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 sternotomy site is the most painful area after cardiac surgery. Erector spinae plane block is effective in thoracic and abdominal surgery, but literature is lacking in cardiac surgery. The bilateral erector spinae plane block could reduce pain at rest and during mobilization, reduce opioids consumption, decrease postoperative complications, improve respiratory outcomes and improve patient comfort and satisfaction. The research hypothesis is that a single shot bilateral erector spinae plane block could reduce pain during mobilization during the first 48 hours after cardiac surgery performed with sternotomy
In a context where yoga is more and more popularized in France and in Europe, and where Yogatherapy (as complementary medicine) begins to make its place in the care of patients in French hospitals, it seems interesting to study the impact of yoga in the chronic pain patient treated in a specific pain consultation by this non-pharmacological approach, and accessible.
There are two types of acute coronary syndrome (ACS): ACS with persistent ST segment elevation (ACS ST +) and ACS without ST segment elevation (non-ST + ACS). The incidence of non-ST + ACS is increasing and currently accounts for the majority of myocardial infarction (MI) hospitalizations, while that of ST + ACS is declining. Complications of MI, which include rhythm and conduction disturbances, are mainly associated with ACS ST +. It is recognized that these complications can occur during non-ST + ACS, but with less frequency. This frequency is not clearly established, and has been the subject of few studies. Recent studies in this direction suggest that the frequency of rhythmic complications is low during non-ST + ACS. However, the data collected concerns inter-hospital transport. The aim of the study is to estimate the frequency of occurrence of potentially fatal rhythmic complications in patients admitted to the emergency room and to the cardiology department for non-ST + ACS.
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of three different doses of NBI-921352 versus placebo in adults with focal onset seizures
The non-psychotomimetic cannabis compound cannabidiol (CBD) has been found effective for reducing alcohol drinking in mice. Moreover, other experimental studies have found that CBD reduced alcohol-induced steatosis in the liver, and reduced alcohol-related injury in the brain. Despite these promising results from animal data, no human study has been conducted yet in alcohol use disorder (AUD).
BEAT AF is a randomized controlled trial aiming to demonstrate that pulsed field energy is faster, more effective and safer (tissue selectivity) than RF for paroxysmal AF ablation
The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of Azéol Spray Nasal, taken two times a day, versus placebo on nasal congestion in subject with common cold.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on medical education is real but little known. ENT interns were directly affected by the management of Covid-19 patients (performing surgical tracheostomies), many conferences and trainings were cancelled, their usual hospital activity deeply reshuffled. Although each student has a personal story of the impact of Covid-19 on their training, there is no doubt that the effects of Covid-19 are felt at scale. This study aims to investigate the effect of the pandemic on the medical and surgical training of ENT and Cervico-Facial Surgery interns in France from November 2019 to May 2021 (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Grand Est, Ile de France, Nouvelle Aquitaine and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur areas). A questionnaire will be sent by mail to ENT interns in France to assess the impact of Covid-19 on the training of ENT interns in France.
Evaluation of the efficacy (wound epithelialization and time to closure) and safety (emergence and nature of adverse event) of the new URGO BD001 compression system versus a reference compression in the local treatment of venous or mixed predominantly venous leg ulcers: prospective multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label clinical study
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) is a rare syndrome associated with activating mutations in the RET proto-oncogene, combining medullary thyroid cancer in approximately 100% of cases and pheochromocytoma in 10-80% of cases. While it is accepted that the RET mutation causes variable penetrance of pheochromocytoma in the MEN2A patient population, there is no pathophysiological explanation for the phenotypic variability among patients with the same mutation, including within the same family. The aim of this study is to better characterise the genetic factors that may explain the variable penetrance of pheochromocytoma in MEN2. To this end, the investigatoes plan to perform a whole exome analysis in 2 families carrying the p. Cys634Arg mutation causing NEM2A, followed in Marseille by the principal investigator: the 1st family has 11 members all aged over 35 years, for which 8 are carriers of pheochromocytoma while 3 have not developed it (while their age is higher than the latest age of diagnosis of pheochromocytoma in this family); the 2nd family has 3 members (father and daughter with pheochromocytoma developed before 25 years; son without pheochromocytoma at an age of 42 years). The investigators believe that the analysis of these patients should allow the isolation of variants on genes potentially involved in the genesis of a pheochromocytoma in MEN2.
