About this study

Official title: "The Effect of Rehabilitation of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Versus Standard Outpatient Care." A Randomized Controlled Trial.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a new rehabilitation program of type 2 diabetes patients in a primary care center versus standard care in the outpatient Hospital Clinic.

Read the detailed description

Type 2 diabetes is major and growing health care problem and is associated with premature mortality and increased morbidity. At the time of diagnosis half of the patients have cardiovascular, renal, ophthalmic or neurological disease. A recent Danish intervention study found a marked reduction in cardiovascular events and microvascular complications in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria using an intensive multifactorial pharmacologic intervention and lifestyle intervention (3). The achieved changes in lifestyle seems however to vanish after a short period. Lack of information, unawareness of the seriousness of the disease and lack of supervised training and insufficient follow-up may be of importance of the long-term outcome in these patients.

A total number of 180 patients with type 2 diabetes, will be randomized to the intervention group or to standard care.

This study tests an intensive intervention of lifestyle by a newly developed program of rehabilitation compared with routine standards in a randomized controlled design. Provided that a significant positive outcome is found, the non-pharmacologic treatment of type 2 diabetes could be optimized and inpatient hospitalization due to complications could be avoided.

A study testing Group based non-pharmacological rehabilitation and Individual non-pharmacological rehabilitation in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Bispebjerg Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in HgbA1c (Glycemic control) (time frame: baseline, six month, one year, two years and three years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00284609, which also lists 17 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2010.
