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 brief, the right management of complex or recurrent pilonidal disease (PD) is still controversial. In our institution we treat these conditions with Bascom's cleft lift surgery. Though this approach for most parts is beneficial, a large proportion of patients will suffer from prolonged post operative healing. We have published some positive results on treating non-healing postoperative wounds after cleft lift surgery with autologous fatty cell transplantation. The overall aim of the project is to investigate whether the addition of autologous fat cell transplantation in the surgical treatment of PD reduces the incidence of patients with prolonged postoperative healing. In a double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial, we will investigate the effect of injections of freshly harvested autologous fatty cells in addition to Bascom's cleft lift operation versus Bascom's cleft lift operation alone.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if 3 dose of oral antibiotics administrated the first day after a vaginal delivery with a second degree obstetric tear will decrease the risk of infection and/or wound dehiscence compared to women with 3 doses of placebo treatment.
The purpose of this study is to investigate feasibility aspects of an intervention targeting problems in managing daily tasks due to mild-to-moderate poststroke cognitive impairments. We will specifically address uncertainties related to intervention content and delivery, and trial design and conduct.
The purpose of this investigation is to see if outpatient initiation of noninvasive home mechanical ventilation combined with closed telemonitoring and follow-up in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is non-inferior to initiation during admission to the hospital The primary hypothesis is that outpatient intiation of noninvasive home mechanical ventilation combined with closed telemonitoring and follow-up is non-inferior to initiation during hospitalization in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Full thickness macular hole, FTMH, is a retinal disease involving the fovea that cause central vision loss, metamorphopsia and central scotoma. The most effective treatment for FTMH is a pars plana vitrectomy and a tamponade with expansile gas. It is well known that vitrectomy accelerates cataract development. Vitrectomy can therefore be combined with cataract surgery in the same setting, a procedure that is shown to be safe, although increased inflammation and rates of central macular edema have been reported in some studies. Cataract surgery can also be performed prior or deferred until compromising the visual acuity after vitrectomy. Cataract-surgeries are more challenging in vitrectomized eyes due to lack of vitreous support and risk of loose zonules. The normal practice for FTMH at our department is therefore cataract surgery followed by vitrectomy 4 weeks later. A combined phaco-vitrectomy procedure is offered to patients who are at the labor market or when general anesthesia is required for the surgery. In non-presbyopic patients (<50 years) only vitrectomy is performed. The visual improvement after surgery seems to be dependent on preoperative characteristics, such as the preoperative visual acuity, size of the hole and the duration of symptoms. The duration of symptoms is a known prognostic factor, and recently shown that the longer duration, the worse visual outcome. The precise timeframe for the optimal final outcome is not known. The combined surgery is known to be safe in the treatment for epiretinal membrane, where a intravitreal gasfill is not necessary. However, the use of gas in FTHM surgery causes risk of increased movement of the newly inserted intraocular lens. This can lead to increased anterior segment inflammation with ensuing vision threatening cystic macular edema, as mentioned above. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether small FTMH with a short duration of symptoms have better visual outcome with a prompt combined phako-vitrectomy (within two weeks), compared to the current standard of care of receiving cataract surgery as soon as possible and vitrectomy 4 weeks later. How the delay of surgery affects the visual outcome will also be investigated, by including patients with longer duration of symptoms. The main hypothesis is that the chance of better visual outcome is higher for macular holes with early surgery compared to the current standard of care and that the duration of symptoms has significant impact on the visual outcome. Method The study consists of 2 parts. 1. Patients with idiopathic FTMH <400µm in diameter (as defined by The international vitreomacular traction study group classification), with a duration of symptoms of less than 30 days will be randomized into 2 groups: Group1: Combined phaco-vitrectomy within 2 weeks (after referral). Group 2: Current standard of care with cataract surgery as soon as possible and vitrectomy 4 weeks later. 2. Group 3: Patients with small holes <400µm, with a duration of symptoms of more than 3 months and less than one year will be included in this part of the study. These patients will be treated and followed as in Group 2. They will be reviewed a total of 7 times in Group 1 and 9 times in Group 2 and 3: a preoperative examination followed by 6/8 postoperative examinations. Additional examinations will be scheduled if needed.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of iberdomide maintenance to lenalidomide maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).
A non-pharmacological, non-blinded, randomized cohort study that will investigate the effect of Virtual Reality technology on the patient experience during oocyte retrieval. The primary objective of the trial is to investigate the impact of Virtual Reality technology on the patient experience
A study to assess the safety and efficacy of K-321 in participants with FECD after simultaneous cataract surgery and descemetorhexis.
The goal of this trial is to compare graded return to sport, or pain guided activity to rest in youth with Osgood Schlatter. The main objectives are: - to assess the graded return to sport, or pain guided activity on symptoms (pain and function) at six months compared to rest The secondary objectives are to assess the impact of progressive return to sport or pain guided activity on: - Muscle strength and performance - Anterior knee pain provocation - Sports participation - Physical activity The exploratory objectives are to assess the impact of progressive return to sport on ultrasound imaging characteristics of OSD.
This is a study evaluating the positron-emitting radiopharmaceutical 18F-mFBG compared to 123I-mIBG scintigraphy for imaging of neuroblastoma
