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 specific goal of this pilot study is to evaluate if it is possible to detect a statistical difference in postprandial glycemia after meals served with and without a drink previously shown to reduce postprandial glycemia by about 25%. A third drink, with a new recipe, is also included for comparisons. Six participants will carry continuous blood glucose monitors for 10 days and follow a specific meal schedule. The data from this study will form the basis for forming hypothesis of future studies as well as make appropriate calculations of statistical power.
Many hearing aid users experience substantial communication difficulties that may affect their participation in daily life situations negatively. One of the reasons for experiencing remaining problems could be due to unrealistic expectations, another reason could be that the hearing aid is not well adjusted or that the hearing aid user didn't got sufficient support and follow-up from the audiologist. The purpose of this project is to offer remote hearing aid adjustment as an additional support for new hearing aid users.

This study will compare outcomes of two different delivery methods (Face-to-face and digitally) of first-line treatment for hip and knee osteoarthritis.
This observational study will follow the chiropractors and naprapaths in Sweden to study how work environment, health, and economy is changing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of IMB-1018972 in subjects with obstructive CAD and inducible ischemia.
Pectoralis nerves plane block (PECS) first described by Blanco in 2011 has become part of postoperative pain management in breast surgery, thoracic surgery and thoracic trauma. The combination of low complication risk and easiness in mastering of PECS block has made it an interesting alternative to thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEDA) and paravertebral blockade (PVB) for pain treatment after breast surgery. Several studies showed good results when PECS was compared to PVB. PECS blockade however is a procedure requiring some resources in the operating room. An alternative approach is to inject local anesthetics (LA) in the operation field by the surgeon. The hypothesis' tested in this study is primarily: that PECS blockade is superior to LA being injected by surgeon in the operating field measured by end points such as: post-operative pain, post-operative analgesics use, post-operative nausea or vomiting (PONV) and length of stay in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU).
This investigation is a prospective, open, non-comparative, single-center investigation with the aim to investigate the effect of BARRIER EasyWarm active self-warming blanket on skin- and body core temperatures. The investigation will enroll approximately 20 healthy volunteers in one investigation site and each subject will be evaluated for up to 10 hours in one visit.
After all surgical procedures, the skin must be closed with some form of stitch, in healthcare called suture. According to the tradition of hand surgery, sutures that must be removed by caregivers, ie non-resorbable thread, have been used extensively, and the frequency of complications in the form of wound rupture and infection is low. For many procedures, however, it can be an advantage to avoid removing the stitches, as it is both painful for the patient and time-consuming and resource-consuming for both the patient and the healthcare system. You can then use a thread that the body itself breaks down and absorbs, ie resorbable suture. In the project, we will compare resorbable and non-resorbable suture with the primary outcome of superficial infection in the surgical area sometime day 1-20 after surgery. Secondary outcomes are the occurrence of wound rupture, pain VAS (Visual Analog Scale) when changing 2 weeks postoperatively, patient satisfaction VAS at 2 weeks and time spent in minutes for changing at 2 weeks postoperatively. The project will include all consecutive patients> 18 years of age who are operated on at the hand surgery clinic Södersjukhuset for elective or emergency surgery that do not meet the exclusion criteria. The project will include 270 patients.
The Early neo2 registry will study up to 500 patients treated with the updated Boston Acurate neo2 TAVI prosthesis at various European hospitals. The data is gathered from routine healthcare and there are no study-mandated additional procedures. The main endpoint is a combined efficiency and safety endpoint after 30 days. Imaging data (echocardiography, computed tomography and aortography) will be analysed centrally by a core lab.
