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 the effect of the standard rehabilitation offered by three hospital rehabilitation units in Norway, one in Trondheim, one in Ålesund and one in Levanger, compared to an interval treadmill training program. The subjects participating in the study are patients with myocardial infarction. The maximal oxygen consumption of the subjects will be tested before and after the training period.
3D ultrasound is a new modality used in image guided neurosurgery. a multicentre study is started for the evaluation of this tool as a means for achieving total resection of brain tumors at greater safety.
Previously untreated patients with malignant melanoma receive a new chemotherapy drug currently under development. CP-4055 is given intravenously on days 1-5 every four weeks until complete response or disease progression.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether equal subanesthetic doses of racemic ketamine is equally effective on females and males after surgical removal of third molars
Overweight and obesity is increasing in most countries, including Norway, and the optimal diet for reducing weight is under discussion. The present study in overweight and moderate obese individuals compares a low glycemic load diet with a standard low-fat diet (as recommended from the National Nutrition Council) in an open, randomized trial over 12 months, with changes in weight loss and changes in cardiovascular risk markers as endpoints.

To evaluate whether Arista AH which contains microporous polysaccharides used as a powder applied to the wound area during mammary surgery reduces the amount of bleeding and the duration of surgery. Both mammae are operated on in the same procedure, and one side without Arista serves as control side
Systemic sclerosis (ssc) is characterised by extensive tissue fibrosis. Using drugs that are capable of inhibiting fibroblast activity may be beneficial if administrered early in the disease course. Thirty adult patients with early SSc will be treated with the endothelin-1 antagonist bosentan for 6 months.Disease progression will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of high and moderate intensity exercise training after coronary bypass surgery. The subjects are randomised to training at either 60-70% or 85-95% of their maximal capacity daily for four weeks. Primary outcome measure is change in maximal aerobic capacity, measured as change in maximal oxygen consumption, after the training period. Secondary outcome measures are change in quality of life, heart rate variability, ultrasound measures of the heart and blood variables, including endothelian markers.
