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 goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of training on non-pharmacological therapies (NPT) for people with dementia (PWD) on professional caregivers burnout and well-being in the relationship between caregivers and people with dementia (PWD) living in nursing home. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does I-ACE training, that includes a training in the emotional-behavioral reading of body language and the recognition of one's own emotions and those of others, reduces professional caregiver burnout? - Does I-ACE training improves the ability to understand and respond to the emotions of the other starting from the signals expressed by the eyes, the activation of the predisposition to the relationship in terms of increase of salivary oxytocin, the sense of competence of the carers, the ethical climate at the workplace and the quality of life of the resident perceived by the team? Participants will attend twenty-two sessions: two theoretical meetings on dementia and NPT; ten supervision meetings on the methodology for implementing non-pharmacological therapies based on discussions of cases; ten meetings on the exploration of the bodily aspects involved in the relationship through theatrical exercises. The same cases will be re-discussed in the light of the body-emotional approach. Researchers will compare the I-ACE group with an active control group and an usual care control group to see if there are improvements in term of professional caregivers burnout, their ability to understand and respond to the emotions of PWD, increase of their levels of salivary oxytocin, sense of competence of the carers, the ethical climate at the workplace and the quality of life of the resident perceived by the team.
Consecutive patients with complex anal fistula were prospectively followed for 12 months. Routine MRI was performed before and at 4 and 12 months after surgery. Continence was assessed likewise using a validated questionnaire. Fistula were drained with setons prior surgery. SVF was harvested from subcutaneous abdominal fat and PRP from peripheral blood. Distal fistulectomy to the sphincter was performed and the wound left open, while the internal orifice was closed. SVF-PRP was injected around the fistula. Patients showered their excision wound until dry. Outcomes were reported as median & interquartile range (IQR)
This study aims to evaluate the clinical value of a novel CT gantry supporting a .23 second rotation time and systematically compare it with 0.23 second rotation time, in patients with clinically indicated aortic CTA in the workup of aortic stenosis. Patients will be randomly assigned .23 or .28 sec rotation time CTA. Coronary artery interpretability rates will be determined in both groups.
Airway management in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is still debated. Several options exist: bag-valve-mask ventilation, supraglottic devices and endotracheal intubation. Intermediate and advanced airway management strategies could be useful devices to increase chest compression fraction. A previous study shows that early insertion of an i-gel device significantly increases chest compression fraction and enhances respiratory parameters. However, the compressions were found to be shallower in the experimental group using the i-gel device. Although, the shallower compressions found in the supraglottic airway device group did not appear to be linked to their provision in an over-the-head position, it is reasonable to assume that the addition of a feedback device to the use of an i-gel® device could fix this issue. The feedback devices seem to be able to provide a benefit, and allow deeper compressions / more often in the depth target. There is a mismatch between perceived and actual cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance supporting the need for such a feedback device's study.
The Clinical Trial will systematically examine the feasibility of remote, caregiver-led tACS for older adults with memory deficits and evaluate whether repeated tACS leads to sustained improvement of neuronal activity and memory functions.
The NAGOMI COMPLEX PMCF (Post-Market Clinical Follow-up) study has been designed to expand the knowledge about outcomes with the Ultimaster Nagomi™ sirolimus eluting coronary stent system (Ultimaster Nagomi™) in complex PCI subjects. The features for a complex PCI are based upon subgroup analysis of earlier published studies.
This is a randomized, active-controlled, double-blind clinical study designed to evaluate the antiretroviral activity, safety, and tolerability of doravirine/islatravir (DOR/ISL [MK-8591A]) in treatment-naïve participants with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. It is hypothesized that DOR/ISL is non-inferior to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) as assessed by the percentage of participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) <50 copies/mL at Week 48.
Single-center, retrospective, open-label observational study aiming to evaluate visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of Isopure® EDOF-IOL with a mono-minovision target.
The primary goal of the study is to develop an early (within 4 weeks) combined microbiota/metabolic signature predicting clinical response upon anti-inflammatory treatment in UC patients.
In the context of a clinical trial, the investigators will evaluate if parent-infant interaction can be improved by a family integrated, individualised, interactive resource- and needs-oriented music therapy approach in the dyads of infants with congenital heart disease and their parents. This intervention will be compared with the standard of care. Infants allocated to the control group will receive standard care during admission. Standard care includes involvement of a multi-professional team consisting of medical and nursing team, psychologists/psychiatrists, social workers, breastfeeding counsellor, speech therapist, nutritional counsellor and physiotherapists.
