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.
This study investigates formulations of vortioxetine applied under the tongue
This study aims to test whether infrared thermal imaging using a non-touch, non-ionising, thermal camera system is feasible and reliable as an independent technique for thermal comfort assessment in older people and frail older people living in a care home and with or without mild cognitive impairment.
Around 1-2% of people are born with a 'bicuspid' aortic valve, with only two cusps instead of the common 'tri-leaflet' valve. People with this valve develop dysfunction of the valve (narrowing or leakage) at a much earlier age. It is also more common for them to develop enlargement of the main blood vessel coming out of the heart, the aorta, and some studies suggest that they are also at higher risk of life-threatening tears in the aortic wall. Current guidelines recommend surgical replacement of the aorta at an earlier stage in these patients. The exact mechanism for the dilatation is not clear, and some studies have suggested greater 'stiffness' in the wall of the aorta. In this study, the investigators propose to 1.) study aortic size, stiffness and flow patterns using MRI in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid valves with a narrowing (aortic stenosis, 2.) measure markers in patients' blood that may be important in the process of expansion, 3.) compare the change in MRI and blood markers at before and 12 months after surgery, in patients who are due to have aortic valve replacement surgery.
Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, place a huge burden on healthcare systems and can lead to complications with high morbidity, particularly if the wound if infected. In parallel, there is pressure to reduce the use of antibiotics in order to minimise the risk of antimicrobial resistance. The Glycologic wound detection kit (GLYWD) is a point-of-care test, designed to provide guidance to clinical staff as to whether a chronic wound is infected or not. In this prospective cohort study the premise of this mode-of-action is evaluated. GLYWD will be applied in conjunction with clinical opinion and microbiological testing to determine if there is concordance between the different diagnostic approaches, and if applicable how they may differ in certain patients' wounds.
The aim is to use the GRID to characterize the atrial substrate and develop a model for predicting recurrence rates after a single procedure using a PVI only approach and a contact catheter.
Can a novel electronic display of pain be successfully used in the emergency department and does it (1) change analgesic prescription and (2) change amount of pain experienced? Pain is a common symptom in emergency care. As patients are seldom reassessed, staff may not be aware of pain. Currently, members of nursing or medical staff need to ask patients about their pain and record it manually using a visual analogue scale from 0-10. The new electronic display uses buttons to represent a pain scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Patients will select the number that best corresponds to their pain every 15 minutes. In the experimental group, the score will be displayed on a screen. In the control group, the score will not be displayed. The investigators will compare the overall amount of pain in both groups, and will look at their pain management (painkillers prescribed). The investigators will also ask patients and staff for their opinions on the display. The study will include adult patients in the emergency department at Leicester Royal Infirmary with an initial pain score of 5 or more who are able to make a decision about whether to participate. Participants will also need to be likely to stay in the hospital for more than 2 hours to allow the investigators to gather enough useful data. The study will recruit 200 participants. If the study can demonstrate that the monitor is acceptable to patients and staff and results in improved pain management, it is a low cost intervention which could be widely implemented within the NHS. It also has the potential for being used in other areas such as surgical wards. The investigators have previously found that 300-400 patients per week in the department have moderate to severe pain and might therefore benefit from this monitor.
Study Title: Early recorded P25/30 somatosensory evoked potentials are associated with neurologic prognosis of comatose survivors after out of hospital cardiac arrest. Design: Prospective, observational, non-interventional, study - prospective collection of data and interpretation. Analysis of the data and assessment of prognostic value of the P25/30 in critically ill patients post cardiac arrest. Study Aims: To be the first attempt to validate the prognostic potential of early recording [between 24-36 hours post Return Of Spontaneous Circulation] of P25/30 potentials in comatose survivors who are admitted to a British Intensive care unit after out of hospital cardiac arrest and who are not treated by hypothermic targeted temperature management. [Validation of the prognostication significance of P25/30 Somatosensory Evoked Potentials in predicting neurologic outcome in comatose survivors post out of hospital cardiac arrest]. Outcome Measures: Primary Endpoint: Neurologic outcome assessed by Cerebral Performance Category score at hospital discharge. Secondary endpoints: Mortality at hospital discharge and 28 days [which occurs first], comparison of prognostic benefit of N20 and P25/30 based multimodal prognostic models. Population: Comatose survivors, after out of hospital cardiac arrest, treated in Derriford Hospital ICU, Penrose and Pencarrow wards. Eligibility: Adults [>18 years old], out of hospital cardiac arrest, comatose after Return Of Spontaneous Circulation, admission to intensive care Estimated Duration:36 months
The main purpose of study is to assess the dose-response relationship of BMS-986165 (Dose A or Dose B once daily [QD]) at Week 16 in the treatment of participants with active PsA.
A multicenter, international prospectively collected patient cohort undergoing high-risk spinal cord level surgery or spinal osteotomy procedures will be enrolled to establish the incidence of intraoperative alerts in high-risk spinal cord cases, and explore factors associated with mitigating injury. Baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative characteristics, including demographics, radiological features, lower extremity motor score (LEMS), procedure, anesthetic agents used, and baseline blood pressure will be recorded for either adult patients or pediatric patients.
This research project will contribute to the research surrounding the effect on the ear after noise exposure. This ever-growing field of research has never been more applicable than now with the increase of recreational noise exposure. Noise is the leading cause of preventable hearing loss and excessive occupational noise along with recreational noise exposure can cause a devastating disability. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates 1.1 billion young people could be at risk of hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices. One of the mechanisms that could increase the resistance against noise induced hearing loss is 'sound conditioning'. Animal studies have found that prior exposure to low level noise over a period of a few weeks can 'condition' the ear. This conditioning then reduces the susceptibility to high level exposure i.e. strengthening the ear. In this study, the investigators aim to determine whether previous exposure to loud noise can condition the human ear, reducing the temporary hearing loss and temporary tinnitus ("ringing in the ear") that sometimes occurs after attending a loud nightclub or live music event. There are many implications of this research. For one it will allow us to understand more about the susceptibility to exposure of sounds and the resistance against noise induced hearing loss. This will mean that the investigators can enable appropriate interventions if necessary. For example, individuals who are more susceptible due to low prior exposure may be advised that they are at risk, and encouraged to use hearing protection. Being able to learn more about the impacts of noise with hearing and educate others such as understanding the impacts from high-level exposure.
