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 examine if an internet-based exposure therapy is effective in reducing excessive worry amongst patients who suffer from this problem.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the extent of potential off-label use of Xofigo in Sweden.
The main objective is to explore and evaluate the effect of a change in the WHO checklist on the safety climate in the operating room at a University Hospital in Gothenburg.
Background: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea run an increased risk of cardiovascular disease including hypertension. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first line of treatment. However, many patients skip CPAP for some nights. Aims: The primary aim was to investigate the cardiovascular effects of short-term CPAP withdrawal for five nights because of obstructive sleep apnea. Design: Randomized, parallel controlled trial Inclusion criteria: 100 patients with successful CPAP treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Exclusion criteria: Dementia, heart infarction within 3 months, apnea hypopnea index > 10 with CPAP treatment. Randomization: 50 patients are randomized to sleep 5 days without CPAP and 50 patients to continue with CPAP treatment during the trial. Primary outcomes: Arterial stiffness, 24-hour blood pressure. Secondary outcomes: Effects of gender on outcome. Effects on brain natriuretic peptide, apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation-index, urine-catecholamines, blood lipids, C-reactive protein, glucose metabolism (S-glc, HBA1c), insulin resistance, serum creatinine, hemoglobin, daytime sleepiness (ESS, KSS), lung function (FVC, FEV1), airway inflammation (exhaled NO) Procedures: Sleep apnea investigation while patients are treated with CPAP for one night. Urinary samplings during the same night. They are also investigated with 24 h blood pressure measurements. Blood samples are taking fasting in the morning followed by measuring the arterial stiffness (Vicorder, Skidmore Medical UK) including pulse wave analysis using sphygmomanometer (Omron Japan). The same investigations are done at follow-up 5 days later where half of the patients have continued using CPAP treatment and half of them has slept without CPAP.
Ischemic stroke, i.e. irreversible damage of a part of the patient's brain, is caused by the formation of blood clot in the major vessel which gives blood supply to a certain part of the brain. At early time, within the first 4,5 hours, the conventional treatment is to try to dissolve this blood clot with a medication ("thrombolytic drug") which is administered to the blood through the needle in the vein. If the clot still remains there, additional treatment is possible - going directly to the clot via artery and taking it out with a special device. Patients may be included even if they are not treated with intravenous thrombolysis because of contraindication or other reasons. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the benefit and safety efficacy of thrombectomy and standard stroke care in clinical routine treatment of acute occlusive stroke compared to standard stroke care only.
The primary aim is to investigate the effectiveness of Emotion Regulation Individual Therapy for Adolescents (ERITA) who self-harm.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of suptavumab (REGN2222) in infants born no more than 35 weeks, 6 days gestational age who are no more than 6 months of age at the time of enrollment in their respective geographic location. In order to optimize the potential benefit in this vulnerable population, we conducted this study during the RSV season using dosing regimens that are expected to be effective.
The purpose of this study is to look at the steady-state serum concentrations of nitisinone when switching from twice daily and once daily dosing.
200 patients with colorectal cancer will be investigated before surgery and 100 of them after surgery. Investigations will include polysomonographic sleep apnea recordings during one night, lung function measurements, blood gas samples and questionnaires. Controls: Men and women from two population-based cohort studies
A randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, multi-site, phase III, single dose, 4-way cross-over pharmacodynamic study evaluating the efficacy of Bricanyl Turbuhaler M3 compared to Bricanyl Turbuhaler M2 by studying the protective effect on methacholine induced bronchoconstriction in patients with stable, mild to moderate asthma
