NCT ID: NCT00695058 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Urinary Incontinence

Transcutaneous Mechanical Nerve Stimulation (TMNS) by Vibration in the Treatment of Incontinence

TMNS
Start date: August 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

During transcutaneous mechanical nerve stimulation in spinal cord injured men an increase in pressure was observed in the external urethral sphincter along with an increase in bladder capacity. In a subsequent study it was demonstrated that TMNS in women could induce pressure increment of the external urethral sphincter. A pilot study have since shown that after 6 weeks of stimulation 24 out of 33 women suffering from urinary stress incontinence were able to contract their pelvic floor muscles and had become free of symptoms. Another pilot study has shown promising effect on the overactive bladder syndrome. The present study aims to treat urinary incontinence and includes 3 groups of patients with 40 patients in each group: Women suffering from urinary stress incontinence, women suffering from urge incontinence and men suffering from urinary incontinence after a prostatectomy. A medical vibrator is used and in each group the subjects will be randomized to active treatment or placebo treatment. In women the stimulation will be performed at the perineum every day for 6 weeks with an amplitude of 2 mm and a frequency of 100 Hz. In men the vibration parameter/location will be determined by the results of a pressure profile study also included. Results will be evaluated on the basis of questionnaires, micturition diaries and diaper tests. If we are able to demonstrate a significant reduction in the incontinence symptoms in the subjects we asses that vibration can be a way of reestablishing a normal function of the pelvic floor muscles and bladder function in incontinent patients.

NCT ID: NCT00653367 Withdrawn - Lung Cancer Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Chronic Pain After Nerve Section During Thoracotomy

Start date: December 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate if controlled nerve section reduces chronic pain after thoracotomy.

NCT ID: NCT00560547 Withdrawn - Anemia Clinical Trials

A Study of Once-Monthly Intravenous Mircera in Hemodialysis Patients With Chronic Renal Anemia.

Start date: October 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This single arm study will assess the long-term maintenance of hemoglobin levels, safety and tolerability of once-monthly intravenous administration of Mircera in hemodialysis patients with chronic renal anemia. Patients currently receiving darboepoetin alfa or epoetin alfa maintenance treatment will receive intravenous Mircera at a starting dose of 120, 200 or 360 micrograms/4 weeks (based on the ESA dose administered on week-1). Subsequent doses will be adjusted to maintain hemoglobin levels within the target range of 10.5-12.5g/dL. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

NCT ID: NCT00520624 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Exercise-induced Laryngomalacia

Treatment of Exercise-induced Laryngomalacia in Elite Athletes

EIL
Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Treatment of exercise-induced laryngomalacia (an obstruction of larynx during physical activity) in elite athletes using two different treatments. The study is randomized with control groups.

NCT ID: NCT00506701 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease

Effect of Tadalafil in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease Patients Suffering From Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension

Start date: February 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Tadalafil may lower the pulmonary artery pressure in patients with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease and secondary pulmonary hypertension and thereby improve patients quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT00458315 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Unknown Primary Tumors

Cisplatin/Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine +/- Avastin in Patients With Unknown Primary Tumor

Start date: May 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Cisplatin, Paclitaxel, Gemcitabine +/- Avastin (Bevacizumab) in patients with unknown primary tumors.

NCT ID: NCT00451945 Withdrawn - Cervical Cancer Clinical Trials

New Indications for Ultrasound in the Staging of Cervical Cancer

Start date: March 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose is to investigate and evaluate two new diagnostic methods using ultrasound in the staging of cervical cancer. 1. 3-D-ultrasound of the tumour to estimate its volume and local spread 2. Fusion of PET/CT and ultrasound to evaluate and biopsy lymph nodes.
