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.
Post-market, prospective, randomized, single-masked, multi-center clinical study investigating the safety and effectiveness of the Monofocal Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens (Mono-EDoF IOL) when compared to a Standard Monofocal Intraocular Lens. Primary Objectives: - To evaluate the distance VA of the study IOLs - To evaluate the intermediate VA of the study IOLs - To explore the safety profile with regards to visual disturbances
This is a research study to determine the efficacy and safety of investigational drug MEDI3506 for the treatment of adult subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Bronchitis.
Introduction: People with dementia have a high prevalence of psychological distress but are under-served with evidence-based psychological interventions. To promote choice and improve clinical outcomes, there is a necessity to test different psychological intervention options for this population. Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for people with dementia, considering carer-supported, remote delivery and necessary therapy adaptations. Methods: A hermeneutic single case efficacy design (HSCED) series was used to analyse therapy process and change for three clients with dementia and psychological distress. Quantitative and qualitative data was collated ('rich case records') and analysed by three independent psychotherapy experts ('judges') who determined the outcome for each client. Results: Over the course of therapy, it was concluded that one client with dementia made positive changes, specifically reliable reductions in psychological distress, which were largely attributable to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Two clients remained unchanged. Discussion/Conclusion: Where change was achieved, the ACT-specific processes of values, committed action and acceptance, in combination with non-specific therapy factors including a strong client-carer relationship, existing client interests and individualised therapy adaptations, were facilitative of change. Hence, ACT may be feasible and effective by helping carers to better meet the needs of their loved ones with dementia. Future research to optimise ACT delivery in this population may be beneficial. Furthermore, the assessment of carer factors (e.g., their psychological flexibility, the client-carer relationship) may strengthen the evidence-base for systemic ACT-use.
A first time in man study of NST-1024
The study was designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of two dose concentrations of SAF312 eye drops (5 mg/mL and 15 mg/mL) in subjects with CICP persisting at least for 4 months after refractive or cataract surgery and chronicity confirmed during the observational period. The study also determined the optimal dose to carry forward for further development.
This is a pilot study which aims to assess the validity and applicability of lateral flow assays (LFAs) which can be used as a point of care test for COVID-19. The study will focus on children admitted to hospital or planned to have a procedure for which they require an anaesthetic. RT-PCR is the current gold standard test for COVID-19, but it usually takes approximately 24-48 hours for a test result to be returned which can slow the clinical care given to a patient and can potentially increase the risk of healthcare worker (HWC) exposure to COVID-19. LFAs are a point of care test which can identify children who have a high viral load of COVID-19 and are performed using a more acceptable method of swabbing for children, just inside the nostril. Using LFA potentially enables the identification of infectious children with COVID-19 to aid with immediate care of patients and limiting HWC and other patients' contact with the virus. This study aims to assess the test failure rate and identify reasons for this which can be addressed. It also aims to assess the discomfort of both tests for children, provide a comparison between the time to LCA and RT-PCR result and provide data for a trial to adequately power a prospective trial comparing RT-PCR and LFA.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of green tea extract (GTE) on fat oxidation, body composition and exercise performance in overweight individuals. The study will be conducted under laboratory conditions following an 8 week supplemental period. Participants will be required to attend the laboratory for a pre-screening/familiarisation trial followed by assessments at week 0 (baseline), week 2, 4 and 8. Across the intervention, participants will maintain habitual dietary intake and follow a prescribed exercise programme. Additionally participants will be randomised to either a placebo, green tea extract or GTE with antioxidant supplementation. It is hypothesised that the addition of antioxidants with GTE will enhance fat oxidation in overweight individuals more than GTE or placebo. It is further hypothesised that such improvements in fat oxidation due to GTE will lead to improvements in both body composition variables and submaximal exercise performance (metabolic efficiency) in overweight, but otherwise healthy persons.
Chronic pain is a major health issue with substantial economic burden.To support chronic pain patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, yoga based self-managed intervention was delivered through tele-health platform. Project was designed as community-based program, creating new social networks for patients, health care providers and academics. Platform to deliver intervention and data collection was AiM COVID mobile app. Our objective was to determine the efficacy of Yoga based self-management intervention for people living with chronic pain pain intensity, disability and health related quality of life.
The primary objective of the trial is the confirmation of the efficacy of apraglutide to evaluate the efficacy of weekly subcutaneous apraglutide in reducing parenteral support dependency.
