There are about 5130 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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the imaging feasibility and safety of 212Pb-NG001.
A single group treatment phase 2 single-arm no-masking study to assess safety and efficacy of a short-term oral treatment with theophylline (ATC-no. R03D A04) in terms of improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, health-related quality of life, cardiac performance and respiratory function in male and female adolescents aged 16 to 25 years with a Fontan-type surgical palliation of univentricular congenital heart disease.
Intellectual disability (ID) is a diagnosis characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social and practical adaptive skills. The disability originates before age 18 years. The prevalence of mental ill-health among adults with intellectual disabilities is higher than the general population. Individuals with ID use psychotropic medication extensively, but studies indicate that less than one out of three who use psychotropic drugs have a psychiatric diagnosis. The drugs are usually prescribed by a regular general practitioner. People with IDs will often require health- and social services throughout their lifetimes. Studies report worse mental and physical health among people with IDs compared to the general population, in addition to more unmet healthcare needs and more difficulty accessing healthcare. General health surveys in Norway do not include people with intellectual disabilities, and studies of health indicators in this group are largely lacking. Further, the unique organization of services for this group in Norway calls for specific research efforts. This project will use multinational health indicators for youths and adults with IDs in a biopsychosocial context in attempt to identify unmet health care needs to improve services. The project will focus on mental health and challenging behavior and how the related healthcare needs are met. We will also look at the relationship between mental health, behavioral problems and workforce employment amongst people with intellectual disabilities.
The aim of this study is to examine the long-term (3-5 year post intervention) effects post individualized follow-up with an app for one year, compared to a control group that received usual care on factors related to healthy behaviour in patients post-CR.
This study investigates the effects of an intervention based on Motivational Interviewing (MI) on oral hygiene, oral cleaning routines, and attitudes toward own oral health of prisoners in Norway. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change. All prisoners in the study undergo an oral examination to establish a baseline of oral health and a comprehensive questionnaire to identify risk factors and their attitudes towards their oral health and oral treatment. Norwegian-speaking prisoners are then randomized into either a treatment or control group. In the treatment group, dental staff initiate a conversation with the prisoner based on techniques from MI. Both groups finally receive a toilet bag with basic equipment to regularly clean their teeth. After 4 weeks and 12 weeks, prisoners are invited back for another oral examination and a follow-up questionnaire, to measure changes in oral hygiene, oral cleaning routines, and attitude toward their oral health. At four weeks a screening of general learning difficulties using the validated screening tool The Hayes Ability Screening Index (HASI) will be conducted. If the intervention proves to be an effective tool in improving oral hygiene, oral cleaning routines, and/or attitude towards own oral health, it can serve as an alternative proactive approach to improve the oral health of a vulnerable group in society. If the improvements in oral hygiene and oral cleaning routines are long-lasting, this may in turn lead to a reduced need for oral treatment. An improved attitude towards own oral health may, together with other rehabilitation programs in prison, improve the prisoner's self-esteem and chances to successfully returning to society after having served their prison sentence.
In this trial the researchers plan to recruit 4,000 volunteers to be randomly allocated either wearing face masks in public spaces where they are close to other people, or not wear face masks in such circumstances. For each participant the trial period is 2 weeks, after which they will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire which includes questions about whether they experienced the common cold, influenzas or COVID-19 symptoms during the trail period.
The main aim of this study is to see how TAK-861 works on symptoms of narcolepsy, including excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. Approximately 100 participants will take part in the study across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The treatment (TAK-861 or placebo) will be administered for 8 or 12 weeks. After this treatment period the participant will have the option to participate in a separate, long- term extension study during which all participants will be treated with TAK-861.
The PROTEOS study is an randomized controlled, open label, parallel-group, multi-centre and multicounty interventional study to assess the acceptance and implementation of Compact Protein, a low volume, energy dense and high protein oral nutritional support in clinical practice according to the ESPEN guidelines in colorectal and lung cancer patients undergoing chemo(radio)- or immunotherapy treatment.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the temperature profiles in the renal pelvis during ureteroscopic Thulium Fiber Laser activation using different settings. To this end, comparison of peak temperatures during laser activation for different settings is the main aim. Secondary aim is trying to define the duration of safe laser activation until the threshold for heat induced cell injury (43oC) is reach. Patients ≥ 18 years with a ureteral stone (with or without a concomitant renal stone) and an indwelling nephrostomy tube scheduled for ureteroscopic lithotripsy at the day surgery unit at Haukeland University Hospital, are eligible to enrolment in the study. Temperature measurements during ureteroscopic laser stone disintegration will be performed. Follow-up is standardised with clinical consultation and low dose CT 3 months post endoscopically.
The present study registration relates to a quantitative sub-study of a larger mixed method study, including also a qualitative sub-study. Together, these investigations will provide complementary insights. The quantitative study is a follow-up study of close relatives (> 16 years) of patients in treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) who participated in a group-based 4-day psychoeducational program.
