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 hypotheses is that regular post exercise supplementation increase fitness and daily activity level in patients with Fascioscapulohumeral (FSH) muscular dystrophy. All patients are tested before and after 12 weeks of cycle-ergometer exercise. Maximal oxygen consumption and 6MWT is used as primarily effect goals. Secondary effect goals are risk of falls and daily activity level.
Physical rehabilitation is a key element in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases, and recent evidence has shown that supervised exercise programmes can prevent cardiovascular events, improve physical function and quality of life. Individualized exercise prescription based on appropriate frequency, intensity and duration is recommended. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that physical cardiac exercise training can influence inflammation of the vessel wall and hence reduce development of arteriosclerosis in coronary vessels. In the literature are divergent conclusions on appropriate frequency and duration of physical rehabilitation programs in order to improve physical function and reduce arteriosclerosis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of an optimized physical rehabilitation programme compared to a conventional programme on physical fitness, health related quality of life and vascular inflammation.
The aim of the project is to investigate the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formed in food during the cooking process as well as AGEs formed naturally in the human body, on insulin sensitivity and risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that i) food content of AGEs is lower using boiling and steaming cooking methods and that ii) AGEs formation in the body is lower at low dietary intake of certain sugar forms.
The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical outcome of the two different, but widely used, surgical approaches (Posterior approach and Lateral approach) of primary total hip arthroplasty in patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis. This study is divided into one main study and two sub-studies. The main study investigates the patient-reported outcome measures (questionnaire) within the first year post surgery. The two sub-studies investigate; i) the level of physical function and pain within the first 3 month after surgery, and ii) investigate the potential difference the two approaches have on gait-patterns and maximal isometric hip-muscle-strength, within the first year after surgery. Both approaches are described with potential drawbacks. Posterior approach has a higher risk of dislocation of the prostheses and revision due to dislocation compared with Lateral approach. Contrary, Lateral approach is described with the potential drawbacks of pain, lower physical function, gait abnormalities and muscle weakness, leading to less satisfied patients. However, according to a Cochrane analysis from 2004 concludes, more investigation is needed to determine the extent of differences.
The objective of the study is to demonstrate the long-term safety and performance of the ATI Neurostimulation System when used for stimulation of the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) in cluster headache subjects.
Background: - New Nordic diet guidelines advocate a reduction in consumption of protein from animal sources such as beef and pork, due to environmental concerns. - Instead, intake of protein from vegetable sources such as legumes and pulses should be increased. - A previous study showed that a meal enriched with vegetable protein increased the subjective sensation of satiety and decreased hunger and ad libitum energy intake (EI) compared to animal protein. - This study did, however, not document that vegetable protein per se is more satiating than animal protein as the vegetable meal had higher fiber content. Fiber is a likely confounder. - The protein from egg is sparingly investigated in relation to appetite. Few studies have found that eggs have a high satiety index but further investigation is needed. Objective: - To examine if vegetable protein (beans and peas) can suppress subjective appetite (VAS and ad libitum energy intake) compared to isocaloric meals enriched with either red meat or egg with similar distribution of macronutrients and content of dietary fibers. Design: Single-blind randomized 4-way crossover meal study Subjects: 33 young healthy men (Age: 18-50 years; BMI: 19-30 kg/m2). Expected completers: n=30. End points: 1. Subjective appetite (VAS) (every 30 min for 3 hours) 2. Ad libitum EI (3 hours after lunch test meal)
Patients treated surgically for a hip fracture have a need of rehabilitation for the regain of former functional skills. Despite an optimized fast track in-hospital rehabilitation program it has been found that patients with hip fracture within 2 weeks after the hip fracture loose more than half of their muscle strength in the fractured limb compared to non-fractured limb. New studies including patients with total hip arthroplasty and strength training applied early after surgery has shown promising results regarding prevention of loss of muscle strength. No similar study has been found including patients with hip fracture. The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of progressive knee-extension strength training of the hip fractured limb, starting Day 1 after surgical treatment for a hip fracture and proceeded every weekday during their hospital stay. The study will include 20 patients surgically treated for a cervical hip fracture and 20 patients surgically treated for an intertrochanteric or subtrochanteric fracture. All patients are admitted from their own home. Age 60 years or older.
Sucrose is the most used sweetener in beverage and foods in Denmark. Other sweeteners with other composition and amount of carbohydrates could be of interest in order to decrease the glucose and insulin responses after intake of a sweetened beverage/food. Malt extract has a sweet flavor but contains a different composition and amount of carbohydrates together with a small amount of protein compared to sucrose. Malt extract may therefore be a better alternative than sucrose as a sweetener due to a lower increase and more sustained blood glucose level. This could be of interest in relation to diabetes and appetite regulation but this is yet to be investigated. Thus the objective is to investigate the effect of malt extract vs. sucrose on: 1. 3-hour change in the concentration of glucose and insulin 2. 3-hour change in subjective appetite sensations (Visual Analogue Scales, VAS scores) 3. Ad libitum energy intake Design: 20 men will participate in the 2-way, randomized, double-blind crossover study. The test drinks is isocaloric with 75 g carbohydrates Test drinks: malt extract solution and sucrose solution (10%) Three-hour subjective appetite ratings and blood samples will be assessed every half-hour. Subsequently, the subjects will served an ad libitum lunch
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether patients with a preoperative reduced pulmonary function have a better preserved oxygenation capacity after open heart surgery, using either pulmonary perfusion or pulmoplegia compared with TAVI and the control-group with standard ECC (Extra Corporal Circulation).
In this study several dose levels of ASP3652, given orally for 12 weeks, will be compared with placebo in the treatment of female patients with Bladder Pain Syndrome / Interstitial Cystitis.
