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.
After acute infection, patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often suffer from persisting symptoms for more than 3 months (post COVID-19). Sleep disorders (31%) have already been assessed by questionnaires and interviews in post-COVID-19, but have not yet been proven by polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard for sleep testing. This study aimed to measure sleep characteristics in post-COVID-19 patients.
From May 2020 to May 2021, the investigators retrospectively evaluated clinical cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations performed in patients with suspected cardiac involvement post COVID-19. Between May 2021 and August 2021, the investigators evaluated patients with suspected cardiac disease after COVID-19 vaccination.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether the study drug, EDP1815, is safe and effective in the treatment of atopic dermatitis compared with placebo. The study will look at different doses of the study drug, and whether there are differences when the drug is given once daily or twice daily.
Due to actual standard of neonatal care bilirubin is monitored in neonates several times after birth to avoid hyperbilirubinemia. As the peak is often one or two days after discharge from hospital a more precise predication than the actual one is desirable to avoid needlessly follow-ups. The precision of an algorithm to predict bilirubin values 24-48h into the future is evaluated in this study.
Patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) will be randomized to either a moderate continuous (MCT, 50-60% of VO2peak) or interval training (IT, 80-90% of VO2peak) group for 6 weeks with 3 sessions per week, lasting for 20 minutes. An additional 10 minutes of resistance training will be performed in each group. Improvement of VO2peak and quality of life (KCCQ score) between the groups will be assessed.
Attaining goals or rewards commonly entails response costs. In light of cost and benefits, how do participants decide what effort should be put in to give it a shot? Figuratively, you may "go with your gut", but the literal contribution of the gut-brain axis in allocating effort is poorly understood to date. Here, the investigators propose to investigate non-invasive transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) as a potential modulator of energy metabolism and response vigor. Since the neural mechanisms causing the diverse cognitive and behavioral effects of the stimulation remain largely elusive, the investigators will use computational modeling of instrumental behavior and determine the primary metabolic effects of the stimulation. The investigators hypothesize that tVNS will lead to activation of afferent targets in the brain. In turn, the elicited brain activation is expected to mediate the cognitive effects of the stimulation. This may affect both sides of the utility equation because anti-depressive effects may correspond to boosting the benefit of effort whereas anti-nociceptive effects may reduce perceived costs of effort. Collectively, dissecting the cognitive effects of non-invasive tVNS in healthy individuals may facilitate the more widespread use as a treatment in mental disorders that are characterized by metabolic alterations such as depression.
The CranioFix®2 PMCF study has been set up as an action within the framework of a proactive post-market surveillance system of the manufacturer. The aim of this observational study is to collect systematically and proactively data regarding the performance of CranioFix®2, like adverse events (AEs), handling and cosmetic outcome, under daily clinical practice when used as intended by the manufacturer.
The aim of this observational clinical trial is to obtain data on the safety, efficacy and satisfaction of the Tandem T:Slim X:2 Pump System in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Study to assess the capability of using the Histolog Scanner, a recent large field-of-view confocal laser scanning medical imaging device for the breast cancer detection in fresh lumpectomy margins.
The Nova StatStrip Glucose / Ketone Meter System is a fast, simple, whole blood system that can be used to quantify both glucose and ketones using two distinct test strips. This Protocol will describe an evaluation of the system's Ketone performance only. Ketone testing methods that quantify beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB), the predominant ketone body, are used for diagnosing and monitoring ketoacidosis, a life-threatening complication of hyperglycemia. The performance of the StatStrip Ketone test strip using the Nova StatStrip Glucose / Ketone Hospital Meter System on venous and capillary whole blood will be assessed.
