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.
BACKGROUND A Cochrane review from 2003 found that about 30% of people 65 years or older each year fall and that number is even higher for elder people living in institutions. Falls are the cause of 95% of all hip fractures, resulting in prolonged hospitalization and prolonged disability. In patients who are referred to the emergency room after unexplained fall, a study of 564 patients showed that 80% of the patients had vestibular symptoms characterized by balance problems, nausea, impairment, vomiting, and dizziness. 41% of the patients had dizziness suggesting a dysfunctional vestibular system called vestibular dysfunction. In patients with vestibular dysfunction, vestibular rehabilitation (VR) can reduce fall risk. Several studies show however that the elderly has a decreased compliance in relation to the performance of home exercise. A solution to support the older vestibular rehabilitation process and to maintain the achieved level of functionality after the rehabilitation process is the computer-training program "Move It To Improve It" (MITII). Based on individual studies and tests therapists develop a personalized rehabilitation program permanently corrected, modified and adjusted. The system generates feedback to the therapists at hospital with information about the person's daily training and scores of individual exercises. The Web cam makes it possible to make video footage and pictures to be used in the feedback information. The system also establish direct communication between users and therapists. The web community provide the framework for a telerehabilitation system, which means that the hospital can service more users in the same period. The ph.d. consist of three studies which has the purposes: To compare a computer exercise program (Mitii) with conservative home-training according to printed instructions in the rehabilitation of patients with vistibular dysfunction in an outpatient clinic To investigate whether the effect of vestibular rehabilitation is preserved three months after the completion of supervised training in an outpatient clinic for specific vestibular rehabilitation and whether a computer assisted home training program (Mitii) is superior to printed instructions in this respect To evaluate patient experience and barriers for the use fo the computer assisted rehabilitation of patients with vestibular dysfunction
Using the traditional and hitherto used uncemented hip prostheses achieved good clinical results, but one of the drawbacks is the risk of fracture in the femoral shaft in indbankning of the prosthesis (1-2%). In addition, the bone scan demonstrated that in the years after surgery dropped almost 30% of bone mass in the femoral shaft. This bone loss increases the risk that in the years after surgery, the increased risk of fractures around the prosthesis and in addition to impeding the described bone replacement prosthesis later. The newly developed prosthesis is anchored in the femoral neck and thus not involve the femoral shaft. This ensures a more physiological or normal weight transfer to the femur bone. This contributes to bone mass in long large extent preserved in the years after surgery, so you have a better opportunity later to make a new prosthesis surgery with good results. The new prosthesis should be capable of simultaneously reducing the incidence of thigh pain in the first year after surgery.'
This is a randomized comparison of PFA and TKR in treatment of isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis.
This pilot study examines safety and efficacy of a simple procedure for treatment of stress urinary incontinence. A muscle biopsy is taken from the thigh, minced and injected into the urethral sphincter.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of patient outreach program on the proportion of time patients with MTC experience moderate or severe AEs during first 12 months of treatment with vandetanib
This randomized controlled trial will outline the advantages and disadvantages of the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) compared to the transvenous ICD.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether interleukin-2, interferon-alpha in combination with bevacizumab are effective in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
The purpose of this Trial is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Investigational Device for the treatment of ruptured Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) of the knee compared to Allograft.
Patients with stage 1 & 2 endometrial cancer are treated with surgery. Despite the fact that disease is confound to uterus, unfortunately some of these patients may relapse and die of their disease. Postoperative radiotherapy cannot improve survival. Chemotherapy has shown survival benefit in more advanced stage disease (stage 3 & 4). This study evaluates if one can improve survival in intermediate and high risk early-stage patients by offering them postoperative chemotherapy. This is a randomized phase 3 trial where effect of postoperative chemotherapy is compared with postoperative observation alone (standard strategy). Substudy: Translational research
Copsac has discovered that asthmatic exacerbations are as closely linked to bacterial as to viral infection. The current study will examine whether treatment of asthmatic exacerbations with macrolide antibiotics - in the abscence of clear clinical bacterial infection which would in any case precipitate antibiotic treatment - has an effect on either the particular episode, or subsequently. Macrolide antibiotics are chosen for ease of administration ensuring high compliance, antibiotic appropriacy, and anti-inflammatory properties.
