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.
Intrathecal morphine is commonly used as an analgesic adjunct for hip arthroplasty performed under spinal anaesthesia. Sleep apnea syndrome is a condition that affects up to 10% of the patients. Effect of intrathecal hydrophilic opioids on the frequency and duration of apneic episodes is unknown. The objective of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate the effect of intrathecal morphine and surgery on apneic episodes.
This study is set to evaluate a proposed standard for the treatment of proximal humerus fractures
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, 3-part rollover study in subjects with CF who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation and who participated in studies VX13-661-103 (Study 103, NCT02070744), VX14-661-106 (Study 106, NCT02347657), VX14-661-107 (Study 107, NCT02516410), VX14-661-108 (Study 108, NCT02392234), VX14-661-109 (Study 109, NCT02412111), VX14-661-111 (Study 111, NCT02508207), VX15-661-112 (NCT02730208), and VX16-661-114 (NCT03150719). The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment of VX-661 in combination with ivacaftor.
The purpose of this study was to test whether two investigational drugs called CAD106 and CNP520, administered separately, could slow down the onset and progression of clinical symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in participants at the risk to develop clinical symptoms based on their age and genotype.
The sensory innervation of the clavicle remains an area of debate. Regional nerve blocks aimed at relieving pre- and post-operative pain include the superficial cervical plexus blocks, interscalene blocks and a combined version of the above. In this case study, the investigators aim to describe the protocol used in a university hospital: general anaesthesia with interscalene brachial plexus block, followed by optional iv morphine administration in phase 1 recovery and oral oxycodone on the ward.
The primary purpose of the study was to determine the safety and tolerability, anti-tumor activity of the proposed Debio 1562 dose regimens in combination with rituximab.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intensive, focused training of the affected upper extremity after stroke results in long-term functional gains in moderately-to-severely paralyzed patients, more than 6 months after their vascular accident. During the course of therapy, user's attempts to move and complete exercises are assisted by neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
With this study the investigators investigate the effects of amino acids (tryptophan in two different concentrations, leucin) and sugar alcohols (xylitol, erythritol) on satiety mechanisms.
Hysterectomy is an effective treatment used as a first-line approach for uterine myomas. Several others alternatives to hysterectomy have been developed in recent years for women wishing to retain their uterus: myomectomy, radiological embolization, focused ultrasound. Myomectomy, particularly through minimally invasive surgery, is currently considered the conservative treatment of choice for patients wishing to preserve their fertility. However, three important issues should be considered: the risk of intra- and postoperative bleeding, the risk for recurring myomas, and the preservation of subsequent fertility. Preventive uterine artery occlusion can be combined with laparoscopic myomectomy in order to avoid bleeding and improve uterine suture. Another expected long-term benefit is the improvement of treatment efficacy, leading to less symptoms and myomas recurrence. However, the effect of uterine arteries occlusion on the ovarian reserve of women of childbearing age has not yet been studied, which limits its clinical application.
Studying obesity and metabolic syndrome attention is focused more and more on gut microbiota. In humans and animals, bariatric surgery (mainly gastric bypass surgery) lead to alterations of gut microbiota, which seem to be favourable. In this study the investigators aim to examine the effect of different bariatric procedures on composition of gut microbiota.
