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.
As part of the clinical study, 25 patients each were provided with removable partial dentures with clasps made of PEEK in two centres (University Hospital Heidelberg, Department of Prosthodontics and University Hospital for Dental Prosthetics Innsbruck). The patients were examined over a period of 3 years for the number and type of technical or biological complications and questioned about their oral health-related quality of life.
The main objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of si-544. Other objectives are to study the metabolism of si-544 in the body and to assess the effects of si-544 on cells of the body's immune system (immune cells) that have been chronically activated by the disease. Likewise, the effect of si-544 on inflammatory responses in the body triggered by the disease and other disease symptoms will be investigated.
Evaluation of a bloodletting acupuncture at the fossa poplitea in comparison to bloodletting acupuncture at the regio glutaea and a waiting list control group in patients with subacute and chronic non-specific pain low back pain.
This trial on biomarker validation investigates the use of innovative re-staging FDG-PET parameters to detect highly chemoradiation (CRT) sensitive squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus (SCEC) at the end of preoperative or definitive CRT.
This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, Phase 2 study in mutiple myeloma with newly diagnosed and treatment-naïve participants for whom high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation is part of the intended treatment plan. The study is evaluating a technique called Mass Spectrometry Minimal Residual Disease (MS-MRD) using blood samples and compares it with the minimal residual disease (MRD) technique using bone marrow samples.
Chronic neck pain is a common and highly prevalent clinical entity among the population. It causes a high economic and financial burden. Commonly people with neck pain present temporomandibular disorders (TMD). These conditions are closely correlated with each other. Several studies have shown that patients with neck pain do have abnormalities in motor control, endurance capacities, and strength of the cervical and orofacial area. Several treatment modalities are available for neck pain that can be divided into pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical approaches. Among the non-pharmaceutical interventions, physiotherapy, manual therapy and exercises are of interest. The effect of treatment modalities is heterogeneous. Passive modalities often lack positive long-term outcomes. Therefore, our trial aims to measure the effects of a combined treatment, consisting in manual therapy and a movement control training for the neck region or for the temporomandibular region, respectively. The implementation of the temporomandibular movement control training is based on the assumption that there might be crossover effects between both regions, i.e., convergence of cervical and trigeminal sensory afferents between these two regions. We designed a parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) with three intervention arms and a blinded assessor for outcomes that are clinician performed. This study is a pilot trial, so each group is expected to consist of 15 subjects. Both female and male patients between the ages of 18 and 65 will be included. Participants must suffer from idiopathic chronic neck pain (at least 3 months) and may also have symptomatic TMD disorders. The Primary Outcome will be neck pain disability measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Secondary Outcomes will be Diagnostic Criteria (DC)/TMD (Axis I and Axis II), range of motion (CROM, FRT), CVA, PPT, CCFT, and both cervical and orofacial test batteries to assess motor control in each region. Patients are randomly assigned to one of the three intervention groups using a computer-generated sequence which is concealed. The three groups are: 1) clinical reasoning (CR) based physical therapy + cervical motor control training, 2) CR based physical therapy + orofacial motor control training, 3) CR based physical therapy + general coordination and strengthening exercises for the jaw and neck region. Prior to the start of treatment, participants will undergo an eligibility assessment. If the participant meet the inclusion criteria, the baseline assessment is conducted, and the treatment is planned following the prescription for physiotherapy in Germany. Treatment will comprise six 30-minute treatment sessions, which take place once a week over a period of 6 weeks. Upon completion of the six treatment sessions, the final examination is conducted, which includes the same assessments as the initial examination.
This is a phase l/ll open-label, multicentre, interventional single-arm trial of MB-CART19.1 in patients with refractory SLE systemic lupus erythematosus. In the phase I part, a maximum of n=12 patients will be treated in a maximum of 3 dose levels. In the phase IIa part, a maximum of n=17 will be treated (n=10 patients in a 1st stage + n=7 patients in a 2nd stage). This includes the patients from the phase I part treated on the recommended dose level.
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy of the intervention (WB-EMS Training) in a sedentary group of adults with pre-diabetes and to estimate the potential effect sizes. The main goals and questions it aims to answer are: - Efficacy WB-EMS training in sedentary adults with pre-diabetes, - Has WB-EMS training positive effects on HbA1c and other biomarkers? Researchers will compare the intervention group with two control groups to see if WB-EMS training has effects on pre-diabetes.
Retrospective evaluation of the value of additive therapeutic plasma exchange (PEX) compared to standard medical therapy (SMT) in Amanita toxin-associated acute liver failure in children and adolescents within the last 10 years at a international group of liver transplant centers.
The proposed clinical trial aims to examine the efficacy of an online-based self-help intervention for auditory hallucinations in persons with psychotic disorders. The intervention is primarily based on Metacognitive Training (MKT) and Mindfulness-Based Group Therapy (MBGT). The investigators will utilize a mixed-method study design within a randomized controlled trial. The intervention group will be compared with a waitlist-control group (WL-TAU). Both study conditions are allowed to continue standard scheduled treatment. The aim is to analyze the efficacy of and the subjective satisfaction with the intervention, based on self-report assessments evaluated from baseline (T0) to post-intervention after 6 weeks (T1).
