There are about 8563 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sweden. 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.
Mesdopetam (IRL790) is an experimental small molecule compound with psychomotor stabilizing properties. The primary target is the dopamine D3 receptor, a target implicated in the generation of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, a side-effect frequently occurring with long-term levodopa treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease. In experimental animals mesdopetam potently reduced levodopa-induced involuntary movement without impairing the antiparkinsonian effect of levodopa. The primary purpose of the trial is to investigate whether mesdopetam given as adjunctive treatment can reduce levodopa induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease. The trial will also help to establish the most optimal dosing of the compound.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections in women, with about 50% of women experiencing at least one UTI in their lifetime. The main pharmacological treatments of cystitis usually involve the use of antibiotics, in particular quinolones (such as ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin), fosfomycin, second-generation and third-generation cephalosporins, and b-lactam antibiotics associated with b-lactamase inhibitors.
The main purpose of the study was to determine the onset of Mavenclad® action by frequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of the combined unique active (CUA) lesions in participants with highly active relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS).
Patient with complex comorbidities present a growing challenge for health-care providers, that the current system is poorly designed to handle. Concomitant cardiovascular disease, renal dysfunction and diabetes represent almost half of all patients attending cardiac, kidney and diabetes clinics. Patients with all three of these will be randomized to standard care or to a combined, integrated, person-centered, intensified chronic disease management.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment of advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients on levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) monotherapy in a routine clinical setting.
Stress-related mental disorders are today the leading cause of long-term sick leave in Sweden, and a large part of this increase is due to Clinical burnout, in Sweden called "Exhaustion disorder" (ED). Even though clinical guidelines recommend multi-professional rehabilitation (MPR) for ED, few studies have evaluated the effects of these treatment programs in clinical practice. This large-scale open clinical trial investigates whether MPR for ED seems to alleviate symptoms of ED and if it results in return-to-work.
A retrospective morbidity and mortality study, using routinely collected data, investigating the epidemiology of patients with conflict-related injuries presenting to a dedicated trauma hospital in Erbil, Iraq, during the campaign to liberate Mosul from ISIS.
The order in which the different components of a meal are eaten may have impact on the postprandial metabolic responses to carbohydrates, fat and proteins. This study will compare blood lipids and glycemia regulation following lunches of identical composition but varying the order of intake of the different meal components.
Early mobilization is an important part of Enhanced Recovery Programs (ERP)in colorectal surgery. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the impact of very early mobilization, starting within 1 hour after surgery, on further mobilization within an existing Enhanced Recovery Program.
Gastroparesis is a disorder triggered by numerous causes and it is defined by symptoms and with an objective evidence of delayed gastric emptying in the absence of obstruction. Effective treatment for gastroparesis is challenging especially in patients with severe symptoms. In refractory gastroparesis, endoscopic or surgical treatments may therefore be considered. Endoscopic treatments include intrapyloric injection of botulinum toxin and transpyloric insertion of a metallic stent. Surgical options involve implantation of a gastric "pacemaker" (gastric stimulation), pyloroplasty and subtotal gastrectomy. Recently, a new endoscopic technique, gastric endoscopic per oral pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) has been introduced with promising preliminary results. The aim of this prospective, sham-controlled, cross-over study (cross-over for patients randomized to the sham arm) is to compare short and long-term efficacy and safety of G-POEM in patients with refractory gastroparesis. Symptoms and objective parameters of gastric emptying will be the main outcome criteria. The reason of using a sham protocol is to control for the potential confounders (therapeutic effects of touch and belief, which are components of the placebo effect).
