There are about 11304 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Denmark. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) accounts for 70-90% of all diagnosed traumatic brain injuries (TBI) affecting approximately 50-300 per 100.000 individuals annually. Persistent post-concussion symptoms are reported in 15-80% of hospital admitted and outpatient treated populations, affecting labour market attachment, academic achievement, income, socio-economic status, social interactions, home management, leisure activities and cohabitation status. The association between mTBI and long-term trends in cohabitation status, income, academic achievement and socio-economic status has not been thoroughly explored. Previous studies focus on children's academic performance after severe TBI and only few studies include early adulthood and patients with mTBI. Trends in divorce rates are frequently conducted on severe injuries or populations consisting of veterans. Additionally, all studies have failed to apply a national register based design. Aim The aim of the study is to examine the long-term associations between mTBI and trends in cohabitation status, academic achievement and socio-economic status between pre-injury rates and observed rates at 5 years post-injury. The hypothesis was that by 5 years mTBI would be associated with increased odds of marital breakdown, decreasing academic achievement, decreasing income, decreasing socio-economic status compared to the general population in Denmark. Methods: The study is a national register based cohort study with 5 years follow-up of patients with mild traumatic brain injury from 2008 - 2012 in Denmark. Population: Patients between 18-60 years diagnosed with concussion (ICD-10 S06.0) were extracted from the Danish National Patient Register between (2003-2007). Patients with major neurological injuries and previous concussions at the index date and 5 years before the index date (1998-2007) were excluded. Patients who were not resident in Denmark 5 years before and during the inclusion period were also excluded (1998-2007). Data will be retrieved from several national databases, including: the Danish national patient register, Danish Civil Registration System (CRS), the Danish Education Registers, the Income Statistics Register and the Employment Classification Module (AKM). One control of the general population were matched for each case on sex, age and municipality. Outcome measures are: Cohabitation status, Education, income and socio-economic status.
The study will evaluate the benefitial and harmful effects of short-term (20 weeks) compared to long-term (14 months) mentalization-based therapy for outpatients with subthreshold or diagnosed borderline personality disorder.
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder for patients with depression. This has a major impact on the quality of life for the individual. The aim is to investigate, whether music intervention is effective in 1. improving sleep quality, 2. reducing symptoms of depression and 3. improving quality of life Participants use a sound pillow and selected music in the The Music Star app at home as a sleep aid in 4 weeks.
Background and purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of one acute exercise bout on tumor hypoxia in patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy. The primary hypothesis is that exercise reduces tumor hypoxia and that the reduction is greater in patients performing one acute high intensity exercise bout compared to no training controls. The investigators have not been able to identify any prior or current randomized trials investigating exercise and tumor hypoxia, and believe that such research is warranted and would be of great importance. Moreover there is a need for studies including biological measurements to allow a full assessment of the effect of exercise on diverse biomarkers and mechanistic pathways, which may influence cancer survival. Subjects: Patients with histologically verified prostate adenocarcinoma scheduled for radical prostatectomy at Urologic Department, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark. Methods: In this randomized controlled pilot study 30 patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy will be included and randomized 2:1 to either one single acute High Intensity Interval Training bout or usual care and no training the day prior to radical prostatectomy. All patients will undergo assessment at inclusion (baseline) and the day prior to surgery. Assessment includes: anthropometrics; blood pressure; resting hearth rate; hip and waist circumference, ECG, quality of life by self-report questionnaires; fasting blood sample measuring PSA (prostate specific antigen), cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, c-peptide, HbA1c, glucose and inflammatory markers. All patients will receive one dose of pimonidazole hydrochloride (500 mg per m2 body surface) in order to quantify tumor hypoxia by pathological analyses after removal of the prostate. Biological tissue from tumor (primary prostate biopsies) will also be retrieved from the respective local pathological departments and from the perioperative prostate specimen and sent to protocol analyses.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate if improvements in patient self-reported pain, symptoms, function and quality of life 12 months after Lumbar spinal fusion among patients that have good projected prognosis differ from those among patients with a poor projected prognosis. The secondary purpose is to explore the underlying factors of the physiotherapists projected prognosis to identify objective and possible modifiable candidate prognostic factors for recovery.
This study will investigate a new method to assess tissue perfusion during surgery for esophageal cancer. When a tumor in the distal esophagus is removed, the ends of the esophagus and the stomach must be reconnected by an anastomosis. An optimal perfusion is essential to ensure a good healing of the anastomosis. If anastomotic leakage occurs, it may prolong hospital stay, increase the risk of serious complications and death, delay start-up of chemotherapy and worsen the long-term survival prognosis. During the operation the blood supply to the ends of the esophagus and stomach will be assessed in different ways; The traditional where the surgeon looks and feels on the tissue, and newer methods with an indocyanine green and cameras that illuminate the tissue with near-infrared light. The surgeon will assess whether these methods change the decision on where the ends should be sewn together.
The reason for this study is to see how effective and safe the study drug known as lasmiditan is in the acute treatment of 4 migraine attacks with or without aura.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicenter Phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, quality of life and impact on normal daily activities of ARGX-113 in patients with gMG.
Following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) decreased hip muscle strength for adduction, extension, flexion, and external rotation including impaired functional performance have been observed. However, no studies are lacking on more demanding muscular and functional parameters such as hip muscle rate of force development and reactive strength index. Information on such muscular properties following hip arthroscopy for FAIS may help guide future planning of post-operative rehabilitation strategies. This is a cross-sectional study with an embedded prospective non-randomized study. The aim of the cross-sectional study is to investigate hip muscle function and functional performance in patients who have undergone hip arthroscopy for FAIS during the preceding 6-30 months. The aim of the prospective non-randomized study is to investigate the effect of a 12-week structured and supervised physiotherapy-led intervention aiming at improving hip muscular function on self-reported hip and groin function including hip muscle function and functional performance. Forty-five subjects from the Capital Region with an age of 18-40, who have undergone a hip arthroscopy for FAIS during the last 6-30 months, will be included in the cross-sectional study. Additionally, all included subjects will be offered to take part in the prospective non-randomized study consisting of 12 weeks of supervised and structured physiotherapy-led treatment. The below measures will be obtained at baseline, and at 12-weeks follow-up if subjects are included in the prospective study. All testing, and supervised physiotherapy-led treatment, will be performed at Hvidovre Hospital: 1. Hip muscle function 2. Single leg jump performance 3. Self-reported hip and groin function 4. Evaluation of return to sport 5. Evaluation of satisfaction regarding usual-care post-operative rehabilitation
