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.
There is increasing evidence that medications with anticholinergic effects may adversely affect cognitive function. Older adults are particularly sensitive to anticholinergic effects because of changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The cumulative effect of taking one or more medicines with anticholinergic properties is referred to as anticholinergic burden. To estimate the anticholinergic burden, Boustani et al. published the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden scale (2008). The objective of this study is to measure the association between the use of medications with anticholinergic properties (identified by the ACB scale) and cognitive performance. Anticholinergic use and cognitive performance will be measured at baseline and 6-months follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit and safety of relugolix 40 milligrams (mg) once daily, co-administered with low-dose estradiol (E2) and norethindrone acetate (NETA) compared with placebo for 24 weeks, on dysmenorrhea and on nonmenstrual pelvic pain.
This study evaluates, among study patients with lymphoma or myeloma undergoing autologous SCT, whether cooling oral mucosa with a cooling device compared with ice cubes/crushed ice or ice pop succeeds in reducing the degree of oral mucositis (OM) according to the Oral Mucositis Assessment Scale (OMAS) total,degree of OM according to World Health Organisation (WHO), tolerability of either cooling method. The study is also aiming to , patients subjective experience of OM, rating of general quality of life and oral pain, number of days with total parenteral nutrition (TPN), number of hospital days, total dose of opioids, and C reactive protein during time in care. Finally, the study aims to evaluate weight loss, Leukocyte particle concentration, number of days until bone marrow response, S-albumin, and body temperature.
The purpose of this study is to evaluating ECG effects, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending dose of Modufolin® in healthy male volunteers
In this observational study a comparison is made between two different monitors for measurement of the activated clotting time (ACT): mechanical versus biochemical techniques
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first choice of treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Although adherence is critical for achieving a good treatment effect, and early intervention if treatment problems emerge is important for achieving good adherence, information on patient compliance is usually based on assessment of the first few weeks of treatment. Telemedicine technology allows for monitoring of CPAP pressure, air leaks, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and compliance on a daily basis and could therefore be an option allowing for adequate support and quick response if a patient has problems with the treatment. In addition, improving early experiences of CPAP, identifying patients in need of more intensive support could potentially improve adherence but also reduced cost of care, and increased patient satisfaction. The proposed study will recruit 200 OSAS patients starting CPAP treatment; 100 patients randomized to afterwards receiving telemonitoring in combination with telephone calls, and 100 patients randomized to receiving usual office visits. All patients will in addition answer questionnaires on sleep and health, quality of life, and patient satisfaction after the first CPAP information visit and then again after 6 months of treatment. At time of follow-up all patients will also answer questionnaires on side effects of CPAP. Health economic variables will also be measured throughout the testing period. The study will provide valuable information regarding benefits of telemonitoring in clinical work with CPAP therapy. Implementation of telemedicine-based monitoring of CPAP therapy may be an important part of increasing adherence among patients but also in the development of a more cost-effective care as it can provide clinics with increased treatment capacity and follow-up of both new and established patients. It would further improve the care for these patients who often have a lifelong treatment, which aims to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease or premature death.
The study is a Randomized Intervention, Multi-Center Study to Determine the Role of Fatty Acids in Serum and Breast Milk in preventing Retinopathy of Prematurity Subjects who meet all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the study. Upon entry into the study, subjects will be randomized and given a unique subject number. A randomized intervention study of 105+105 (number based on power analysis regarding up to date ROP frequency, see 5.1 and 11.1) infants without major malformations born with a gestational age less than 28 weeks + 0 days will be performed.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of AR101 through oral immunotherapy (OIT) in peanut-allergic children.
The Zip-009 clinical investigation will enroll 26 paediatric and adult subjects requiring laceration repair and fulfilling the eligibility criteria for the clinical investigation. The investigation is designed to evaluate the time and cost savings and the satisfaction and outcomes of the Zip device compared to conventional sutures. The subjects will be randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to either the Zip Surgical Skin Closure Device group or the Standard of Care sutures group. The investigation consists of one screening/baseline visits at day 0 where the subject will be treated with either the Zip device or sutures, and thereafter two follow up telephone calls at day 10 and day 30. The Zip device/sutures will be removed prior the first follow up call day 10. The duration of the investigation is estimated to 5 months, including a 4-month recruitment period and 1-month follow up period.
The objective is to investigate the Clinical, Radiographic, Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric behaviour and patient outcome when using the Triathlon total knee prosthesis in a prospective randomized clinical trial.
