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 aims to investigate whether protein fortification of foods and beverages causes mouthdrying and mucoadhesion and whether this is influenced by age and saliva flow.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterised by chronic high blood sugar concentration (hyperglycaemia) and insulin resistance leading to a reduction in insulin sensitivity. These hyperglycaemic excursions can seriously impact metabolic, micro and macrovascular health. The total cost of the direct and indirect care of individuals with diabetes (~90% T2DM) in the UK (United Kingdom) is £23.7 billion, equating to ~20% of the annual national health service (NHS) budget, with this projected to become unsustainable. Low-cost interventions to improve glycaemic control in these individuals are therefore warranted. Current interventions include pharmaceuticals, exercise and calorie restrictive diets. Pharmaceutical interventions carry a high financial cost, while exercise and diet programmes have a low adherence rate in individuals with T2DM. Heat therapy offers one potential low cost therapy. Immersion in a hot tub for 30 mins.day-1 for 10 days has been shown to reduce fasting plasma [glucose] and HbA1c in individuals with T2DM, which may be explained by acute (e.g. muscle) and chronic (e.g. reduced inflammatory status and increased heat shock proteins (HSP)) adaptations, although experimental evidence for these hypothesis are sparse. Other potential benefits include improved glycaemic control, insulin sensitivity, elevated resting metabolic rate and improved micro- and macrovascular function. The aim of the present study is to determine whether acute hot water immersion can improve glucose tolerance in individuals with T2DM and whether it is more beneficial to undertake this before or after a OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test).
This study is a feasibility study. It will assess areas of uncertainty relating to the implementation of an individualised exercise programme for patients with a recent kneecap dislocation. This will help determine if a future larger study is feasible, and inform the design and conduct of future research that would aim to optimise outcomes after a kneecap dislocation.
The main purpose of the study is to see if GLPG1690 helps (together with the standard of care treatment) in the treatment of the skin and other areas affected by systemic sclerosis. Another aim is to find out how safe/well tolerated GLPG1690 will be and whether there are any side effects. The study will also look at other things, including whether the study drug affects disease progression and also if it changes any aspect of the quality of life.
POISE is a two arm interventional trial nested within a cohort (Trials Within Cohorts or TWiCs design). This tests less aggressive early therapy in patients newly diagnosed with low impact oligoarticular PsA. Arm 1 will receive standard step up therapy in the cohort and act as the control group. Arm 2 will receive local steroid injections to active joints and will be able to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) only
The effect of different protein intakes on skeletal muscle atrophy during short term unilateral leg immobilisation.
This study aims to examine whether greater length of mindfulness practice results in more beneficial outcomes.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) following single and multiple ascending dose administration of SPR720 administered orally in healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate guselkumab efficacy versus placebo in participants with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and an inadequate response to Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-alpha) therapy by assessing the reduction in signs and symptoms of joint disease.
This is an open-label, multi-center, study where eligible participants will undergo treatment with Juvéderm® VOLIFT™ with Lidocaine injected into the lips for lip augmentation.
