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.
TEst the effect of "Tailored Physical Activity" or "Chronic Pain Self-management Program" on Returning to Work in Sicklisted Citizens With Chronic Pain Related to the Spine or Upper Body
Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease of the skin and joints with a prevalence of 1-3% in the caucasian population of Northern Europe and the US. Similarly to other inflammatory diseases there is now substantial and accumulating evidence that psoriasis has a systemic inflammatory component. It is known that patients suffering from psoriasis have increased prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obesity, tobacco use and diabetes mellitus. This would logically explain an increased rate of cardiovascular events, but even when adjusting for theses risk factors, psoriasis carry an independent risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Recent large epidemiological studies have shown a strong correlation between psoriasis and myocardial infarction. Atopic dermatitis has been linked to ischemic stroke in one study, but besides this, the disease has not been associated with cardiovascular disease. In conclusion, convincing and increasing evidence is supporting that psoriasis induce accelerated atherosclerosis and hence cardiovascular disease and mortality. In particular, this is seen in young patients with early disease onset. Psoriasis is believed to be driven by cytokines produced by Th1 and Th17 lymphocytes. A number of these cytokines are suggested to be atherogenic. In contrast, another chronic inflammatory disease, atopic dermatitis, is predominantly driven by Th2 lymphocyte derived cytokines, some of which may inhibit atherosclerotic processes. It is therefore, of interest to compare the presence of cardiovascular disease in these two inflammatory skin diseases. Hypothesis: That the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and especially coronary artery disease is increased in psoriasis patients and that this process can be influenced by treatment of psoriasis with biological treatment.
This is an investigation of the efficacy and safety of CRD007 compared to placebo in the treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm.
The aim of the trial is to investigate the effect of daily supplementation with 2.7 grams of long chain n-3 fatty acids during the third trimester of pregnancy. In 1990, 533 pregnant women, while they were in gestational week 30, were randomized to fish oil supplements providing the mentioned amount of long chain n-3 fatty acids, olive oil supplements, or no supplements; they were asked to take the supplements until delivery. Health outcomes were assessed during pregnancy and delivery. Further, offspring health and development has been examined during the ensuring two decades by making linkages to the rich Danish health and administrative registries, by asking the offspring to complete web-based questionnaires, and by examining the offspring physically.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Circular and Crescent Mapping and Ablation catheters and the workflow of the Multi-Electrode Irrigated Pulmonary Vein Isolation System when used for the treatment of drug refractory symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
In this study patients with treatment resistant depression, as defined by Harold Sackeim, is subjected to daily sessions, for eight weeks, with Pulsating ElectroMagnetive Treatment (PEMF). Treatment is given two times a day, in the morning and in the afternoon. Patients are randomized into two groups. In group A patients receive active treatment both morning and afternoon. In group B patients receive one sham and one active treatment. The study is double-blind as neither the assessors or patients are aware of treatment allocation. Each session lasts 30 minutes. Patients are psychometrically assessed weekly for depression severity and side effect. After this intervention period patients are followed for further three weeks without PEMF treatment. Patients are on unchanged medication for the whole of the study period.
This study is looking at a new vaccine that might prevent meningococcal disease, and will study the immune response elicited by this vaccine when given to healthy young adults. The study will also look at the safety of the new vaccine as well as how it is tolerated.
A multicenter phase 3 safety trial in which 5,700 subjects will be assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive 120 μg rLP2086 vaccine in a 0, 2, 6 month schedule or control. The control group will receive HAVRIX vaccine at month 0 and 6 and saline at month 2. All subjects will be followed for 6 months after the last vaccination to assess safety and tolerability.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of increasing doses of tapentadol prolonged release (PR) (500 mg per day) versus a combination of tapentadol PR (300 mg per day) and pregabalin (to 300 mg per day) in subjects requiring additional analgesia after titration to tapentadol PR 300 mg per day. This is a clinical effectiveness trial designed to establish a link between anticipated clinical outcomes and the clinical practice by means of selected measures of clinical and subject reported outcomes. Since, severe low back pain with a neuropathic component, the targeted study population, is frequently treated with a combination therapy (monotherapy is often not effective enough) it is of interest to determine if tapentadol alone (combining 2 mechanisms of action in a single molecule) could be as effective as a combination of tapentadol plus pregabalin. Furthermore, the tolerability profiles of monotherapy versus combination are of interest.
The primary objective of the current study is to evaluate the outcome of an interdisciplinary multi-component rehabilitation programme customized to patients with chronic widespread pain (CWP) based on multidimensional diagnostic assessment including sub-grouping, and aiming to improve functional ability in everyday life. The hypothesis is that a patient-focused multi-disciplinary rehabilitation approach will improve both functional ability and quality of life for patients with CWP.
