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 purpose of this study is to determine if AMG 334 is effective in treating migraines in patients who have failed other preventive migraine treatments.
A randomized clinical trial to investigate the use of the temporary Diaphragm Pacing Therapy System (DPTS) to rehabilitate the diaphragm in mechanically ventilated patients who have failed at least two weaning attempts. The goal is to strengthen and rehabilitate the diaphragm to liberate the patient more quickly from mechanical ventilation.
Staphylococcus aureus represents one of the most met germs, with Escherichia coli, during bacteremia. Microbiologist distinguish at aureus S. two profiles of resistance in beta-lactamines: S. aureus sensitive to the methicillin ( SASM) and the S. aureus resistant to the methicillin ( SARM). With the implementation of the MALDI-TOF, it is now possible to identify the origin responsible of the bacteremia the day of the positivity of the hemoculture ( J0) and to set up a treatment with adapted antibiotic, which, in the case of a sepsis to aureus S., is the vancomycine. Ye it was demonstrated, that the use of the vancomycine on the SASM increased the average duration of stay and a more important rate of relapse. The PCR SARM was organized in the GHPSJ in 2014. It allows from the day of the positivity of the hemoculture ( J0), to determine the phenotype of resistance of S. aureus.
The purpose of the study is to measure the negative cognitive consequences of the ventilation under pathological or experimental cortical drive to breath.
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease. Its association with osteroporosis and fragility fracture is now clearly demonstrated, but the determinants of this osteoporosis are yet to be explained. Our aim was to study factors associated with volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone microstructure at the tibia and radius in IPD.
The inclusion of short periods of apnea (several seconds) during exercise (i.e. dynamic apnea) induces a significant decrease in blood oxygenation and muscle tissue. To date, the immediate effects ("acute apnea") of this decrease in the quantity of oxygen available at the muscle and brain level are poorly understood. Moreover, a physical training during which these short periods of apnea ("chronic apnea") would be included could lead to physiological adaptations and to improvement in physical performance similar to those obtained during altitude training. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of acute dynamic apnea on metabolism.
The main objective of this study is to compare the interpretation of health news items reporting results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with or without spin (i.e., distortion of research results). The news items which reported those studies evaluating the treatment effect, having highest number of spin in the headline and text and received high online public attention will be selected. Spin will be deleted and will rewrite the news items without spin. This sample of news items reporting results of RCTs with and without spin will be interpreted by English-speaking patients.
Cognitive disorders are a major problem in patients with epilepsy. One hypothesis is that the anomalies EEGs (AIC) may be responsible for short periods of attentional fluctuations causing a reduction of intellectual efficiency of patients. In this project, we propose to evaluate the impact of AIC on cognitive performance, specifically on attentional performance (central parameter of cognitive functioning) through the use of a computerized cognitive test (called STABILO, detailed below after) to measure, with good temporal sampling, the level of attentional engagement of patients in relation to their EEG activity. The originality of this study lies in the synchronization of two examinations usually made independently (EEG and psychometric testing), respecting a precise temporal coupling. The aim is to provide clinicians with a tool to assess very quickly attentional fluctuations in epileptic patients, and to assess the potential impact of AIC on the occurrence of these changes, with possible therapeutic implications (treatment of AIC and / or specific treatment of attention deficit disorder). The main objective of this study is to assess whether the presence of AIC EEG can induce a weakening of attentional performance.
The project studies auditory deficits in congenital amusia at the behavioral and neurophysiological levels. The auditory processes investigated are pitch discrimination, short-term memory, sound-induced emotions. To characterize auditory deficits in the amusic population, neuropsychological assessments are combined with neurophysiological markers (Electro-encephalography: EEG, Magneto-encephalography: MEG, Magnetic Resonance Imaging: MRI).
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most widespread food behavior disorder, with prevalence three times higher than anorexia. Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood and the investigators have few therapeutic options. Following a review of the literature, the investigators hypothesize that luminotherapy could be an innovative treatment of BED by its favorable effect on triggers of hyperphagic access, circadian disturbances, attention and impulsivity. The study is prospective, interventional, randomized, double-blind, monocentric (HCL). 52 patients with BED will be randomized to an active arm with intensive luminotherapy (1 daily 30 min, 10,000 lux in the morning) versus a placebo arm (<500 lux). Treatment will be delver every day during 30 days. Assessments will take place on D0, D30 and D60. The main objective is to compare the evolution of the number of hyperphagic access before and after treatment between the two groups. Secondary objectives are to compare characteristics of hyperphagic access, bodily concerns, food dependence and impulsivity, mood, anxiety, cognitive and attentional profiles (STROOP, Go / No Go, SST, BART, Prospective Time Estimation Task, Switching Task), liking / wanted for different food categories and carbohydrate metabolism (CRP, glucose, insulinemia, insulin resistance, profile of lipid abnormalities, 25-OH vitamin D3).
