This study is testing whether a specialized care program helps people with obesity feel more confident in managing their health. About 133 adults with obesity will follow a 6-month program focused on education and support. Researchers will measure changes in participants' self-co…

This study is testing if a brief, controlled increase in breathing machine pressure right after clearing a patient's breathing tube helps keep their lungs properly inflated. Researchers will compare this technique to standard suctioning alone in 32 sedated ICU patients on ventila…

This study is testing if a simple procedure using a blood pressure cuff on the leg can help protect the brain in people who survive a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The cuff is inflated and deflated in cycles to potentially reduce damage caused when blood flow returns to th…

This study is testing a new targeted cancer drug called repotrectinib specifically in frail or elderly patients with advanced lung cancer driven by a specific gene change (ROS1). The goal is to see if the drug is effective and tolerable for this vulnerable group, who are often le…

This study is testing a new system called 'med@psy' that helps general doctors quickly connect their adult patients with a psychiatrist for a consultation within 48 hours. Researchers want to see if getting this fast-tracked care leads to better ongoing treatment compared to pati…

This study aims to find out if a simple, non-invasive breathing test called anterior active rhinomanometry (AAR) can reliably confirm when surgery is the right choice for adults with chronic nasal obstruction. Researchers will enroll 200 patients already scheduled for surgery to …

This study is testing a new prevention strategy for people who go to the emergency room with chest pain but are not having a heart attack. Researchers want to see if using a special heart scan (calcium score) and a follow-up PET scan can find unstable plaque in the arteries, whic…

This study compares two methods used during ACL knee reconstruction surgery. One group will have surgery using the standard thigh tourniquet, while the other will use a newer device called a dual-flow arthroscopy sheath. Researchers want to see if the newer method leads to less p…

This study compares two common injection treatments for painful knee arthritis. Researchers want to see if platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections work better than hyaluronic acid (HA) gel injections at reducing pain and improving knee function. The study will follow 150 adults wit…

This study is testing whether custom-made, lightweight cutlery handles, created using 3D printing, can help hospitalized patients with neurodegenerative diseases eat more food on their own. Researchers will enroll 75 patients to see if these personalized handles improve their abi…

This study is testing whether exercising your healthy arm can help maintain strength and muscle in your immobilized arm after shoulder surgery. Researchers will compare two types of exercises (eccentric and concentric) against standard rehabilitation care. The goal is to see if t…

This study aims to find out how common obstructive sleep apnea is in people who have peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries). Researchers will observe about 295 adults with artery disease, using a simple sleep test to check for apnea. The goal is to gather information a…

This study aims to understand the safety of a new, higher-volume eye injection used to treat macular diseases like age-related macular degeneration. Researchers will closely monitor eye pressure in 100 patients immediately after the injection and check for any long-term effects o…

This study aims to find out how many CT scans ordered in a hospital emergency room are truly necessary. Researchers will look back at 600 scans from 2024 to see if they followed official guidelines or actually changed how a patient was treated. The goal is to understand if scans …

This study aims to establish normal reference values for how much a healthy athlete's knee can rotate. Researchers will measure knee rotation in 482 competitive athletes with no history of knee injury using a specialized device. The goal is to create a baseline to help identify a…

This study aims to understand 'Moral Injury'—the distress healthcare workers feel when they cannot provide the care they believe is right due to system constraints. It will survey over 3,000 French healthcare professionals to identify the main causes and how this injury connects …

This study aims to use artificial intelligence (AI) to sort over 2,500 patients who have had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung) into different groups based on their health details at diagnosis. By looking back at past patients and following new ones for six months, r…

This study aims to find out if a detailed ultrasound measurement of a blood clot's size and location can help predict which patients will develop long-term leg pain and swelling (called post-thrombotic syndrome) after their first deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Researchers will follo…

This study aims to understand how often, how severe, and why injuries happen in young elite rugby players. Researchers will follow about 400 male and female players, aged roughly 13 to 18, over two full seasons. They will use the players' existing medical records to track all inj…
