There are about 25348 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.
This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, induction and maintenance study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RVT-3101 in adult participants with moderate to severe active Crohn's disease.
NNC0519-0130 is a new medicine to improve the treatment options for people living with type 2 diabetes and people with overweight. In this study one dose of NNC0519-0130 will be given and blood levels of NNC0519-0130 will be compared between people with reduced kidney function and people with normal kidney function. The study will last up to 52 days including a screening phase of up to 28 days prior to dosing.
This observational study investigates whether the daily measured trend of cardiac output as evaluated by indirect calorimetry correlates with the same evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography.
The clinical trial is intended to evaluate the efficacy, safety and economic benefit of coronary lithotripsy compared to other additional procedures (cutting or super high pressure balloon angioplasty, ablative procedures) in lesion preparation and interventional treatment of severely calcified coronary stenoses.
Medical practice often comes with high stress. Stress negatively affects our health and well-being and is linked to doctors making mistakes, some of which can be deadly. In this study, the effect of two quick stress-relief methods on daily stress levels is estimated. The two anti-stress exercises are designed to easily fit into daily routines: 1. Box breathing (6 minutes) is known to reduce stress and lower the heart rate. It is used by the military and law enforcement, among others, to manage stress. 2. Breathing and mindfulness exercise (10 minutes): This guided breathing and mindfulness intervention combines mindful breathing with simple body movements, developed to reduce the perceived level of stress. The effectiveness of these interventions is being examined in a series of N-of-1 trials. Each participant can choose between the interventions. After being randomly allocated to an individual sequence of one-week intervention and control phases, the study begins. Participants record their stress levels daily over the four-week study period. The intervention is only performed in the intervention phases. Upon completing the study, the stress levels during the intervention phases are compared to those in the control phases. Each participant will receive an individual analysis based on the collected data. In addition, the investigators will estimate the effects at the population level. Three months after the study, a survey will be sent to the participants to check if the benefits have persisted.
Retrospective chart review study to elucidate the genotype and phenotype of patients with PRPF31-associated retinitis pigmentosa and asymptomatic carriers of the respective variant(s)
Background: The major aim of this study is to compare the effects of emotion focused (experiential) and cognitive interventions of schema therapy (ST) on emotion regulation deficits in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) according to DSM-V (alternative model) criteria. In a randomized, single-blinded parallel-group design clinical effects as well as effects on neurotransmitter metabolism and connectivity will be compared. Method: While the 9-weeks treatment protocol of particular interest includes emotion focused interventions (ST-EF, n=60) such as chair dialogs, imagery rescripting or role play, the active control condition (ST-AC, n=60) is restricted to cognitive interventions, e.g. psychoeducation or pro/contra discussions. MEGA-PRESS 1H-MR spectroscopy and resting-state functional MR imaging (rs-fMRI) will be used before/after treatment protocols (T0-T1) and 6 months after the end of therapy (T2) to assess the effects on glutamate (Glx) and GABA metabolism in key regions of the target networks (executive control network, ECN: dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, DLPFC; salience network, SN: anteromedial cingulate cortex, aMCC; default mode network, DMN: pregenual cingulate cortex, pgACC) and to investigate the corresponding altered connectivity in these networks. The biological aberrations at T0 as compared to healthy controls (n=60) and treatment effects (at T1 and T2, n≥40 in each condition) on these aberrations will be linked to clinical effects measured by an extensive test battery with particular interest on emotion regulation, and specified by the Reliable Change Index (RCI). For longitudinal data mixed model analysis will be performed. The main questions are (1) whether the emotion regulation deficit and the pattern of BPD-specific symptomatology are associated with a specific pattern of Glx and GABA concentrations in the DLPFC, aMCC and pgACC and corresponding deviations of functional connectivity within the ECN, SN and DMN. Hypothesis: Depending on primary and secondary outcome measures at T0, altered RSFC in the DMN, SN and ECN and corresponding altered Glx or GABA concentrations are assumed. (2) whether both treatment conditions have different clinical effects on the ability to regulate emotions and whether the respective clinical effects are associated with the changes in neurobiological aberrations. Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that the ST-EF condition will improve emotion regulation skills more effectively than the control condition. Only in the ST-EF condition are higher response and remission rates expected in the primary and secondary outcome measures, as well as effects on the ECN, SN and DMN with corresponding changes in RSFC and Glx or GABA concentrations.
The aim of the planned study project is to assess the current situation regarding the treatment of patients with severe stroke at the neuro-critical care unit. Specifically, determination of whether the target parameters recommended in the guidelines for temperature, systolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, blood glucose, arterial oxygen partial pressure and arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure had to be maintained. From the planned data analysis, the need for the introduction of cerebrovascular bundles can be derived and planned.
Patients with head and neck cancer requiring definitive or adjuvant radio(chemo)therapy can take part in the study. The aim is to record the nutritional status and diet of the patients during the trial and regularly at a period of 8 weeks after irradiation and to reduce the rate of weight loss and malnutrition.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a eugenol-based product in improving the quality of toothbrushing and relieving areas of gingival discomfort. This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, examiner-blind clinical trial.
