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.
Hamam is a common spa treatment. During a Hamam, some of the outermost layer of the skin is removed. The investigators believe that partly removing a protective skin layer might increase the risk of sun burn, especially for skin that has not been exposed to sun for a long time. The aim with this study is to assess if Hamam-treated skin is more susceptible to sun burn compared with untreated skin.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ixekizumab versus adalimumab in participants with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who are biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) naive.
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2 DM) have a markedly increased risk of heart disease and it is estimated that, in the danish population, up 80% percent of patients with type 2 diabetes die from heart disease. The sodium glucose cotransport-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors were developed as an anti-diabetic therapy reducing blood glucose and weight by decreasing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to glucose excretion via the urine. However, in 2015 the EMPA-REG study showed that treatment with the SGLT-2 inhibitor empagliflozin significantly reduced the cardiovascular mortality and risk of admission under the diagnosis of heart failure in a population of patients with type 2 diabetes in addition to other risk factors for heart disease. The mechanism behind this surprising result is unknown and warrants further study. The primary hypothesis of the present study is that treatment with empagliflozin improves the function and blood supply of the heart muscle cells in patients with type 2 diabetes and high risk of heart disease. The investigators will test this hypothesis by enrolling 92 participants with type 2 diabetes and other risk factors for heart disease, and treating them with either empagliflozin or a placebo. During the study period the investigators will monitor the effects of the treatment with various techniques such as heart scans using CT and ultrasound, measurements of the fluid pressures in the heart chambers, body composition measurements and a variety of relevant blood test.
Twenty-one patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes with diabetic complications will be recruited to Part 1 of the study, a three-hour combined hyper- and hypoglycaemic clamp, along with a control group of twenty-one individuals with normal glucose tolerance matched for age, gender, and body mass index. Patients with type 2 diabetes will be scheduled for a three-week run-in period with LR and CGM prior to participation in Part 1. Only patients with a well-functioning loop-recorder and who can comply with CGM will be included. Patients with type 2 diabetes will continue in part 2 of the study, a one year observational study employing CGM and LR and clinical examination after 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and an extended observation period of 2 years employing LR and clinical examination.
32 runners will be randomized into two groups. The duration of the intervention is one week including a strenuous endurance training program. Group 1 receive a protein beverage before each night sleep and Group 2 receive an isocaloric carbohydrate beverage. Performance test before and after the intervention and blood sampling before and during the intervention to check for markers for muscle damage.
The investigators will analyze biomarkers related to the prognosis and treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). The focus will be on whether certain endothelial and immune system biomarkers can function as markers of disease severity, mortality as well as the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Biomarkers will be measured upon admission to an intensive care unit at Copenhagen University Hospital and during the following 3 days.
The purpose of this study is to compare the current standard whole-body x-ray with the advanced imaging techniques FDG-PET-CT, NaF-PET-CT and whole-body MRI in the detection of myeloma bone lesions.
In this study we wish to investigate the analgesic effect of the administration of 0.2% ropivacaine for an adductor canal block as repeated boluses (20 ml every 8 hours) through a new suture-method catheter or a standard perineural catheter compared with a single bolus (20 ml), in patients following primary total knee arthroplasty.
The aim of this study is to explore the microRNA profile in serum of women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and investigate the correlation between the microRNA profile and markers of metabolic syndrome.
Patients with low back pain and coexisting psychosocial risk factors have a poorer prognosis in terms of quality of life, disability, sick leave and health care use. Despite existing literature showing that low back pain patients benefit from cognitive therapy interventions, this has not been investigated in subgroups of low back pain patients with psychosocial risk factors. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether patients referred to secondary care with low back pain and coexisting psychosocial risk factors will have a better treatment outcome when participating in a pain management course in addition to usual care. This will be investigated in a randomised study design, where 130 patients with chronic low back pain and psychosocial risk factors will be randomly allocated to either usual care or a cognitive-therapy based pain management intervention in addition to usual care. The patients will be followed for one year after inclusion, and patientreported outcomes on disability, pain, sick leave, quality of life and pain coping will be collected by the use of questionnaires at baseline, 6 months and 12 months.
