There are about 25435 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.
The aims of this study were to: 1. Compare the effects of low-dose Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training on untrained healthy adults' quality-of-life, functional capacity, and strength. 2. Qualitatively explore perceptions of Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training.
Product acceptability data from 15 participants are required in order to submit an application to the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS) and the Health Service Executive (HSE) submission for Ireland for product registration.
This is a retrospective cohort study. In the investigation the clinical use of the Skin and leakage protocol (SLEP) is to be investigated. The SLEP is a generic digital diary form filled out to give information about the current status of continence care among care home residents. The SLEP tracks the number of leakage occurrences and daily skin health over a period of time with the purpose of assisting care staff in making decisions regarding continence care. The SLEP has been introduced at several United kingdom National Health Service care homes and with this investigation the investigators want to retrospectively analyse the data to determine the clinical usefulness of the form. The primary objective of the study is to describe any changes in product leakage rate at the baseline and follow up time period.
The goal of this qualitative study is to investigate what matters to older people living with frailty, and how this can be measured using questionnaires (Patient Reported Outcome Measures, or "PROMs"). The research questions are: 1. What outcomes matter to older adults living with frailty? 2. What are participants' perceptions of PROMs that could measure these outcomes? Our estimated sample will be 15 older adults, approximately 5 people living with mild frailty, 5 living with moderate frailty and 5 living with severe frailty. Participants will take part in one 90-minute interview.
The study is an exploratory research study looking at the feasibility, acceptability and accuracy of a doppler device compared with the gold standard ECG. It will take place in the sleep unit at Sheffield Children's Hospital.
Path Active™ comprises a pair of monitoring insoles which measure parameters associated with foot ulceration in diabetes: temperature and pressure. The insoles are linked via an app to the wearer's mobile phone and also to a clinical dashboard so that both wearer and clinician are alerted to early signs of skin damage on the foot so that immediate preventive action can be taken. The study will assess safety and tolerability of Path Active™ in 10 users, who have been assessed as having a 'high risk' of foot ulceration, over a period of 7 days.
In 2013, the NHS started a vaccination program in some regions of England to provide free flu vaccines to children aged 2 years or older, and younger than 16 years. The program has since been rolled out across England. Most children are given a vaccine that is sprayed into their nose. In clinical trials, this vaccine has been shown to protect children from experiencing severe flu symptoms. It is important to describe how it is used, and what happens to children who receive it in the wider community. This evidence will help the NHS to check that the vaccine roll out runs as planned and produces the intended benefits. This study aims to: (1) describe how many children each year receive flu vaccines, and describe the characteristics of children who are and aren't vaccinated for influenza; (2) test how often children receiving the vaccine see their GP or a hospital doctor for symptoms related to flu, compared to those who don't; and (3) to test what groups of children are more or less likely to receive a flu vaccine. To answer these objectives, the study will use the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, linked to Hospital Episode Statistics and the Office for National Statistics database.
The aim of this survey study is to provide broad information as reported by cancer survivors and their intimate partners about both their sexual health and their experiences of care from the United Kingdom hospital cancer team, including their perspectives on factors that may hinder or help care. This information will be analysed and used to inform the questions asked in a separate, subsequent, qualitative study.
The purpose of this research study is to find out the safety and effectiveness of a new medical device called H-Guard. During this research study, participants will receive the standard of care haemodialysis treatment, as decided by the treating doctor. Participants will be observed during 5-6 haemodialysis treatments throughout the course of the study. The only change to the treatment process, will be the use of the medical device (H-Guard) to prime the dialysis system, before one of the treatments. Participants will have various blood tests taken throughout the course of the study for safety and research analysis.
A clinical database has been prospectively maintained by the investigators, with details of pancreatic resections since January 2016. It includes pre-operative details, details of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting, details of pre-operative biliary stenting, intra-operative details, post-operative morbidity and mortality, details of histopathological diagnosis, recurrence and survival. Data was collected onto the database (excel sheet) from trust data software, clinic letters, Somerset Cancer registry and clinical portal.
