There are about 36633 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in France. 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.
Sexual health is a legitimate area to explore in the care of these patients, as it has such an impact on quality of life. However, addressing sexual health in a situation of chronic disease confronts the double societal taboo of disease and sexuality. Health professionals are uncomfortable because they are not trained to talk about the subject, especially in the presence of parents and with a teenager they have watched grow up. In this context, a needs survey among juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients and the point of view of their parents in the field of sexual health seems necessary. Main objective: To determine the expectations of adolescents (aged 10-19 years) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis regarding knowledge and communication with health care professionals in the field of sexual health.
Stroke is a major public health issue in developed countries. A full etiological work up within a short time is critical to implement the appropriate preventive treatment. The etiological work up is actually based on a clinical examination and on a group of paraclinical examinations. The realization of the standard strategy is time consuming, and increase the cost of the medical care. A non-invasive one-shot examination of the heart, the aorta and the cervical and intracranial arteries (cci-MRI) could overcome these disadvantages.The investigator therefore propose to carry out an overall assessment of the performance of the cci-MR in the etiological work up of ischemic strokes and TIAs compared to the reference strategy
Abdominopelvic bleeding can occur due to numerous causes including for the vast majority, trauma, surgery complications and tumors. Interventional radiologists often exclude arterial acute hemorrhage using cyanoacrylate or a liquid embolic agent, but few prospective results have been published to assess their efficacy and safety. The historic and most studied liquid embolic agent to date is Onyx. Results in the treatment of acute peripheral non-neurologic hemorrhage have been detailed in a meta-analysis published in 2015. This systematic review found 19 articles presenting 131 patient cases and 150 lesions treated with Onyx from 2005 to August 2014. There were 11 case series and 8 case reports but no prospective trial. The most common presenting symptoms were of gastrointestinal (GI) origin (n = 51). Rebleeding of the baseline lesion occurred in 7/131 patients. No deaths resulting from complications of the embolic procedure were reported. One patient died of persistent hemoptysis after treatment with Onyx. No deaths were directly attributable to the use of Onyx. During a peripheral embolization procedure with available embolic agents other than SQUIDPERI, residual feedings or collateral vessels became gradually less visible to the operator due to the high radiopacity of the liquid. It was therefore essential to develop an embolization system with lower radiopacity, or with radiopacity that decreases over time. Additionally, depending on the angioarchitecture and flow characteristics, it is important to have an embolic agent with various viscosities. SQUIDPERI is a liquid embolic agent with various viscosities and radiopacities. It is indicated for the embolization of lesions in the peripheral vasculature but its use is poorly reported as of today. The purpose of this prospective non interventional multicenter study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SQUIDPERI for the treatment of abdominopelvic arterial acute bleeding or imminent risk of bleeding.
The general purpose of this research project is to analyze the specific role of motor imagery on motor learning, assessed through corticospinal excitability measurements and behavioral data collection. This project is based on four sequences. For Sequence 1, the main objective is to examine the effect of mental training on movement speed and accuracy in a manual motor sequence task, as well as the influence of sensory feedback in immediate post-test (i.e., execution of a similar, but not identical, manual motor sequence, other manual tasks) on performance in delayed post-test. The secondary objective will be to examine corticospinal changes (i.e., amplitude of motor evoked potentials) induced by mental training, by measuring the amplitude of motor evoked potentials before and after mental training. For Sequence 2, the main objective is to examine the impact of a motor disturbance induced by a robotic arm at different intervals during the motor imagery process. The secondary objective will be to examine the corticospinal changes (i.e. amplitude of evoked motor potentials) induced by mental training as a function of the applied perturbations, before and after perturbation. For Sequence 3, the main objective will be to examine the influence of neuroplasticity on the quality of mental training. More specifically, the investigators will study the links between brain plasticity and motor learning through mental training. The secondary objective will be to examine the corticospinal changes (i.e. amplitude of evoked motor potentials) induced by mental training at different levels of the neuromuscular system (cortical, cervicomedullar, peripheral) after a training period. For Sequence 4, the main objective will be to examine the effect of short-term arm-immobilization of on the retention of motor learning induced by mental training. The secondary objective will be to examine the corticospinal changes (i.e., amplitude of motor evoked potentials) induced by of short-term arm-immobilization, or by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), on motor learning. The results of this fundamental research project will allow a better understanding of neurophysiological and behavioral mechanisms that underlie motor learning through motor imagery. The results will allow to efficiently consider inter-individual specificities and will thus open up to clinical research perspectives, towards the establishment of adapted motor rehabilitation protocols.

Sleep is a physiological function that plays an essential role in many somatic, cognitive and psychological processes. Although there are many criteria for the effectiveness of sleep, its quantity is unanimously recognized as a major determinant of health. Too little sleep is associated with an increase in metabolic, cardiovascular and accidental morbidity and mortality caused by drowsiness while traveling or at work. Today, the time devoted to sleep is in competition with the time devoted to work, transport or new technologies, in a professional or recreational context. Faced with the public health issues thus raised, research has highlighted the interest of studying the relationships between sleep time and socio-demographic factors, beyond the mere involvement of sleep pathologies. However, among these pathologies, the role of insomnia is not negligible: it is in fact the most frequent sleep disorder (16% of French people in 2010) and represents an important source of involuntary reduction in sleep time, likely to increase inappropriate sleepiness during periods of wakefulness, in the context of activities sometimes involving safety. Flight crews are exposed to specific operational constraints, both in civilian and military environments, which may compromise the sleep recovery function (operational fatigue, extended work amplitudes, repetition of jet lag, etc.). These constraints, which are conducive to compromising the required levels of alertness and cognitive performance, are also at risk of cardiometabolic complications. They therefore raise the issue of risk control and maintenance of air safety. The issue of fatigue in pilots remains an essential issue for the safety of flight operations. Several determinants of operational fatigue in air transport have been identified, such as irregular sleep schedules, large, irregular, and sometimes unpredictable activity amplitudes, sleep debt, night flying, and circadian disruptions related to multiple and repeated time zone changes. While these factors have to deal with rules within airlines that are more often based on "work/rest" than "sleep/wake", current legislation and regulations in the aviation industry are now moving towards scientific approaches to fatigue management in commercial aviation, emphasizing the importance of sleep and taking circadian rhythms into account. In the wake of recent work carried out in the general French population, the conduct of a specific study on sleep time, prevalence and factors associated with chronic insomnia and the complaint of drowsiness among aircrew appears relevant. Due to the specific operational constraints mentioned above, chronic insomnia and sleep debt can be assumed to be more frequent among sailors than in the general population. A better consideration of certain sleep disorders in professional aircrew could allow the adaptation of prevention strategies or countermeasures aimed at optimizing the control of risks with regard to flight safety.
Exploration of pathophysiological mechanisms in chronic inflammatory rheumatism and rare systemic autoimmune diseases with the objective of identifying therapeutic targets.
The main aim of the present study is to compare the effect of a 12-week physical activity program on body weight gain and body composition changes between normal weight and constitutionally lean individuals. The second objective will be to question the potential additional effect of a protein supplementation coupled to the physical training intervention on body wright and body composition in constitutionally lean women.
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) accounts for 70-90% of brain injuries, with 600 cases of mTBI per 100 000 people in the united states, but only 100-300 mTBI patients per 100 000 people receive hospital-based care. Symptoms reported immediately after injury tend to diminish over the following 10 days and are generally resolved by 3 months. However, in 15-25% of cases , problems persist, and may even worsen, at 3 months. Physical, emotional, and behavioral factors can be affected. Physical disorders include pain and fatigue. Sleep disorders are also common. Persistent symptoms can affect patient outcomes (affecting all aspects of life) and increase public healthcare costs .In a previous study (NCT03811626, Efficacy of Psychoeducation and Cognitive Rehabilitation After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury for Preventing Post-concussional Syndrome in Individuals With High Risk of Poor Prognosis: A Randomized Clinical Trial. The investigators were able to demonstrate that early multidisciplinary management improved the outcome and prognosis of patients by statistically significantly reducing the percentage of patients with Post traumatic syndrome distress at six months (6% for the treated group versus 52% for the control group, p < 0.001). It seems important to verify that if this short-term improvement (6 months after the trauma) persists in the long term, and therefore at a distance from the end of the initially proposed rehabilitation.
