Suzetrigine in Total Hip Arthroplasty

Total hip and knee joint replacements are among the most common and painful orthopedic procedures performed worldwide, often requiring intensive analgesia to support early ambulation and recovery. Despite widespread use of multimodal regimens, many patients still rely on opioids, which can cause sedation, nausea, constipation, and long-term dependency. Evaluating Suzetrigine in this high-need population may improve recovery trajectories, reduce opioid consumption, and support enhanced recovery protocols. Given the growing surgical volume and the emphasis on opioid-sparing strategies, rigorous investigation of Suzetrigine's efficacy in joint replacement is of high clinical value. In this study, patients undergoing primary total hip replacement will be randomized to receive either Suzetrigine or placebo for seven days, with the loading dose administered prior to surgery. The primary outcome is cumulative 48-hour opioid consumption in oral morphine equivalents starting from entry into the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).

A Study of the Intervention of Time-restricted Eating in High-risk Populations of GDM

This is a randomized controlled trial, aiming to investigate whether a time-restricted eating (TRE) can reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk pregnant women. Investigators intend to conduct a 3-month randomized controlled study to compare the effects of 10-hour TRE and habitual eating time on GDM .

'Nurture and Play' - a Pilot Study

The aim of this randomised controlled pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of the Nurture and Play (NnP) offered to a Danish population of psychosocial vulnerable pregnant women and their partners. More specifically the objectives of the study are to: * Test the feasibility of the NnP including both parents * Evaluate the recruitment procedure, the adherence as well as the participant's and professional´s experience of the intervention * Evaluate the collaboration between the hospitals and the municipalities. The study consists of: 1. A randomized controlled pilot study (n=20 women/couples) carried out according to the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials SPIRIT statement for clinical trials. The parents who agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention or the control group. In addition to care-as-usual, the intervention group will be offered to participate in the NnP adapted to include partners. The intervention consists of 11 group sessions (4 perinatal and 7 postnatal sessions) and will be provided to the parents in the intervention group from around 26 weeks gestation until the baby is around seven months old. Each group session will be led by a midwife and a health nurse and will consist of four to five mothers/couples. 2. A qualitative descriptive interview study aiming to evaluate the participants' and professionals´ experience of the intervention. Data will be collected through: * Online Questionnaires. * Interviews. * Videotaped settings.
