This study looks at whether placing a temporary balloon in the stomach, along with diet and exercise, can improve asthma control in obese adults whose asthma is not well managed by standard medications. About 84 participants will be randomly assigned to get the balloon plus lifes…

This study is testing whether changing the timing of a common fertility treatment might help more people have babies. Researchers want to see if performing intrauterine insemination (IUI) 42 hours after an ovulation trigger shot works better than the standard 36-hour timing. They…

This study aims to improve how doctors tell if a small lung nodule is cancer or not. Researchers will collect fluid left over from a standard biopsy and analyze its DNA for cancer markers. The goal is to see if this DNA test can catch cancers that the usual microscope exam might …

This study looks at whether using a quick bedside ultrasound of the lungs and heart can help emergency doctors choose the right treatment for older adults (over 65) who come to the ER with sudden breathing trouble. About 504 participants will be enrolled. The goal is to see if th…

This study aims to see if measuring a substance called D-lactate in spinal fluid can help doctors diagnose meningitis more accurately in patients who have a brain drain (ventriculostomy). The researchers will compare D-lactate levels with standard tests in 185 adults suspected of…

This study tests whether an intensive two-week rhythmic dance program can improve motor, cognitive, and psychosocial learning in children with cerebral palsy. Six children aged 6 to 17 will participate, with personalized goals set for each child. The program involves daily dance …

This study tests whether a steroid injection into the wall of the meniscus, guided by ultrasound, can quickly relieve knee pain caused by a degenerative meniscus tear. About 152 adults with persistent knee pain will receive either the steroid or a placebo injection. The main goal…

This study aims to understand why lymphedema happens by comparing gene activity in swollen and healthy limbs. Researchers will enroll 60 adults with primary or secondary lymphedema after breast cancer treatment. They will use advanced gene sequencing to find differences, which ma…

This study looks at whether a steady beat (rhythm) helps children with cerebral palsy or coordination disorders learn dance moves better. About 68 children aged 8 to 16 will take part, including those with and without motor issues. Researchers will compare how well they remember …

This study looks at healthy adults aged 60 and older to see if brain MRI scans and eye-tracking tests can predict whether thinking skills stay sharp or decline over time. Researchers will measure a small brain area called the locus coeruleus, which is linked to memory and attenti…

This study is collecting tumor, blood, urine, and stool samples from 1000 adults with suspected or confirmed bladder cancer. The samples will be stored for future research to better understand the disease. No treatment or direct benefit is offered to participants.

This study aims to understand the genetic causes of eye malformations by growing tiny, eye-like structures in a lab dish. Researchers will take skin or blood cells from 20 patients with eye abnormalities and turn them into stem cells, then coax them to form optic vesicle organoid…

This study looks at how sleeping at high altitude (2,877 meters) affects the sleep quality of 32 employees at Pic du Midi. Researchers will compare nights spent at home versus nights spent at the summit using sleep monitoring. The goal is to better understand sleep changes in peo…

This study talks to children who had Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) two to five years ago to understand how they remember the illness and how they feel now. GBS is a rare nerve condition that can cause temporary paralysis, and while most kids recover physically, some still face ti…

This study looks at whether measuring fast-ripples (very fast brain waves) during epilepsy testing can help surgeons decide where to operate. About 440 adults with drug-resistant epilepsy will take part. Half will have special electrodes that detect fast-ripples; the other half w…

This study collects blood samples from 1,500 adults at risk for heart disease to discover new biomarkers that can predict future heart attacks, strokes, or leg artery disease. Participants are patients at a prevention center in France, either with or without a prior history of ca…

This study looks at a common problem after bowel surgery called postoperative ileus, where the bowel temporarily stops working. Researchers want to see if a scoring system called IFEED can better define this condition and predict how long patients stay in the hospital. About 161 …

This study aims to create a large collection of blood and tissue samples from people with autoimmune diseases like lupus and scleroderma. Researchers will use these samples to learn more about how these diseases work, identify markers for diagnosis, and discover clues for future …

This study aims to build a collection of blood and spinal fluid samples from people with rare autoimmune neurological diseases. Researchers will use these samples to try to discover new markers for diagnosis and to better understand how these diseases work. The goal is to help de…
