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.
The aim of this single-center retrospective cohort study is to explore the effect of late adaptation of an ERAS protocol in a high-volume colorectal surgical unit. The primary endpoint is the surgical outcome measured by early postoperative complications, defined by the comprehensive complications index. Secondary endpoints include amongst others LOS (length of stay), cost analysis, short-term follow-up in the ERAS group.
The primary aim of this clinical study is to find signal characteristics of VOCs detected by Sokru device during fasting, insulin injection and after glucose intake and to find the association with blood glucose variation in variant states of glycemia and hypoglycemia.
This prospective randomized simulator-based single-blind trial aimed to investigate the effects of initial cues and history taking skills on diagnostic accuracy
Our study is the first to use genipin, a naturally occurring collagen cross-linking agent, as a therapeutic agent to treat superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) injuries in horses. The promising approach of intratendinous genipin injection and tendon mechanical enhancement could be a viable alternative to current therapies for SDFT injuries.
The goal of this clinical study is to test feasibility and effectiveness of a personalized, home-based motor-cognitive training program in community-dwelling older adults with prescription for rehabilitation. Participants will conduct a motor-cognitive intervention program which is based on exergames (=interactive video games controlled by body movements), added to usual care for 2 weeks in rehabilitation centers (face-to-face supervision) and for 10 weeks at home (remotely supervised). Researchers will compare an intervention group and a control group to compare possible effects of the home-based study intervention to the effect of usual care alone on cognition, physical functions, and balance confidence.
The goal of this cross-sectional study is to compare the motives for the desire to have children in different sexual-romantic orientation. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Do all orientations have the same motives for the desire to have children? - What are the preferred methods for having a child for the different orientations Participants will answer an online questionaire . Researchers will compare the different orientations to see if there are differences.
Soft contact lenses can affect the ocular surface and sometimes cause intolerance. The aim of this study is to measure corneal sensitivity using the Swiss Liquid Jet aesthesiometer at baseline, after one and after six weeks, in novice daily contact lens wearers.
A major issue brought about by the current pandemic concerns the discontinuation of a large proportion of outpatient services provided locally, especially in the rehabilitation field. Added to this situation is the ever-increasing demand for rehabilitation for post-COronaVIrus Disease 19 (COVID-19) patients. Data show that respiratory and motor rehabilitation for people infected with COVID-19 is necessary at all stages of the disease, even in the medium to long term after discharge from acute hospital care. Also to be taken into account are the logistical difficulties imposed by restrictions on the movement of individuals within the territory for both patients and caregivers, which are amplified in remote or poorly served areas, such as many cross-border territories. In this context, telerehabilitation can provide solutions to assist healthcare facilities in managing the demand for rehabilitation in the territory using a 'digital' therapist. The main objective of this project is therefore to identify the appropriate technology to administer the rehabilitation programme to patients and apply to a group of post-COVID-19 patients a customised respiratory and/or motor rehabilitation programme to be carried out directly at the patients' home after hospital discharge in order to evaluate its effects.
The present project involves research on humans with the aim to characterize the reduction of chronic, continuous, non-pulsatile and debilitating tinnitus in humans by comparing neurofeedback (fMRI or EEG) to the current gold standard behavioral cognitive therapy.
Perceptual evaluation of the parametrization and pre-calculation of frequency lowering requires the participation of subjects with hearing loss.
