Clinical research involving patients should be recorded in various databases. At OUS a guideline for registration of clinical trials in ClinicalTrials.gov and publication on OUS 'website/helsenorge.no is available in the hospital’s electronic manual (eHåndboken).

The obligation to register and report clinical research follows from the assignment given by the Ministry of Health and Care Services (HOD). This reporting applies to so-called clinical treatment studies; see the link below or https://www.cristin.no/behandlingsstudier/.
