There are about 11304 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Denmark. 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 clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous intravenous administration of low dose iloprost versus placebo for 72-hours, in 450 mechanically ventilated patients with infectious respiratory failure. The study hypothesis is that iloprost may be beneficial as an endothelial rescue treatment as it is anticipated to deactivate the endothelium and restore vascular integrity in patients suffering from respiratory failure caused by endothelial breakdown, ultimately improving survival.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of the inotropic drug named dobutamine, in patients with wild-type Transthyretin Amyoid Cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt). The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the effects of increasing dosages of dobutamine infusion on cardiac output and filling pressures in patients with symptomatic ATTRwt. - Safety of dobutamine infusion in this patient population. Participants will be given increasing dosages of dobutamine infusion, and its effect on cardiac output and filling pressures will be assessed non-invasively by echocardiography, and invasively by right heart catheterization, simultaneously.
This is a double-blind randomized clinical trial comparing the pain reduction of individuals treated with BTX-A and placebo as well as evaluating possible changes in neuroinflammatory biomarkers. The trial lasts 16 weeks, with a 4-week baseline phase and a 12-week randomization phase. Four visits are planned: 1) Introduction and baseline data collection, 2) Medical evaluation and treatment assignment, 3) Follow-up with biomarker analysis, and 4) Trial conclusion interview. 80 participants will be included and randomized 1:1.
The aim of this randomised clinical trial is to evaluate the short and longterm effects of a transdiagnostic mentalization-based intervention (Lighthouse MBT Parenting Program) compared to care as usal (CAU) for parents with a mental disorder in adult mental health service.
The goal of this intervention study is to compare the effects of fermented dairy and non-fermented dairy on bowel habits and cognitive performance in healthy women with defecations every other day or less. Furthermore, the study aims to explore underlying mechanisms linking the gut and the brain. In addition, a sub-study will be conducted to explore differences in gut and brain measures between women with daily (reference group) and few (intervention group) weekly bowel movements, respectively, and to explore associations between measures of gut- and brain function.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of a combination of 12 months treatment with CGM (Freestyle Libre 2) with hypo and hyper alert in combination with a smart pen for bolus insulin (NOVOpen6) on HbA1c and time in range (TIR) in T2DM patients with baseline HbA1c >53 mmol/mol (7. 0%, eAG 8,6 mmol/l) as compared with standard care.
With this trial, the aim is to assess the benefits and harms of a non-surgical intensive weight loss intervention that includes total dietary replacements, behavioural support and weight-loss medication compared with bariatric surgery for people with severe and complex obesity. The interpretation of the results will help inform future care pathways for people with obesity in whom bariatric surgery is currently the only available effective treatment option.
In this feasibility study, our primary goal is to assess the practicality of implementing a plant-based food diet intervention for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The intervention consists of three key components: 1) Educational materials (videos), 2) Participation in a cooking workshop introducing plant-based meals, complete with recipes, and 3) Daily delivery of plant-based dinner meals over a four-week period. This comprehensive investigation covers the testing of recruitment procedures, randomization, intervention elements, outcome assessments, and participant retention. Adopting a daily plant-based diet involves introducing several new plant-based foods and making adjustments to the existing diets of patients with RA. Consequently, the feasibility study will also aim to explore the acceptability of the intervention and whether a full-scale RCT is practically possible.
Background: Chronic widespread pain is challenging in the management of the patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), affecting approximately one third of this patient population. However, pain is not always caused by disease activity (inflammation) but can be associated to central pain mechanisms as seen in fibromyalgia (FM). FM is characterized by widespread pain and tenderness; often accompanied by disturbed sleep, fatigue, cognitive impairment, emotional distress and multiple symptoms from various organ systems. Among patients with RA the prevalence of concomitant FM is reported to be 12-17% compared to 1-3% in the general population. In general the pain, felt by the fibromyalgia patients is considered to be due to lower pain thresholds because of abnormal central pain processing. Pain reported by RA patients with concomitant FM could potentially be explained by this phenomenon. Little is known about RA patients fulfilling criteria for FM. Muscles-studies of FM patients have not found any histopathological explanation of the pain felt, however an old study of muscle changes in RA patients found changes that could explain muscle pain. Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a condition associated with autoimmune diseases, and evidence suggests that SFN is likely to contribute to the pain observed in FM. Objectives: To determine the diagnostic test accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of both muscle- and skin-biopsies for fibromyalgia phenotyping and detection by clinical referral (RA with concomitant FM) as the reference standard (i.e. fulfilment of 2016 FM criteria). Data collection: Will be done as study subjects are included and stored in REDCAP. Eligibility criteria for participants and settings where the data will be collected: RA patients will be assessed in the daily clinic in Esbjerg and Odense and examined for concomitant FM (I.e. satisfying the 2016 criteria for FM). Patients will afterwards be invited to participate in the study. Inclusion will continue until 25 RA patients fulfilling FM criteria and thus based on the expected prevalence at least 25 (- and maximum 50) RA patients not fulfilling FM critieria has undergone the index tests. Whether participants form a consecutive, random, or convenience series: Participants form a consecutive series. Description of the index test and reference standard: Twenty-five RA patients with concomitant FM and more than 25 (- maximum 50 patients) RA patients not fulfilling FM criteria will undergo the index tests. Muscle and skin biopsies will be performed in each group using standardized techniques. The reference standard will be fulfillment of the 2016 criteria for fibromyalgia. Estimates of diagnostic accuracy and their precision: Regarding muscle- and skin biopsies sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value will be calculated using two times two table. Regarding skin biopsies, median values in the two groups (RA +/- FM) will be compared using a two-sample t-test.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to examine whether single blastocyst transfer in the first cycle after oocyte retrieval (immediate) is non-inferior to single blastocyst transfer in a subsequent cycle (postponed) in stimulated or programmed cycle frozen embryo transfer (FET). The primary outcome is live birth rate.
