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.
A placebo controlled study of APPA in 150 participants with Osteoarthritis of the knee
The main purpose of the study is to describe the applicability and reproducibility of functional MRI scans of the kidneys in healthy participants. Furthermore, the study examines to what extent physiological stress caused by lying in a scanner affects the renal perfusion and thus the reproducibility
The main objective of this clinical trial is to study the metabolic effects of intravenous infusion of the ketone body, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), in patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy control subjects. Moreover, the investigators plan to examine regulatory mechanisms of 3-OHB that may be related to diabetic ketoacidosis. The hypotheses are: 1. 3-OHB related inhibition of lipolysis is impaired in patients with type 1 diabetes. 2. Intravenous infusion of 3-OHB affects signaling pathways involved in the metabolic regulation in patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. 3. 3-OHB infusion improves cardiac function in patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. The effects of 3-OHB will be investigated by isotopic tracers examinations, fat and muscle biopsies and blood samples. To evaluate effects on cardiac function echocardiography will be performed.
An intervention study on the effect of dietary guidance with focus on implementing recommended food texture, at the department of Eating and Swallowing difficulties, Region Midtjylland, Denmark. Energy- and protein intake, Weightloss, Bodymass composition, Fluid balance and Activities of Daily Living (ADL), will be measured by Bioimpedance spectroscopy, interviews and a questionnaire.
Investigators will in a crossover study test the health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast, isocaloric carbohydrate-rich breakfast or no breakfast in young overweight women. Determination of satiety and hunger using visual analog scores (VAS), collection of blood samples and 2x 24 hours food logs will be collected.
The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP), serum procalcitonin (PCT) and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in the initial investigation of patients acute hospitalized with suspected community-acquired-pneumonia (CAP)
Antibiotic resistance has been identified by the WHO as one of the biggest threats to the health of the world population. In Denmark, there has been an increasing focus on optimizing antibiotic consumption in recent years, but despite significant efforts, total consumption has increased in the hospital sector, especially regarding consumption and in the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Currently, a pneumonia diagnosis is primarily based on clinical symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever and sputum production, combined with X-ray of the lungs, relevant blood tests and microbiological analysis of sputum samples. X-ray is however an imprecise diagnostic tool, and sputum assays responses are available after 2 days. Sputum can be cultivated to determine the bacterial agent. However, the sputum samples are often of poor quality and many patients cannot deliver a sample. A recently published Danish study shows, that only half of the patients at the ED have sputum samples collected for culturing and none of them had the antibiotic treatment adjusted based on the microbiological results of the sputum. This study's hypothesis is that point-of-care-polymerase chain reaction (POC-PCR) is superior to standard care on the prescription of targeted pneumonia treatment.
Acute pyelonephritis is important to recognize and treat quickly. Today the diagnosis is primarily clinical and often challenging. Sometimes acute pyelonephritis is complicated by obstruction leading to hydronephrosis. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ultrasound scanning conducted by a radiologist can diagnose acute pyelonephritis. Also, the investigators will investigate whether health care professionals with basic ultrasound skills can diagnose hydronephrosis by point-of-care ultrasound scanning in patients suspected of acute pyelonephritis.
The Endocuff study aims to show an increase of the number of detected adenomas in screening colonoscopies when a endocuff vision (Arc Medical Design Ldt Leeds England) is used.
The feasibility study will investigate the potential of online recruitment for a randomized trial of the effectiveness of Mindhelper. Recruiting participants for intervention studies is increasingly difficult, as there are many commercials and research projects competing for people's attention. Thus, participation rates in research projects are generally declining. The widespread access to the internet, especially among adolescents, offers a new and attractive alternative strategy to recruit participants for intervention studies. The feasibility study will inform us whether it is possible to recruit young people with mental health problems who are not familiar with Mindhelper and then randomize them to use or not to use the website (block randomization). Furthermore, it is necessary to know whether it is possible to follow the two groups over time and assess relevant outcomes. We aim to answer the following questions: - Is it possible to identify and recruit young persons (15-25 years of age) in need of mental health promotion via social networking sites such as Facebook.dk? - How quickly is it possible to recruit people for the study through networking sites? - Is it possible to ensure that the intervention group uses the Mindhelper website (>75%) and minimize the likelihood that the control group uses it (<25%)? - Is it possible to follow the two groups to obtain information at first follow-up at one week (T2)? The results will inform the study design of the effectiveness study. If the feasibility study shows (i) that it is possible to recruit and randomize young people with mental health problems within a specified period, (ii) that both groups will follow their randomization into either the intervention or control group, and (iii) that it is possible to follow both groups to obtain follow-up data, then the main study will be conducted as an online recruited randomized effectiveness study (online RCT). If the feasibility study shows that the conditions are not ideal for achieving these goals, we will conduct a longitudinal panel study of Mindhelper users comparing different types of users.
