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.
Evaluate the evolution of locomotor abilities in patients treated with functional electrostimulation and biofeedback (PHENIX LIBERTY VIVALTIS device) for musculoskeletal disorders of the knee and spine. Does the use of the medical device in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders lead to an improvement ? Participants will use the medical device, which provides electrical stimulation, biofeedback and pressure biofeedback to re-educate the muscles of the knee and spine area and
The study will aim to find out if the drug andexanet alfa is safe and effective in preventing major bleeding during urgent surgery or invasive procedures. The study will compare the use of andexanet alfa to the usual care given at the study center.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clonal diseases of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) characterized by dysplastic and inefficient hematopoiesis related to excessive progenitor cell death. Ferroptosis is a recently described cell death mechanism and we think that it could be a major player in the pathophysiology of MDS, involved in the cell death that characterizes these diseases and contributing to cytopenias. The study aims to demonstrate that there is a significant activation of this phenomenon in MDS patients compared to a population of subjects without MDS.
Hypertension is the most frequent chronic pathology in France and in the world. It is one of the main modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. In France, 50% of treated hypertensives are uncontrolled and only 30% of treated patients are fully adherent to their antihypertensive treatment. Poor adherence to drug treatments is considered as one of the main causes of non-control of hypertension. Since 2018, a new profession has entered the French healthcare system: Advanced Practice Nurses (APN). They have many broad skills, at the interface of nursing and medical exercises. The purpose of this interventional study is to assess the impact of APN on blood pressure (BP) control in the context of usual care of hypertension thanks to a better adhesion of patients and a better therapeutic alliance. The hypothesis formulated is that an individual APN intervention, included in a usual hypertension management, improves BP control.
The language environment that influences the child's language development has been studied using different subjective tools, mainly audio and/or video recording and manual transcriptions. The linguistic results of the implanted deaf child are dependent on the age at the implant, but also on the auditory and linguistic stimulation in the first months following the placement of the implant. Parents are the main actors in the child's language development. Professionals can rely on the LENA tool: Language ENvironment Analysis, which objectifies the language environment of the child at home in his daily environment. It is possible to obtain statistics on the number of adult words received by the child, the number of words produced by the child as well as the exposure to media and noise. On the basis of this quantitative data, the family can be supported in an attempt to optimize the conditions for receiving their child's speech. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of speech therapy parental support using the data provided by the Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) tool, in a pediatric population implanted early, i.e. before the age of 18 months and aged under 24 months inclusive at the start of their participation in the study.
In intensive care, many gastric tubes are inserted on a regular basis. There are different practices in terms of the location of the gastric tube. In some cases, the tube is inserted through the nose and in others, it is inserted through the mouth. In the literature and in practice, these gastric tubes create discomfort and complications that have an impact not only on the patient, but also on the treatments and the length of the patient's stay in hospital. Nosocomial Ventilator Associated Pneumonia is the most serious common complication for patients intubated with a gastric tube. It is possible that placement site may have an impact on the risk of developing Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, particularly by increasing the risk of bacterial pululation opposite the sinuses when the tube is placed via the nasal route. Investigator hypothesises that placing the gastric tube orally will reduce the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia compared with the nasal route in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients.
Background Impaired gait adaptability is one of the major causes of falls among older adults by producing inappropriate gait adjustments in cluttered environments. Training programs designed to improve gait adaptability behavior in a systemic approach may prevent falls in older adults. Recently, the technology of virtual reality has appeared as a relevant gait training tool based on its training implementation potential. The present study was designed to compare the effectiveness of a virtual reality gait training program (VR group) for improving gait adaptability behavior and thus, reducing the risk of falls relative to a conventional training program of Nordic walkway (NW group). We hypothesize that the virtual reality gait training program will lead to greater gait adaptability improvements. Methods The protocol describes a randomized controlled trial with pre-tests, post-tests, retention tests and follow-up. Forty healthy independent living community dweller participants (65-80 years) will be allocated, after a general medical examination, to the VR or the NW group for a training program of six weeks. Primary outcome related to gait adaptability capacities and acceptance of the virtual reality device will be assessed in pre- and post-intervention and one month after the completion of the training program (retention). A follow-up will be done during the 12 months after the completion of the gait training program. Discussion This study will demonstrate the relative relevance of a gait training program in virtual reality versus a conventional one for improving gait adaptability behavior in healthy older adults and thus preventing falls.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the safety (phase II), then efficacy (phase III) of baricitinib plus standard of care (SOC) as compared to SOC alone for the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia in patients with a pro-inflammatory profile.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific reeducation performed by speech therapists in moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, as an alternative to the continuous Positive Anyway Pressure (CPAP) and the mandibular advancement device.
Acquired inflammatory or infectious cardiac diseases, in pediatrics, include Kawasaki disease, myocarditis, and Covid-19-related Pediatric Multisystemic Inflammatory Syndrome (PIMS). These 3 inflammatory cardiac diseases have clinical, biological, and echographic similarities and differences. Nevertheless their modalities of monitoring, management and evolution are different. The investigators wish to retrospectively analyze biological and echocardiographic data of Kawasaki disease, myocarditis, PIMS patients managed at Nancy Children Hospital from January 1, 2017 to June 31, 2023. The primary objective of this study is to identify, for these 3 pathologies, the prognostic factors of initiation of inotropic support. The secondary objective is to identify the prognostic factors of degradation of ventricular function.
