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 randomized controlled trial aim to determine the impact on renal function after treatment for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with stentgrafts either with active supra- or infrarenal fixation.
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Acetabular Shells when used with the Vivacit-E and Longevity HXLPE liners and instrumentation in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.
Removal of meniscal tissue is described to result in poor knee function and a significant risk for future development of osteoarthritis. Different implants have been suggested to substitute a removed meniscus. Meniscal allograft transplantation is not widely available due to costs and availability. The semitendinosus tendon is a known graft with biological properties with potential to remodel and revascularize in an intraarticular environment such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The objective for this study was to investigate whether the semitendinosus tendon graft could function as a meniscal transplant.
The investigators have recently shown that pain associated with peripheral venous cannulation can be used to predict the risk of postoperative pain, where patients grading their pain associated with venous cannulation (VCP) above 2.0 VAS units had 3.4 times higher risk of moderate or severe postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 1.7 times higher risk in a mixed group of patients and surgeries. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pain sensitivity measurements using VCP can be used to choose anesthesia treatment protocol with the aim to lower acute postoperative pain in those with high risk. In patients with low risk we aim to lower the amount of opioids given.
The aim is to determine whether a diagnostic strategy including early coronary computed tomographic angiography in intermediate-risk patients presenting to the Emergency Department with chest pain reduces the composite endpoint of death, readmission because of myocardial infarction or unstable angina requiring revascularization.
Depressive Disorders constitute an increasing global health concern and available treatments for young people have not been sufficiently effective in haltering this trend. The novel group treatment program "Training for Awareness, Resilience, and Action" (TARA) was developed to target specific mechanisms based on neuroscientific findings in adolescent depression. TARA is framed within the National Institute of Mental Health's Research Domain Criteria and has documented feasibility and preliminary efficacy in adolescents with depression. In this study, young people (age: 15-22) with depression will be recruited from specialized Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Youth Clinics and randomized to receive either TARA or Standard Treatment (ST) until n=67 is reached in each arm. Outcome measures will be obtained before randomization (T0), 6 weeks after treatment start (T0.5), at 3- and 6 months follow-up (T1, T2). The primary outcome measure is Reynold's Adolescent Depression Scale (RADS-2) score at T1. Secondary outcome measures are RADS-2-score at T2, clinician depression rating with Children's Depression Rating Scale, Revised at T1,and self-rated anxiety with Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, 2nd ed. at T1 and T2. Other outcomes include heart rate variability and systemic bioindicators for depression from blood and hair. Data collected from subgroups within the study will include: brain magnetic resonance imaging and accelerometry. Qualitative interviews will be performed to reach a more comprehensive understanding of the subjective experience of being depressed and to what extent treatment adequately addresses this experience. A 2-year follow-up (T3) will be performed and presented separately. The study will be the first Randomized Controlled Trial to examine the clinical effectiveness of TARA compared to ST for young people with depression. The investigators hypothesize that (1) TARA will result in greater reduction of depression symptoms compared to ST and that group differences will be maintained or increased at T2, (2) the treatment effect of TARA will be mediated by improved emotion regulation, sleep, and psychological flexibility, (3) bioindicators for depression will improve more in the TARA-arm compared to the ST-arm, (4) it will be possible/meaningful to explore the contextual factors perceived to drive the depression onset and maintenance, and the extent to which the different treatments address these factors.
This is a randomized study of ASSIP as a treatment for patients who have recently made a suicide attempt. Six psychiatric clinics from four regions in Sweden are included. Together 460 patients will be recruited. Patients will be randomized to ASSIP as a supplement to treatment as usual or to treatment as usual only. The overall aim of the study is to evaluate whether ASSIP, a short-term clinical intervention, can prevent future suicidal behavior in people who have attempted suicide better than just conventional treatment. The project also investigates whether there are any specific factors that may be related to ASSIP's potential effectiveness and whether ASSIP has health economic benefits. Only patients who give their written consent will be included in the study. Those who meet the inclusion and no exclusion criteria at screening / visit 1 undergo an assessment according to an interview protocol, self-assessment form, and self-assessment scales. Thereafter, the patient is randomized via an electronic system to either ASSIP plus standard treatment or only standard treatment. All patients, regardless of which treatment they are randomized to, will be followed up for two years with a telephone interview and self-assessment scales month 3, 12 and 24. Data from medical records and registers will also be collected.
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Avenir Complete femoral stem and its instrumentation when used in primary total, hemi, and revision hip arthroplasty.
To evaluate a nine-week adaptable and person-centred I-CBT program that can be directed towards stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms in persons with CVD.
The ProFET study aims to investigate if luteal phase support by vaginal progesterone, is superior to no luteal phase support, in terms of live birth rate per woman after a frozen embryo transfer (FET), in a natural cycle (NC) after in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and if 7 weeks of treatment is superior to 3 weeks duration.
