NCT04916678
Promising results of an early EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) intervention on PCLS (PostConcussion-Like Syndrome) at three months have been shown, suggesting that the availability of psychological care in emergency departments will be useful. The real impact of such a care service remains to be measured. Several factors may modulate the impact of such a measure, leaving the extent of its public health benefit uncertain. In the SOFTER III trial, the results suggest that high levels of self-rated stress at admission probably play a key role in the development of CPSP and psychological intervention. The most appropriate study design for such an objective is to follow a cohort of patients in the Emergency Department and to assess the main risk factors for CPSD 4 months later. To this end, all consecutive patients should be asked to participate in a study and complete a risk factor questionnaire, regardless of their level of risk for CPSD. SOFTER IV offers the opportunity to evaluate the impact of a psychological intervention to reduce the incidence of chronic pain. By acting on the emotions experienced in the Emergency Department, a reduction in acute pain and perhaps in the longer term in chronic pain can be expected. Its psychological aspects, and more specifically the emotional dimension, are known to be related to acute pain. As for the relationship with chronic pain, it exists, but its meaning is not clear because the emotional state is assessed when the pain has already become chronic. It is proposed to integrate the assessment of emotions at inclusion in the project, and to follow up patients 12 months after inclusion to assess the incidence of chronic pain and identify the factors that modulate it. Early intervention in the emergency department, including an early short one-hour EMDR intervention R-TEP (Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol), could thus reduce the incidence of chronic pain.

Frailty is a geriatric syndrome resulting from a decrease in physiological reserve capacities altering the mechanisms of adaptation to stress with, in the absence of diagnosis and management, a short-term risk of falls, hospitalization, loss of autonomy and death. In 2019, the World Health Organization has taken up this subject with the objective of reducing the number of dependent people in the world by 15 million, i.e. 150,000 in France. For this purpose, recommendations for integrated care for seniors (Integrated Care for Older People = ICOPE) have been published. 6 functions are essential to maintain autonomy: mobility, memory, sight, hearing, mental health and nutrition. The first step of the ICOPE program consists of screening for a decline in one of these functions using a tool made up of questions or tests that can be carried out in 8 to 10 minutes in primary care by trained non-professionals. The second step is a thorough evaluation of the person screened, leading to the creation of a personalized care plan. In the current state of affairs, despite its recommendations, this identification is not carried out in Brittany. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing the first stage of the ICOPE program by seizing the opportunity of the creation in the Brest region of two Territorial Health Professional Communities (CPTS) : Brest Santé Océane and Iroise santé.

NCT05502614
Following spinal cord injury signals between the brain and the bladder are disrupted. As a result the bladder often becomes overactive which can lead to the need for frequent trips to the toilet, regular incontinence episodes and a decreased quality-of-life. Neuromodulation is a therapy that aims to target the nerves that become overactive controlling the bladder, stopping the bladder overactivity on demand using an external (non-invasive) nerve stimulation box and sticker electrodes placed on the penis or clitoris. This study is a pilot study that aims to investigate neuromodulation for improving symptoms of bladder overactivity when used by 10 people over eight weeks at home. We will assess whether using the device improves bladder capacity, incontinence, frequency of needing the toilet and whether there are any longer lasting changes after 8 weeks. Finally, the study will aim to find out the acceptability of using this type of therapy for participants and the acceptability of the device we are using. Participants in this trial will participate over 13 weeks and need to visit our centre in Stanmore to have urodynamics tests in the 1st, 9th and 13th week. At home they will use a small stimulation device on a daily basis for 8 weeks to control overactivity in the bladder. Whilst at home they will record relevant outcomes in several three-day diaries and questionnaires. They will record baseline data before starting stimulation and for 4 weeks after.

In surgical patients early risk prediction of postoperative complications and organ dysfunctions is still an important clinical challenge whereas appropriate risk predictors are still missing. In this regard, fatigue is a complex phenomenon, is affected by many factors and has been shown to be associated with delayed return to normal activity after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that early tiredness (acute fatigue) assessed shortly after surgery is associated to postoperative complications and organ dysfunctions and might be used for risk stratification. Therefore, in this prospective, observational study the investigators introduce and evaluate a newly developed score to assess early fatigue during the perioperative period ("Acute Fatigue Score", AFS). The AFS and the Identity-Consequence Fatigue Scala will be used to assess early fatigue and perioperative time courses and inter-rater-variability will be evaluated. The rating of these two fatigue scores will be evaluated regarding the association with hemodynamic, immunologic, endothelial, metabolic, gastrointestinal measures as well as organ dysfunction and complications after surgery. Furthermore, hemodynamic, immunologic, endothelial, metabolic and gastrointestinal measures are investigated with respect to the intraoperative course and postoperative organ dysfunction and complications. In a subgroup of patients, patients will undergo specialized metabolic measures to investigate mitochondrial dysfunction during the perioperative period.

The purpose of this study is to test a brief task of playing the game Tetris to reduce alcohol cravings and alcohol use. Women who are seen at primary care and recruited through the community will be asked to rate alcohol craving and use for a 1-week baseline period. Then they will be randomly assigned to play the Tetris game on their phones daily or to a control condition for a 2-week period. Participants will also complete a cue-reactivity task, that involves viewing pictures of alcohol and rating cravings.
NCT04458311
The purpose of this study is to find out the side effects and safety of a combination of the anti-IL23 targeting monoclonal antibody tildrakizumab in combination with abiraterone acetate in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer and to determine the most appropriate dose of this combination. In the Phase I part of this study small groups of patients will be treated with increasing doses of tildrakizumab in combination with a fixed dose of abiraterone acetate (500mg once daily). Once Phase I has been completed the combination with the optimum safety and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile will be taken forward to the Phase II part of the study. The Phase II part of the study will evaluate the optimized dose/schedule identified in Phase I of the study in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.
NCT04451252

NCT04694378
Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting up tp 30% will develop postoperative right ventricle dysfunction. Its imperative for the physician to fully understand the severity of this complication in order to perform an early diagnosis and carry out the appropriate treatment. Aim: Investigate the correlation between echocardiographic measurements and hemodynamic changes at different time points in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery Hypothesis: 1. Weak correlation between echocardiographic measurements and hemodynamic changes during coronary artery bypass graft surgery 2. Echocardiographic measurements would change across different time points during surgery independent of hemodynamic values.
NCT04995536
This phase I trial identifies the best dose and side effects of CpG-STAT3 siRNA CAS3/SS3 (CAS3/SS3) in combination with localized radiation therapy in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). CAS3/SS3 simultaneously targets two molecules, TLR9 receptor and STAT3. This investigational drug combines a CpG oligonucleotide and an siRNA in one molecule that act together to interfere with the ability of the cancer cells to grow. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving CAS3/SS3 with localized radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells.
NCT03451500
From 3 large patient databases, patients diagnosed with AMD who have never taken levodopa(L-DOPA) containing medications have a mean age of diagnosis at 71 years. Patients who have been treated with L-DOPA containing medications have a mean age of diagnosis of AMD at 79 years. L-DOPA binds to GPR143 in the retinal pigment epithelium, and releases PEDF, which protects the retina and downregulates VEGF, which is the cause of neovascularization. The Investigators will evaluate the safety and tolerability of carbidopa-levodopa in patients with Neovascular AMD, and measure the effects on visual acuity and retinal abnormalities due to "wet" (neovascular) AMD. The Investigators will evaluate the safety and tolerability of carbidopa-levodopa in patients with Dry AMD and Geographic Atrophy, and measure the effects on visual acuity, area of geographic atrophy and other retinal abnormalities due to "dry" AMD.

NCT06016647
The percentage of loss time claims receiving Loss of Earnings benefits at 3 months has continued to rise amongst injured workers in Ontario despite the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) approach of "Better at Work". The primary health services to address loss time claims associated with musculoskeletal injuries include the evidenced-based programs of care, occupational health assessment program and musculoskeletal specialty programs, however, these are set to be revised and relaunched in Q1 2023. Across treatment protocols there are challenges that, at least in part, appear to contribute to the increasing percentage of workers on full loss of earnings at 3 months include (1) inconsistent early identification of workers who should be triaged to various health services and (2) reliable determination of the optimal timing of referral to the most targeted care to enable a safe and sustainable return to work. The investigators aim to develop and evaluate a predictive assessment model to triage workers to the best service within the first 8 weeks of their claim to increase the rate of early return to work, with the long-term goal that the triage protocol becomes part of a person-centric protocol that reduces the duration of work-related disability. The investigators will develop and evaluate an assessment protocol for injured workers that enter any of the musculoskeletal-specific WSIB programs of care, which have been consolidated into a single program as of 2023. This study will be a prospective inception cohort design using data collected from injured workers receiving WSIB musculoskeletal programs of care services at CBI Health clinics in Ontario Canada. Worker data will be collected at intake to the program of care service and again approximately four and eight weeks after intake (or earlier if a worker completes the program of care). The investigators will complete data analysis in three steps including descriptive and bivariate associations, Maximum Likelihood-based Latent Profile Analysis, and evaluation of results against successful work outcomes and secondary outcomes. Qualitative data will be mined for alternative indicators of recovery / non-recovery. The study recruitment goal is 300 - 350 workers with complete follow-up within a 2-year period.
