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 this study is to assess the impact of Gamma3 intramedullary nails versus sliding hip screws on rate of revision surgery in individuals with inter-trochanteric fractures. Secondary outcomes include fracture healing rates, fracture related complications, and health-related quality of life.
Diabetes is a common condition associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Non-pharmacological intervention strategies focusing on factors to improve self-management skills are considered an important part of the treatment in individuals with diabetes. Because of the increasing incidence in diabetes with costs (both physical, psychological and financial) for both patients and society it is important to investigate interventions that successfully promote self-care behaviour in patient with diabetes. Further research is needed to develop interventions effective in maintaining long-term glycemic control. The aim of this project is to study the long-term effect of a motivational intervention program with an individual approach based on cognitive-behavioural strategies in chronically ill patients with diabetes. The effect will be evaluated on both physiological and psychosocial parameters including patient's experienced self-care competence. The study will also provide an overview of what kind of non-pharmacological interventions that have been applied in relation to the treatment of type 2 diabetes and assess the effect of the various non-pharmacological interventions in randomised controlled trials.
The difficulties in loosing weight may not stem from lack og knowledge about nutrition, as implied by the standard treatment but from difficulties in following the advice. The hypothesis is, that revealing and addressing these difficulties psychotherapeutically may be more efficient in obtaining weight reduction. The effect of psychological group treatment of severely overweight children and their parents is compared with traditional nutritional information. In other words: Which is better: back-up or enlightenment?
Enthuse M1 is a large phase III clinical trial studying the safety and efficacy of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in patients with hormone resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases. - This clinical trial will test if the Endothelin A Receptor Antagonist ZD4054 (Zibotentan) can improve survival compared with placebo. - ZD4054(Zibotentan) is a new type of agent, which is thought to slow tumour growth and spread by blocking Endothelin A receptor activity. This trial will look at the effects of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. - All patients participating in this clinical trial will receive existing standard prostate cancer treatments in addition to trial therapy. - Half the patients will receive ZD4054 (Zibotentan), and half the patients will receive placebo in addition to standard prostate cancer therapy. By participating in this trial there is a 50% chance that patients will receive an agent that may slow the progression of the tumour. - No patients will be deprived of standard prostate cancer therapy.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Letrozole may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. It is not yet known which regimen of letrozole is more effective in postmenopausal women who have received hormone therapy for early-stage breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing two different regimens of letrozole in preventing cancer in postmenopausal women who have received 4-6 years of hormone therapy for hormone receptor-positive, lymph node-positive, early-stage breast cancer.
To study whether addition of human LH hormone (Luveris) during the final days of stimulation with recombinant FSH (Gonal-f) for controlled ovarian stimulation will be of benefit for patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation.
In stent neointimal hyperplasia may be less in the Cypher select plus stent compared to the Xience V stent in diabetic patients.
In a randomized study the Xience V coroary artery stent may be non inferior to the Cypher Select+ coronary stents in the treatment of unselected patients with coronary artery disease.
It is the primary purpose of this pilot study to investigate if physical therapy with strength training is better at improving muscle and gait function after anti-spastic treatment with Botulinum toxin compared to physical therapy without strength training in children with cerebral palsy. The investigators hypothesize that it is.
This 2-arm study was designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) treatment with 2 mg or 3 mg Bonviva in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis who had previously completed Bonviva study BM16550 (DIVA study; NCT00048074). Patients received Bonviva either 2 mg IV every 2 months, or 3 mg IV every 3 months. Patients also received daily supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. The anticipated time on study treatment was 2+ years, and the target sample size was 500+ individuals.
