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.
The treatment of PD has made considerable advances in recent years with respect to drug therapies, as well as many new physiotherapy and drug-based methods, and there have also been great improvements in therapy thanks to deep brain stimulation. Cognitive rehabilitation has shown to be effective in PD (Abbruzzese et al., 2016), however, there has yet to be a major breakthrough in the treatment and prevention of PDD (Parkinson's Disease Dementia ). This is where the high frequency and intensive prevention described here comes into play.
Infertile women undergoing hysteroscopy for diagnostic or therapeutic indication are asked to donate a sample of endometrium. Endometrial samples of study participants are examined for signs of chronic endometritis by immunohistochemical analysis. High-throughput sequencing of the microbial 16s ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) subunit is performed to identify and quantify the microbes present in the sample. Obstetric and reproductive outcome is recorded 12 months after hysteroscopy (telephone interview).
This study is to investigate that non-inferiority in terms of reduction of bacterial counts will be retained when combining the simpler three-step technique for the use of hand rub with a shorter application time of 15 seconds.
Stress is a complex natural phenomenon, frequently related to a physiological response, including heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin conductance and temperature. The subjective experience varies greatly; broadly, it may be conceived as a freeze, flight, fight, fright or faint response. Many studies have demonstrated the negative influence of psychological stress on health and well-being. Through the digital phenotyping of physiological and psychological stress reactions, in a controlled laboratory setting (Trier Social Stress Test- TSST) and real-life situations, in a population of healthy participants and patients with a major psychiatric disorder, we expect to find reliable and valid digital biomarkers. The results of this study will, therefore, not only contribute to a better understanding of stress and stress response but also have the potential to improve diagnostic and treatment approaches.
Hearing voices is probably the worst form of acoustic hallucinations; which can be experienced as severely disturbing and is influenced by diverse factors including the ability of the individual to influence and control the hallucinatory experience itself. In recent years virtual reality has become a treatment option. In the so-called AVATAR Therapy, patients with schizophrenia and acoustic hallucinations design a visual and auditory recreation (avatar) of the entity to which they attribute their hallucinations. Working with a therapist over the course of several sessions, participants change the avatar from controlling to benevolent. Avatar Therapy involves similar processes to learning and cognitive restructuring, comparable to other psychotherapeutic interventions. The investigators plan to conduct an interventional study using a cross-over design, to compare the feasibility and efficacy of virtual reality avatar therapy for patients with acoustic hallucinations (independent of psychiatric diagnosis) with a cognitive behavioural group therapy aimed to improve social competence.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of nivolumab adjuvant immunotherapy compared to placebo in adults and pediatric participants after complete resection of Stage IIB/C melanoma with no evidence of disease (NED) who are at high risk for recurrence.
Early feasibility study, single-arm registry design
Prospective will be collected in a minimum of 300 patients presenting with an acquired segmental mandibular defect ≥ 4 cm secondary to OSSC removal and who require mandibular reconstruction.
This retrospective and prospective study is to investigate the incidence of Carbapenemase-producing bacteria (CPB) at the University Hospital Basel, the time to detection of CPB and to initiation of infection control measures, the risk factors associated with carriage of CPB, type and duration of previously administrated antibiotic medication, antibiotic treatment, as well as to assess the outcomes of the affected patients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of combination treatment of ruxolitinib with 5 novel compounds: siremadlin, crizanlizumab, sabatolimab, rineterkib and NIS793 in myelofibrosis (MF) subjects.
