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 management of symptomatic patients with moderate Aortic Stenosis (AS) remains challenging and tests that would give more definitive answers are needed. The value of increase in Aortic Valve mean Gradient (AVMG), lack of change in Aortic Valve area (AVA) and calculation of valve compliance/resistance during stress echo (SE) in the symptomatic moderate AS population prognostication has to the investigators knowledge not been examined before. Similarly the additive value of myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR), Computed Tomography (CT) calcium score, speckle tracking echocardiography, carotid ultrasonography, and N-Terminal pro B- type natriuretic peptide B (NT-proBNP) in the prognostication of this population group especially in combination with SE remains unclear.

Observational feasibility study using Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) to assess quality of life and 'return to normal life' up to 1 year following emergency laparotomy
This study evaluates the potential for induction of photosensitization by P-3074 0.25% finasteride cutaneous solution compared to that of placebo vehicle cutaneous solution and a negative control (0.9% sodium chloride, NaCl)
Open label study to evaluate tafamidis for the treatment of transthyretin cardiomyopathy
This study aims to find out if music therapy is effective in improving the quality of life of palliative care patients. It will do this by comparing palliative care patients who receive music therapy with those who do not receive music therapy.
Depression is a very common, serious and in some cases life‐threatening condition, affecting around 350 million people globally. Approximately 11% of citizens in the European Union suffer from depression at some point in their lives. Depression is associated with significant socio-economic costs and has been predicted to become the greatest cause of disability worldwide by 2030 . In 2010 it was estimated that there were approximately 30 million patients with depression in Europe, with aggregated economic costs of approximately €92 billion . Improvements in managing the treatment of depression are urgently needed to improve patient outcomes, contain rising healthcare costs, improve workplace productivity and help to address global economic and societal challenges. While a range of effective antidepressant medications are available to treat depression, it takes 4-6 weeks after starting antidepressant treatment before a physician can detect whether the treatment is working. However, surprisingly, more than 50% of patients fail to respond to the first antidepressant treatment they are prescribed. Therefore, it often takes several months to identify an effective antidepressant treatment for the majority of patients with depression. During this time a patient's ability to work and function socially is severely impaired. Individuals may be absent from work for many weeks or months and this places a substantial burden on the economy and on healthcare resources.
Venous ulceration is a major burden on the NHS. Current treatment involves bandaging therapy which is replaced on a once or twice weekly basis. The Juxta-CuresTM device offers an alternative solution for the long-term treatment of patients with venous ulceration. This is a removable adjustable device with an inbuilt pressure monitor. The aim of this study is to determine whether the Juxta-Cures™ device provides at least equivalent ulcer healing for patients with venous ulceration compared to bandaging. Secondary outcome measures include whether the Juxta-Cures™ device improves patient compliance and quality of life compared to bandaging, and whether the Juxta-Cures™ device is cost effective compared to bandaging.
Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) has been recognised as a safe and effective treatment for the management of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety, acceptability and pilot efficacy of transcutaneous TNS using a novel device.
