be proposed, the choice of treatment is currently based on the patient's profile and expected tolerance. The endpoints currently used in trials, such as time to therapeutic failure, do not take into account the patient's experience of the disease. The use of quality of life questionnaires is often proposed, but frequent missing data and filling time can be a problem. In oncology, some studies have demonstrated, through questionnaires, the link between physical activity and quality of life. In this situation, ambulatory measurement of physical activity by wrist actimetry could be an integrative reflection of the impact of the disease and treatment (efficacy, tolerance) on patients. This type of evaluation, if accepted by patients, could usefully complement the measurement of quality of life in this population. No study has specifically looked at the use of devices of this type in the context of digestive cancer. The investigators propose to evaluate the acceptance of this type of device by pancreatic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy before evaluating its potential interest.
The purpose of this study is to determine the negative predictive value of protein S100B that could exclude subarachnoid and intracranial haemorrhage for patient that present severe headache within the last 3 hours.
This clinical investigation is intended to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of ventricular ablation therapy using the FlexAbility Sensor Enabled Ablation Catheter in patients with drug-refractory monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in whom ventricular tachycardia recurs despite antiarrhythmic drug therapy or when antiarrhythmic drugs are not tolerated or desired.
Evaluate the contribution of a coloring-type artistic task of a complex form in the reduction of anxiety related to care and pathology by a self-questionnaire "State-Trait anxiety inventory" and a self-questionnaire on the experience of the activity, in 3 different medical situations: in day hospitalization service in psychiatry, in hemodialysis service and in an ambulatory consultation waiting room.
To assess parental perceptions on infant feeding behavior and enjoyment with a goat milk formula compared to a cow milk formula
The fall is a complex process associated with high morbidity and mortality, with an institutionalization rate of up to 40% and a major socio-economic impact. The prevalence of falls increases with age. In fact, it is estimated that one-third of people over 65 and 50% of those over 80 living at home fall at least once a year, half of whom fall repeatedly. For all these reasons, the fall is a frequent reason for emergency consultation, and is an integral part of geriatric syndromes at risk of early readmission. The care of the elderly patient has been the subject of good practice recommendations by the Health Authority (HAS) in 2009, with the aim of referring patients to specialized geriatric care. Among these recommendations is the need to look for signs of geriatric severity of falls. To our knowledge, few studies have investigated the applicability of HAS recommendations with the practice of emergencies; this study is part of a project to improve practices. - Hypothesis : Due to the fast pace of emergency medicine, the complexity of elderly patients and the inherent limitations of the care system, we hypothesize that few serious fallers are included in the geriatric pathway after admission to the emergency room (ER).
Accurate execution of our directed behaviors in the immediate environment allows the vast majority of our daily activities. Through the movements of our eyes and different parts of our body, we perceive, explore and act on our environment and can exchange and communicate with others. The mechanisms of sensorimotor adaptation of saccades (saccadic adaptation) contribute on the one hand to maintain the accuracy of saccades in the short, medium and long term, by opposing the deleterious effects of various physiological changes (development, aging), pathological or environmental (optical corrections). The aim of this study is to identify neuronal structures and networks involved in saccadic adaptation through the study of brain metabolic activation (BOLD) during the development of the adaptation of reactive saccades. The study will be organized in a single session with 3 runs. Each run include 4 blocks: 3 include the double-step target paradigm RND, U+, U-) and one without target jump (STA). The 'U+'/ 'U-'blocks include saccadic trials with forward/backward displacement of the target during a targeting saccade, the 'RND' block include saccadic trials with random target jump (forward or backward) and the 'STA' block are trials without displacement of the target. Each subject will make 12 repetitions of the 4 blocks.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether IFX-1 is safe and effective in the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.
Syncope is a rapid onset, transient, loss of consciousness with a short duration. This symptom has been reported to be a specific presentation of patients with pulmonary embolism. However, the prevalence of pulmonary embolism in patients with syncope remains debated. This prospective cohort study will recruit patients presenting to the emergency department with a syncope, who will systematically undergo formal workup for pulmonary embolism. The main objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of pulmonary embolism in ED patients with syncope
