Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the visual performance of enhanced monofocal and extended depth-of-field intraocular lenses

Background and Rationale: Surgical correction of Hallux Valgus via Scarf and P1 osteotomy aims to realign the first ray, modifying overall forefoot morphology. While radiological correction is well established, a discrepancy often exists between objective foot measurements and p…

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI)-supported, context-aware digital nudging intervention designed to reduce ultra-processed food consumption and improve dietary sustainability among adolescents and young adults. The intervention utili…

This pilot, exploratory qualitative, descriptive study will examine whether standard postpartum discharge education, a free home blood pressure cuff, and an "At-Risk Postpartum" bracelet support self-management among postpartum patients newly diagnosed with preeclampsia or gestat…

Astigmatism is a common cause of continued dependence on glasses after cataract surgery and may lead to patient dissatisfaction with surgical outcomes. As the corneal curvature is the main source for astigmatism after cataract surgery, our aim is to investigate whether postoperat…

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are generally slow growing, but some can be aggressive and resistant to treatment. Compared to healthy cells, the surface of these tumor cells has a greater number of molecules called somatostatin receptors (SSTR) which requires specific PET scan tra…

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients have an increased risk of ColoRectal Cancer (CRC). The cumulative risk of CRC development is estimated at 1% after 10 years of disease progression, 2% after 20 years, and 5% after more than 20 years of disease progression (1). The inciden…

The purpose of the study is to compare 2 primary care based telehealth interventions- 1) digital health coaching and 2) remote patient monitoring for improving glycemic (blood sugar levels) control and overall health outcomes in individuals with physical disabilities, type 2 diab…

This research study is being done to find out whether a community health volunteer-delivered, multi-component program can improve lung health for people at risk of chronic respiratory diseases (such as asthma or COPD) in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The program focuses on reducing tobacco s…

The HYPNO-AJA 2 study is a prospective single-center interventional clinical trial conducted at the Institut Bergonié to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnosis in reducing anxiety and chemotherapy-related symptoms in adolescents, young adults (AYAs), and young women undergoing ca…

Stereotactic radiotherapy enables bone metastases to be treated with highly precise irradiation beams, enabling small targets to be irradiated. Planning requires the use of cross-sectional imaging such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bone scintigr…

Before birth, the foramen ovale is a normal opening in the heart that allows blood to flow from the mother to the baby. After birth, this opening usually closes. However, in up to 38% of the population it does not fully close and is then called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Havin…

This is a proof-of-concept study to investigate whether antibodies (guselkumab and adalimumab) delivered directly to the colon can enter the systemic circulation. The study endpoints chosen for this study are commonly used for evaluating the safety, tolerability, and PK of single…

This pilot randomized controlled trial will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of a home-based, technology-enabled hand telerehabilitation program for adults with chronic stroke. Participants will receive either remotely guided hand training or a standard home exerc…

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are associated with diverse cognitive profiles, including creative abilities that remain poorly documented. Studying creative processes in children helps to deepen our understanding of cognitive and developmental functioning in NDDs and to expl…

Background: Obesity and related illnesses cause at least 2.8 million deaths each year worldwide. Few treatments exist for obesity that are safe and widely available. A study drug (mirabegron \[MG\]) combined with a supplement (alpha-lipoic acid \[ALA\]) may help. Objective: To…

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the time efficiency and practical usability of three non-invasive skin imaging tools in adults (18 years and older) with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common type of skin cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: …

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is the liquid that fills the space around the brain and spinal cord. Researchers do not fully understand how CSF flows and drains around the brain. They want to test a tracer (gadobutrol)-a special dye injected into the CSF-to find out if it…

ECUM-RUN is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial evaluating whether a 30-day oral supplementation with curcumin, ginger, and piperine (9-5-1 formulation) reduces exercise-induced joint pain and inflammatory markers in 82 ultra-trail runners competing in th…
