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 purpose of the study is to compare the results of the Becton Dickinson (BD) Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Assay on the Viper LT instrument from SurePath media diluted in HPV diluent (pre-quot and/or residual), PreservCyt media diluted in HPV diluent (pre-quot and/or residual) and a BD cervical brush in BD transport medium to reference histology results from biopsy.
The prevalence of pain in the shoulder, arm and hand is high among slaughterhouse workers, allegedly due to the substantial load of these body regions during work. Work disability is a common consequence of these pains. Lowering the physical exposure through ergonomic intervention may be a strategy to reduce the workload. An alternative strategy could be to increase the physical capacity through strength training of the shoulder-, arm- and hand-muscles. This study investigates the effect of two contrasting interventions, i.e. load reduction (ergonomic intervention) versus training of physical capacity (strength training) on pain and work disability in slaughterhouse workers. The main hypothesis is that strength training intervention for 10 weeks compared with ergonomic intervention results in reduced pain of the shoulder, arm and hand.
In this part of the Registry Program patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) at risk for stroke are enrolled to characterize the target population and to collect real world data on important outcome events. For administrative purposes the study is divided into two protocol numbers: 1160.129 for non-EU (European Union) and non-EEA (European Economic Area) countries, and 1160.136 for EU and EEA countries. The total number of patients enrolled in both protocols is estimated to be 48,000 patients, and all these patients will be included in the data analysis for study 1160.129.
Probiotics is given routinely to infants admitted to the department of neonatology during the first 3 days of life with gestational age less than 30 weeks since March 2010. The incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis Bell stage II and III will be assessed blindly from clinical records. It is hypothesised that the incidence of NEC will decrease. Infants admitted from 1 March 2010 to 28 February 2013 will be compared to infants admitted 1 Dec 2007 to 30 Nov 2009 will be compared.
This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm, observational pilot study to assess the clinical outcomes of Strattice Reconstructive Tissue Matrix for perineal reconstruction following eLAPE and simultaneous stoma reinforcement.
This study wants to investigate the efficiency of biological treatment for chronic pouchitis. Chronic pouchitis is inflammation in a reconstruction after removal of the colon, a pouch. It is examined in patients with ulcerative colitis. The primary objective evaluation is to evaluate the clinically effect of biological therapy (adalimumab) in patients with chronic pouchitis. Secondary objective is to evaluate the effect of biological therapy on the endoscopical and histological inflammatory activity. It is a double-blinded randomized placebo controlled study.
This multicenter observational study will evaluate the use of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in monotherapy in patients with active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis unable to use methotrexate. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment will be followed for 6 months.
Anesthesia for hip surgery can be performed with ultrasound guided blockade of the mesh of nerves (the lumbar plexus) supplying the hip region from the lumbar spinal nerves. This is a relevant technique in patients with severe cardiac comorbidity. The technique is a safer alternative compared to general or spinal anesthesia in these fragile patients. The most recognized technique with ultrasound guidance (Karmakars technique) is technically demanding and based on injection of local anesthetic relatively close to the exit of the spinal nerves from the spine. The risk is spread of local anesthetic to the spinal canal prompting a risk of low blood pressure. This may be fatal in high risk patients. The investigators have developed a simple technique based on injection away from the spinal canal. The investigators expect minimal risk of spread of local anesthetic to the spinal canal with this technique. This randomized, double blinded trial compares the new technique to the established technique of ultrasound guided blockade of the lumbar plexus. The hypothesis is that the new technique has a higher success rate with reduced effect on blood pressure for ultrasound guided lumbar plexus block compared to the established technique.
The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical benefit, as measured by duration of overall survival, of Nivolumab vs. Everolimus in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy
Background: It is well known that cardiac rehabilitation has potential to reduce morbidity and mortality, but not all patients complete CR. This LC-REHAB trial aims to compare the effect of a new patient education method called learning and coping strategies to that of standard care. Design: Randomised controlled trial, 1:1 ratio. Participants: Patients above 18 years newly hospitalised with either ischaemic heart disease or heart failure. Setting: Three hospital Units in Central Denmark Region. Intervention: Cardiac rehabilitation with addition of learning and coping strategies which include participation of experienced patients as co-educators, clarifuing interviews, and inductive teaching style. Control arm: Standard care cardiac rehabilitation with a decuctive teaching style. Outcomes: Adherence to cardiac rehabilitation, morbidity, mortality, risk factors, lifestyle, health related quality of life, return to work.
