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.
This study aims to understand if certain cognitive biases and heuristics are present in patients with knee osteoarthritis being treated with open label placebo (saline injections in the knee). A predefined survey will investigate the affect heuristic and group interviews patients who have responded well or not so well respectively will be used to examine if other cognitive biases or heuristics are present. Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, while heuristics are tactics, or mental shortcuts to aid in the decision-making process.
1 study: A pilot study of 8 adults with ileostomy was included in this trial of "first in human" with InterPoc™, an absorbent intestinal tampon safety and feasibility in humans with ileostomies. Study 2: A study in total with 24 participants, evaluating both the safety but also the functionality of InterPoc in humans with ileostomies.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the changes in body composition in head and neck cancer patients during treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the rate of lean body mass loss and how is it associated with changes in muscle strength and functional performance? Is the lean body mass loss impacted by adding chemotherapy to the radiation treatment? Participants will be asked to undergo five body composition scans during treatment and undergo tests for muscle strength and functional performance before and after treatment.
An outstanding scientific question, that merits further investigation, is whether dilation of intracranial arteries is implicated in the pathogenesis of cephalic pain in migraine. Here, we hypothesize that experimentally-induced dilation of intracranial arteries using intake of sildenafil (a potent vasodilator) can induce cephalic pain with migraine-like features in people with migraine, who prior to the infusion are administered erenumab (anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor monoclonal antibody.

Here, we hypothesize that experimentally-induced dilation of intracranial arteries using intravenous infusion of levcromakalim (a potent vasodilator) induces cephalic pain with migraine-like features in people with migraine, who prior to the infusion are administered erenumab (anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor monoclonal antibody).
Enabling an objective measure of diet, covering individual foods as well as different dietary patterns, in large-scale studies has great potential; this would for instance improve our understanding of the role of diet in long-term disease prevention and care in people with type 2 diabetes. The overarching aim of this study is to develop a framework from which dietary intake can be assessed, both as single foods and dietary patterns, in cohort studies among people with type 2 diabetes. This study is performed to assess which collection strategy best reflects long-term dietary intake and to weigh this up against feasibility and costs in large-scale studies.
Childhood obesity is a major health concern and lifestyle intervention is recommended as the cornerstone in the weight loss treatment. However, only limited knowledge exists in relation to characterization and follow-up of children who decline participation in a lifestyle intervention. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term development in BMI z-score for children with obesity who decline to participate in a lifestyle intervention. This study identified approximately 170 children with obesity who declined treatment in a community-based lifestyle intervention. The development in BMI z-score for these children will be compared to children enrolled in the lifestyle intervention (i.e. treatment) and children who were never invited. Data from different sources will be used to answer the research question (intervention registries, health check-ups at school and Danish registries).
The aim is to investigate the accuracy of manual diagnostics of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by comparing it to BPPV diagnostics in mechanical rotational chair (TRV chair). VNG (videonystagmography) goggles will be used in both scenarios. Furthermore, the investigators will examine the importance of angulation and velocity in relation to the diagnostic outcome.
This study is a nationwide cross-sectional survey on pain and satisfaction after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Please find the full protocol uploaded on ClinicalTrials.gov
The aim of this research is to test the acceptability and feasibility of a shared decision making intervention and a patient decision aid to support patients with kidney failure, relatives, and health professionals in planning and deciding about end-of-life care together.
