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 assess the feasibility and the reliability of a telemonitoring system during pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronicle obstructive pulmonary disease. The feasibility is assessed using the patient's satisfaction and it ease of use. The reliability of the remote telemonitoring system is assessed comparing the local data (extracted from the monitoring device itself) and the data transmitted through the telemonitoring platform.
Comparison of the level of agreement between Power Doppler ultrasound measured number of synovitis (≥ grade 1 on a semi-quantitative scale) and clinically defined number of swollen joints in obese (i.e. BMI>30) versus normally weighted RA patients.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is usually responsible of cognitive and behavioral non-motor signs with a major impact on the quality of life. Social cognition is a complex system relying on emotion recognition (neurons mirror system, NMS), the theory of mind (with its two parts: emotional and cognitive), but also on the social and cultural environment and the personal history. The first step in this model is represented by the NMS, which seems to be altered in PD patients for both positive and negative emotions as shown in our preliminary study. The investigator purpose is to investigate the role of the treatment (levodopa and deep brain stimulation) on the functioning of the NMS.
The heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). In the model of anorexia nervosa, ANS is disturbed with mostly a predominance of activation of the parasympathetic nervous system and a decrease of the sympathetic system. Various explanations of this these dysfunctions are proposed in literature, mainly malnutrition, physical hyperactivity, anxiety, that are known characteristics of anorexia nervosa. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate correlation between ANS dysfunction and anxiety in anorexia nervosa. Other objectives of this study are firstly to evaluate correlation between ANS dysfunction and others parameters (weight, body mass index, depression, physical activity, purgative ou restrictive type, duration of disease, smoking) in anorexia nervosa and secondly to see if HRV is a predictive parameter of the evolution of anorexia nervosa.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of Ozurdex® as prescribed in clinical practice in France for the treatment of Diabetic Macular Edema (DME).
This is a prospective observational study, involving 550 mastectomies in Lorraine Institute of Oncology, to assess care patients management of ambulatory surgical compared to standard surgery procedure.
Objective: To confirm the psychometrics properties of the Intestinal Gas Questionnaire (IGQ) in subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) diagnosis and General population both complaining of Gas-Related Symptoms (GRS). IGQ has been developed previously simultaneously in UK English, French and Spanish through qualitative research with subject interviews. The conceptual framework of the IGQ assesses both GRS and their impact on daily life. Similar concepts were identified for both subjects with IBS diagnosis and general population and complaining of gas-related symptoms. The IGQ consists of a 24-hour recall symptom diary assessing 7 gas-related symptoms (17 items) and a 7-day recall questionnaire which assesses the impact of those symptoms (26 items)
Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disease. Recent studies suggest that subjects with hearing loss are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Hearing loss can be consecutive to presbycusis and/or to central auditory dysfunction. Standard audiometric measures with pure tone and speech intelligibility allow the diagnosis of presbycusis. However, to demonstrate central auditory dysfunction, specific audiometric tests as noisy and/or dichotic tests, are needed. Actually, no consensus exists to investigate hearing loss in people with Alzheimer's disease; therefore hearing loss may be an early manifestation of Alzheimer's disease. Until now, investigations and clinical procedure related to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease ignored the hearing ability of the patient. However, the major part of care management and investigations implies the patient's communication ability with caregivers. Hearing loss may be one of the most unrecognized deficit in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. Auditory rehabilitation with hearing aids could benefit to the patient to decrease cognitive decline but this management must be investigate during longitudinal studies in order to demonstrate their efficiency and need to be compared with a placebo.
The purpose of this study is to explore the possible links between participant characteristics and their cancer, with how effective the combination of nivolumab with ipilimumab is, in participants with Stage IV or recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
Water and electrolytic homeostasis is remarkably controlled by the mineralocorticoid pathway (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system acting on the renal tubule). However, the neonatal period in humans is characterized by a reduced ability of the kidney to ensure normal functions of urine concentration and maintenance of sodium and water balance. This renal functional immaturity, is associated in the very premature infants (VPT) (born <32 weeks of amenorrhea (SA)) to an immaturity of the adrenal responsible for a default of aldosterone biosynthesis . This relative aldosterone deficiency induces difficulties for VPT to adapt to extra-uterine life when maintaining a positive sodium balance is essential for postnatal growth. The improvement of perinatal care (antenatal corticosteroids maturation, ventilation techniques and use of surfactant) have increased the survival of these children . Nevertheless, extreme prematurity (less than 32 weeks), which concerns nearly 2% of live births in France, remains associated with neurodevelopmental sequelae in nearly 40% of children at 5 years . Secondary hydroelectrolytic disorders with transient mineralocorticoid adrenal insufficiency is probably one of the factors responsible of these neurological deleterious outcomes as well as the occurrence of other complications (bronchopulmonary dysplasia, enterocolitis necrotizing) of extreme prematurity. Indeed, aside from the administration of antenatal steroids to induce maturation, the prevention of postnatal dehydration reduces the risk of intracranial hemorrhage in that population. However, high fluid intake are associated with an increased incidence of patent ductus arteriosus, of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and necrotizing enterocolitis. This necessitates the evaluation of preventive measures to avoid such fluid and electrolyte imbalances by a pharmacological approach based on mineralocorticoid administration in very premature infants, due to the relative aldosterone deficiency identified in this population.
