There are about 25118 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United Kingdom. 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.
Two-centre complex intervention development and feasibility trial using mixed qualitative and quantitative approach
The goal of this observational study is to assess the efficacy that the addition of novel markers cardiac function, particularly of right ventricular (RV) function in echocardiography, and ECG have in detecting pulmonary hypertension. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can novel markers in ECG and echocardiography suggest the presence of PH? Can existing screening guidelines be improved with the addition of these markers?
The aim of the present clinical trial is to assess how raspberry leaf polyphenols impact on postprandial glucose and insulin levels in healthy individuals consuming sucrose. The questions the project will address: - Do raspberry leaf polyphenols lower sucrose-induced increases in plasma glucose in humans? - Do these polyphenols mediate these effects by inhibiting digestion of sucrose or the absorption of glucose. 20 healthy adults will be recruited between the ages of 18-65 years who are non-smokers and not taking certain types of medication (e.g., drugs from a GP for high blood pressure, high blood fats, inflammatory conditions, and depression) or dietary supplements (e.g., cholesterol-lowering spreads, fish oil, probiotics, prebiotics, and natural laxatives), antibiotics in the last three months or if they used any drugs or supplements that could affect their blood glucose or lipid metabolism. No abnormal results for liver function tests, renal function tests, and lipid profile tests. If they have food allergies or consume more than 14 units of alcohol per week (i.e., to help they calculate a alcohol intake, one standard glass of wine (175 ml) or one pint of regular lager is equivalent to just over two units of alcohol), frequently travel for work or are participating in another intervention study, they will not be able to participate. Women who are pregnant or lactating or planning a pregnancy in the next six months will also not be able to take part, not use herbal medicines for at least the previous three months, not be on a weight loss program six months before screening, not involved in clinical trials six months before the screening, and not having severe cardiac, hepatic, or renal function impairment. Not Sufferers of chronic illnesses, not Individuals with food allergies, not people with coeliac disease. They will be asked to attend a four-study visit after an eight-hour overnight fast. Volunteers will be asked to consume 50 g of carbohydrate powder (sucrose and glucose) with or without 10 g of raspberry leaf tea, which will be dissolved in 300 mL of warm water during four visits (every month). Blood samples will be taken at intervals for a period of two hours after the consumption of raspberry leaf or control. Blood glucose and insulin levels will be tested 15 minutes before, at 15,30,60,90, and 120 minutes after carbohydrate intake.
In order to improve the implementation of routine surgical video recording, the researchers want to understand what the challenges associated with the uptake of this technology are. The aim of this study is to explore the barriers faced by key stakeholders including the surgical care team, information governance, and patients within the field of surgical video reporting. The data from this qualitative study will allow the researchers to understand better the challenges associated with uptake of surgical video recording. This will allow the researchers to develop strategies to overcome these challenges and subsequently improve uptake of surgical video recording which will promote safer and more transparent surgery.
Micro-vegetables (MV) are seedlings of larger vegetables. They can be grown quickly and are a concentrated source of micronutrients. MV are thought to have broad health benefits, including many inflammatory conditions. These include metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive diseases. This could have important implications for the health of an ageing UK population. Less than a third of British adults consume 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day; this is the level that reduces risk of morbidity and mortality. Vegetables, including MV may - at least in part - exert their health effects by changing the level and type of bacteria in the mouth and gut. Despite their promise, the MV scientific literature is not yet extensive enough to support definitive health claims. It requires the addition of high-quality studies that are relevant to humans. This study will firstly investigate the anti-inflammatory effects on skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in older adults, using a proteomics approach. Second, this study will assess concentrations of circulating inflammatory markers in the sera collected from participants at baseline and at the conclusion of a 6-week period. Further, this study will describe the effects of six weeks MV consumption on cognition, and the oral and gut microbiome. As the bioactive compounds in the MV are owed to the potential beneficial effects for human health, these will be characterised in sera collected from participants.
The PMCF is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, controlled study of up to 130 patients designed to collect safety and performance data regarding the use of the Adagio VT Cryoablation System in the treatment of recurrent ventricular tachycardia.
This is an open label study to treat dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD) mutation carrier participants from the DIAN-TU-001 gantenerumab Open Label Extension (OLE) period with lecanemab to determine the effects of amyloid removal on age of onset and clinical progression compared to external controls, if amyloid plaque as measured by amyloid PET can be fully removed in DIAD, and the effects of amyloid removal on biomarkers of disease progression.
Machine learning used to develop an algorithm to determine chance of success with expectant or medical management for an individual patient. Taking into account the following objective measures: - Demographics: Maternal Age, Parity - History: Previous CS, Previous SMM/MVA, Previous Myomectomy - Gestation by LMP - Presenting symptoms: Bleeding score, Pain score - USS Measurements: CRL, GS, RPOC 3 dimensions, Vascularity - Discrepancy between gestation by CRL and LMP Audit to collate 1000 cases and identify features contributing to an algorithm that can predict outcome of miscarriage management for individualized case management.
This is a real world data collection observational study at a single site. There are both prospective and retrospective cohorts. The study will examine the safety and effectiveness of the Synergy cervical disc system in patients with degenerative cervical disc disease.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease.
