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.
This study aimed to validate new recipes for cow's milk, hen's egg, soy, cod and wheat, to be used in blinded low-dose food challenges.
Minor mental health problems, MMHP, like mild depression and anxiety, and medically unexplained symptoms, MUS, symptoms with no known underlying organic disease, are strongly associated to each other. MMHP and MUS have an impact on well-being and quality of life, lead to impaired social and cognitive function and could result in reduced work capacity. The investigators have designed the present study as a pragmatic trial to investigate the effectiveness of an integrative treatment model, therapeutic acupuncture, versus conventional treatment in patients with MMHP or MUS in primary care. The investigators examined whether the effects of the integrative treatment model differed from those achieved with therapeutic acupuncture or conventional treatment. Primary endpoints were anxiety and depression (assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale), health-related quality of life (SF-36) and coping with stress, sense of coherence (SOC) during the eight weeks of treatment interventions. Statistical power was calculated based on an expected 50% reduction in HAD anxiety and depression scores after eight weeks of integrative treatment; a 30% reduction in acupuncture; and 20% in conventional care. A total of 120 (40/arm) were needed to achieve a power of 83% at p <0.05. Treatment effects were calculated as the difference between values at baseline, after four weeks and after the complete intervention period, i.e. after eight weeks. Nonparametric analyses were carried out to test differences between independent samples (Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U) and related samples (Wilcoxon).
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment is effective in preventing fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
The primary objective is to study the effect of Denosumab on Bone Mineral Density, Standardised Uptake Value and bone metabolism in patients with total hip arthroplasty. The primary hypothesis is to demonstrate that Denosumab is superior to placebo.
The aim is to evaluate the effects of Internet based Stepped Care on anxiety, depression and health related quality of life in cancer patients with anxiety and depression symptoms, compared to Standard Care, and to evaluate the health-economic effects of the intervention. The investigators also want to examine the development of anxiety and depression symptoms and health related quality of life in cancer patients without initial symptoms. The primary hypothesis is that Internet based Stepped Care (I-SC) is more effective in relieving anxiety and depression symptoms in cancer patients, compared to Standard Care (SC). Secondary hypotheses are that less anxiety and depression symptoms also means improved health related quality of life and that I SC is cost-effective or at least cost neutral compared to standard care. The IT-platform Carebase.se is developed within U-CARE. The platform will be used for delivering of interventions and for collection of all patient reported outcomes. Patients with anxiety or depression symptoms according to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale will be randomized to I SC or SC. Patients with no initial anxiety or depression symptoms will be included in descriptive studies. All patients, in the randomized controlled trial and the descriptive study will followed up during 24 months I-SC comprises interactive support (Step 1) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT; Step 2). Step 1 starts directly after randomization and extends over a 24 months period. Step one comprises web-based patient education including psycho-education and easy interventions strategies employed in CBT. Step 1 also includes a FAQ, a discussion board for patients and a personal diary. Project staff (nurses) is responsible for the FAQ and to moderate the discussion board. The nurses will be supervised by a CBT psychologist. They can also turn to other experts in the project group for advices about how to answer patients' questions. Patients with remaining anxiety or depression symptoms at 1, 4 or 7 months after randomization will be offered Step 2. Step 2 comprise conventional Internet based CBT for common psychological concerns. The participants' chooses to work with modules that correspond to prioritized concerns, e.g. anxiety or depression. The CBT is structured and manualized and include conventional treatment methods with homework and weekly contacts with the psychologist. Step 2 extends over a 10-week period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Lotus™ Valve System for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in symptomatic subjects with severe calcific aortic stenosis who are considered high risk for surgical valve replacement.
The aim of this study is to investigate if prescribing of fall-risk increasing and fracture-preventing drugs can be improved in older hip fracture patients by assessments of risks of falls and fractures and medication reviews performed by a physician and forwarded to prescribing physicians.
Advanced heart failure therapy (heart transplantation or LVAD) is underutilized and patients are underserved. The purpose of this prospective, observational study is to obtain multi-center data on the proportion of patients with CRT and/or ICD who are candidates for advanced heart failure treatment and obtain insights into patient and physician decisions regarding referral for advanced heart failure therapy.
Haemophilia is a disorder, usually genetic, affecting mostly male individuals, in which one of the proteins needed to form blood clots (FVIII) is missing or not present in sufficient levels. In a person with haemophilia, the clotting process is much slower and the person experiences bleeding episodes that can result in serious problems and potential disability. The current haemophilia standard of care is to maintain FVIII activity level above 1%. Sometimes, patients can develop antibodies (so called "inhibitors") against FVIII and it is no longer effective at controlling bleeds. Bleeds in these patients are currently treated using other proteins involved in the clotting process. The purpose of this study is to investigate how effectively BAY86-6150 may stop acute bleeds in "inhibitor" patients. This study consists of two parts, A and B. The purpose of part A is to find the most effective yet tolerable out of four doses of BAY86-6150 with regard to efficacy and safety (dose-finding part). Part A is expected to last 9 - 29 months. The purpose of part B is to confirm efficacy and safety of the dose found in part A in all participating patients (confirmatory part). Part B is expected to last 12-32 months. Approximately 60 male subjects 12 to 62 years-of-age with moderate or severe haemophilia A or B, with inhibitors to FVIII or FIX, who have had 4 or more bleeding episodes in the last 6 months, will participate in this study. Patient's bleeds will be treated with BAY86-6150 and with a rescue medication if no response is made to BAY86-6150. Patients will attend the treatment centre at regular intervals and be required to keep an electronic diary.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF; GS-7977) in combination with ribavirin (RBV) with or without pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who participated in a prior Gilead HCV study and have not achieved sustained virologic response (SVR).
