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.
Patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and pneumonitis often have hypoxemic respiratory failure and a need of supplementary oxygen. Guidelines recommend controlled oxygen, for most patients with a recommended interval of SpO2 between 92 and 96 %. We aimed to determine if closed-loop control of oxygen was feasible in patients with COVID-19 and could maintain SpO2 in the specified interval.
This study seeks to explore ways to strengthening the interdisciplinary and inter sectoral collaboration in stroke rehabilitation through the application of Functional Independence Measure® (FIM) and common interdisciplinary patient related tasks. The study will be evaluated through interviews with staff, participant observation and quantitative patient data.
There is still no one who has studied how oral contraceptive use affects recovery in trained women after repeated high-intensity workouts. Consequently, a well-controlled study is needed. The project is designed as a controlled cohort study, where 20 oral contraceptive users will be compared with 20 non-users. After initial preliminary examination and habituation to the test procedures, the subjects will start the intervention in week 2 of their menstrual cycle / active contraceptive pill cycle. Before and 3h, 24h and 48h after 3 intense strength training sessions performed 2 days in a row, blood samples will be taken, muscle soreness measured and performance tests performed. The day before the first training session and over the 4 trial days, the subjects will receive a standardized diet.
This study is a retrospective cohort study. The PICU children will include all surviving children who were admitted to the PICU of Copenhagen University Hospital between 1st of January 2002 and 31st of December 2016. A link to a questionnaire including the Strengths-and-Difficulties parental questionnaire evaluating neurodevelopmental- and behavioral impartment as well as question on current impairments and health, will be sent to parents. For the children aged between 11 and 17 years an additional self-rated questionnaire will be provided.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy of targeted individualised physiotherapeutic treatment on aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal pain. This trial asks a critical, previously unaddressed, question of clinical importance about management of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain secondary to aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Many breast cancer survivors taking AIs experience muscle and/or joint pain, which may cause many to stop taking AIs and may inhibit exercise or physical activity, despite its known health benefits. Physiotherapeutic treatment is considered a standard management strategy for many MSK pain conditions, in which targeted specific exercise therapy is now as an evidence-based management strategy with proven effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Thus, referral to physiotherapy would be a natural strategy in women who experience MSK pain as an adverse effect to AI therapy. However, it is unclear if physiotherapeutic treatment has similar effects on AI induced MSK pain as in primary MSK pain. Two systematic review (one with a meta-analysis) have assessed the effect of different pain management strategies for AI-induced MSK-pain and found great uncertainty in the effects of exercise, relaxation techniques and acupuncture. They also found limited evidence on the subject and moderate to low quality of the studies included. The evidence on the subject is clearly limited but the need for a treatment option to minimize the side-effects of the AI medication real and necessary. Targeted individualised physiotherapeutic treatment is tailored for the affected (painful) tissue/joint/region specifically and is based on extensive experience and evidence from MSK physiotherapy in rheumatic and orthopedic patient population. Targeted individualised physiotherapy treatment take into account the individual patient, her constitution, the painful tissue/region/joint (e.g. its biomechanics, physiological properties, and inflammatory activity), and is adjusted according to day-to-day variations in pain and progressed based on the interaction between changes in symptoms and function and tissue healing. Such approach is expected to yield a greater effect on MSK pain, than a generic exercise program. Further, targeted treatment programs are delivered by trained physiotherapists, who have specific clinical training and experience in clinical management of patient and handling MSK pain, which is also expected to yield better clinical outcomes than programs delivered by people without clinical training. Altogether it is very likely that a targeted physiotherapy treatment will be of significant benefit to breast cancer survivors with AI induced MSK pain. The aim is to compare targeted individualized physiotherapeutic treatment and medical care with medical care alone on aromatase inhibitor associated musculoskeletal pain in female breast cancer survivors. It is hypothesized that targeted physiotherapeutic treatment and medical care reduces musculoskeletal pain significantly in women with aromatase inhibitor associated musculoskeletal pain when compared to medical care alone. The plan is to include 120 participants from the oncology department at Rigshospitalet, Denmark. Participants will partake in the study for a total of 26 weeks. During the first 12 week the intervention group will receive the physiotherapeutic treatment twice a week. The medical care visits are place at the first visit to the clinic, week 13 and week 26.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the link between insulin resistance and alterations in skeletal muscle mitochondrial redox homeostasis
The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction among Danish student teachers on their mental well-being. The study is a randomised, controlled trial including 100 teachers.
Investigation of novel non-CE marked intermittent catheters. The study was a randomized, single blinded, cross-over investigation comparing two new catheters for females with a comparator catheter.
The purpose of this study is to collect real-world evidence on the performance of the SOLTIVE™ Premium SuperPulsed Laser System for laser lithotripsy in ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and mini PCNL for kidney and ureteral stones.
Research show that inactivity during hospitalization is the norm and that the negative effects on muscle mass and the fitness of the patient will take a long time and hard work to recover afterwards. Especially for weaker elderly patients, just a few days in bed could mean that they are not able to take care of themselves afterwards, with increased care expenses and increased risk of relapse as a consequence. Even though this is known, the work to motivate patients to be active during their hospitalization is limited to few training sessions with only the most vulnerable patients. No tools are today available for objectively tracking and motivating patients to be active during their stay. Having such a professional tool would not only motivate but also shift the attention of the health professionals towards the importance of physical activity in the treatment of the patient. The aim of the studys is to investigate if patients hospitalised for medical disease will increase their time spent out of bed during hospitalisation through simple visual feedback about physical activities from a mobile bedside device.
