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.
Study to assess the efficacy and safety of a multiple dose regimen and a single dose regimen of intranasal Neumifil, administered prior to challenge with Influenza virus in healthy adult participants
Patients with colorectal cancer will be recruited to undergo vitamin D supplementation in the peri-operative period. Vitamin D levels (25OHD) will be measured to assess response to supplementation.
The back squat is a commonly utilized resistance training exercise for the promotion of both performance and musculoskeletal health. There are a range of manipulations that can be made to the setup of this resistance exercise, with once such adaptation being the stance width when performing the exercise. This intervention aims to explore the effects of increasing the stance with on performance indices in elite rugby league players.
In people living with coronary heart disease (CHD), V̇O2 peak predicts all-cause mortality. V̇O2 peak increases with regular exercise training. Thus, in exercise-based cardiovascular rehabilitation programmes, V̇O2 peak is a useful marker of how effective the exercise training has been. Maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold standard method of measuring V̇O2 peak. However, maximal CPET is expensive and requires trained staff to conduct the test and interpret the results. Furthermore, CPET is not routinely available in United Kingdom (UK) cardiovascular rehabilitation programmes. Field exercise tests, such as incremental cycle ergometer tests, are used in conjunction with predictive equations to estimate V̇O2 peak. However, this group has shown that estimating changes in V̇O2 peak in this way is inaccurate. Alternative solutions are required. VentriJect Seismofit® uses a technique called seismocardiography (SCG); the measurement of vibrations in the chest wall, caused by each heartbeat, using accelerometers. SCG can be used to estimate V̇O2 peak from a SCG measurement taken at rest. This study will explore the validity of VentriJect Seismofit for estimating V̇O2 peak in people with CHD.
This study investigated the effects of a proprietorial herbal supplement, Turmeric Brainwave (now Mind focus), on cognition, mood and the microbiome in older adults experiencing subjective memory decline, following 90 days supplementation.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts signals between the brain and the rest of the body, this includes signals needed to control the bladder and bowels. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) (electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on the skin over the spine) has shown potential to improve bladder function. Additionally pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), has been shown to help control bladder overactivity and reduce incontinence in people with a SCI. This study will investigate PFMT with SCS, and its effects on restoring bladder function, and continence. We aim to recruit 25 participants. Those eligible will be patients from the London Spinal Cord Injury Centre with a supra-sacral SCI (>6 months post-injury), aged 16 years old and above.
Approximately a quarter of stroke survivors are of working age, and it is well-known that disabilities caused by stroke can lead to difficulties returning to work. In addition to the economic cost, being out of the workplace due to disability has major psychosocial costs for the individual, causing reduced sense of purpose, quality of life, and standard of living. Communication problems (which can affect reading and writing, as well as producing and understanding speech) are not as visible as other stroke-related problems such as a weak arm or difficulties walking. However, they can cause major problems for returning to work because of the importance of communication across a vast range of work activities, for example as a means to engage with colleagues, to share information in order to solve problems and resolve conflicts, and as a means to ensure health and safety. There has been little research into the effects of communication problems on returning to work after a stroke, so the investigators want to explore this issue. Specifically, the investigators want to find out what helps and what hinders people with communication disorders following a stroke when they attempt to return to work; what information and support is most helpful to them; how this information and support should be given and by whom. The investigators aim to do this by interviewing people across NHS Grampian who have the experience of attempting to return to work with post-stroke communication problems. The investigators will then look at all the interviews together and find the common feelings or experiences that the participants mentioned. The findings will be written up and shared widely with professionals and with stroke survivors. The knowledge gained will help the investigators to plan a programme to help people with these problems to return to work.
This study aims to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a brief intervention, involving a imagery-competing task, remotely delivered to parents who are currently experiencing persistent intrusive traumatic memories at least one month following their child's discharge from intensive care.
Determine the baseline characteristics of patients who have recurrent symptomatic genital herpetic disease Determine the acceptance to patients of clinical trial procedures Determine interest in participation in genital herpes vaccine trials
This trial investigated the impact of providing a regular meal with and without additional multiple micronutrients for children in Northwest Pakistan on their performance at school, in comparison to a local government school that served as a control i.e. no school meal.
