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.
In this pilot study, the investigators aim to examine if antenatal breastmilk expression from week 34 of pregnancy is a safe and feasible procedure for the mother and fetus. Furthermore, the investigators want to evaluate breastfeeding rates.
Advantages of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) compared to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, fewer infections and readmission, and lower costs. It is well documented in TKA-surgery that high pain responders (HPR), evaluated using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), have higher postoperative pain responses compared to low pain responders (LPR). These HPR-patients constitute a vulnerable high risk patient group and potentially benefit from targeted treatment. Currently, the distribution of HPR- and LPR-patients and their association with acute pain following UKA is not well investigated. The knowledge that this research project generates is essential to determine how studies with analgesia interventions should be designed. In the future this will contribute in targeting treatment for high risk patient groups to reduce pain and improve postoperative mobilization, and ultimately decrease length of hospital stay in patients undergoing UKA. By targeting treatment, a potential overtreatment is also avoided. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of high- and low-pain responders, defined by a PCS score > 20 and ≤ 20 respectively, as well as the acute postoperative course of pain for these groups after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
A one-arm feasibility study was conducted to test if violinists would accept to play with an identified ergonomic chinrest (EC) with the brand name Kréddle every day for two weeks. Every day the participants had to divide their total playing time equally between EC+ (ergonomic chinrest with shoulder rest) and EC- (ergonomic chinrest without shoulder rest) each day.
A randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, study comparing the analgesic effect of intranasal CT001 to intranasal sufentanil, intranasal ketamine or placebo for treatment of acute pain in adults undergoing surgical removal of an impacted mandibular third molar, where bone removal is judged to be needed.
Study designed to observe the usage patterns, efficacy and safety of REKOVELLE® in women naive to IVF and ICSI, undergoing their first Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) treatment cycle with REKOVELLE® in routine clinical practice.
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy in the liver. Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a significant risk factor and may be associated with inferior outcome. According to the Danish national guidelines, ablation should be offered patients with early HCC (tumor < 3 cm) in a cirrhotic liver, who are not transplant candidates. However, the effect of size of the HCC tumor and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) as etiology are insufficiently investigated. Purposes 1. Investigate association between HCC tumor size and survival and recurrence after ablation. 2. Investigate survival and recurrence after ablation in patients with HCV-related HCC compared with HCC due to other etiologies. Methods This study is based on data from the Danish Liver and Bile Duct Cancer Database (DLGCD) and the Danish Database for Hepatitis B and C (DANHEP) and the laboratory database (DANVIR), which collectively include information on patient characteristics, tumor characteristic, laboratory results, and information regarding ablation, HCV status, and antiviral treatment, respectively. Perspectives Ablation has been widely used for decades, but studies investigating the effect of ablation for HCC in patients with HCV and size of HCC are lacking. This study will contribute considerably to the level of evidence and may impact both Danish and international guidelines for HCC treatment.
A multi-centre, randomised, controlled crossover design. The total study duration for the individual subject was approximately 9 weeks, consisting of four site visits and two 4-week test periods at home. Visits 0 and 1 could be performed on the same day. For visit 2 and 3, catheterisations were performed in a hospital setting for bladder emptying assessment and collection of urine samples (the latter only in Denmark). Visit 1 and 2 were followed by a home-use test period, followed by visit 3 which terminated the study.
The goal of this randomized, controlled crossover study was to assess the performance of a new micro-hole zone catheter compared to a conventional 2-eyelet catheter in 42 male intermittent catheter users. The main objective of this study was to demonstrate superiority of the micro-hole zone catheter in terms of number of flow-stop episodes and residual volume at first flow-stop, with the catheterization performed by a health care professional in a hospital setting compared to a conventional two-eyelet catheter.
The Screen Free Time with Friends Feasibility Trial is a study designed to inform development of a definitive trial. The feasibility trial aims to 1) examine the feasibility of an intervention aimed to limit recreational screen media use and promote more time with peers after school and during weekends among 10-11 year old children, 2) examine participant recruitment and retention rates, 3) examine the feasibility of the data collection plan and completeness of the compliance and outcome assessment, and 4) obtain baseline and follow-up data on the planned full trial primary outcome. The Screen Free Time with Friends Feasibility Trial will be conducted as a non-randomized single group feasibility trial including children, their parents and school and afterschool personal from 3rd grade school classes from different schools in the Region of Southern Denmark. The goal is to include a representative sample of children and parents in the participating 3rd grades, and thus there will be no individual level inclusion and exclusion criteria. A process evaluation and outcome measurements will be conducted to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, the data collection plan, and compliance. A baseline- and follow-up assessment will be carried out for some measurements, while others will be collected continuously during the intervention period.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the Popliteal Plexus Block (PPB) effect on motor nerve branches of the sciatic and femoral nerve, when using different volumes of local anesthetics for PPB. The hypothesis is that increasing the volume of anesthetics used for PPB will spread to the sciatic nerve leading to a reduced muscle strength in the lower leg and decreased nerve conduction velocity in the nerve to gastrocnemius muscle (the tibial nerve) and the nerve to anterior tibial muscle (the deep fibular nerve). The effects will be evaluated by maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the lower leg muscles and by recordings of the compound muscle action potential (cMAP) of the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles - a motor nerve conduction study. In addition, evaluation of PPBs effect on the femoral nerve is done by MVIC of the quadriceps femoris muscle, cMAP of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles and by a sensory nerve conduction study of the saphenous nerve.
