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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a specific rehabilitation program with oral screen used in an elderly population with dysphagia can improve elderly's swallowing capacity.
This study evaluates if motivational interviewing sessions aiming to motivate recently discharged patients with either chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or congestive heart failure to be active in post-discharge self-management can reduce re-hospitalization rates.
A study in patients with metastatic or recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck to evaluate the effectiveness of Nivolumab plus Ipilumumab vs. Nivolumab alone (CheckMate 714)
This study was comprised of three substudies. The objective of Substudy 1 was to characterize the dose-response, efficacy, and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission to identify the induction dose of upadacitinib for further evaluation in Substudy 2. The objective of Substudy 2 was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission in participants. The objective of Substudy 3 was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in achieving clinical remission in participants who had a response following induction with upadacitinib.
This post-authorization observational safety study determines the characteristics of patients prescribed naloxegol at time of first prescription and treatment patterns of naloxegol in follow-up in the United Kingdom (UK), Norway, Sweden, and Germany.
The primary objective of this trial was to determine Bactiguard coated BIP CVC's safety and performance and compare it to corresponding standard uncoated CVC.
Vulvodynia is a very common but vastly under-diagnosed and under-treated gynaecological condition that leads to extreme suffering for both the women involved but also their partners. It has also been shown to be associated with poor quality of life, leading to depression and anxiety states. When left untreated, the condition takes a very long time to resolve, with a substantial associated disability and suffering. Both psycho-education and internet-based interventions have been shown to be highly successful while they can be quite affordable. This makes them highly cost-effective. The present study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of such an intervention among a vulvodynia patient population from the clinics of Uppsala, Falun, Orebro and Gävle. The patients will be recruited by treating physicians and given access to the internet-based platform, where they will fill out questionnaires during four different time-points, after randomization to the control or the intervention group. The intervention group will also have access to multiple activities and information material uploaded in the internet-based platform. Differences in pain, quality of life and mental health parameter outcomes will be assessed at the end of the study. Should this intervention prove effective, it will be implemented in clinical praxis in the four regions.
The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of adalimumab prior to surgery in participants with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) who were surgical candidates.
The aim of this project is to evaluate a hybrid emotion-focused treatment protocol, specifically developed for individuals who suffer from co-occurring chronic pain and clinical levels of anxiety and/or depressive symptoms. Specific questions relating to treatment outcome: 1. Does a hybrid emotion-focused treatment lead to a decrease in comorbid emotional symptoms (pain-related fear, anxiety, depression)? 2. Does a hybrid emotion-focused treatment lead to an increase in functional ability, improvement in work status and decrease in medication use? 3. Does a hybrid emotion-focused treatment lead to better treatment effect on the above outcome variables compared to an active comparison group? Specific questions relating to the process of change: 4. Are therapeutic effects of the hybrid emotion-focused treatment mediated by changes in proposed transdiagnostic emotion regulation process variables (worry, rumination, cognitive and behavioral avoidance, emotional suppression)?
This is a prospective, cross-over, randomized, controlled, partly blinded study evaluating safety and performance of noble metal alloy urinary Catheters (BIP Foley, Bactiguard AB) of both latex and silicone. The included patients are permanently catheterized spinal cord injured patients at the Spinalis clinic at Rehab station in Stockholm, Sweden. Primary Outcome Measures: • The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of long term suprapubic use of BIP Foley catheters, compared to the use of standard catheters for the same time period, on re-current symptomatic catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTIs). Secondary Outcome Measures: • to evaluate safety/performance of the catheter, i.e. antibiotic use, bacteriuria, bacteremia, urosepsis and ICU stay. Exploratory Outcome Measures: • assessment of levels of immunological markers in urine, urinary bacterial type and resistance pattern, catheter comfort, stability of the coating, and bacterial biofilm on the catheter surface after use.
