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 study aims to investigate the prevalence and treatment of nausea and/or vomiting in patients with advanced cancer not receiving chemotherapy or irradiation.
This study is designed as an open, prospective, non-controlled, qualitative, multicentre study of a novel transanal irrigation system performed in a population of 150 subjects suffering from spinal cord injury and confirmed neurological bowel dysfunction. The study is expected to last for a total of 1 year (treatment period) with a planned 12- month recruitment period and three scheduled site visits.
The overall aim of the study is to construct a scale that systematically incorporates the callers' perspective in a "degree of worry - scale" and to explore the consequences for the actors in the system - caller, call-handler, and health care system. This will be done through four independent studies. 1. Is it possible to validate "the degree of worry" scale with the software system "Corti"? 2. Does callers' degree of worry relieve after telephone consultation? 3. Does call handlers' awareness of degree of worry affect triage outcome? 4. Is callers' degree of worry a predictor of illness severity?
The pathophysiological mechanisms explaining the association between psoriasis and type 2 diabetes are largely unknown but it has been hypothesized that systemic inflammation found in both psoriasis and type 2 diabetes might play a role. In a recent study hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamps were performed and it showed that normal glucose-tolerant patients with moderate to severe psoriasis had lower whole-body insulin sensitivity during insulin stimulation compared to healthy matched controls. Thus, the increased risk of type 2 diabetes in patients with psoriasis appears to include defects in the glucose metabolism linked to psoriasis itself. However, the methods applied did not allow a detailed characterization of the metabolism in patients with psoriasis. Tracer technique combined with indirect calorimetry has never been applied to study hepatic and whole body insulin sensitivity, and glucose and fat oxidation, during basal conditions or during insulin stimulation in patients with psoriasis. Aim of study: The aim of this study is to investigate hepatic and whole body insulin sensitivity and glucose and fat oxidation during both basal and insulin-stimulated conditions in patients with psoriasis.
Ear thermometers are often requested to be used rather than rectal thermometer (gold standard) for measuring the body temperature, as this method is faster and more user friendly. Former ear thermometers did not meet the required standards of accuracy for clinical use. However, a new generation of ear thermometers have been developed and widely used in the Emergency departments in Denmark. The devices have only been evaluated in two studies on adult populations, with conflicting results. This cross-sectional study will examine patients by measuring both ear and rectal temperature in the same patient at the same time on admission to an emergency department, to evaluate if temperature measured in the ear can be used as the standard temperature measurement.
The purpose of this trial is to examine the effect of increasing dialyse magnesium on serum calcification propensity in subjects with end-stage renal disease treated with haemodialysis.
This study evaluates the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the ACQUIRE-ICD care innovation as add-on to usual care as compared to usual care alone in patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common ulcerative diseases affecting the oral mucosa. The aetiology remains unknown, but several local, systemic, immunologic, genetic, allergic, nutritional, and microbial factors have been proposed as causative agents. Clinically, RAS is characterised by recurrent bouts of one or several rounded, shallow, painful oral ulcers at intervals of a few months or days. The aim of this study is to characterise the salivary and faecal microbiome in 20 patients with RAS and compare the findings with those of 20 healthy controls. The study also includes a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled intervention with probiotics (Lactobacillus reuteri-containing lozenges 2 tablets daily for 3 months) or placebo. The salivary and faecal microbiome in RAS patients is compared before and after treatment. This study will improve our understanding of the pathogenesis in RAS and provide us with knowledge on potential future therapeutic approaches.
Recent studies have focused on the role of endogenous opioids on central sensitization. Central sensitization is known to be impaired or altered in chronic pain conditions, as fibromyalgia or chronic tension headache. Animal studies have shown reinstatement of mechanical hypersensitivity following naloxone administration after resolution of an injury. This suggests latent sensitization. In the present study, the investigators hypothesize that a high-dose target-controlled naloxone infusion (total dose: 3.25 mg/kg) can reinstate pain and hyperalgesia 6-8 weeks after a unilateral primary open groin hernia repair procedure. The investigators aim to show that latent sensitization is present in humans and is modulated by endogenous opioids.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most frequent cause of death in patients (ptt.) with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Compared to the general population death due to CVD is 10-20 times higher in CKD ptt. being treated with hemodialysis. Vascular calcification and hence arterial stiffness is of great importance for the high incidence of CVD. CKD ptt. in dialysis treatment also have a 3 times higher risk of bone fractures. Both vertebral and other fractures of low energy are associated with a high mortality. Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) is an important inhibitor of vascular calcification and Osteocalcin (OC) is an important regulator of bone metabolism. The function of both MGP and OC depend on vitamin K. Vitamin K is supplied with food. The content is low in food recommended to CKD ptt. which is reflected in very low concentrations of vitamin K in their blood samples. A correlation between vitamin K level, incidence of vascular calcification and bone density has been proven; yet there are no trials elucidating the clinical effect of vitamin K on vascular calcification or bone strength. The investigators will conduct a randomized placebo controlled trial examining the clinical effects of vitamin K2 on vascular calcification and bone mineralization in order to prevent and treat CVD and bone disease in CKD ptt. Primary study endpoints: 1. Changes in arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave examination 2. Changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in distal radius assessed by DXA-scans. Secondary study endpoints: Changes in coronary artery and valvular calcification assessed by heart-CT-scans, blood pressure, body composition, total and regional BMD, lateral column/aortic calcification score as well as a panel of correlating blood tests.
