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.
A pilot study to examine efficacy and safety of intravesical botulinum toxin type A.
The purpose of this study is to compare a new method: the combination of conscious sedation with remifentanil (a shortlasting opioid drug) and local anaesthesia, with the traditional general anaesthesia for hysteroscopic surgery. The primary outcomes are: the time spent in the operation room, the time to full mobilisation postoperatively and the time to complete recovery postoperatively and the time to discharge. Secondary outcome: patient satisfaction.
There is currently not sufficient evidence that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) benefits the surgical removal of necrotic bone in osteoradionecrosis patients. This study aims at testing the hypothesis that HBO does improve healing after surgical removal of necrotic bone in irradiated previous head and neck cancer patients compared to not receiving HBO.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of a diet rich in palm olein, a fraction of palm oil, to a diet rich in olive oil and a diet rich in Danish lard on plasma total-, LDL and HDL cholesterol as well as triacylglycerol (TAG), fasting insulin and glucose, C reactive protein and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 in healthy men. The investigators hypothesis is that palm olein and olive oil will have the same effect on plasma total cholesterol, LDL- and HDL concentration and maybe also on the secondary outcome parameters that are related to cardiovascular disease risk. This may be caused by the differences in the sn-positioning of palmitic acid in palm olein. This difference may cause the palmitic acid in palm olein to be more prone to soap formations and excretion than palmitic acid from other sources, e.g. lard. This study is a double blinded, randomized, controlled 3 x 3 week crossover intervention study, without washout periods. The participants receive the three test foods in random order, decided by draw of lots. Blood samples are drawn in duplicate (on two following days) before and after each dietary period.
The investigators want to investigate whether sunscreen is removed by clothing and to what extend when the amount of sunscreen applied varies.Does clothing reduce the SPF when clothes are put on 20, 8, or 4 minutes after sunscreen application? The investigators also want to investigate the persistence of sunscreen during eight hours indoor. How much does the SPF reduces? Furthermore, we want to investigate whether sunscreen in the layers 2, 1, and 0.5 mg/cm2 reduce the vitamin D production in the skin.
To compare the effect of Crinone 8% administered once daily versus other vaginal progesterone in terms of ongoing pregnancy rate 5 weeks after embryo transfer as well as patient convenience.
The human adipose and muscle -tissue produce and release a number of bioactive proteins which contributes to the chronic low grade of inflammatory status which is associated with obesity and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Study 1: Our aim is to investigate if exercise has independent and additive effects in combination with diet-induced weight loss on circulating levels of inflammatory markers and mRNA levels in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and skeletal muscle tissue (SM. Study 2: Our aim is to investigate whether gender and weight status plays a role in the metabolic response during two hours of acute exercise
A new imaging modality combining CT and tomographic bone scintigraphy (SPECT/CT) has enabled the combination of functional and anatomical imaging. Its use in cancer patients has not yet been evaluated or validated against a relative gold stand or clinical follow up. The purposes of this study are: 1: to validate the use of conventional planar bone scintigraphy and SPECT combined with low-dose or diagnostic CT and compare this to 3 Tesla MRI and clinical follow up. 2: to compare the specificity of low-dose and diagnostic CT, respectively, combined with bone SPECT. 3: to construct an algorithm for optimal evaluation of disease dissemination in breast cancer patients
The prognosis of lung cancer depends much on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Only 16 % of lung cancer can be offered curative intended surgery. Chest x-ray is the gate-keeper in lung cancer diagnosis, but it has a miss rate of 20-60 %. A false negative chest x-ray often causes prolonged delay in diagnosis - often months. Recently a "48 hour diagnosis guaranty" has been implemented, which helps accelerate the system delay (delay from referral to diagnosis). But chest x-ray is still the gate-keeper; if the chest x-ray is negative further examination ceases. PET/CT has a higher sensitivity (96 %), than chest x-ray. In the latter years only little improvement in the survival rate of lung cancer has been made. Screening studies is currently been performed, but it's time for innovative thinking. PET/CT has established its place in the staging of lung cancer. But studies like this may help to place PET/CT in the chain of examination making it more cost-beneficial. The overall aim of this study is to improve patient course with earlier diagnosis of lung cancer.
The objective of this trial is to assess the value of 18F-choline PET/CT for the detection of regional lymph node metastases from prostate cancer. In addition, the investigators want to evaluate whether 18F-choline PET/CT can replace lymphadenectomy for the staging of prostate cancer.
