This study will compare two different ways to pace the heart in people with heart failure and abnormal electrical signals. About 1,100 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard biventricular pacing or a newer method that tries to pace the heart's natural w…

This study compares different standard methods for treating irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) using a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation. Over 1,100 patients at two Copenhagen hospitals will receive one of the standard treatments during their scheduled procedure…

This large study in Denmark aims to find the best way to program new heart defibrillators (ICDs). It will compare two different settings for the device's painless pacing feature, which tries to stop dangerous fast heart rhythms before a shock is needed. Nearly 4,000 patients rece…

This study is testing a special type of medical scan to see if it can better predict which patients are at risk for serious complications after surgery to remove liver tumors. Researchers will compare this new scan to current standard tests in about 192 patients in Denmark. The g…

This study aims to find the best time to perform a liver scan for patients with short bowel syndrome who rely on IV nutrition. Researchers will check if the timing of the IV fluids changes the scan results, which could affect how doctors monitor liver health. The goal is to make …

This study aims to find better ways to tell apart two serious causes of sudden vision loss in people over 50. Researchers will use special PET/MRI and eye scans to look for signs of inflammation in the blood vessels around the eye. The goal is to help doctors quickly give the rig…

This study aims to test a new, non-invasive MRI scan to help diagnose chronic mesenteric ischemia, a rare condition where narrowed gut arteries cause severe pain after eating. Researchers will compare 40 people—some with the condition and some without—by measuring blood flow and …

This large trial in Denmark aims to find the best antibiotic strategy to prevent serious infections after a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure called TAVI. It will compare giving patients one standard antibiotic versus a combination of two antibiotics right befo…

This study is testing a new early rehabilitation program for people who have had surgery to fuse bones in their lower back. The program combines personalized physical therapy with counseling to help patients become more active, manage pain, and overcome fear of movement after sur…

This study is testing whether a supervised strength exercise program can help people with periodic paralysis conditions. Researchers will work with 36 adults who have genetic forms of either hypokalemic or hyperkalemic periodic paralysis. Participants will follow a personalized 3…

This study aims to see if a 9-month program of structured play activities can help young children (ages 1-5) with cancer improve their movement skills and overall development during treatment. It will involve 82 children who will either receive group play sessions at the hospital…

This study aims to understand the pain experience and recovery process for patients undergoing major surgery for liver, esophageal, or pancreatic cancer. Researchers will follow 200 patients to record their pain levels, medication use, and quality of life before and after surgery…

This study aims to understand how the use of home mechanical breathing machines has changed in Denmark over the past 10 years. Researchers will look at data from about 450 patients with conditions like ALS or spinal cord injuries who needed this type of long-term breathing suppor…

This study aims to see if a specific, intense exercise program can trigger the lungs to repair themselves in people with severe COPD who are waiting for lung surgery. Researchers will compare 24 patients doing the exercise program to a group that does not exercise, measuring chan…

This study aims to find out how common hidden, symptomless irregular heartbeats are in people with a significant leak in their mitral heart valve. Researchers will implant a small heart monitor under the skin of 100 participants and track their heart rhythm for up to three years.…

This study aims to understand how children's thinking skills, memory, and physical health change during the first year after a life-saving stem cell transplant. Researchers will follow 100 young patients, tracking their brain function, strength, activity levels, and environment t…

This study aims to understand how childhood bone marrow transplants affect long-term brain function, like memory and concentration. Researchers will examine 175 survivors to see if thinking problems are linked to other health issues like diabetes or low fitness. The goal is to fi…

This study aims to understand if and how doctors trust artificial intelligence (AI) when it estimates a baby's size from pregnancy ultrasound scans. Over 300 obstetric clinicians will review sample scan cases, comparing AI estimates to traditional methods. Researchers will see if…

This study aims to better understand the risks of dangerous bleeding and blood clots in COVID-19 patients who are so sick they need a machine to breathe for them (called V-V ECMO). Researchers will look back at the medical records of 50 adult patients to see how often these compl…
