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.
The purpose of this study is to examine differences in selected psychiatric/psychological variables between a sample of unemployed young adults who have dropped out of high school and a sample of college students.
This study is a four armed randomized controlled trial (RCT) where the main purpose is to investigate the effect on muscle strength and changes in body composition in overweight (BMI ˂ 25) "not regularly exercising" women aged 18-65, after 12 weeks of Body Pump (BP), compared with an inactive control group. The study will also measure energy expenditure during one session of BP. At the same time, the project will investigate the effect on muscle strength and changes in body composition in group training with, respective without, a personal trainer (PT). H0: There`s no different between the groups after 12 weeks of Body Pump and traditional strength training with and without a personal trainer on muscle strength and muscle mass in adult overweight females. H1: There is a different between the groups after 12 weeks of Body Pump and traditional strength training with and without a personal trainer on muscle strength and muscle mass in adult overweight females.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of ticagrelor versus placebo in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether exercise reduces the postprandial effects of an unhealthy meal on heart function and endothelial function. Both healthy people and type 2 diabetes subjects will during three days either carry out two different sessions of exercise training or not before ingesting an unhealthy meal high in saturated fat and fast carbohydrates. The two different exercise training modes used are high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity training (MIT) Hypothesis: Exercise training in advance of an unhealthy meal will improve endothelial- and cardiac function in healthy and type 2 diabetes individuals. HIIT will reduce the negative postprandial effects on the endothelium more than MIT.
This is an international multi-center, prospective, observational registry with consecutive patient enrollment intended to determine outcome Parameters within 30 days after transaortic transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a condition characterized by memory problems more severe than normal cognitive changes due to old age, and less severe than dementia. Reduced working memory (WM) is regarded as one of the core symptoms of an MCI-condition. Recent studies have indicated that WM can be improved trough computer based training. Objectives: The objective of the study is to evaluate if working memory training is effective in improving working memory in elderly MCI-patients. Further, to evaluate if cognitive training relates to structural changes in the white and gray matter of the brain, assessed by structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Cognitive phenotypes related to memory impairment and progression to dementia will also be investigated. Patients and Methods: The proposed study is a blinded, randomized and controlled trail that will include 90 elderly patients from a Memory Clinic diagnosed with MCI. The groups will be randomized to either training or a placebo version. The intervention is computerized working memory training performed for 45 minutes over 25 sessions. Neuropsychological assessment and structural MRI will be performed before, 6 and 12 months after training. Relevance: Currently there is no known treatment available for mild memory impairment/MCI, and few studies on specific cognitive training in MCI-patients have been performed. The proposed study has received funding from a Norwegian Health Region. If computer based training results in positive changes to memory functions in MCI patients this may represent a new, cost-effective treatment. Secondly, evaluation of training induced structural changes to grey or white matter may improve our understanding of the mechanisms behind effective cognitive interventions in MCI patients.
The prevalence of paediatric obesity has increased over the last two decades and with it, an increased diagnosis of lifestyle-related diseases in children and adolescents. High intensity interval training has recently been explored as an alternate to traditional aerobic exercise in adults with chronic disease and has potential to induce rapid reversal of subclinical disease markers in obese children and adolescents. High intensity interval training has recently been explored as an alternate to traditional aerobic exercise in adults with chronic disease and has potential to induce rapid reversal of subclinical disease markers in obese children and adolescents. Goal: The primary aim of this randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a high intensity interval training intervention on myocardial function, vascular function and visceral adipose tissue in obese children and adolescents at baseline, three and twelve months. Method: Multi-centre randomised controlled trial of 100 obese children and adolescents in the cities of Trondheim (Norway) and Brisbane (Australia). Participants will be randomised to (1) high intensity interval training, (2) moderate intensity continuous training or (3) nutrition advise. Participants will partake in supervised exercise training and/or nutrition consultations for 3 months. Measurements for all study endpoints will occur at baseline, 3 months (post intervention) and 12 months (follow up). Scientific Significance : This randomised controlled trial will general substantial information regarding the effects of exercise intensity on paediatric obesity, specifically the cardio-metabolic health of this at-risk population. It is expected that communication of results will allow for more robust and realistic guidelines regarding exercise prescription in this population to be formed while outlining the benefits of high intensity interval training on subclinical markers of disease.
To determine the tolerability and efficacy of eletriptan in patients who had discontinued oral sumatriptan due to lack of efficacy or intolerable adverse events (AEs) during previous clinical treatment (not a controlled trial).
Isolated Systolic Hypertension (ISH)is the dominating hypertensive disease in elderly people. Much attention has recently been drawn to the strong relationship between the systolic blood pressure and cardiovascular morbidity. In previous clinical studies carried out in individuals with normal blood pressure at baseline SER100 decreased primarily the systolic blood pressure. It is hypothesized that the effect on systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients will be larger or equal to the fall seen in normotensive patients.
The study will assess the safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy of different intra-tumoral dosing regimens of LTX-315; a lytic-peptide that induces long-term anti-cancer immune responses, as monotherapy or in combination with ipilimumab or pembrolizumab.
