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.
In the Region Skåne in Sweden, the investigators have developed guidelines for providing intensive and evidence-based treatment during the first month in case of severe restrictive eating disorder with pronounced starvation. The project is aiming at implementing this treatment program in the general Child Psychiatric clinic, with its main focus on the implementation of evidence based family therapy. The study aims to evaluate the implementation of a standardized treatment model during the first month. The outcome will be compared with the patients and families who have been in treatment before the ROCKETLAUNCH project started.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if ultrasound can be helpful in the diagnostic work-up of oral tongue and floor of the mouth cancer. One important factor is how deeply the tumour invades the tissue, the so called depth of invasion (DOI). The investigator will measure DOI with ultrasound and compare the result with the same measurement by magnetic resonance imaging and the microscopic result after the surgery (PAD). Ultrasound will also be used during surgery of the tumour to investigate if it is useful to better decide the depth of the tumour and thereby improving the operation.

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of twice daily inhaled doses of BI 1265162 delivered by Respimat® inhaler versus placebo in adolescents and adult patients with cystic fibrosis.
Women with provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) suffer from severe dyspareuni and often present a hyperactivity of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) which maintain the dyspareunia. The rationale for the study is that for women with PVD who don't succeed to restore the function of the PFM by physiotherapy, Botulinum Toxin A (BTA) could be an optional treatment by decreasing the high muscle tonus and thus possibly reduce the coital pain. Objectives and outcome Women with PVD will be recruited for a double blind RCT of 2 injection of 50 Allergan-units BTA (3 months apart) or placebo in the bulbocavernous muscles (situated adjacent to the lower part of the vagina). Primary outcome: The reduction of patient self-reported dyspareunia measured by VAS 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain imaginable). Secondary outcome: Pain at tampon insertion measured by VAS 0-100, functional measurement of dyspareunia (see below), the reduction of pelvic floor hyperactivity/tonus, measured with a vaginal manometer, safety aspects and effect duration of BTA, influence on quality of life and psychosexual evaluation.
Synopsis Aim: The purpose of the study is to determine the stimulus of electrical current during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that produces the optimal balance between antidepressant effect and memory disturbance. Specifically, this study aims to compare the 0.5 ms and 1.0 ms pulse width stimuli. Design: National, register-based randomized trial, unmasked with two treatment arms. Primary objective: To test the hypothesis that a 1.0 ms pulse width stimulus produces a higher remission rate (< 11 on the MADRS-S) than a 0.5ms pulse width stimulus. Secondary objectives include testing for differences in: self-rated global health measured with the EQ5D-VAS subjective memory worsening (increase of 2 on the memory item of the CPRS) antidepressive response (decrease of 50% on the MADRS-S) number of ECTs in the treatment series readmission and suicide rate within 6 months Study population: patients with unipolar or bipolar depression. Sample size: 800 patients, 400 patients in each arm. Inclusion criteria: At least 18 years of age at the time of inclusion Diagnostic criteria fulfilled for unipolar, or bipolar depressive episode according to ICD-10. An indication for and accepting ECT A Swedish personal identity number. Capable of giving informed consent. Exclusion criteria: If the investigator judges a certain pulse width to be inappropriate for the patient. Inclusion time 2019-05-01-2022-11-15. Abbreviations 1.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of JNJ-53718678 on the development of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract infection (LRTIs) in adult hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients with RSV upper RTI.
A retrospective single-center study with patients with suspected sepsis admitted to the Emergency Department at Södersjukhuset during a period of two years. The aim is to describe the association between adherence to treatment guidelines, gender, incidence and mortality for patients with sepsis.
Patients with diabetes should be thoroughly examined before they are provided with insoles and shoes. In the study the feet are examined with the help of a new software, the D-Foot. D-Foot includes questions and surveys. The aim of the of the study is evaluate how the patients experience the visit at the department of Prosthetics & Orthotics based on the digital foot check.
A combination of diabetes and neuropathy can cause an altered gait, increased tissue stiffness, limited joint mobility, muscle weakness, foot deformities, thus leading to excessive plantar pressure. The presence of an increased plantar pressure and the loss of sensation is a serious risk factor in the risk of development of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Therefore, appropriate shoes and insoles are recommended to redistribute high peak pressure (PP) and reduce pressure time integral (PTI) . Shoe modifications and insoles, when used, is effective to prevent the recurrence of plantar ulcer. The primary aim of the study was to: explore gait characteristics, kinetics and kinematics in a cohort of patients diagnosed with diabetes, with and without neuropathy, assigned to use different types of insoles. The second aim was to assess the relation between gait characteristics, kinetics and kinematics to high plantar PP and PTI. The third aim was to compare gait characteristics, kinetics and kinematics of patients with diabetes and healthy controls.
