There are about 11226 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 randomized controlled study evaluates the effectiveness of explainable AI (XAI) in improving clinicians' interpretation of Doppler ultrasound images (UA and MCA) in obstetrics. It involves 92 clinicians, randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group receives XAI feedback, aiming to enhance accuracy in ultrasound interpretation and medical decision-making. Objectives: 1. To develop an interpretable model for commonly used Doppler flows, specifically the Pulsatility Index (PI) of the umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA), with the aim to provide quality feedback on Doppler spectrum images and suggest potential gate placements. 2. To test the effects of providing Explainable AI (XAI)-feedback for clinicians compared with no feedback on their accuracy in ultrasound interpretation and management.
An increasing number of older patients undergo heart surgery. Despite seemingly successful outcomes, these vulnerable patients may face prolonged decreased functional capacity, reduced self-efficacy, and impaired quality of life after discharge. Early engagement in physical activity and education plays a key role in health and well-being after heart surgery The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an app-based exercise program and weekly calls from a physiotherapist in the early stages after open heart surgery. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard care or an intervention group, which will be introduced to an individually tailored exercise program as an addition to standard care. Follow-up is planned with an out-patient visit six weeks after discharge and a telephone interview six months post-surgery. All participants will undergo assessments at enrollment and during follow-up. Physical performance will be evaluated through physical tests. General well-being, quality of life, self-reported physical activity, and cost-effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed through questionnaires. Muscle health will be examined through blood sampling, CT scans, and muscle biopsies. The primary endpoint is the 30-second Chair Stand Test serving as a measurement of physical function.
The objective of this retrospective study is to determine the survival rates of CCA patients based on different therapeutic approaches. Additionally, we aim to investigate the risk factors associated with poor survival within a cohort of patients treated over a seven-year period across four Danish hospitals. We anticipate that our findings could provide additional evidence for clinical decision-making, improve patient outcomes, and contribute to the knowledge in the field.
This research project aims to investigate the role of endogenous GIP during fasting. With the infusion of a GIP receptor antagonist (GIP[3-30]NH2), is it possible to selectively remove the effect of endogenous GIP, and thus describe its effects by comparing it with what happens during a saline infusion.
The goal of the randomized controlled trial is to find out if the internet-based therapy (iCBT) intervention CoolMinds, is effective in helping adolescents with anxiety. The adolescents in the study are aged between 12 and 17 years of age, who live in the region of Southern Denmark. They must have an anxiety diagnosis according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5) criteria. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. If getting anxiety treatment with CoolMinds will lead to a greater reduction in anxiety symptoms, compared to a waitlist. 2. What effect different degrees of therapist support have on the treatment. Participants will be getting 14 weeks of the iCBT intervention CoolMinds, and they will be asked to answer questionnaires about their mental health before and after the treatment. Researchers will compare three different groups, with 56 adolescents in each group. The first group will receive iCBT with weekly scheduled feedback. The second group will get iCBT with feedback whenever the adolescents ask for it. The last group will be on a waiting list for 14 weeks, before receiving treatment.
Insomnia is reported by more than 50% of patients with chronic pain. In this study, the investigators aim to advance the understanding of physiological sleep in individuals with chronic pain. To do this the investigators will monitor at-home sleep with an ear-EEG over 20 nights in patients with chronic pain and collect self-reported measures of sleep and pain. The collected data will be used to explore and characterize intra-individual variations in sleep metrics (e.g. total sleep time, time in each sleep stage (N1, N2, N3, REM), sleep latency, REM stage latency, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency, number of arousals and arousal index) over 20 nights.
In the present study the plasma lipid profile was elucidated in healthy, lean males by the use of lipidomic analysis in the hours after an acute intake of medium-chain fatty acids (MCT) and long chain fatty acids (LCT),, respectively. In addition oxygen uptake was measured to study energy turnover.
Patients with spinal muscular atrophy who are wheelchair users often experience lower back - and gluteal pain, reduced sleep quality, constipation and reduced quality of life - symptoms that regular exercise could potentially alleviate. However, only very little research has been done on exercise for patients who are wheelchair users. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of cycle exercise on patients with spinal muscular atrophy.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about, the systemic exposure to dexamethason in childhood acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL). The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the intake of dexamethasone correlate with systemic exposure to dexamethason? - Does systemic exposure to dexamethasone correlate with a reduction in bone mineral density? Participants will: - Continue to receive the best available therapy for ALL in Western Europe. - Have blood samples taken from their central line to measure dexamethasone levels. - When standard lumbar punctures are done as part of treatment, a sample of cerebrospinal fluid will also be taken to analyze dexamethasone. - Visit the clinic four times for a DXA scans to measure bone density and vertebral fracture assessment: within three weeks of starting treatment, six months after starting treatment, one month after finishing treatment, and one year after finishing treatment. Biomarkers related to bone health will also be collected on these days. Additionally, participants will fill out questionnaires to track their daily physical activity levels.
