There are about 5161 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.
Double blinded, randomized, controlled, phase IV intervention trial. Both groups will receive a quadratus lumborum Block (QL), using ropivacaine 3.75 mg/mL in the intervention group, and sterile sodium chloride in the control group. The aim of study is to investigate the effect of a QL Block on the perioperative pain during postbariatric abdominoplasty.
Study aims to support development of evidence based health care in Norway through evaluating recently proposed technological improvements in cervical cancer control before their routine use. SESAM II study evaluates the accuracy of vaginal self-sampling for high risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing compared with a physician-taken sample.
It is estimated that 45-80 % of nursing home residents have substantial pain at any given time. Residents with impaired cognition have been found to report chronic pain more often, more frequent and more severe, compared to residents with normal cognition. Approximately 3/4 of permanent residents in nursing homes in Norway have developed dementia. The burden of dementia is often compounded by painful conditions. Despite over a decade of research on the subject, inadequate pain assessment and management remain significant problems among institutionalized older adults, with and without dementia. The poor pain management in patients with dementia has been attributed, at least in part, to difficulties with, and lack of, pain assessment in this population. Therefore, this study seek to determine the effect of regular pain assessment.
The study compares the effect of a group-based activity with an individual work-out activity on work participation.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term effects of endovenous steam ablation (EVSA). Postoperative data at 3-4 year follow-up will be collected from patients treated with EVSA.
Two dietary approaches, very low energy diets (VLEDs) and ketogenic low carbohydrate diets (KLCDs), have the ability to suppress appetite. The suppression of appetite typically observed during these diets is believed (but not clinically proven) to be due to ketosis, a condition where circulating concentrations of ketone bodies are increased due to a higher production of ketones in the liver. Little is known about the potential mechanisms through which ketosis may lead to appetite suppression in VLEDs and KLCDs. A 'ketogenic diet' typically contains less than 50 grams carbohydrate per day, yet ketosis has been seen in subjects who consume diets with a carbohydrates ranging between 59-192 grams per day. Although an association between ketosis and appetite suppression has been established, the minimum level of ketosis and maximum carbohydrate intake that is still associated with appetite suppression remains unknown and should be explored. The ability to increase carbohydrate intake while maintaining a suppressed appetite will allow dieters to consume more carbohydrate-rich food that is beneficial for health without feeling more hungry. The study, 'can Appetite Suppression be achieved using KEtogenic Diets with more carbohydrates?' (ASKED) aimed to: - to identify the maximum carbohydrate intake that is still associated with appetite suppression in a low energy diet and to determine the impact of a higher carbohydrate intake on appetite suppression, ketosis, body composition, and resting metabolic rate. A - to evaluate the impact of weight loss while in and out of ketosis on markers of appetite (appetite related hormones and appetite sensations measured using visual analogue scales).
The purpose of the project is to compare the management of 3 and 4 part proximal humerus fractures (PHF) with an angular stable plate (Philos) with that of an intramedullary nail (Multiloc) in light of complications, radiological, economical, functional and clinical outcome.
A multicentre, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Tolerability of Two Dosing Regimens of AllerT, a Combination of Contiguous Overlapping Peptides Derived from Bet v 1, in Adults with Birch Pollen Allergic Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis
The primary aim of this trial is to investigate adipose tissue function in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a common endocrine disorder in young women. The pathogenesis behind PCOS is complex and only partly understood, and deeper mechanistic insight is needed. Insulin resistance is a central feature of PCOS, and recent studies have suggested that this is linked to aberrant adipose tissue function. Exercise training has been found to improve the symptoms in PCOS, but we need more knowledge about why. While processes involved in skeletal muscle oxidative remodeling are well described, it is to a large extent unknown whether the oxidative capacity of human adipose tissue is modified by endurance training. The women included in this study will be matched (for body mass index, body weight, and age) to participants in another study. This will enable the investigators to do a comparison between cases (women with PCOS) and controls (women without PCOS) at baseline, and to assess the responses to exercise training in adipose tissue.
The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety and efficacy data for the combination of ribociclib + letrozole in men and pre/postmenopausal women with HR+HER2- advanced breast cancer and no prior hormonal treatment for advanced disease..
