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 investigate whether a mindfulness based 8-week course for stress reduction, known as MBSR course, given to all staff at an inpatient psychiatric ward influences the level of stress and burnout and the psychosocial atmosphere at the ward. The design is an intervention trial with repeated measures and control group.The focus is the interaction between unit and individuals. All staff at both wards were invited to participate. The intervention consists of 8 weekly group meetings where the participants learn different ways of practicing mindfulness and do home practice between the meetings. The control intervention is 8 weekly workshops in affect-consciousness. Data are collected through self-reporting questionnaires on mindfulness, work- and health-related topics at six different points. The patients at both wards answers one questionnaire about ward atmosphere at the same points. Data wil be analyzed on SPSS statistic programme.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the proportion of responders (that is, greater than or equal to [>=] 30 percent reduction from Baseline in blood phenylalanine [Phe] level) to treatment with Kuvan® (sapropterin dihydrochloride) 20 milligram per kilogram per day (mg/kg/day) for 28 days.
Ultrasound (US) is widely used as a diagnostic tool in a hospital setting. In a medical department, diagnosis like heart failure or most kinds of heart diseases, hypervolemia, hypovolemia, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, ascites, diseases in the gall bladder/bile tract, urine tract and venous thrombosis are common. US is the key diagnostic tool in these diagnosis, and on early diagnosis is crucial both on behalf of the patients well-being, and for hospital logistic reasons. 1. The aim is to study the clinical use of pocket sized US as a screening diagnostic tool in an department of internal medicine. Method: All patients admitted (in certain preset periods) to Department of medicine will be screened with pocket sized US by expert user. Changes in diagnoses, as well as medications as a result of US screening will be the endpoints. US findings will be validated against standard echocardiography, or standard US/CT/MRI performed at the Radiological department. 2. The aim is to study the clinical use of pocket sized US as a screening diagnostic tool in a department of cardiology. Method: All patients admitted (in certain preset periods) to Department of cardiology will be screened with pocket sized US for heart disease, pericardial and pleural effusion. Examinations by expert users. Specific findings could be myocardial dysfunction as heart failure, cardiomyopathies, regional dysfunction due to ischemia, valvular dysfunction, atrial enlargement, and pleural/pericardial effusion. Changes in diagnoses, as well as medications as a result of US screening will be the endpoints. US findings will be validated against standard echocardiography in all. 3. As in 1), but examination by non-expert users compared to expert users.
Alcohol abuse is associated with a variety of clinical diseases, but studies on prevalence of different somatic diseases among alcohol abusers are lacking. Studies on populations in an out-day patients' clinic are also lacking. The investigators aim to study somatic health standard in an out-day patients' clinic population of alcohol abusers, with regard to prevalence of different kinds of somatic diseases, and how the interaction of somatic and psychiatric treatment can influence on patients quality of life. Clinical examination including blood samples and echocardiographic examinations in all participants, other additional examinations (as x-ray, CT or MRI if indicated by clinical findings).
This trial is conducted in Europe and in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NN1250 (insulin degludec) in subjects with type 1 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to examine changes in ventilation and airway pressures during conventional bronchoscopy of intubated patients.
This study is being carried out to see if the study medication, rosuvastatin, is effective in treating familial hypercholesterolaemia in children and adolescents, and to determine the long term (over 2 years) safety, tolerability and efficacy of the study medication in these patients. This study will also measure levels of drug in the blood and see how well it is tolerated. This is known as pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis. At baseline only a small number of patients will participate in a single dose PK phase over 24 hours. In order to see if this medication works, a control group of healthy siblings will help the researchers to compare certain results.
The purpose of the study is together with the BIMOH (NCT01314768) RCT study to evaluate whether training of GPs in the detection and treatment of medication overuse headache leads to improved care for these patients as compared to "business as usual".
The purpose of this study is to compare manualised physical exercise conducted in groups to manualised cognitive-behavioral therapy conducted in groups as treatment for panic disorder with or without agoraphobia.
