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 purposes of this study is to determine whether Heparin Binding Protein (HBP) can be used as a marker of severe sepsis (including septic shock) in patients presenting to the emergency department with suspected infection.
The purpose of the project is to formulate, implement and evaluate a new type of activity-orientated, evidence-based prevention programme to prevent fall injuries among elderly people. The question examined by the study is whether the intervention programme can: - significantly reduce accidents and incidents involving falling among the participants, - influence variables such as satisfaction with life, confidence in one's own ability and a feeling of involvement, - be shown to be cost effective in terms of the use of resources. The intervention programme - Active lifestyle all your life - is being developed in and for primary care for the cost effective prevention of fall injuries among elderly people using a method that results in continued active life. The aim is to ensure that the elderly person is able to continue living an active life with commitment and involvement, which can in itself prevent fall injuries. This presupposes a knowledge of how to avoid fall injuries and the measures and aids that are available to prevent such injuries. The programme will also provide the participants with a social community in self-supporting groups which, by their own efforts but also with social support, are able to continue some of the activities provided through primary care.
This randomized, open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study will investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bevacizumab when added to postoperative radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ as compared to postoperative radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ alone in paediatric participants with newly diagnosed histologically confirmed World Health Organization (WHO) Grade III or IV localized supratentorial or infratentorial cerebellar or peduncular high grade glioma (HGG). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. Upon approval by the Health Authorities/Ethics Committees in the participating countries, an additional young participant cohort (YPC) (children >/= 6 months and < 3 years of age with progressive or relapsed metastatic or localized, supra- or infratentorial, non-brain stem WHO Grade III or IV HGG) was included in the study. Children in the YPC will receive bevacizumab and TMZ without radiation therapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is over 1 year.
The purpose of this study is to compare the blood pressure reducing property of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation with the blood pressure reducing drug felodipin.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether tailored internet-administered cbt is a feasible treatment for anxiety disorders in clinical settings.
ClarityIQ is a novel X-ray imaging technology, that combines advanced real-time image noise reduction algorithms, with state-of-the-art hardware to reduce patient entrance dose significantly. This is realized by anatomy-specific optimization of the full acquisition chain (grid switch, beam filtering, pulse width, spot size, detector and image processing engine) for every clinical task individually. Furthermore, smaller focal spot sizes and shorter pulses are used, which are known to positively influence image quality . The final effect on the clinical image quality is investigated in this study.
Recurrent pain, such as headache, stomach pain and musculoskeletal pain is common in children and adolescents. Children and adolescents are reported to have restrictions in daily life activities, social contacts, and school attendance, and to have poorer academic skills and as well as an increased utilization of heath care services due to pain problems. The treatment approaches available today for teenagers with pain are often biological/physiological and little evidence for their effectiveness has been shown. It is urgent to try new interventions for pain problems in early ages in order to prevent disability, development of maladaptive coping strategies and to avoid negative impact on daily activities. The optimal treatment regime for paediatric pain patients has been suggested to be cognitive behavioural approach integrated with physical therapy The aim of this project is to develop and evaluate in a randomized controlled trial a treatment program with a behavioural medicine approach (suitable to use in primary care or school based health care context) compared with standard treatment for adolescents with persistent pain problems. The aim is also to compare short and long-term costs for patients and for the health care system related to the two interventions, in order to determine strategies for future cost-effective care of children and adolescents experiencing recurrent pain.
A trial testing the outcome of an Internet-based treatment of pathological gambling with the hypothesis that there will be improvements both immediately and up to 36 months. It is also hypnotized that treatment response can be predicted from background variables.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether anorectal application of Nasha Dx is safe and effective for treatment of anal incontinence.
The aims of this study are to investigate whether multimodal treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer is feasible and to evaluate the clinical outcomes and clinical effectiveness of neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy followed by cytoreductive surgery + hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy + early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, as compared to systemic chemotherapy only, in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer.
