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.
Agitation is associated with a number of acute psychiatric conditions, and frequent in acute psychiatric admissions. It is associated with violence towards others, and strongly associated with in-patient suicides. The main aims of the study are to assess different clinical presentations of agitation at admittance, and to assess the consequences of these different clinical presentations during the first three days of the stay.
QualGeP (KVALAP) is a quality register in Viken Research network for Geriatric Psychiatry. The objectives of the register are to enhance our knowledge of old persons with severe psychiatric disorders, and to secure an optimal medical evaluation, treatment and care for these patients. The data in the register will be used for quality assurance and for research. Aims: - Quality assurance - Further development of our diagnostic and screening tools - Contributing to improving the treatment, with and without drugs - Contributing to improving the dialogue and collaboration between primary healthcare and hospitals
This is a retrospective, descriptive analysis of (1) 30 day postoperative results of surgery for lung cancer, (2) 30 day outcome predictors - compared to an earlier similar study in the same hospital (St Olav University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway).
The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors for insulin resistance and to investigate the influence of insulin sensitivity on development of cardiovascular risk markers like blood pressure, heart rate, body build (weight, BMI, waist-hip ratio, skinfold thickness), reduced insulin sensitivity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, and sympathoadrenal activity or manifest cardiovascular disease among young men during 10-20 years.
This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in comparison with interferon beta-1a (Rebif) in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either ocrelizumab 600 mg or matching placebo intravenous (IV) as 300 mg infusions on Days 1 and 15 for the first dose and as a single infusion of 600 mg for all subsequent infusions every 24 weeks, with placebo injections matching interferon beta-1a SC three times per week; or interferon beta-1a 44 mcg SC injections three times per week (with placebo infusions matching ocrelizumab infusions every 24 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to compare manual and magnetic navigation in ablation for atrial fibrillation.
The primary objective of the study is to determine physician reported persistence with the Avonex PEN at Month 12/End of Study as well as determining factors associated with persistence. The secondary objectives for this study are as follows: To evaluate the tolerability for treatment administration of the Avonex PEN at Months 3, 6, and 12; To evaluate patient quality of life (QoL) while using the Avonex PEN for treatment administration at Months 3, 6, and 12; To evaluate clarity of directions for use of the Avonex PEN at Month 3; To evaluate ease of use and the patient's assessment of the injection procedure with the Avonex PEN at Months 3, 6, and 12; To evaluate patient reported adherence at Months 6 and 12; To evaluate physician reported persistence at Month 6; To evaluate overall patient satisfaction with the use of the Avonex PEN for treatment administration at Months 3, 6, and 12; To evaluate patient reported fear of injection at Months 3, 6, and 12; and To evaluate the percentage of patients switching from caregiver to self-injection at Months 3, 6, and 12.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is assess the effect of a psychological based treatment model on eating behaviors and motivation for lifestyle changes in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Hypothesis: As compared with usual care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational interviewing-based (CBT/MI) intervention program will reduce dysfunctional eating behaviors and increase pre-surgical intrinsic motivation for lifestyle changes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of siltuximab in patients with multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD).
The Compare-Acute trial is a prospective randomised trial in patients with multivessel disease, who are admitted into hospital with a ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction. The purpose of the study is to compare a FFR guided multivessel PCI taking place during the primary PCI with a primary PCI of the culprit vessel only. Patients will be enrolled after successful revascularisation of the culprit vessel. Patients that have at least one lesion with a diameter of stenosis of more than 50% on visual estimation, feasible (operators judgement) for treatment with PCI in a non-infarct related artery, will be randomised either to the FFR guided complete revascularisation arm or staged revascularisation by proven ischemia or persistence of symptoms of angina. Approximately 885 patients will be entered in the study. Study hypothesis: FFR-guided complete percutaneous revascularisation of all flow-limiting stenoses in the non-IRA performed within the same procedure as the primary PCI or within the same hospitalisation will improve clinical outcomes compared to the staged revascularisation, guided by prove of ischemia or clinical judgment, as recommended from the guidelines.
