NCT ID: NCT02371928 Completed - Clinical trials for Musculoskeletal Diseases

A Neuromuscular Exercise Program for Patients With Anterior Shoulder Instability

SINEX
Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of a supervised neuromuscular exercise program versus a standard home exercise program for patients with post-traumatic symptomatic anterior shoulder instability. Participants with at least one week of symptom duration are randomly assigned to either a 12-week structured, supervised Shoulder Instability Neuromuscular EXercise (SINEX) program versus a standard HOMe EXercise (HOMEX) program. The H1-hypothesis is that the SINEX program results in a greater increase in quality of life and physical function than the HOMEX program at the primary endpoint at three months follow-up from baseline

NCT ID: NCT02371369 Completed - Clinical trials for Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor

Phase 3 Study of Pexidartinib for Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) or Giant Cell Tumor of the Tendon Sheath (GCT-TS)

ENLIVEN
Start date: May 11, 2015
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a Phase 3 clinical study, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational drug called pexidartinib for the treatment of certain tumors for which surgical removal could cause more harm than good. The main purpose of this study is to gather information about the investigational drug pexidartinib, which may help to treat tumors of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) or giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS). The study consists of two parts with a follow-up period. In Part 1, eligible study participants will be assigned to receive either pexidartinib or matching placebo for 24 weeks. A number of assessments will be carried out during the course of the study, including physical examinations, blood tests, imaging studies, electrocardiograms, and questionnaires. MRI scans will be used to evaluate the response of the tumors to the treatment. Some subjects, assigned to placebo in Part 1 transitioned to pexidartinib for Part 2. Then a protocol amendment was written to allow only pexidartinib patients to continue into Part 2. Part 2 is a long-term treatment phase in which all participants receive open-label pexidartinib. There was also a follow-up period added to Part 2.

Study type: Interventional

This study is a 2-part open-label, randomized, crossover, multicenter, non-therapeutic Phase II study to investigate the presence of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of EPANOVA® (omega-3 carboxylic acids) and omega-3-acid ethyl esters (OMACOR®, Abbott Healthcare Products Ltd) following a single oral dose in patients with different degrees of PEI.

NCT ID: NCT02369640 Completed - Clinical trials for Simulation-based Ultrasound Training, Error-management Training, Training With Errors, Skills Transfer

Learning From Errors During Simulation-based Ultrasound Training

Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

During the past decades, simulation-based training has become essential for making trainees fit for clinical practice. Traditionally, trainees are instructed to practice with as few errors as possible during simulation-based training. However, recent evidence from the field of psychology suggests that transfer of learning may improve if trainees are encouraged to commit errors during training. The aim of this study is to assess on performances with real patients the effect of error-management instructions compared to error-avoidance instructions during simulation-based virtual reality ultrasound training. This study is planned as a randomized controlled trial. Participants include medical students with no prior simulation practice at the fifth or sixth year of medical school. All participants receive 3 hours simulation-based ultrasound training focusing on fetal weight estimation. The participants (N=60) are randomized into two groups: Participants in group 1 are instructed to follow the simulator program step-by-step to achieve the highest possible simulator metric scores by making as few errors as possible. Participants in group 2 are instructed to experiment and explore and to deliberately make errors during training. A simulation-based pre- and post-test is administered before and after training. Participants are scheduled to perform a transfer test seven to ten days after simulation training. The transfer test consists of fetal weight estimation on a real patient. The primary outcome is weight deviation of participant measurements compared to expert findings. Secondary outcomes include performance assessments of pre-, post- and transfer test performances by blinded ultrasound experts using the Objective Structured Assessment of Ultrasound Skills (OSAUS) scale. Using an alpha level of 0.05, an effect size of 0.80, and a power of 0.80, 25 participants are needed in the two study groups. Loss to follow-up of up to 20% of study participants is anticipated, resulting in 30 participants in each study group.

NCT ID: NCT02366416 Completed - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Effects of Physical Exercise on Blood Glucose and Pain From the Musculoskeletal System in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Start date: April 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects og physical exercise on bloodglucose and pain from the musculoskeletal system in patients with type 2 diabetes. The patients will be recruited to 12 weeks of exercise twice weekly. The outomes are long term bloodglucose (HbA1c) and pain reported in questionaires. In data analyses the patients will be stratified to patients with a high or a low degree of complications related to diabetes.

NCT ID: NCT02366390 Completed - Anxiety Clinical Trials

Dialogue Aimed at Reducing Anxiety in Patients With Severe COPD

DIACOL
Start date: February 2015
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether a minimal homebased psychoeducative intervention is effective in management of anxiety and dyspnea in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

NCT ID: NCT02364453 Completed - Clinical trials for Migraine Without Aura

The Effect of Histamine H1 Receptor Antagonist, Clemastin, on PACAP38 Induced Headache in Migraine Patients

Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of antihistamine (Clemastin) on migraines triggered by pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide-38 (PACAP38) as well as on biochemical markers for mast cell degranulation in migraine patients. Also, to investigate the occurrence of migraine in migraine patients after infusion of PACAP38 in lower dosages than previously investigated. As this has never been done before it is unknown how a lower dose of PACAP38 will affect 1) the incidence of migraine attacks, 2) the accompanying symptoms, 3) head pain characteristics, and 4) debut and duration of migraine attacks. Our three hypotheses are: 1. Pre-treatment with Clemastin reduces PACAP38 sensitivity and inhibits development of migraine in migraine patients. 2. Clemastin inhibits the increase in plasma concentration of TNF-alpha, histamine and tryptase after PACAP38-infusion. 3. PACAP38 in lower dosages (4, 6 and 8 pmol/kg/min) induces migraine in migraine patients.

NCT ID: NCT02362360 Completed - Ileostomy Clinical Trials

Investigation of a New 2-piece Ostomy Product in People With an Ileostomy or Colostomy

Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of a new ostomy product on the peristomal fit for people with an ileo- or colostomy.

NCT ID: NCT02361476 Completed - Clinical trials for Psychomotor Agitation

Does Intraoperative Clonidine Reduce Post Operative Agitation in Children?

Start date: January 2015
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Clonidine is widely used off-label in children for several indications. Clonidine is used for treatment and/or prevention of postoperative agitation in children anaesthetised with Sevoflurane. The investigators don´t have solid evidence for the effect and the investigators don´t have data for characterization of the pharmacokinetic profile among age-groups for children 1-6 years. In this study the investigators want to investigate if IV Clonidine administered at the end of surgery can prevent/reduce postoperative agitation. Secondary outcomes include measurements of postoperative pain relief and adverse effects, including a 30-day follow-up.
