There are about 5117 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Norway. 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.
Mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency remains a problem in many parts of the world, including Norway. Of particular concern are fertile, pregnant, and lactating women. The Norwegian Dairy Council developed a digital iodine-specific food frequency questionnaire (I-FFQ) for the assessment of iodine intake levels, but it has yet to be validated. The main objective was thus to investigate the relative validity of the I-FFQ by comparing estimates of iodine intake obtained from the I-FFQ against a single 24-hour recall (24HR) and urinary iodine concentration (UIC) in fertile women.
Patients with long covid referred for physical rehabilitation at the Norwegian Sports Medicine Centre - Football Association in Oslo, Norway, were assessed for postviral asthma.
Background: Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and a double-looped semitendinosus gracilis (hamstring group) graft are commonly used for ACL reconstruction. Short-term and mid-term studies show little to no significant difference between the two groups, and there are a few long term studies to compare results between the two grafts. Purpose: To compare the results after using either BPTB grafts or hamstring grafts 18 years after ACL reconstruction. Study design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence II. Methods: 114 patients with ACL rupture between 2001 and 2004 were randomized to reconstruction with either BPTB graft or a hamstring graft. Patients were operated at four major hospitals. The 18-year follow-up evaluation included isokinetic testing of muscle strength, patient-reported outcome measures, clinical knee examination and an assessment of radiological osteoarthritis using the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. Hypothesis:Hypothesis is that there will be no difference in the long-term outcome between the two groups, as well hypothesis of no difference in patients with prosthesis after ACL reconstruction, arthrosis difference in operated knees and the rate of graft failure between the two groups. Previous follow-up studies showed a significant difference in total flexion work between the two groups, so detecting a persistent difference between the groups will be point of interest.
This study investigates the potential benefit of re-irradiation of patients with locally advanced rectal recurrences, by a prospective phase II clinical, imaging and translational research study.
Seaweed is becoming increasingly popular in the Western part of the world, especially sushi wrapped in nori and seaweed salad, also called wakame. There are limited data on the iodine content of different seaweed products in the Norwegian Food composition table. Furthermore, there is limited available research regarding in vivo bioavailability of iodine from seaweeds. The objective of this study is to assess whether iodine from a sushi meal (with nori, Porphyra spp), and a wakame salad (Undaria pinnatifida) has similar bioavailability as a potassium iodide reference supplement of similar iodine content.
Clinical proof of concept of dual-frequency ultrasound imaging for detection and visualization of prostate cancer.
The aims of this observational survey are to 1) collect data on the prevalence of mental and substance use disorders, and 2) investigate risk factors and consequences of mental and substance use disorder
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the imaging feasibility and safety of 212Pb-NG001.
A single group treatment phase 2 single-arm no-masking study to assess safety and efficacy of a short-term oral treatment with theophylline (ATC-no. R03D A04) in terms of improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, health-related quality of life, cardiac performance and respiratory function in male and female adolescents aged 16 to 25 years with a Fontan-type surgical palliation of univentricular congenital heart disease.
Intellectual disability (ID) is a diagnosis characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social and practical adaptive skills. The disability originates before age 18 years. The prevalence of mental ill-health among adults with intellectual disabilities is higher than the general population. Individuals with ID use psychotropic medication extensively, but studies indicate that less than one out of three who use psychotropic drugs have a psychiatric diagnosis. The drugs are usually prescribed by a regular general practitioner. People with IDs will often require health- and social services throughout their lifetimes. Studies report worse mental and physical health among people with IDs compared to the general population, in addition to more unmet healthcare needs and more difficulty accessing healthcare. General health surveys in Norway do not include people with intellectual disabilities, and studies of health indicators in this group are largely lacking. Further, the unique organization of services for this group in Norway calls for specific research efforts. This project will use multinational health indicators for youths and adults with IDs in a biopsychosocial context in attempt to identify unmet health care needs to improve services. The project will focus on mental health and challenging behavior and how the related healthcare needs are met. We will also look at the relationship between mental health, behavioral problems and workforce employment amongst people with intellectual disabilities.
