There are about 9403 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Switzerland. 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.
Flexible cystoscopy is routinely performed by urologists. Many patients have concerns to undergo this procedure and expect it to be unpleasant or even painful. Thus, reduction of pain and discomfort during cystoscopy is of great interest, but there is not sufficient evidence regarding the most appropriate conduct of cystoscopy. In this study the impact of lidocaine gel, patient counseling and monitoring regarding pain perception during flexible cystoscopy are investigated.
This study is to describe the incidence of infectious meningitis and/or encephalitis, and to analyze clinical, diagnostic and treatment characteristics of patients with suspected (and subsequently verified and not verified) infection.
Datas are lacking concerning weaning from mechanical ventilation for tracheostomized patients. In particular, the effect of different modalities of spontaneous breathing trials on respiratory effort has not been extensively described. This crossover physiology study will include 18 tracheostomized patients ventilated for more than 72 hours. The objective of this study is to compare the effect of three different modalities of SBTs on respiratory effort in tracheostomized patients. The modalities tested are : Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV level 5 cmH2O, PEEP 5 cmH2O), T-piece test and high-flow Oxygen. Each modality is applied in a randomized order, during 30 minutes. During every modality tested, esophageal and gastric pressure, expired CO2, and comfort will be monitored, in addition to standard monitoring. Based on esophageal pressure monitoring, patient's respiratory efforts can be calculated either by esophageal pressure-time product and work of breathing. Pressure generated by inspiratory muscles will also be assessed.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the benefit of simulator training for learning external cephalic version (ECV) or vacuum assisted vaginal delivery (hereafter vacuum extraction [VE]) for obstetrics-gynecology residents. The primary outcome of this randomized control trial is to evaluate the impact of simulation training on the success of ECV and VE.
This study will investigate the effectiveness of a simple and quick myofunctional reeducation protocol of the tongue in reducing the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) severity.
This is a prospective, multi-site, randomised, sham-controlled, single-blind (outcome assessor-blinded) study designed to assess the effects of Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) (using Phagenyx®) for the treatment of oropharyngeal dysphagia after invasive mechanical ventilation (of any duration) by means of naso or oro-tracheal tube in critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
AML and MDS-EB2 are malignancies of the bone marrow. The standard treatment for these diseases is chemotherapy. Patients participating have a special type of this disease because the leukemia cells (blasts) have developed an error in the genetic material (DNA). This error is called an IDH1 mutation or an IDH2 mutation (a mutation is a change in the DNA), which leads to changes in specific substances in the leukemia cells. This trial will investigate whether the addition of the new drugs Ivosidenib (for patients with IDH1 mutation) or Enasidenib (for patients with IDH2 mutation) to the standard treatment of chemotherapy controle the disease more effectively and for a longer period.
The aim of this trial is to determine preliminary activity of the combination treatment with nivolumab and entinostat in children and adolescents with high risk refractory/relapsed/progressive tumors harboring a high mutational load, focal MYC(N) amplification or ATRT-MYC subgroup as well as tumors with high tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) or a tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS).
H0: "Within the first year post-placement, four interforaminally placed, immediately loaded 2.4 mm narrow-diameter one-piece TiZr implants with miniaturized stud-type attachments show improved patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) compared to two interforaminally placed, early loaded, TiZr two-piece implants with stud-type attachments to retain a mandibular overdenture."The specific aim is to compare both treatment alternatives to evaluate which one may be recommended for elderly edentulous patients.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of erenumab in migraine prevention in children (6 to <12 years) and adolescents (12 to <18 years) with episodic migraine. The study hypothesis is that in pediatric participants with episodic migraine, the combined erenumab dose group has a greater reduction from baseline to week 9 through week 12 (month 3) in monthly migraine days (MMDs) when compared with placebo in the double-blind treatment phase (DBTP).
