There are about 3961 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Finland. 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.
The main purpose of this study is to improve the diagnostics of celiac disease and reduce the need for invasive endoscopic studies in children. Further, the investigators aim to investigate the natural history and risk of complications in children with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity and to create a large scientific database.
The purpose of this study is to compare safety and efficacy of Green Light PVP (Photoselective Vaporisation of the Prostate) compared to open prostatectomy when treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The aim of the current study is to compare the effictiveness of three different psychosocial therapies for treating functional disorders caused by indoor air problems.
The objective of this study is to collect clinical data on safety and performance of ACUITY X4® leads when used in a standard clinical setting. It is a prospective, non-randomized, observational multicenter study evaluating standard of care. For Post Market Clinical Follow up (PMCF) purposes the 3 month implant success rate, adverse events and basic parameters of the lead will be assessed. The cohort of subjects included in this evaluation will be the first 200 subjects which are indicated for PMCF in Rally X4 to receive an ACUITY X4® lead implant. Study endpoints: Phrenic Nerve Stimulation (PNS) related CFR through 6 months post-implant (Defined as: rate of freedom from loss of function or operative system revision due to unacceptable PNS threshold) Lead-related Complication-Free Rate (CFR) from Implant through 3 months post-implant.
To evaluate the effect of erenumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine days in adults with chronic migraine.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuing erlotinib beyond disease progression in combination with chemotherapy is beneficial for NSCLC patients who have EGFR mutant disease or who have responded to EGFR TKI.
The "EUropean Comparative Effectiveness Research to assess the use of primary prophylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (EU-CERT-ICD)" is a modular research project to study the effectiveness of prophylactic ICDs in a prospective study, a retrospective registry, and meta-analyses of existing evidence on the subject.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether a high-dose vitamin D3 oral bolus (2000 micrograms) produces marked vitamin D receptor target gene expression response and whether there is large inter-individual variation.
Braunwald defines dyspnoea as an abnormally uncomfortable awareness of breathing. Breathing discomfort, and its varying degrees of severity, is the one of the most disturbing symptoms patients can experience; and it is one of the main complaints in the patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED). Dyspnea has a variety of underlying etiologies, like cardiac, pulmonary or metabolic etiologies or a combination of them, since several diseases can cause dyspnea like for instance heart failure (HF), asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) is collectively defined as a gradual or rapid change in heart failure (HF) signs and symptoms resulting in a need for urgent therapy. Heart failure (HF) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized world. The prevalence of symptomatic HF is estimated to range from 0.4 to 2.0% in general European population. The incidence increases rapidly with age, and in Europe. Characteristics, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of HF patients admitted to hospital have been adequately described, in Europe and in the United States. The Euro Heart Failure Survey (EHFS) I with 11 327 patients described the demographics of acutely hospitalized HF patients. The ADHERE registry has data on over 100 000 hospitalizations for AHF from the USA. In-hospital mortality was 4 and 7%, in ADHERE and EHFS I, respectively. This same sensation of breathlessness is what also drives patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to the ED. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation accounts for approximately 1.5 million ED visits in the United States per year. It is the third most common cause of hospitalization, with an estimated 726 000 hospitalizations in 2000 in the USA. Previous studies have demonstrated important differences between guideline recommendations and actual management of COPD exacerbation, either in the ED or during hospitalization. The diagnosis in front of a dyspneic patient in the ED remains a challenge, because of a low sensitivity of the clinical signs associated with the aging of the population and the variety of underlying diseases. Little is known about the Epidemiology of dyspneic patients in the ED at the European level. Diagnosis, prevalence and treatment of the patients may vary among European countries.
This study will compare the effectiveness of best available surgical treatment with best available endovascular treatment in adults with critical limb ischemia (CLI) who are eligible for both treatment options.
