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.
Alternative and complementary medicines (MAC) are commonly used by cancer patients to help them to face with anticancer treatment, reduce oncology symptoms and/or anticancer treatment adverse effects, detoxifying the body. In consistence with guidelines from the French Society for Oncology Pharmacy (SFPO), the pharmaceutical consultation includes a discussion and collection of herbs, botanical and other natural products consumed by cancer patients. This aim to prevent and manage herb-drug interaction as well as other drug-related problems (DRP). The recent French experimentation dedicated to cannabidiol for medical use could enhance interest of cancer patients in the field of MAC. However, cannabidiol have shown inhibitory effect on different cytochromes with a risk of HDI as other MAC. While the prevalence of MAC consumption is already known in some type of cancer, the consumption of CBD is less known and should be explored. Through this study we wish to know the prevalence of cannabidiol consumption in cancer patients and to establish a typical profile as well as to know the modalities of use. We also want to validate a questionnaire through a literacy scale.
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a congenital skeletal disorder with multiple complications such as bone pain, fractures, deformities and nerve compression. Few quantitative studies have demonstrated its physical, mental and social negative impacts on patients but none have qualitatively evaluated their global quality of life. Our hypothesis is that a better knowledge of the quality of life of FD patients should allow to target the actions to be implemented to improve patients'care. The main objective of this qualitative research is therefore to investigate the quality of life of FD patients through 2 approaches: a qualitative study with focus groups interviews addressing several themes: self-image, psychological and emotional well-being, difficulties and adaptative strategies; and a quantitative study to measure the impact of FD on quality of life and on olfaction (sometimes affected by nerve compression due to the disease) using standardized questionnaires Short Form 36 (SF36) and Self-reported Mini Olfactory Questionnaire (SELF-MOQ).
RV longitudinal shortening fraction (RV-SLF) is based on the analysis of the tricuspid annulus displacement (TAD) and can be performed in transthoracic (TTE) or transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Having an 2D-STE interchangeable parameter would allow accurate measurement of RV systolic function before, during and after cardiac surgery. However, to date, there are no data on the interchangeability of RV-LSF measurements performed in TTE and TEE. The aim of the study is to evaluate the interchangeability of TTE and TEE measurements of RV-LSF during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
Photography teletransmission allow a better and optimized dispatching of patients calling an Emergency Medical Call Center (EMCC) for a mild traumatic injury. It has previously been studied for patients to whom an ambulance was sent and therefore presumed to be older or with co-morbidities. The present trial aim to evaluate in the general population, the effect of a smartphone-mediated visioconference in the dispatching of patients calling an EMCC for mild traumatic injury.
Retrospective observational study performed in a internal medicine ward of a French university hospital. Included patients were hospitalized for acute shortness of breath who have benefited from a eFOCUS which was defined as a focused cardiac Ultrasound with utilization of Doppler measurements. The objectives were the therapeutic and diagnosis changes induced by eFoCUS. The primary endpoint was defined by the pooled introduction or discontinuation of diuretics, antibiotics or anticoagulants associated with eFoCUS results.
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate acute safety and efficacy of the S.M.A.R.T. RADIANZ™ Vascular Stent System, when used with the BRITE TIP RADIANZ™ Guiding Sheath and SABERX RADIANZ™ PTA Balloon Catheter, to deploy the S.M.A.R.T.™ Nitinol Stent, in the treatment of patients with obstructive iliac or femoropopliteal arterial disease via radial artery access.
This study aims to measure the impact of an experimental pain on electromyography, kinematics of motion and motor cortical excitability.
Cerebellar superficial siderosis (SS) has been recently reported to be present in about 10% of both hereditary (n=50) and sporadic (n=46) cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) patients on 3T MRI using susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in the majority of patients. In that study, cerebellar SS was associated with a higher number of supratentorial lobar and superficial cerebellar macrobleeds (although cerebellar SS was not directly located adjacent to these cerebellar macrobleeds). It is unclear if cerebellar SS is caused by in situ leakage of cerebellar leptomeningeal vessels or rather represents hemorrhagic diffusion from cerebellar parenchymal micro/macrobleeds or from supratentorial bleeding sources via the tentorium cerebelli (TC).
The aim of our study is to evaluate the correlation between quantified fibro-adipous infiltration of muscles on MRI assessed by MERCURI Score and the functional abilities (deficiencies, activity limitations and social participation of pediatric patients with arthrogryposis.
Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a newly implemented evaluation standard for medical students and is a determinant part of the national competition they have to undergo. Exam periods are significantly associated with increased stress and anxiety which led to reduced performance, impaired memorization and impaired workload capacities. Cardiac biofeedback and mindfulness techniques are efficient methods for stress reduction. Interventions that aim to mobilize competence, such as mobilization of inner strength and resources techniques, should improve the level of preparation of medical students. These three procedures could influence the stress level and improve performance during the OSCE. There is currently no study exploring the effect of these physiological and psychological procedures on the performance during OSCE for medical students.
