Neuromuscular Diseases (NMDs) affect \> 7 million people worldwide. NMDs are often difficult to accurately diagnose, with over 200 different genetic causes with overlapping clinical presentations. Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Muscle MRI) allows for non-invasive, comprehensi…

Background: Brain activity produces magnetic fields. These fields can be measured outside the head. Existing technology, called MEG, measures these fields. Researchers are testing a new type of magnetic field sensor called OPM. They hope it can help pinpoint with very high accur…

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign, pseudotumoral, genetic but non-hereditary condition characterized by the presence of one or more areas of abnormal bone development in which the normal structure is replaced by fibrous tissue. It is an extremely heterogeneous condition, as it can be…

The main hypothesis of the study is that in situ infiltration of the meniscal lesion would provide patients with lasting and greater relief than intra-articular infiltration. A statistically significant difference would be if the Lysholm score of the meniscal wall group at 3 mont…

This clinical trial explores and implements methods to improve informed decision making (IDM) regarding precision oncology tests amongst veterans with prostate cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (adv…

Nonrandomized controlled trial to assess whether or not sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) affect social experiences and biomarkers of well-being 6 weeks and 1 year after surgery. The decision whether SG or RYGB will be performed is determined by medical d…

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of liver conditions associated with fat accumulation that ranges from benign, non-progressive liver fat accumulation to severe liver injury, cirrhosis, and liver failure. The spectrum of NAFLD encompasses simple nonalcoholic …

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a supervised aerobic exercise program for persons with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Participants will be enrolled in a 12-week supervised aerobic exercise intervention.

To compare the symptoms of patients who have a MIPG to the symptoms of patients who have a MITG.

This is a randomized, cross-over study to measure global and clinical impact and level of arousal in subjects suffering from moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease when exposed to emotionally impactful music compared to control intervention.

Wilson's disease is a rare genetic disease, affecting less than 1,500 people in France. The transmission is autosomal recessive linked to an anomaly of the ATP7B gene on chromosome.This gene codes for an ATPase-type transmembrane protein involved in the transport of copper throug…

The goal of the study is to look at the relationship between how individuals with Sarcoidosis take the sarcoidosis medicines and how it affects the disease, to evaluate any factors that may make individuals not want to take the medicines, and to develop and refine ways to help su…

This study is focused on characterizing the toxic and carcinogenic potential of the Standardized Research E-cigarette (SREC) developed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. In the environment of continuously changing e-cigarette market, SREC was developed as a model e-cigarett…

Periodontal diseases and dental pathologies are highly prevalent oral diseases. Thirty-three to fifty percent of adult population presented at least one untreated caries and more than 50% of French population are affected by severe periodontitis. These diseases affect dental orga…

The goal of this observational study, conducted in participants' homes and requiring no travel to a study site, is to better understand disease variability in people with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and to identify effective ways to measure symptoms. Myotonic dystrophy is on…

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) increases gastrointestinal motility, which influences feelings of fullness and satiety. By understanding the differences in gastric emptying (GE) between patients with sufficient weight loss (Total weight loss \[TWL\] \> 35%) and insufficient weight loss (…

This study investigates whether caloric vestibular stimulation can modulate a measure of insight in obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders.

With so many therapeutic options available (i.e.: biologic therapy, liver directed therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy), the purpose of this project is to partner with patients on comparative effectiveness research (CER) to achieve the goal of alleviating undue toxicity, and o…

Currently, there are no approved medications for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced dermatitis, or skin discoloration/burning due to radiation therapy, because there is little evidence to guide treatment. The purpose of the research is to better understand the fac…

The project will be pursued in our respiratory, autonomic nervous system physiology laboratory (Respiratory, autonomic nervous system physiology laboratory, Department of Pneumology and Intensive Care Medicine, RWTH Aachen University Hospital; Head of Department: Professor Michae…
