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 determine whether candesartan cilexetil are effective prophylactic treatment of episodic Cluster headache
Delayed anticipatory muscle activity response in deep low back and abdominal muscles has been observed in patients with low back pain, indicative of a pathological condition. Muscle activity onset is traditionally recorded by intramuscular electromyography, but there is a need for a less cumbersome recording method in large clinical studies. The purpose of this experimental study is to explore whether high-frame rate m-mode ultrasound and tissue velocity imaging could measure anticipatory muscle responses ("onset") in the abdominal muscles reliably and comparably accurate to intramuscular EMG.
A comparison of the effect of on demand treatment with a pectin-containing natural product (Aflurax) with that esomeprazole (Nexium)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether outreach integrated treatment of first episode schizophrenia was more effecive than standard outpatient treatment.
Cancer patients on morphine for chronic pain, with side effects or unsatisfactory pain relief, will be rotated to Methadone. We will try to find out what is the best methode to rotate, and the equivalent dosage.
Patients with a primary unilateral inguinal hernia are randomized to Lichtenstein's operation or Prolene Hernia System to repair their groin hernia. Follow up for three years with a total number of 4 clinical examinations. End point is postoperative pain and recurrences.
Maximal strength training has been shown to increase muscular strength, muscular volume and work economy. An 8 week maximal leg press training regime will be conducted on cardiac heart failure patients to evaluate whether they increase their maximal leg press strength, work economy, serum testosterone and quality of life. The study hypotheses are that: 1. Aerobic work capacity will increase due to increased work economy, without increases in maximal oxygen uptake. 2. Strength training will increase serum testosterone.
The study investigates whether endurance training breathing 100% oxygen gives a additional improvement of maximal oxygen uptake in stable Angina Pectoris patients, compared to training without extra oxygen supplementation. In addition work economy, stroke volume and cardiac perfusion is measured. The hypothesis of the study is that increased oxygenation of the air increases performance, stroke volume, work economy and cardiac perfusion.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether additional task specific physiotherapy treatment and a self administrated home training program results in better balance compared to traditional follow up care.
The study is based on a hypothesis that there is interaction between the activity in the immune system and in the mind. To study this, the investigators register different measures for activity in the immune system on patients unselectedly admitted to an acute psychiatric ward. The psychiatric statuses and diagnoses of these patients are carefully defined as well.
