There are about 5161 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Norway. 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 goal of this observational study is to gain more information about the aetiology and progression of mastitis and breast inflammation, in order to develop evidence-based clinical guidelines and treatment plans, especially concerning judicious use of antibiotics. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do clinical symptoms differ between inflammatory and infectious mastitis? - What is the microbial composition in human milk, and does it change before, during, and after episodes of mastitis? - Does the bacterial composition change due to antibiotic treatment? - Are all mastitis episodes treated with antibiotics bacterial mastitis? - Do mothers with recurrent mastitis have a distinct microbial composition? - Are there immunological markers that can differentiate between bacterial and inflammatory mastitis? Researchers will compare breastfeeding women with and without mastitis to see if the microbiological composition in milk and on the skin of the breast and breast nipple differs.
The ambition of the ABEL feasibility study is to test new "green prescription" follow-up models that can get more women with obesity, regularly active, with improved health and physical fitness. The project will evaluate the effect on exercise behavior, total physical activity level and mental and physical health outcomes by four different follow-up models by an exercise professional: HIGH-dosage in-person exercise coaching (four session monthly), MEDIUM- dosage in-person exercise coaching (two sessions monthly) LOW-dosage in-person exercise coaching (one session monthly). The main aim of this study is to evaluate which of these follow-up models is most effective on improving women's exercise adherence, total physical activity level, physical fitness, and mental and physical health. This will be weighed against the cost of each of the follow-up models, in order to identify the best model from a socioeconomic cost-effectiveness perspective. Moreover, the study will identify potential barriers among patients, General Practitioners and exercise professionals that prevents optimal outcome from the current green prescription model.
The goal of this clinical trial is to look at the effect of SGLT2 (Sodium glucose transporter 2) inhibition in patients receiving a kidney-transplant 6 weeks earlier at Oslo University hospital. Rikshospitalet. Investigators will search for answers along three pathways: Can SGLT2 inhibitor 1) preserve glomerular filtration rate (GFR), 2) reduce interstitial fibrosis in the kidney, and 3) favorably improve metabolic risk factors for graft failure such as visceral obesity, glucose intolerance and high blood pressure? The participants (N=330) will be randomized to either dapagliflozin 10 mg or placebo o.d. in a blinded fashion. Researchers will than use kidney transplant biopsies, measured GFR, blood pressure sampling, glucose tolerance test (OGTT), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA scan) and estimated GFR from the two groups in comparison, to evaluate the effect treatment. The participants will be followed for a total of 3 years.
The aim is to compare the daily intake of Calsium (Ca) + vitamin D with and without daily optimal efficacy dose (OED) of Jarlsberg on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and bone markers (BM) to Osteopeni patients (OP). - The study population consists of OP-patients of post-menopausal women and men above 55 years of age. OP patients are defined as patients with a T-score below 0.0, but larger than -2.5. - The study will be performed as a randomized, single-blinded Norwegian multicentre trial with stratified semi-cross-over design with gender and site as stratification factors. The OP-patients included in the study will be allocated to one of the two treatment groups by block randomization with random block size between 2 and 6. - Women in post-menopausal age have a daily OED Jarlsberg of 45 gram and men in the same age interval have a daily OED of 55 gram. - The main response variable will be the change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD),total Osteocalcin (tOC) and different bone markers (BM). - Participants, who fulfil the inclusion criteria, do not meet any of the exclusion criteria and willing to give informed consent to participate will be included and receiving 40µg vitamin D and 500 mg Ca tablets per day, but asked not to eat Jarlsberg cheese the following week. During this week demographic data, bloodsampling for measurement of Osteocalcin and BM and diet registration will be performed.In the clinical study, all the included patients will continue with Ca+ vitamin D, but half of the patient will additionally receive daily OED of Jarlsberg cheese. After 16 weeks, all the patients will receive both Ca+vitamin D and OED of Jarlsberg for addionally 16 weeks. The total duration of the study will be 32 weeks for the patients initially allocated to Jarlsberg and 48 weeks for those allocated only to Ca+vitamin D. The patients will be investigated initially and every 16 weeks. - A total of 30 patients will be included in each of the two groups.
Most guidelines recommend the use of a vapor barrier when wrapping and isolating hypothermic patients from the environment, and this is especially important if the patient is wearing wet clothing. The vapor barrier will contain moisture evaporated from the wet clothes of the patient and increase the humidity. Once the humidity levels reach 100%, the evaporation and thereby the evaporative heat loss will stop. The theory is that the addition of a vapor barrier will reduce the amount of heat loss and contribute to more efficient rewarming of wet, hypothermic patients. We aim to investigate how much more efficient a wrapping model with active external rewarming is with the addition of a vapor barrier.
Ultrasound-guided suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block (SMNB) will be performed in paediatric patients with or without the aid of ultrasound guidance. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to visualize the spread of the local anaesthetic (LA) spread after suprazygomatic injection and to verify LA contact with the maxillary nerve in the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF).
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term administration of BBP-418 in patients with LGMD2I/R9. The study will include patients ages 12 to 60, consistent with the existing preclinical toxicology profile. This will encompass the significant majority of existing diagnosed patients based upon the established epidemiology of the disease.
In the here suggested study, the aim is to test non-surgical treatment of advanced periodontal disease with a chitosan brush with or without chitosan gel in patients with advanced periodontal disease having responded poorly to a more conventional treatment strategy, with the aim to hinder the progression of bone loss around the teeth.
The goal of the study is to develop predictive algorithms and digital biomarkers to capture disease fluctuations in (prodromal) dementia with lewybodies (DLB) patients and to improve treatment, diagnosis and prognosis of the study drug Ambroxol, used in the ANeED study. This project is an additional study to the ANeED study, registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under NCT04588285.
The objectives of this retrospective dental record study, are to increase knowledge of the oral health, - history and -needs of children enrolled at the Childrens Advocacy Centers (CAC)by: - assessing if it is possible to identify oral indicators of child maltreatment. - assessing if and to what degree the children enrolled at CAC are in need of close, adapted and trauma sensitive treatment and follow up at the Public Dental Health Service (PDHS) - assessing if there is a need for new routines in terms of interdisciplinary collaboration and sharing of information between CAC, Child Welfare Services (CWS) and PDHP. By increasing knowledge in regard to child maltreatment and oral health, the study will raise PDHS and CAC ability to prevent, detect and help children being victims of maltreatment, and contribute to strengthen PDHS, CAC and CWS interdisciplinary interaction for the benefit of children at risk.
