There are about 11272 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 Identification and Treatment of Alcohol Problems in Primary Care (iTAPP) Study is a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled intervention trial evaluating the effectiveness of the 15-Method as an identification and treatment tool for alcohol-related problems in Danish general practice. The 15-Method combines evidence-based approaches from specialized addiction treatment with screening and readily available treatment options in general practice to help identify and treat alcohol problems in a primary care setting. The method has shown promising results as a treatment tool in Sweden. A feasibility study of the 15-Method in Denmark suggested that the method can be implemented in Danish general practice. The trial is led by the Unit for Clinical Alcohol Research at The University of Southern Denmark in collaboration with The Research Unit of General Practice Odense at The University of Southern Denmark.

The study is being conducted to understand how the medicine, semaglutide, affects the immune system and other biological processes in people with Alzheimer's disease. Semaglutide is a medicine that doctors can prescribe in some countries for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and excess body weight. This study will help us understand whether semaglutide can also be used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The study will last for about 77 weeks. In the first 12 weeks of treatment, participants will either get semaglutide (active medicine) or placebo (inactive dummy medicine). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. In the following 52 weeks of treatment, all participants taking part in the study will get semaglutide. Participants must have a study partner, who is willing to take part in the study. Participants will get study medicine in a pen injector. The study partner will need to inject the study medicine into the skin of participant's stomach, thigh or upper arm once every week.
The primary goal of this project is to investigate whether online supervised team-based exercise training is superior for increasing functional strength in elders compared to prescribed self-administered exercise training. Secondarily, the project aims to investigate whether adherence to online supervised team-based exercise training is greater compared to prescribed self-administered training, and if online supervised team-based exercise training can increase quality of life. Finally, this project will generate more knowledge on elderly individuals' approaches and responses to physical exercise through online services. The participants will undergo a 12-week intervention where they will be performing prescribed physical exercise for 5 hours bi-weekly and complete a 3-day dietary registration three times during the study. Participants will be randomized (2:1 ratio) to two groups and will: i) undergo supervised training in groups on an online live meeting platform by trained personnel, or ii) receive prescribed exercises through an online exercise platform but their training will be self-administered and unsupervised.
This study aims to train an AI for video-directed endotracheal intubation (VITION) to recognise the anatomical structures of the upper airway during video-directed endotracheal intubations.
The current study aims to assess the efficacy of manual treatment with craniosacral therapy of fascial tissue in throat, neck, cranial and mouth region, on radiation and/ore surgery induced salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia in patients who have been through surgery and/or radiation therapy because of cancer in to the troat and mouth regions. The hypothesis of this project is based on a recent clinical case treated by me: I practice as a physiotherapist and craniosacral therapist in a private clinic. The patient in question was treated with craniosacal techniques( techniques that mobilizes the fascia, ment very broad - meninges, dura,sleeves around the nerve-tissue). He suffered from xerostomia and hyposaliva after neck surgery and radiation therapy four years prior to my treatment. During the second treatment of fascial release of the scar tissue and of the tissue around atlas, axis and occiput the patient strongly felt that his saliva started flowing. He received an additional 3 treatments, with fascial release techniques in neck, throat meninges and mouth regions, and three months after his last treatment the patient still reported much better production of saliva than before start of treatment. Furthermore, the patient reported significant gains in ease of speaking and eating. This project aim to assess if this was only an isolated event or if craniosacral therapy could be an evidence based method aiming to increase saliva production and decrease xerostomia for patients after surgical and radiation therapy.
The trial takes place in 4 psychiatric closed wards at Ny Psykiatri Bispebjerg. The objective is to compare, retrospectively, over two consecutive winter periods (2022 and 2023) the effect of the lighting on the duration of stay of the patients. During the first winter, a standard lighting is used, and, during the second winter, the lighting will be modified to favor a greater light intensity in blue wave color light in the morning and a gradual decrease in light intensity in the evening adjusted for geographical orientation of the patients' rooms.
The goal of this randomized, controlled clinical trial is to test a new concept for communication skills training (on-site supportive communication training (on-site SCT) in cancer care. The study aims to determine the impact of on-site SCT on patients' rating of oncologists' communication abilities. Oncologists participating in the study will be randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. In the intervention group each doctor will have a total of three intervention days at intervals of 3-4 weeks. On an intervention day, a psychologist will sit in and observe doctor-patient consultations. After the first consultations, 30 minutes are allocated for feedback to the doctor by the psychologist. After the last consultation of the day, 60 minutes are allocated for thorough feedback and establishment of learning goals to focus on until the next intervention day. Doctor's in the control group will conduct communication as usual. Researchers will compare the control and intervention groups to see if patients' rating of doctors' interpersonal and communication skills increase when the doctors have participated in on-site SCT. The 15-item Communication Assessment Tool (CAT) will be used. It will also be investigated whether on-site SCT increases the doctors' rating of themselves in relation to communication efficacy and job satisfaction and decrease their experience of burnout.
Exercise has been shown to influence the immune system and, for example, improve anti-viral immune response. However, knowledge of how exercise impacts the immune system is still lacking. Therefore, the goal of this clinical study is to perform a comprehensive multi-parameter analysis of immunological parameters in healthy participants before and after one bout of high-intensity aerobic exercise. The primary endpoint of this study is to determine the exercise-induced changes of anti-viral T cell immunity in peripheral blood against common and recurrent viruses. Up to 70 healthy participants in the age between 18 and 75 will be recruited. The first visit will be for prescreening the health status, answering questionnaires and providing a capillary blood sample for HLA screening. HLA-A2 positive participants will continue on the trial with a VO2 max test for Visit 2 and the supervised aerobic medium- to high-intensity (90% VO2 max) exercise session for Visit 3. Peripheral blood samples will be taken pre-exercise, within 2 minutes post-exercise and 60 minutes post-exercise. These findings may pave the way to define serum markers or cellular immunological traits that provide new insight into how exercise promotes powerful and sustained cellular immune responses.
This pilot study aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of a previously developed and tested physical literacy (PL) intervention. A promising and internationally tested intervention, the Youth Physical Activity Towards Health (Y PATH), is based on the theory of PL and has proven to be effectful on children's PA levels and motor skills The Promoting Pupils' Physical Literacy (3 PL) project aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of the previously developed and tested Y-PATH intervention in a Danish context among a pupils (9 11 years of age). The hypothesis is that a revised 3 PL intervention protocol, aiming to increase pupils' PL, is ready for effectiveness testing by the end of this project.
