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.
Acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion is responsible of cerebral blood flow impairment with a progressive and extensive ischemic process. Cerebral collateral circulation may preserve an ischemic penumbra that could recover providing timely reperfusion of the occluded vessel. Mechanical thrombectomy is the standard of care for anterior circulation large vessel reperfusion. Strategy to promote cerebral blood flow in collateral circulation before reperfusion is scarce and rely mainly on blood pressure maintenance. Carbon dioxide is a potent cerebral vasodilator that could enhance collateral circulation blood flow and cerebral protection before reperfusion. General anesthesia with endotracheal mechanical ventilation could be used for thrombectomy and give the opportunity to modulate and control carbon dioxide tension in the blood. This study will test the effect of moderate hypercapnia on penumbral collateral circulation before reperfusion during mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke under general anesthesia.
The diagnosis and monitoring of intraocular tumors are based on multimodal imaging in addition to the clinical examination (ultra-widefield retinal imaging, echography, angiography). Nevertheless, it may be difficult in cases of retinal hemorrhage, small tumor size or atypical presentation. The study of microvascular flow (Superb Microvascular Imaging, SMI) of intraocular tumors could improve the confidence of differential diagnosis when evaluating these suspicious lesions, or even determine whether a lesion is benign or malignant by describing the vascularization of the lesion. The investigators propose to study the microvascular flow patterns of intraocular tumors prior to proton therapy.
Respiratory muscle testing allows a quantitative assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscles in children of any age with primary or secondary respiratory muscle impairment, in order to better understand the pathophysiology of respiratory impairment and guide therapeutic management. The use of an invasive technique (esogastric probe) makes it possible to specifically explore the diaphragm, the accessory inspiratory muscles and the expiratory muscles in order to detect dysfunction or paralysis of these muscles, and to estimate the work of breathing in order to better guide the respiratory management. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the respiratory effort in children with primary or secondary impairment of the respiratory muscles during spontaneous breathing or during mechanical ventilation.
Essential trigeminal neuralgia is the most common facial pain. In forms resistant to drug and disabling treatments, surgical treatment may be offered to the patient. The type of intervention will be conditioned by the presence or absence of a vasculo-nervous conflict objectified by MRI(Magnetic resonance imaging) Morphological MRI with contrast injection does not always allow an accurate assessment of trigeminal nerve damage in patients with essential facial neuralgia. Despite advances in the anatomical definition of high-resolution MRI, the correlation between a vascular conflict visible on MRI and present during surgery and prolonged postoperative clinical improvement remains insufficient These data raise the question of additional imaging sequences to assess the distressing characteristics of NT in addition to the usual anatomical criteria for compression By performing during morphological MRI two additional sequences, one in diffusion tensor (DTI) and one in resting state (fMRI), we could better characterize the achievement of NT The contribution of new imaging sequences in the context of essential trigeminal neuralgia treated with microvascular decompression (MVD) would: 1/improve the diagnostic criteria for suffering and compression of the NT (trigeminal nerve) 2 / define objective prognostic criteria for the effectiveness of surgery, particularly in the context of unusual clinical symptoms or moderate conflict on MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) 3 / to analyze more precisely the causes of recurrence at a distance from surgery and help in the decision of re-intervention Our main hypothesis: the addition of a diffusion tensor sequence and sequences (allowing functional brain analysis) in addition to standard anatomical MRI in the assessment of a vasculo-nervous conflict would allow us to better characterize involvement of the trigeminal nerve in essential facial neuralgia. It also helps guide therapeutic management and surgical indications. This is a prospective, monocentric cohort study. It will be offered to patients referred to neurosurgery or to the pain assessment and treatment center for assessment and management of a neuralgia of the essential trijumeau unilateral.
Through this study, the effectiveness of hypnosis in the realization of a colonoscopy for the detection of colorectal cancer will be evaluated
Bariatric surgery indeed leads to significant weight loss, reduces mortality risk, obesity-associated comorbidities (Wolfe et al., 2016) and improves functional physical abilities (Herring et al., 2016). Because these benefits are related to decreased energy intake, the investigators aim to optimize them by combining them with supervised adapted physical activity practice. So, the aim of this clinical trial is to measure the effects of a physical training program on physical fitness, body composition and quality of life of obese women who have undergone bariatric surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of CAM2029 to octreotide LAR or lanreotide ATG in patients with advanced, well-differentiated GEP-NET. Patients who experience progressive disease in the randomized part of the study may proceed to an open-label extension part with intensified treatment with CAM2029.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (HTICi) is a pathology, affecting young adults with a predominance of women, due to an increase in intracranial pressure, which may be associated with stenosis of the cerebral venous sinuses and whose origin remains unknown. This hypertension can lead to papillary edema (OP) which can lead to a narrowing of the visual field and progress to blindness. Along with weight reduction, acetazolamide, which reduces the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is prescribed as a first-line treatment. Its efficacy is inconsistent in resolving papillary edema and there are many side effects. In the event of ineffectiveness or dependence on acetazolamide associated with hygiene and dietetic rules, a second line of therapy is then considered: neurosurgical (internal shunt of the LCS) or endovascular (venous stenting) treatment. These invasive techniques have each proven their effectiveness in the rapid and permanent resorption of OP, allowing improvement or preservation of visual function. In terms of induced morbidity, the superiority of one technique over the other, if it exists, has not been established. Our objective is to compare the efficacy, safety, and safety of LCS bypass surgery versus venous sinus stenting in HTICi with moderate to severe visual impairment after failure of medical treatment defined by the absence of resorption of the OP after several months
Prone position (PP) is a key component to treat hypoxemia in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, most studies evaluating PP effects in patients with ARDS exclude those with brain-injuries without providing any medical evidence. This prospectice observational study aimed to investigate if prone positioning leads to significant modification of cerebral perfusion in brain-injured patients with ARDS.
