There are about 9403 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Switzerland. 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.
We investigate the effectiveness of a combined repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) - video game-based training (VBT) dexterity intervention in Parkinson's diseases. The short and long-term benefits of this training program will be evaluated. For these purposes, a blinded sham controlled randomized controlled trial will be performed.
Modes of transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and specifically the proportion of airborne transmission in this infection is unknown. In the aeroCOVID study, a highly efficient bioaerosol and droplet sampling dummy is used to emulate a susceptible healthcare worker (HCW) and to perform patient proximity sampling. The dummy will measure the dummy-inhaled dose of SARS-CoV-2 in two particle size fractions in a standardized interaction with hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. All measurements are performed in a masked and unmasked dummy setup in parallel, in order to gain further information on the protection of type II masks against the respective particle size exposure.
To study hemodynamic effects of acute normobaric hypoxia during exercise in patients with pulmonary hypertension in a single-center randomized controlled trial.
To study the effect of acute normobaric hypoxia during exercise in patients with pulmonary hypertension with/without Sildenafil
The aim of this study is to understand the strategies for adapting postural control in patients who have received chemotherapy treatment for gynaecological cancer.
The study RADAR aims at developing a wearable based dysglycemia detection and warning system for patients with diabetes mellitus using artificial intelligence.
This placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover study is to evaluate the GLP-1 analogue dulaglutide regarding changes in sexuality, the mood and the reproductive axis in healthy men.
A Clavicular fractures (CF) is uncomfortable for the affected patients because the fragments are often strongly displaced by the muscles attached to them and the bony fragments move painfully with every movement of the shoulder. In emergency departments (ED), so far CF has been tackled with drugs that are taken by mouth or injected into a vein. This type of pain management has many side effects since these painkillers act systemically. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of pain relief in CF to be operated using regional anaesthesia. For this purpose, the supraclavicular nerves (SCN), which run directly under the skin of the neck, will be located using an ultrasound device (US). Under US-guidance the injection needle approaches the SCN and 2-3 millilitres of local aesthetic (LA) are injected around the nerves. The pain relief may last 12 up to 24 hours, which bridges the time until the operation (OP). In order to compare this procedure, CF-patients will be divided into two groups, of which the control group (21) will be treated with painkillers in the conventional manner and the intervention group (21) will receive the US-guided block of the SCN. With the small amount of LA injected, adverse events (AE) are very rare. Nevertheless, the puncture in the side of the neck may cause bruises at the site of the injection or uncomfortable, spreading pain. Systemic side effects are unlikely. In the intervention group, the investigators expect a nearly complete pain relief up to the operation than with conventional pain therapy and a lower rate of side effects than with systemic administration of painkillers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment for active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in adult participants.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different brolucizumab 6 mg dosing regimens in patients with visual impairment due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who have previously received anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) treatment.
