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 aim of this study is to investigate if patients hospitalised for medical disease will increase their time spent out of bed during hospitalisation through simple feedback about physical activities from a mobile device. Physical activity is measured by means of a pair of accelerometers embedded in band aids placed on the thigh and on the chest. The measurement is continuous and data is uploaded to a secure internet-server. Summaries of physical activity (bedrest, sitting, standing, walking) is computed and can be displayed on a mobile device (tablet) through a dedicated application. The study will be conducted as a controlled cohort study in a large tertiary public hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark. Patients admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine will be included and will have their physical activity measured during hospitalisation. Half of the cohort will receive visual feedback about the amount of physical activity from a mobile device placed on the bed table. A total of 108 patients will be included resulting in 6 periods of 18 patients each.
DUS1 and DUS2 are descriptive drug utilisation studies in new users of aclidinium bromide in Europe. The objectives of DUS1 and DUS2 are to describe the characteristics and patterns of use of new users of aclidinium bromide (monotherapy or in combination) and new users of other medications for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); to evaluate the potential off-label use of aclidinium bromide; to describe users of aclidinium bromide in subgroups of patients for whom there is missing information in the risk management plan (RMP); and to establish a core cohort of new users of aclidinium bromide for the future evaluation of safety concerns described in the RMP. The data source for these studies will be the CRPD in the UK, the GePaRD in Germany, and national health databases in Denmark.
The study investigates the impact real output has on adhesion of new adhesives
Vitamin D deficiency is common among otherwise healthy pregnant women and may have consequences for them as well as the early development and long-term health of their children. However, the importance of maternal vitamin D status has not been widely studied. The present study is divided into a societal experiment (1) and a case-cohort study (2): 1. The present study includes an in-depth examination of the influence of exposure to vitamin D early in life and during critical periods of growth for development of type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, obesity, asthma, arthritis, cancer, mental and cognitive disorders, congenital disorders, dental caries and bone fractures during child- and adulthood. The study is based on the fact that mandatory fortification of margarine with vitamin D, which initiated in 1937, was terminated in 1985. Apart from determining the influences of exposure prior to conception and during pre- and postnatal life, the investigators examined the importance of vitamin D exposure during specific seasons and trimesters, by comparing disease incidence among individuals born before and after the fortification. 2. Additionally, a validated method was used to determine neonatal vitamin D status using stored dried blood spots (DBS) from individuals who develop the aforementioned disease entities as adults and their time and gender-matched controls. Unparalleled, the study will help determine the effects of vitamin D exposure during critical periods in life. There are a sufficient number of individuals to verify any effects during different gestation phases and seasons of the year. The results, which will change our current understanding of the significance of vitamin D, will enable new research in related fields, including interventional research designed to assess supplementation needs for different subgroups of pregnant women. Also, other health outcomes can subsequently be studied to generate multiple new interdisciplinary health research opportunities involving vitamin D.
The aim of this observational post market study is to compile real world outcome data on the use of the Conformité Européenne (CE) marked MANTA Vascular Closure Device following percutaneous cardiac or peripheral procedures for large bore (10-18F ID) interventional devices.
Physical activity is a first line treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), however, the vast majority of patients with T2D do not achieve satisfying glycemic control with physical activity alone, which is why pharmacological treatment with metformin is most often initiated. It is known that metformin and exercise both activates 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in skeletal muscle and liver, and the activation of AMPK results in many different metabolic effects, including improvements in glycemic control. Because of this similarity in mechanism of action, an interaction between metformin and exercise is plausible, but knowledge in the area is sparse. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of acute physical activity with and without concomitant metformin treatment, in order to investigate whether an interaction between the two occur. Subjects with impaired glucose tolerance will be randomized (1:1) to metformin/placebo treatment in a double-blinded way. Following a treatment run-in period of 17 days, two experimental days (one with acute exercise and one without acute exercise), separated by one week, will be performed in each subject. This registration concerns a sub-study of another study which has previously been registrered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Unique Protocol ID: H-17012307). The specific outcomes in this registration have not previously been registered.
The objective of this post market study is to examine the safety and performance of the Shockwave Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy System for the treatment of narrowed coronary arteries before the doctor places a stent.
This study aims to explore autonomic cardiovascular regulation, through measures of heart rate variability (HRV), during different passive and active activities in patients with severe acquired brain injury and a low conscious state. Data from active rehabilitation will be compared with passive periods of rest as well as nightly variance during a continuous 5-day period.
Background: Local anesthetic (LA) concentration and nerve block duration is sparsely described in a heterogenic study mass. Aim: To investigate the effect of LA concentration on peripheral nerve block duration in healthy volunteers. Methods: Randomization of 60 healthy volunteers who will receive 1 of 5 different volumes of LA (ropivacaine) using a constant dose. Primary endpoint: Sensory nerve block defined by insensitivity towards cold.
The primary aim of the trial is to determine the optimal dose of protein per meal in relation to enhancing muscle protein synthesis and thereby in perspective counteract muscle loss during weight loss. In addition, we aim to determine whether the response to protein intake is reduced in women on hypocaloric diet compared to in women on an energy-balanced diet.
