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.
The purpose of this human experimental study is to evaluate the pattern of itch intensity over time in response to strong, short-term heat stimulation in two different models of histamine and cowhage-induced itch. Moreover, the purpose is to evaluate the effect of mild pre-heating of the skin in human experimental models of histamine, cowhage and serotonin. Finally, we want to investigate the effect of short-term intense heat stimulation on previously anesthetized skin.
The purpose of this research project is to determine whether or not the directional movement of spermatozoa is influenced by a pH gradient by examining spermatozoa in vitro.
The researchers are doing the study to see if semaglutide may reduce the risk of having cardiovascular events in patients with overweight or obesity and with prior cardiovascular disease. The participant will either get semaglutide (active medicine) or placebo ("dummy" medicine). Which treatment the participants get is decided by chance. The participant's chance of getting semaglutide or placebo is the same. The participant will get the study medicine in a pen. The participants will need to use the pen to inject the study medicine in a skinfold once a week. The study will last for about 2.5 to 5 years. Participants will have up to 25 clinic visits with the study doctor.
We will investigate effects of gut hormones on bone remodeling.
Effects of GLP-2 and GIP on bone remodeling in healthy young men.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how pretreatment with a topical medication for acne affects application and delivery of gold microparticles to the skin in acne patients. In addition, the investigators want to investigate the biodistribution of gold microparticles in pretreated skin and compare this with the biodistribution of untreated skin using the non-invasive imaging techniques optical coherence tomography and reflectance confocal microscopy
Patients with kidney cancer often undergo hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy or Robot assisted partiel nephrectomy. The investigators performed a one-year retrospective study. the sudy revealed that 67% of the patients needed substantial amounts of opioids for postoperative pain management (PPM) in recovery despite a multimodal analgesic regime. In a prospective pilot study including ten laparoscopic hand-assisted nephrectomy, with severe postoperative pain the investigators found that bilateral Ultrasound-guided (USG) transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) block substantially reduced pain and opioid consumption. This study aims to evaluate the effect on PPM of a bilateral USG TQL block compared to placebo.
Several studies show how patients with hyperoxia after cardiac arrest has increased mortality, but the association of hyperoxia before cardiac arrest and myocardial damage has never been investigated. Neither has the association between hyperoxia after cardiac arrest and myocardial injury. Our research hypothesis is that hyperoxia before cardiac arrest aggravates myocardial damage, secondly we wish to analyze the association between hyperoxia after cardiac arrest and myocardial injury. The exposure variables is oxygenation within 48 hours before and 48 hours after cardiac arrest, our primary outcome is myocardial damage and will be measured as peak troponin within 30 days after cardiac arrest.
Every year 350 patients undergo surgery due to colorectal cancer at Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde. The majority of the surgeries are performed using a minimal invasive laparoscopic technique where the bowl anastomosis is either hand sown or stapled. The procedure is performed, while the patient is under general anaesthesia. An observational prospective survey from 2016-17 of sixty patients undergoing hemicolectomy at Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde has shown, that even though the patients are subjected to a multimodal analgesic regimen, a substantial amount of opioids are being administered during the first 24 hours post surgery; i.e. 51.91 mg ± 36.22 mg (Mean ± SD) of oral morphine equivalents. Sixty-five percent of the patients receive opioids at the PACU. Their maximum pain score at the PACU is registered, using a numerical rating scale of 0-10, as 3.28 ± 2.65 (Mean ± SD). So it is obvious that there is room for improvement and a reduction in the use of postoperative opioids. Thus, there is a clearly defined research problem to explore. Currently ultrasound-guided nerveblocks are not part of the multimodal analgesic regimen. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of the ultrasound-guided bilateral transmuscular quadratus lumborum block on reducing postoperative opioid consumption.
A prospective clinical, uncontrolled, open-label, explorative phase 2a trial on patients with histologically-confirmed superficial and nodular basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The study assesses tolerability and tumor clearance after laser-assisted topical delivery of topical ingenol mebutate.
