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.
Axillary block is the good anesthetic technique for upper limb surgery without exceeding a certain total dose injected of Local Anesthetic (AL). The maximal recommended dose of Lidocaine adrenaline in the upper limb is 500 mg. The use of ultrasound helps guiding the locoregional anesthesia, and allows to decrease the AL concentration, thus decreasing the risks. No previous study estimated a concentration of lidocaine lower than 1,5 % to realize upper limb surgery by axillary block. The literature overestimating probably the rate of failure of the locoregional anesthesia under ultrasound-guidance, we suggest to estimate the rate of failure of the axillary block ultrasound-guided with the lidocaine 1 % adrenaline for realizing upper limb surgery in standard practice.
Half of the women present an episode of cystitis once in their lives. A recurrence occurs in about 20% to 30% of the patients, and half of these patients will make more than 4 episodes per year, defining recurrent cystitis (CR). Complications such as pyelonephritis are rare (less than 0.5% of patients in the absence of underlying complication), however, CRs are responsible for a significant impact on women but also on society. Pain is at the forefront, but also the fear of not managing pollakiuria, with its social exclusion. The impact on sexuality is major. The medical circuit imposed on the patients is long and arduous. The clinical assessment sometimes reveals favorable factors, variable in pre- or post-menopause, but in the majority of cases, no explanatory cause can resolve the problem and some authors suggest resignation as a classic reaction to this problem. The only study on psychological disorders associated with recurrent cystitis suggests patients who are much more anxious than the average of female. Hypnotherapy is an old technique, used for care in Western societies for at least two hundred years. By the word, the practitioner induces in the patient a particular state of consciousness characterized by an indifference on the outside and a hyper suggestibility. This "hypnotic" state of consciousness can be used to amplify the patient's internal resources to fight against anxiety and pain, and to eliminate symptoms. The physiological mechanisms at work in hypnosis are the subject of recent studies becoming more and more precise. The results of these studies made it possible to objectify changes in cerebral functioning related to hypnotic trance. A report by Inserm of 2015 confirms the effectiveness of this practice in hypnosedation, hypnoanalgesia and hypnotherapy, particularly in irritable bowel syndrome, although the methodology to be used in its evaluation is difficult and subjective. The principal investigator hypothesizes that the symptoms presented in recurrent cystitis (pain, anxiety) can be improved by hypnotherapy, and that thus the prognosis of this pathology can be totally modified. In the absence of any study published in the literature, the investigator propose an intervention pilot study with minimal risks and constraints monocentric prospective non-randomized prospectively in 15 patients. The main objective of this project is to demonstrate that hypnotherapy improves the psycho-emotional parameters of patients suffering from recurrent cystitis after 3 hypnosis sessions combined with home exercises performed by the patient. The evaluation will be carried out during the last session of hypnosis.
Today there are few studies in the literature involving patients in an ICU following major visceral surgery. There are thus few results about the prognostic value of pulmonary extravascular water in this population of patients, but also the prognostic value of pulmonary extravascular water measured at the bedside using pulmonary ultrasound. In addition, pulmonary ultrasound will be combined with echocardiography to measure left ventricular function (LVEF) and to study the profile of the mitral valve to assess filling pressure in patients with immediate post-operative ventilation. This will make it possible to distinguish between increases in pulmonary extravascular water associated with high filling pressure and increased pulmonary water associated with low filling pressure: characteristic of lesional oedema. The aim of this study is to determine the prognostic value of extravascular pulmonary water (PEVW) diagnosed using pulmonary ultrasound in patients admitted to an ICU following scheduled or emergency visceral surgery in the onset of acute respiratory distress requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, or prolonged post-operative intubation, or non-invasive.
This project aims to assess the evolution of symptoms in ADHD children from 8 to 17 years, with various types of attention training. Different groups A, B and C will be evaluated: the first with Neurofeedback training, the second with a similar training but not indexed on brain activity and the third without training. 30 patients will be randomly assigned to groups A and B according to a ratio 2:1. Others patients who meet the same criteria but for logistical reasons cannot comply with the training constraints will be assigned to group C. Children included in groups A and B will participate in training sessions (Neurofeedback and control training, respectively) as well as in four evaluation sessions. Children in group C will only participate in evaluation sessions (baseline control group). Patients of groups A and B will be followed over 6 months: 4 months of training and a follow-up evaluation 2 months after training. Patients of group C will be followed each 2 months for 6 months. This study uses electro-encephalography measures, serious video game, neuropsychological tests and questionnaires. It also uses actigraphy measures to evaluate sleep quality.
The aim of the PRECOG study is to determine in a prospective interventional randomized study whether the implementation of a predictive test based on the sFLT-1/PlGF ratio improves perinatal care and reduces costs, in patients with suspected preeclampsia before 35 weeks of gestation.
The study is a randomized cross-over pilot study. The research hypothesis is that the diet high in SDS content (H-SDS) will lower the daylong glycemic response and improve the glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the diet low in SDS content (L-SDS).
This is a monocentric, prospective cohort study evaluating the feasibility of a perioperative e-follow-up protocol in patients with ambulatory surgery for breast cancer. This protocol will be based on: - A coordinated ambulatory follow-up performed by a dedicated nurse - An electronic follow-up tool used in pre- and post-surgery Patients will be followed 8 days before the surgery until 30 days after the surgery of breast cancer.
Observational study to evaluate, under real-world practice conditions, the safety and effectiveness of regorafenib in patients diagnosed with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC)
The present study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction and audiological performance with their current cochlear implant speech processor, the Neuro 1, and to compare it with the satisfaction and performance obtained with the new speech processor, the Neuro 2.
High-throughput whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is bringing new opportunities in the diagnosis of rare diseases. It will more frequently lead to a primary diagnosis (aim of the genetic consultation), but it may also lead to the discovery of mutations not related to the patient's disease. These findings are called "incidental findings" (IF) and may give rise to preventive or curative interventions in a personalised medicine approach. The question of proposing to patients access to all or part of these findings is a matter of debate in France and elsewhere. This question has given rise to new challenges and new needs that professionals must respond to by implementing appropriate management and new skills. It raises specific ethical issues, which require precise understanding of the expectations and experiences of patients. Patients' diagnostic trajectories must also meet criteria for efficacy and financial and organisational sustainability for the healthcare establishments and, for the healthcare system. Our project aims to assess the expectations of patients/parents with regard to this opportunity, and to determine how information should be provided to patients and how they should be accompanied to ensure efficient and appropriate management.
