The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of elastic chest compression on functional exercise capacity and respiratory performance of patients with COPD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there difference in functional exercise capacity and respiratory performance without or with the use of …
Optimizing Patient-centred Outcomes Using Opioid Minimization Strategies: The OPUS Anesthesia Pilot Trial
Up to 40% of patients experience suboptimal recovery in the days following major surgery, limiting their return to functional independence. Few preventive interventions exist, but intravenous dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during general anesthesia represent simple strategies that may significantly impact recovery and other patient-centred outcomes after surgery. The goal of …
Trauma-Informed Motivational Interviewing in Rural Dwelling Samples
Leprosy remains a profoundly stigmatized condition in many rural communities worldwide, fostering social exclusion, body image dissatisfaction, and diminished mental health outcomes. TTrauma-Informed Motivational Interviewing (TIMI) emerges as a promising paradigm to address these psychosocial challenges, enhancing resilience, improving self-perception, and fostering social re-engagement.
Early TIPS in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis and Ascites
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) implantation with standard treatment (diuretic medications, and if necessary, paracenteses) in patients with liver cirrhosis and development of ascites as the first decompensating event. By creating a shunt between the liver …

Hysterectomies are performed via 3 routes: laparotomy, laparoscopy or vaginal route. This choice of approach is particularly important in the case of large uteri (50% of uteri …
Physiological Effect High-flow Tracheal Oxygen on Viscosity of Airway Mucus and Respiratory Effort in Patients Weaning from Invasive Mechanical Ventilation
Rationale: Tracheostomized patients weaning from mechanical ventilation are at risk for dryness of airway mucosa and sputum accumulation during disconnection from mechanical ventilation. High-flow tracheal oxygen (HFTO) is being used as supportive therapy during disconnection sessions in tracheostomized patients weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) to limit dryness while maintaining …
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Inoperable Non-metastasized Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
This is a multicenter randomized phase II trial that aims to include 160 patients with a non-metastatic (localized), inoperable pancreatic tumor. The study will take place at multiple centers across Europe. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate superiority in progression free survival (PFS) by adding stereotactic body …
