There are about 25560 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Germany. 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.
Each year, approximately 15 million people suffer a stroke worldwide of which 80% are due to ischemic cerebral infarction. Based on the results of randomized controlled trials, treatment options and patient outcomes in acute ischemic stroke have dramatically improved in recent years. However, these advances in thrombolysis and endovascular therapy need to be established outside controlled trials to optimize stroke management, treatment procedures, patient selection and inter-hospital transfer in clinical practice. This multicenter longitudinal cohort study is based on a large stroke care network in Northern Bavaria, Germany (region of more than 3.5 million inhabitants) to evaluate and improve treatment in ischemic stroke.
Prospective non-randomized parallel-assignment multi-center clinical investigation. The study design includes two subject cohorts: 1) Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Main Study, and 2) Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation High Standard Power Substudy. Subjects in the main study cohorts are to be treated using the full range of ablation power settings in the Instructions For Use. Subjects in the High Standard Power Substudy are to be treated in the upper end of the recommended ablation power settings (40-50 Watts).
The risk of a severe medical event during long-duration spaceflight is significant and can endanger both the whole mission and crew. There is a certain risk for a cardiac arrest in space requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). So far, 5 known techniques to perform CPR in microgravity have been reported. The aim of the present study was to describe and gather data for two new CPR techniques useful in microgravity.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of elexacaftor (ELX) / tezacaftor (TEZ) / ivacaftor (IVA) triple combination (TC) in subjects 6 through 11 years of age with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function (MF) mutation (F/MF genotypes).
ACEI-COVID-19 is a multicenter, randomized trial testing the hypothesis that stopping/replacing chronic treatment with ACE-inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) improves outcomes in symptomatic SARS-CoV2-infected patients
Monocentric trial to evaluate differences in musculoskeletal and cognitive stress of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) vs. conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS). Demographic and personal data are collected and pseudonymized as well as video recordings are performed during surgery. Simultaneously, surface electromyography (EMG) and electrocardiography (ECG), motion tracking data are collected. Additionally, saliva cortisol, perceived discomfort and mental load will be assessed within certain time intervals. The surgeon is not disturbed in his activity and movement by the equipment. Afterwards, the surgeon will be interviewed in a 15-minute standardized interview about the surgery process and the subjective stress sensitivity. Only routine interventions will be recorded, in case of unforeseen complications, the recording will be stopped immediately
Patients with COVID-19 usually present in the ED and receive their initial medical check-up here. We will try to gather information of comorbidities and other conditions at the time of presentation of COVID-19 patients to the ED. The course of the disease prior to admission as well as the momentary health status at presentation to the ED are of interest because they influence risk stratification and decision-making of treating physicians. The ratio of patients with mild or moderate to severe symptoms will help to calculate the need for hospital beds including beds on Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Intermediate Care Units (IMC), as well as the need for other hospital resources.
The present retrospective study analyses perioperative haemotherapy in children and adolescents at the University Hospital Frankfurt.
This non-interventional, observational study retrospectively (and in parts prospectively) investigates, if a Covid-19 associated Nephritis, diagnosed by Urine-dipstick and further Urine-analyses on addmission, can help to predict later complications, adverse outcomes and later need for ICU-capacity in Covid-19 patients as well as can guide preventive strategies.
The usability of a novel test to categorize a distorted visual impression (metamorphopsia) is examined with the questionnaire "SUS"
