NCT ID: NCT04056078 Recruiting - Shoulder Pain Clinical Trials

Nordic Throwing Shoulder Project (NTS - Project)

Start date: February 24, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

As a part of the Olympic program and with 150 countries in the international Handball Federation team handball has become a worldwide popular sport. Unfortunately, a large number of different types injuries have been reported among team handball players, and shoulder pain has some of the biggest incidence. In handball 44-75% of the athletes had a history of shoulder pain and a weekly prevalence of shoulder problems in 28% of the athletes. Shoulder pain has been reported to have an impact on the athletes' training activities, performance, and daily life. Several studies have established risk factors for shoulder injuries among overhead athletes, with a focus on the range of motion in glenohumeral joint (ROM), shoulder strength and scapula control. Injury occurrence results from a combination of possessing these different risk and the amount of throwing. Thereby training overhead sports must be considered a primary risk factor for shoulder injury. However, several studies have performed kinematics analysis of different throws techniques commonly used in team handball. But no studies havn't investigated kinematics and kinetics of different throwing techniques in relation to team handball players and the development of shoulder pain, and if a throwing technique or a wrong throwing technique stresses the shoulder joint more than other throwing techniques. In baseball it was found that youth pitchers throwing with a curveball was associated with a 52% increased risk of shoulder pain and the slider was associated with an 86% increased risk of elbow pain, and there was a significant association between number of throws and rate of shoulder pain. Two types of wind-ups are used in handball, and those different wind-ups also changed the throwing kinematics and throwing performance. Investigators found that the pelvis rotation was more important in the throw with the circular wind-up than in the whip-like wind up. In addition, the total throwing time was longer with the circular wind up. This could result in less stress and forces on the shoulder joint when compared with the whip like to reach the same performances. The questions arises whether the used throwing techniques of the handball players during training and matches are a risk factor for shoulder pain and if some throwing techniques cause bigger risk than other throwing techniques as the players could put more force on the shoulder and elbow joint.

NCT ID: NCT04054024 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Efficacy and Tolerability of Erenumab in Patients With Trigeminal Neuralgia

Start date: October 28, 2019
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

A placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized proof-of-concept study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the CGRP receptor antibody erenumab in treating pain experienced by subjects with TN.

NCT ID: NCT04052243 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Hemodynamic Effects of BPA at Rest and During Exercise in CTEPH

EXPERT-BPA
Start date: January 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by obstruction of the pulmonary vasculature by residual organized thrombi, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), progressive pulmonary hypertension, and right heart failure. Medical therapy and balloon angioplasty (BPA) are effective treatment alternatives in lowering pulmonary pressures and increasing pulmonary flow. The aim of this study is to assess the hemodynamic effects of BPA or medical therapy on the pressure-flow relationship in the pulmonary vasculature and the pulmonary vascular compliance.

NCT ID: NCT04050306 Recruiting - Dental Caries Clinical Trials

DIMOH: New Digital Methods for Monitoring Oral Health. An in Vivo Assessment

Start date: March 27, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The objectives of this study are i) to monitor the oral health of young people over a period of one year and ii) to assess the ability of a new intraoral scanner combining fluorescence with 3D imaging to detect and monitor changes in the dental hard tissues in vivo. The working hypotheses of this study are that i) the monitoring of oral health will benefit from using a new intraoral scanner combining fluorescence with 3D imaging and ii) the new intraoral scanner combining fluorescence with 3D imaging will aid dentists to identify changes in the dental hard tissues at earlier stages than the traditional diagnostic methods (i.e. visual-tactile, radiographic methods).

NCT ID: NCT04049357 Recruiting - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Care for Colon 2015

CFC2015
Start date: April 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigatior believe that implementing camera capsule endoscopy as a filter test to colonoscopy will increase screening participation, increase the number of individuals with detected intermediate- high risk adenomas or cancer, reduce the colonoscopy demand and reduce the number of complications.

NCT ID: NCT04048993 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Integrative Human Physiology

Registry-based Biobank Development and Integrative Physiological Analysis

Start date: September 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The purpose is to develop a registry-based biobank for integrative physiological analysis based on biological samples (blood, urine, interstitial fluid and muscle) from subjects enrolled in the Section registry, using multivariate and data-mining approaches that includes also clinical and demographic parameters

NCT ID: NCT04043494 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, Childhood

International Cooperative Treatment Protocol for Children and Adolescents With Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

LBL 2018
Start date: August 23, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Primary objectives: - Randomization R1, all patients eligible: To examine, whether the cumulative incidence of relapses with involvement of the CNS (CNS relapse, pCICR) can be decreased by a modified induction therapy including dexamethasone (experimental arm) instead of prednisone (standard arm) - Randomization R2, only patients with high risk LBL eligible: to examine, whether the probability of event-free survival (pEFS) in these patients can be improved by receiving an intensified treatment arm versus a standard treatment arm (as used in the EURO-LB 02)

NCT ID: NCT04032379 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Benign Intracranial Hypertension

Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Start date: February 14, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition of unknown etiology, primarily affecting overweight females of childbearing age. Typically, patients experience headache and visual symptoms due to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and papilledema. The diagnosis is difficult, and outcomes vary from no sequelae to blindness or chronic headaches. No clear prognostic indicators exist. Treatment consists of medication, weight loss, and possibly surgical intervention.There is an unmet need of defining biomarkers with prognostic or diagnostic value and defining predictors of a poor outcome. This project is a prospective, population-based cohort study including clinical data and a biobank (blood samples and cerebrospinal fluid). The investigator's primary aim is to identify biomarkers of diagnostic or prognostic value and to create a clinical IIH database. The clinical database will answer questions about patient characteristics at baseline and during follow-up, identify predictors of outcome, and help create a standardized programme for follow-up and
