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 primary intention of the study is to examine the effect of aged garlic extract (AGE) on the absolute change in coronary artery calcium (CAC). The second intention is to examine the effect of AGE on inflammatory biomarkers and microcirculation. It is a double blind placebo controlled study. The participants will ingest AGE during a period of one year. The CAC will be controlled by computer tomography (CT) scan; the inflammatory biomarkers through blood sample test and the microcirculation through laser speckel imagining and laser doppler before and after the one year period of AGE ingestion.
Compare efficacy of 56 mg/m2 carfilzomib administered once-weekly in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd 56 mg/m2) to 27 mg/m2 carfilzomib administered twice-weekly in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd 27 mg/m2) in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.
The overall aim of the project is to develop three internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapies for inappropriate anger expression to test the isolated and combined effects of two types of regulation strategies, emotional awareness and cognitive reappraisal. Treatments will be evaluated in a stratified single blind parallel randomized block design, along with a pooled interrupted time series design. Self-recruited adults with elevated levels of anger will be stratified based on baseline level of anger. The particular aims are to examine: 1. the overall and separate effects of emotional awareness training, cognitive reappraisal training, and emotional awareness and cognitive reappraisal training on anger and aggression; 2. whether treatment effects are differentially moderated by baseline levels of emotional awareness, cognitive reappraisal, anger expression-out, anger expression-out, anger control-in, and trait anger; 3. whether the treatment effects are mediated by changes in emotional awareness, cognitive reappraisal, and anger control-in.
Background: It is estimated that 14% of the Swedish population have knee osteoarthritis. Common osteoarthritis symptoms are pain, stiffness and impaired physical function. To evaluate muscle strength in the lower extremities could indicate if there is a risk for a patient with osteoarthritis to worsen their disease. Increased muscle strength could improve physical function and pain for this patient group. A reliable self-test to evaluate physical function could help patients with diagnosed or suspected knee osteoarthritis to seek healthcare in time. The 30 seconds chair stand test (30 CST) is part of a test battery which is recommended to use for patients with osteoarthritis, both in research and in a clinical setting. It is a valid and a reliable measurement for patients with osteoarthritis. However, reliability studies of the 30 CST as a self-test is lacking. Objective: To determine whether 30 CST is a reliable self-test to evaluate physical function among patients with knee osteoarthritis, we want to explore how much it differs in the test results when the patient is performing the test by herself and also compare it with when it is conducted in a clinical setting. Methods: 147 participants with knee osteoarthritis will be recruited from three rehabilitations centers in primary care. The participant will perform the self-test twice at home, and the self-test will be compared with when the test is guided by a physical therapist at a rehabilitation center. The reliability results will be presented with an intraclass correlation coefficient and standard error measurement. Estimated results: It is expected that the results from this study will clarify if 30 CST can be used as a self-test for persons with suspected or diagnosed/confirmed knee osteoarthritis. If this performance test show enough reliability to be used as a self-test, it could be used as an indicator if the patient should seek healthcare or not due to impaired function. To seek healthcare in an earlier phase usually require less efforts and often leads to shorter healthcare process. These improvements of the healthcare process could be of value to manage the expected future increase of osteoarthritis consultations to primary care.
This study evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of atogepant in participants with chronic migraine. This study included a 12-week treatment period.
Comorbidities, including sleep problems, are common in adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Treatment of choice for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-i), but evidence is lacking for CBT-i in patients with ADHD and sleep problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate if patients at a specialist clinic for ADHD benefit from a group delivered CBT-i treatment; whether insomnia severity improves following this treatment. This pragmatic within-group pilot study with a pre to post and three-month follow-up design was set at a specialist psychiatric out-patient clinic for adult ADHD. As an adjunct to care-as-usual at the clinic, a CBT-i-based group treatment targeting sleep problems prevalent in the ADHD-population, designed for patients with executive difficulties, was offered as 10 weekly 90-minute group sessions and scheduled telephone support. All outcome measures were subjectively reported by participants. Data analyzed with dependent t-tests according to intent-to-treat.
This study prospectively analyses and describes a cohort of non-elderly hip fracture patients at four orthopaedic departments in two Scandinavian countries regarding epidemiology, treatment, Patient Reported Outcome Measures, functional outcome as well as clinical results.
This study aims to assess the diagnostic feasibility and diagnostic performance of a new fast MR sequence EPIMix for neuroradiological evaluation in comparison to computed tomography of brain in pediatric population.
The primary aim of the study is to test the feasibility and efficacy of, a manual based, Internet-delivered, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for patients with Olfactory Reference Syndrome (ORS) who live in Sweden. The secondary aim is to investigate smell sensitivity and body odor in these ORS-patients.
This study is designed as a retrospective, multi-center study. The study population consist of subjects who received one or more OsseoSpeed EV implants during the period January 1st 2015 to December 31st 2016. Two hundred subjects will be enrolled, approximately 25-30 subjects per site. The study includes retrospective data collection from subjects' medical records and data collection from one prospective study visit with a clinical examination.
