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 study is a randomized, double blind, cross-over study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CNV1014802 in subjects with neuropathic pain from lumbosacral radiculopathy.
This study is an international, multi-center, open-label study designed to provide oral treprostinil (UT-15C) to eligible subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension who have completed the TDE-PH-310 study. The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety of UT-15C and to assess the effects of long-term treatment with UT-15C on exercise capacity.
This is an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event driven study in subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study on 40 men with type 2 DM. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by hyperinsulinaemia and insulin resistance. Hypothesis Testosterone therapy increases lean body mass and insulin sensitivity in men with low normal levels of bioavailable testosterone and type 2 DM.
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in Europe and United States and the second leading cause of death worldwide and affects more than 10,000 Danes each year. Studies in a late and stationary phase after stroke have shown that physical rehabilitation is of great importance for survival and physical ability of these patients, however many studies show that patients lie or sit next to their bed under hospitalization for more than 88.5 % of the daily hours. Physical activity in stroke patients has never previously been measured immediately after debut of symptoms; furthermore there is no knowledge about the optimal dose of physical rehabilitation for these patients. Accelerometers, small measuring devices, are a relatively new way to measure physical activity precisely, and hence it is possible to obtain an objective measure of how active stroke patients are in the first week after admission. The accelerometers measure a variable voltage, depending on the range and intensity of movement. They can measure movement dependent of the placement of the accelerometer, for instance over the hip, arm or leg. Studies confirm their reliability, even in patients with abnormal gait, such as stroke patients. Another approach of studying the effects of physical activity and rehabilitation is through the examination of biomarkers. Studies have shown that biomarkers released during physical activity can inhibit biomarkers released after tissue injury in the brain, as seen after stroke. These brain biomarkers cause further damage and studies show that the higher the levels, the higher the damage. It is therefore obvious to examine whether physical activity rehabilitation can down regulate this destructive process in patients with stroke. Clarification of physical activity in stroke patients immediately after debut of symptoms and examination of both the biochemical aspects of physical rehabilitation as well as the optimal dose of physical rehabilitation is of great importance for many patients, their relatives as well as of a great socioeconomic importance. The purpose of the project is to describe the amount and pattern of physical activity in stroke patients in the first week after admission. The investigators hypothesis is that patients are inactive for most of the time during hospitalization, activity being correlated with severity of stroke, but not with age, BMI and sex.
The study aims at describing the acute and subacute changes after Roux-en-Y (RYGB) gastric bypass in insulin secretion from the beta cell and glucagon secretion from the alpha cell as well as the stimulatory effect of the incretins on the pancreatic islets. RYGB is a bariatric procedure that changes the gastrointestinal anatomy and has been demonstrated to cause remission of type 2 diabetes shortly after the operation, before any significant weight loss. The altered transit of nutrient through the gastrointestinal tract after the operation is thought to play a key role in this remission and studies have shown significant changes in the secretion of gut hormones, namely the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). However it is unknown whether the secretory function of the pancreatic islets as well as the stimulatory effect of the incretin hormones is changes postoperatively.
There is an increasing trend in the society for developing obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. It is therefore important to identify the risk factors behind this tendency. Recent studies have shown that exposure to high blood sugar levels in pregnancy (as in mothers with type 1 diabetes) may play a role in the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases later in life for the children. Some studies suggest that high blood sugar levels during pregnancy can also affects cognitive function as well as growth and development of puberty. The mechanisms behind this are not sufficiently clarified yet. In the period 1993-1999, pregnant women with type 1 diabetes in Denmark were followed and information about the course of pregnancy was collected, including the long-term blood sugar level during pregnancy and the children's' condition at birth. The unique opportunities in Denmark to identify and follow the children of these mothers and the possibility to select a comparison group of children of non-diabetic mothers gives a unique opportunity to examine the children of mothers with type 1 diabetes and accurately investigate the effect of blood sugar levels in pregnancy on conditions later in life. There has not previously been made any study of this size and it is the investigators hope to be able to quantify the effect of blood sugar level during pregnancy on outcomes later in life. This will potentially give the possibility to detect individuals at risk for cardiovascular diseases earlier and to improve prevention targets in children of mothers with diabetes.
The primary objective of the trial is to determine the 24-hour FEV1-time profile of tiotropium + olodaterol FDC, administered once daily by the RESPIMAT Inhaler after 6 weeks of treatment.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of an integrated rehabilitation programme, consisting of physical exercise training and psycho-educational consultations, for patients after heart valve surgery. The hypothesis is that integrated rehabilitation can improve physical capacity measured by V02 peak, self-rated mental health and life quality by validated questionnaires such as SF-36, and other objective parameters such as cardiac-specific biomarkers and echocardiographic measurements.
There are many different views regarding ideal duration and type of thromboprophylaxis after hip or knee surgery. An important factor in Fast-track surgery is early mobilization, which in itself is thought to prevent clotting. The investigators hypothesize that there is no increase with regards to thrombosis in patients receiving fast-track surgery with early mobilization and chemical thrombosis prophylaxis only during hospitalization.
