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.
This is a 16-week treatment, randomized, double-blind, proof-of-concept study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of RGRN-305 compared to placebo for use in future efficacy Phase 2 trials. Male or female subjects aged 18 years or older with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa will be included in this study. Objectives are to determine the efficacy and safety of RGRN-305 in patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis supppurativa.
The purpose of the study is to improve treatment for newly referred patients with migraine and tension-type headache to the Danish Headache Center. All patients will recieve an electronic questionnaire just before the first visit concerning their current and previous history of headache and headache treatment. Half of them will enter a special telephone-intervention (TeII) program with two planned phone-calls after 8 and 16 weeks from first visit. The other half of patients will follow the normal follow-up program. All patients will be seen by a headache specialist after 6 months and will be asked to fill in a follow-up electronic questionnaire.
In breast cancer patients late-term upper limb sequelae, such as shoulder pain and impaired shoulder function remain common after primary breast cancer surgery. The aim of this trial is to evaluate whether an expert assessment of shoulder impairments, followed by an individualised treatment plan, is superior to a minimal physiotherapeutic rehabilitation program in reducing shoulder symptoms, assessed 12 weeks after initiation of treatment, among women with late-term shoulder impairments after primary breast cancer surgery.
The overarching aim of this study is to investigate whether a new educational point-of-care ultrasound course tailored for general practitioners working in office-based general practice can lead to scanning competence at the end of the training program (three months after baseline) and if scanning competence can be maintained six months after baseline.
Although high-intensity training (HIIT) is widely used in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the optimal duration of intervals in terms of patient tolerability and fidelity is unknown.Thus, we will examine the fidelity and tolerability of the two most commonly used HIIT protocols, the classical so-called 4x4min vs. 10x1min in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
PrePhage - Fecal bacteriophage transfer for enhanced gastrointestinal tract maturation in preterm infants This pilot triol has the primary goal of demonstrating the safety of transferring viruses and proteins from healthy term infants to preterm infants born between gestational age (GA) 26 + 0 and 30+6. The long-term goal is to develop a safe and effective treatment to prevent the severe gut disease called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). NEC is a common disease in neonatal intensive care units affecting 5-10% of all admitted patients. 15-30% of the affected children die from the disease, and many of the survivors suffer from the effects of extensive gut surgery. While the disease is caused by many different factors, recent research has shown the gut microbiome to be a central factor in the development of NEC. Furthermore, in the recent years special viruses called bacteriophages have shown potential in the treatment of various diseases. By collecting feces from healthy, term infants and filtering it thoroughly, the investigators can provide a treatment that contains practically only viruses, proteins and nutrients. It is our belief that giving the preterm infants a mix of viruses including bacteriophages will prevent NEC. To do this, the investigators will go through 3 stages: Recruiting and following healthy donor infants to study the microbiota and use feces from them to donate in stage 2 and 3 Examining the safety of the treatment as well as how it works in preterm piglets STAGE 3 will be performed only if stage 2 shows no serious risks for the infants Testing the treatment in preterm infants. 10 preterm infants will receive the treatment and 10 preterm infants will receive placebo. The investigators expect to see no serious side effects to the treatment. The investigators hope, but do not expect to be able to see a beneficial effect of the treatment. If this pilot trial shows promising results, it will be followed be a larger clinical trial.
Dementia is an increasing health challenge among elderly citizens in Denmark. An estimated 87,000 Danes live with dementia, and this number is expected to increase to 130,000 in 2030. Psychiatric symptoms and behavioral changes decrease quality of life for patients and their spouses and is a challenge for caretakers. Behavior changes include agitation which can be divided in four sub-groups: 1) physical aggression, 2) physical non-aggression, 3) verbal aggression, and 4) verbal non-aggression. Pharmaceutical management of behavioral changes is common and may be associated with negative side-effects including drowsiness and falls. Though non-pharmaceutical interventions such as music, massage and social activities have been recommended the underlying evidence is limited. In this randomized feasibility trial, we will investigate the feasibility and acceptability of therapeutic touch aiming to reduce agitated behavior in people living with dementia in a nursing home that specializes in the care of people living with severe dementia. The success criteria of this randomized feasibility trial are as follows: 1. Nursing home residents can be recruited and accept the treatment 'CAlming Touch for People with Agitation or Other Behavioral Symptoms of DEMentia' (CADEM) and complete the feasibility project's test protocol. 2. The treatment concept, which involves the nursing staff in charge of the follow-up treatment, can be implemented in practice. 3. The treatment (CADEM) shows a tendency towards less restless and aggressive behavior for demented citizens evaluated based on a validated measuring tool.
- The effect of broadband amplification was tested in a double-blinded crossover study - Its effect was compared to an active placebo treatment - An improvement in tinnitus distress was found after use of broadband amplification - No effect was found on the tinnitus loudness
Advance care planning (ACP) represents a process whereby a patient, in consultation with healthcare professionals, family members and important others, makes decisions about his or her future healthcare and wishes for end-of-life care and is widely advocated to improve end-of-life care for patients with heart failure (HF). Despite the growing emphasis on communication with HF patients and their relatives, there is no tradition in Denmark for systematical communication about wishes for end-of-life care. The aim of the study is to adapt the ACP to a new contest and target group and determine the feasibility and acceptable recruitment rate and completeness of potential outcome measures for a future RCT. A study of a complex intervention will be conducted to address all elements of an adapted ACP intervention in HF patients (NYHA class III, IV) and their relatives. Patients will be identified and recruited by HF specialist nurses or a cardiologist from the Department of Cardiology at North Zealand Hospital. The HF specialist nurses or the cardiologist will inform the patients about the study and obtain consent for the research staff to contact the patients by telephone. The patients will be further informed by the research staff and asked to fill out the baseline questionnaires. The patients will be asked to select the closest relatives who also will be offered participation. Included patients will receive an invitation with the date and time of their ACP meeting in their electronic patient record. They will be offered an ACP discussion which covers components e.g. symptom control, discussions on prognosis and illness limitations, and wishes for future and end-of-life care. Baseline and follow-up (4 and 12 weeks after the ACP meeting) will be made with disease-specific and generic questionnaires. Qualitative interview data will be obtained, and thematic analysis will uncover the patients, relatives and the clinician's perspectives and satisfaction with the intervention.
The purpose of the study is to test and optimize the feasibility of an activity-based resistance training program for patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. The study is a feasibility study designed as a multiple-case study with quantitative and qualitative data sources related to a number of feasibility outcomes and clinical outcomes during and after the intervention. Participants are 15 patients> 65 years of age are referred for dysphagia assessment by an Occupational Therapist (patients may be admitted to several different wards (endocrinology, pulmonary medicine, infectious medicine, gastrology). The intervention is offered during hospitalization and after discharge for a maximum of 12 weeks.
