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.
Cognitive and emotional symptoms are often seen in the acute phase of a stroke. The prevalence of such symptoms later and the mechanisms explaining the symptoms are not fully known. The causes of poststroke dementia are likely to be multifactorial (Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006). The investigators want to include all patients with first ever stroke without significant cognitive decline prior to the stroke (IQCODE cut-off 3,7) and follow them up for one year. At baseline we will make stroke classifications, measure neurological deficits according to NIHSS, evaluate cognitive and emotional function and make registrations of vascular risk factors, including precerebral color duplex scan with measurement of IMT in CCA. The investigators will then randomize the patients into multifactorial vascular-risk-factor-intervention in the hospital or care as usual in the primary health care. 8-12 months after stroke onset, survivors will undergo new examinations to evaluate neurological, cognitive and emotional functions, as well as MRI and SPECT.
This patient follow-up programme was designed to describe the extent of Symbicort use in patients prescribed Symbicort as maintenance and reliever therapy in routine clinical practice in comparison with the already documented use of Symbicort as maintenance and reliever therapy in clinical therapies
The purpose of this study is to examine the the effect of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor Rosuvastatin on left ventricular remodeling in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
This study will compare the safety and efficacy of Brivaracetam at flexible dose with Placebo in subjects suffering from Epilepsy.
This study will assess safety and efficacy of AEB071 combined with everolimus in a CNI-free (calcineurin inhibitor) regimen in renal transplant recipients.
The objective of this open-label extension is to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment of the rotigotine patch in subjects with advanced-stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease
Patients with metastatic malignant melanoma will receive CP-4055 200 mg/m2/day intravenously (IV) on Day 1-5 every four weeks and sorafenib 400 mg b.i.d. (twice daily) every day until complete response or disease worsening/progressing.
The natural history study of the rare lysosomal disease alpha-mannosidosis will answer the question; why the rare disease develops as it does?
The purpose of this Clinical Evaluation is the continued assessment of the XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® and XIENCE PRIME™ EECSS) with the primary focus on clinical outcomes in the treatment of female patients with de novo coronary artery lesions, and the characterization of the female population undergoing stent implantation with a XIENCE stent.
