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.
Postoperative surveillance of local metabolism of the surgical reconstruction after esophagectomy by means of Microdialysis. Dialysate is collected continuously for seven postoperative Days. Results analysed in a blinded fashion and related to the clinical outcome. Primary endpoint: anastomotic leakage
This study aimed to evaluate pain after elective colorectal surgery and to identify risk factors for postoperative pain. Patients:All elective colorectal surgeries at the department of surgery, Umeå university Hospital, Umeå, Sweden from March 2013 to April 2017 Primary outcome:The primary outcome measurement is the numeric rating scale (NRS), graded from 0-10, on day of surgery, postoperative (POD) 1, 2, 3. The patients are questioned by nurses each morning on four postoperative days to score the maximum pain during the previous 24 hours using the NRS.
This project's overall aim is to develop, deliver, and evaluate feasibility of a fall prevention program for ambulatory and non-ambulatory people with multiple sclerosis. The program will use a comprehensive intervention approach to address a variety of fall risk factors, and utilise self-management strategies. Specific aims are to 1. develop a fall prevention program, that addresses diverse fall risk factors and utilises self-management strategies, for ambulatory and non-ambulatory people with multiple sclerosis using a co-design process. 2. To examine feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and potential outcome of the online, co-designed self-management fall prevention intervention for ambulatory and non-ambulatory people with multiple sclerosis, and to examine feasibility of the recruitment process, the data collection procedures, and the outcome measures.
The aim of the current study is to investigate whether daily intake of Nordic berries for 12 weeks can improve cognitive abilities of adults with mild cognitive impairment, and whether the effect can be linked to changes in metabolic parameters.
This study evaluates if a web-based 1-year programme is a useful method for follow-up intensive care survivors with short ICU-stay. Half of the participants are randomized into receiving the web-based follow-up while the other half will receive no follow-up.
The study aims to investigate organ dysfunction and biomarkers in patients with suspected or verified COVID-19 during intensive care at Uppsala University Hospital.
Describe and characterize the time-course for improvement in glucose control after bariatric surgery in obese patients with type 2 diabetes Compare these changes in glycemic control after different techniques for bariatric surgery
The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate if a cognitive treatment targeting obsessive beliefs in patients with aggressive obsessions is feasible and effective as an online treatment.
School meals have considerable potential to shape children's diets and reduce the climate impact of meals. This study applies linear programming for developing and implementing a climate friendly, nutritious and affordable school lunch menu. The new menu plan will be compared to the baseline menu during a 4-week intervention trial. The outcomes will be food waste, consumption, and pupils' satisfaction with the meals before and after introducing the new meal plan analyzed by interrupted time series analysis. Our hypothesis is that school meals can be optimized to be nutritious and more climate friendly, without negatively affecting acceptance, food waste and cost. Four primary schools in one Swedish municipality with the same menu plan for all schools will participate in the study. Their current meal supply will be recorded in the form of a food list including amount and cost of each item over a 4-week period. This list will then be optimized with linear programming to be as similar as possible to the baseline diet but with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of about 30%. No new foods will be introduced and none will be removed from the list. Nutritionally adequacy will be ensured by including constraints into the model. The optimized food list will be handed to the municipality's meal planner and a new menu plan will be developed based on the revised food list. Data on food waste and consumption will be collected daily during a baseline period of four weeks, and during the four-week intervention period. School lunch satisfaction will be assessed twice with an online questionnaire at baseline and during the intervention.
Pulmonary abnormalities are present in up to 60% of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and up to 10% of the patients will develop clinical interstitial lung disease (ILD). Recent data indicate that inhibition of Janus kinase is beneficial for this extra-articular manifestation. Our goal is to determine whether tofacitinib is an effective and safe treatment, compared to standard-of-care methotrexate, for subclinical and clinical ILD in patients with early RA. The study also explores disease mechanisms in lungs and joints, to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and response to treatment of RA-ILD.
