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 study seeks to investigate the effects of a guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) programme a on adult mental health problems related to the current coronavirus pandemic. ICBT will be compared to a wait-list control group. Participants will be recruited in Sweden with a nationwide recruitment.
The objective is to investigate the efficacy of volumetric capnography to detect changes in dead space, CO2 elimination and shape factor parameters before and after disconnection of external dead space in ventilated COVID-19 patients.
Evaluation of eptinezumab in the prevention of migraine in participants with unsuccessful prior preventive treatments.
To evaluate whether a digital support and communication platform for COPD patients after 6 months provides: 1. Decreased breathlessness on the basis of modified medical research council dyspnea scale [mMRC] 2. Improved health status and symptom relief based on COPD assessment scale [CAT] 3. Improved quality of life based on EQ-5D 4. Reduction in the number of incidents, hospital nights, the number of hospitalizations, outpatient contacts or the number of deaths related to COPD 5. A change in the classification of COPD severity based on GOLD A-D
The overall aim of this study is to, with the help of computer/data scientist and machine learning processes, analyse collected heart rate variability data in order to evaluate whether specific patterns could be found in patients developing delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Time to defibrillation is the most important predictor of survival in cardiac arrest. Traditional emergency medical system response is often to slow. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of drone systems that delivers Automated External Defibrillators (AED) to the scene of suspected Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA). This study will test the feasibility of real-life flights with drones carrying automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) as a complement to standard care i.e EMS
Overweight and obesity may be associated with difficult intravenous access leading to longer procedure time and more placement attempts of peripheral venous catheters (PVC). Dynamic ultrasound-guided short-axis needle tip navigation (DUST) may facilitate the procedure. This was a prospective, randomized, non-blinded study to compare time and placement attempts for nurse-led standard (ST) and ultrasound guided PVC placement in 90 emergency patients with a BMI ≥25kg/m2. Consenting patients were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive PVC by either ST or DUST. Application time was defined as the time from applying stasis to visible blood in the PVC flash-chamber. No difference in time was found (medians: ST 42 s; DUST 53.5 s, P = 0.535). There were on average 17 % less placement attempts in the DUST-group (median 1 attempt; Q1 = 1 Q3 = 1) compared to the ST-group (median 1 attempt; Q1 = 1 Q3 = 1.5), (p = 0.031). Patients reported no differences in perceived pain (p = 0.955) or perceived satisfaction (p = 0.342). Pain and subcutaneous infiltrations were the only side-effects reported (ST-group 6, DUST-group 5). DUST does not decrease time to functional PVC but reduces the number of PVC placement attempts in patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2.
The purpose of this study was to compare two wound dressing products for partial thickness burns in adults.
This observational study will describe lung ultrasound (LUS) findings over time in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe Covid-19 lung disease. Our primary aim is to investigate if lung ultrasound can identify and/or predict patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Another aim is to describe LUS findings associated with clinical findings and patient condition.
Critically ill covid-19 patients may require respiratory support including mechanical ventilation. After an initial period with an endotracheal tube, a tracheotomy is performed in order to reduce potential airway complications, reduce the need of sedation and facilitate the monitoring and recovery. The optimal timing of this surgical procedure is, however, still unknown. The aim of this randomized, controlled trial is to compare the outcome of early (within 7 days after intubation) vs late (at least 10 days after intubation) tracheotomy in covid-19 patients. The need for mechanical ventilation, sedation, additional oxygen support, frequency of complications, duration at the ICU and mortality through the ICU stay will be evaluated and compared.
