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 is looking at whether the electrical treatment provided by a special type of pacemaker called a Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) pacemaker may keep a patient's heart failure from getting worse. When the lower heart chambers (i.e. ventricles) are electrically paced to beat together by the CRT pacemaker, blood may be pumped to the body more efficiently. The CRT pacemaker being studied in this clinical trial is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients with moderate to severe heart failure, whose hearts pump blood inefficiently. In the MIRACLE EF study, patients who have heart failure with slightly less inefficient hearts will be observed to see if the electrical pacing treatment is better than not getting the treatment. This study is being conducted to support FDA approval of this type of pacemaker for people whose heart failure is less inefficient.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone to the combination of bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This study will also assess how safe the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone is compared to the combination of bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone.
The Parkitouch study compared the effects on pain, sleep quality and HealthRelated Quality of Life (HRQoL) among 44 participants with Parkinson´s Disease for at least two years and chronic pain.The two groups were randomized to either Tactile Touch and Rest to Music or only Rest to Music alone. It was prospective and had a duration of 34 weeks. The first 10 weeks was the intervention period , followed by a follow-up period. Outcome measures were salivary cortisol concentration measured at seven occasions of which two were immediately before, after and 30 minutes after intervention. Diurnal salivary cortisol was calculated based on four timepoints of sampling per 24 hour period.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether general anaesthesia or regional anaesthesia is best for patients undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the addition of idelalisib to bendamustine/rituximab on progression-free survival (PFS) in adults with previously treated indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL). An increased rate of deaths and serious adverse events (SAEs) among participants with front-line chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and early-line iNHL treated with idelalisib in combination with standard therapies was observed by the independent data monitoring committee (DMC) during regular review of 3 Gilead Phase 3 studies. Gilead reviewed the unblinded data and terminated this study in agreement with the DMC recommendation and in consultation with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in patients with Peripheral Artery Disease.
A descriptive study of the stroke rehabilitation content in specialized clinics in seven countries: procedures for admission to rehabilitation, services available and provided to patients, as well as duration of the stay and discharge routines. An observational study of changes in regard to the physical function, quality of life and psycho-social factors in stroke patients before and after specialized rehabilitation
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an educational intervention given towards health care providers working in primary health care centers can reduce inappropriate prescribing in the elderly patient and thus reduce number and length of drug-related hospitalizations as well as number of emergency department visits in this patient group.
The purpose of this 2-year study is to assess the sustained clinical efficacy and safety of 300 IR/day of a sublingual solution of birch pollen allergen extract starting 4 months prior to the birch pollen season and continuing over the birch pollen season compared with placebo for reduction of rhinoconjunctivitis-related symptoms and anti-allergy medication usage.
