NCT ID: NCT06297850 Recruiting - Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trials

Accuracy of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Patients With Diabetes. A Prospective Observational Study

Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the accuracy of the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) compared to standard point-of-care (POC) blood glucose measurements in patients with diabetes in patients who during their hospital admission can experience circulatory impairment. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Do CGM measurements have a decreased accuracy compared to standard blood glucose measurements in periods with circulatory impairment? Participants will be asked to wear a blinded CGM device (Dexcom G7, Dexcom Inc.) during their stay in the hospital but will receive standard care of their diabetes. The CGM device will be worn for up to 10 days.

NCT ID: NCT06297447 Recruiting - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

Keeping it Simple Study (KISS)

KISS
Start date: March 11, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Problem: The number of patients living with chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain has steadily increased over the past decade with costs rising equally. Long-standing pain is associated with significant maladaptive beliefs about pain, psychological characteristics and associated behaviors which involve structural and functional neurobiological characteristics which share common pathophysiological mechanisms as chronic pain. The investigators recent priority setting partnership investigated the research priorities from 1000 patients with chronic MSK pain, relatives, and clinicians. Better pain education was rated as one of the three most important research areas. Solution: Pain science education has the potential to target maladaptive psychological and behavioral components that may contribute to the maintenance of chronic pain. The KISS project will evaluate the effect of a pain neuroscience education program (PNE4Adults) on rehabilitation outcomes in patients with chronic MSK pain. This intervention has the potential to change beliefs and behaviors surrounding pain in patients with chronic MSK pain. If this is successful in disrupting maladaptive cycles contributing to chronicity, this may improve outcomes for many thousand citizens.

NCT ID: NCT06297109 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Malocclusion, Angle Class II

Maxillary Patient Specific Implants in Bimaxillary Orthognathic Surgery

Start date: September 12, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Orthognathic surgery is a type of jaw surgery where a surgeon cuts the bones of the upper and lower jaw and places them better. There are two ways they can put the bones in the correct place and keep them in place after the surgery. One way, called the "conventional method", is to use a 3D-printed guide called a splint to set the bones in the right place and then screw the bones together using metal plates that the surgeon bends into shape to fit during the surgery. Another way is to use a patient-specific implants (PSI) that has been 3D-printed in titanium beforehand that because of its unique shape both places and keeps all the bones in the correct place after they are screwed in. Both ways of doing it are golden standards, meaning they are already approved. Measuring the accuracy of the surgery is done by comparing the positions of the bones after the surgery with the intended positions of those bones, according to the surgical plan. The closer the achieved position of each bone is to the intended position, the more accurate the result. Measuring the stability of the surgery is done by comparing the positions of the bones after the surgery with the positions of the bones two years later. The less the position is changed, the more stable the result. The goal of this clinical trial is to see how accurate and stable PSIs are in orthognathic surgery when the maxilla is split in 3 pieces, and to compare them with the conventional method in patients with overjet or overbite. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does using PSIs provide accurate movements of the maxilla pieces? - Does using PSIs provide more accurate movements of the maxilla pieces than the conventional method? - Does using PSIs provide stable movements of the maxilla pieces after 2 years? - Does using PSIs provide more stable movements of the maxilla pieces than the conventional method? Participants will get orthognathic surgery as part of their normal orthodontic treatment. Investigators will compare the PSI and conventional groups to see if the PSIs are more accurate than the conventional method.

NCT ID: NCT06296888 Active, not recruiting - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

Radiofrequency Balloon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: Durability of Pulmonary Vein Isolated and Clinical Outome

RABAAF
Start date: October 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder affecting 2-4% of the adult human population. AF is a disturbance in the electrical impulses of the heart - an electrical disturbance commonly originating from the pulmonary veins. Normalization of the heart rhythm with anti-arrhythmic drugs often fail and is frequently associated with side effects. Therefore, a treatment termed ablation by catheters via an inguinal vein has been devised and is increasingly being used for the treatment of AF. The cornerstone of this treatment is electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins so that the nocuous electrical impulses from the pulmonary veins cannot cause a disturbance in the heart rhythm and initiate episodes of AF. This treatment is called pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Recent studies have shown that PVI is better than anti-arrhythmic drug treatment in the prevention of recurrence of AF, but despite substantial improvements in techniques and tools only 60-70% are cured from AF by a single PVI procedure, and in around 80% of patients who require additional catheter ablation, durable isolation of all the pulmonary veins has not been achieved. Improved tools for durable PVI are therefore required. A novel catheter to achieve PVI called the HELIOSTAR™ radiofrequency balloon ablation catheter has shown promising clinical results with a favorable safety profile, but the durability of PVI has not been evaluated. Therefore, we aim to investigate the long-term durability of PVI by the radiofrequency balloon and the clinical outcome following the procedure. In this study, patients with AF referred for catheter ablation will undergo an initial PVI treatment using the radiofrequency balloon catheter. All patients will undergo a repeat electrophysiology (EP) study after 4-6 months to determine to durability of PVI. Patients will be issued with a 48-hour heart rhythm monitor at 3 and 12 months after the initial PVI. Patients-reported effects on quality of life by AF related symptoms will be evaluated using a specialized questionnaire provided approximately every third month throughout the 12 month follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT06295120 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Community-acquired Pneumonia

The Optimal Antibiotic Treatment Duration for Community-acquired Pneumonia in Adults Diagnosed in General Practice in Denmark (CAP-D)

CAP-D
Start date: November 13, 2023
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to identify the optimal treatment duration with phenoxymethylpenicillin for community-acquired pneumonia diagnosed in general practice. Eligible participants are adults (≥18 years) presenting in general practice with symptoms of an acute LRTI (i.e., acute illness (≤ 21 days) usually with cough and minimum one other symptom such as dyspnea, sputum production, wheezing, chest discomfort or fever) in whom the GP finds it relevant to treat with antibiotics. Consenting patients who meet all the eligibility criteria will be randomised (1:1:1:1:1) to either three, four, five, six or seven days of treatment with phenoxymethylpenicillin 1.2 MIE four times daily.
