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 main purpose of the project is to validate patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in reconstructive breast surgery. BREAST-Q will be evaluated for Swedish and Sweden.Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), EuroQol 5D (EQ5D), and SF-36 will be validated for reconstructive breast surgery. In addition, the complication classification system according to Clavien-Dindo will be validated for reconstructive breast surgery.
The risk of cervical cancer after diagnosis with atypical glandular cells (AGC) detected by screening is elevated for 15 years after discovery. The current recommendation is that when AGC is detected during screening, referel is made to a gynecologist for colposcopy with biopsy within 3 months after the index test. Repeated tests should be done after one year and after two years and if these are negative, the woman can return to routine screening. Given the increased risk of cancer associated with AGC a new evaluation of the optimal follow-up and treatment of AGC, which is detected during screening, is carried out. In this randomized study, women with AGC will be randomized to routine treatment according to current guidelines or to conization. The aim of the study is to determine which of the two treatments is most effective.
This study will test the safety of a drug called SGN-ALPV in participants with solid tumors. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating your disease. Participants will have solid tumor cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). This study will have three parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much SGN-ALPV should be given to participants. Part C will use the dose and schedule found in Parts A and B to find out how safe SGN-ALPV is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.
The aim of the trial is to determine whether organized screening with primary HPV analysis provide higher cancer protection in the age group 23-29 years compared to primary cytology.
GraviD is a multi-ethnic population-based pregnancy cohort. Pregnant women were invited to participate in the GraviD study when registering for antenatal care in parts of the region of Västra Götaland in Sweden in 2013-2014. All women registering for antenatal care were eligible for inclusion, as long as the pregnancy had not exceeded 16 gestational weeks. In total, 2125 pregnant women were recruited in gestational week 12 during two time-periods; fall 2013 and spring 2014. Blood sampling was performed in gestational week <17 and again at gestational week >31 by midwifes. After delivery, the maternity records were obtained, to collect information on child's gender, birth weight and length and other possible birth outcomes.
In the present feasibility and pilot study we aim to investigate the effect and safety of patient education with or without additional physical training or mindfulness/medical yoga in patients with manifest spinal osteoporosis (at least one vertebral fracture). The study includes a 10-week intervention period with once weekly theory education with or without additional physical training or mindfulness/medical yoga (randomized groups). Furthermore, a proceeding observation period of 10 weeks as well as a 1-year follow up post-intervention observation are included in the study design.
Hypoxia and reduced oxygen partial pressure is commonly occurring after abdominal surgery. This study aims to investigate whether similar changes also occur after orthopedic surgery in the form of upper limb surgery. Inclusion: 60 patients undergoing orthopedic surgery in the form o knee-, hip-, shoulder- or elbow surgery. Exclusion: Dementia or cognitive impairment that makes it impossible to participate in studies. Arterial blood gas and lung function are undertaken before surgery, the day after surgery and at follow-up.
In swimming induced pulmonary edema (SIPE), there is a lack of knowledge regarding optimal treatment. The present study was designed to assess the benefit of treatment with positive expiratory pressure device (PEP-device) compared to spontaneous recovery in patients with SIPE without hypoxia in the out-of-hospital environment.
Exercise and education is recommended as the first-line treatment by evidence-based, international guidelines for low back pain (LBP). Despite consensus regarding treatment, there is a gap between guidelines and what is offered to patients and less than half of the patients with nonspecific low back pain receive proper first-line care. The aim of this study was to examine the short-term effect in pain and function in people with nonspecific LBP, participating in the digitally delivered treatment program Joint Academy.
"Matkassen - effekten av tre månaders intensiv kostintervention hos barn med fetma/ Family Meals on Prescription.- a randomized controlled trial : The aim of the study was to explore a novel approach for the treatment of obesity in children and adolescents through an intensive dietary intervention, consisting of receiving a weekly bag of groceries and recipes for five family meals at a reduced price for three months. Data concerning dietary patterns and food habits, weight, BMI and blood markers for metabolic and cardiovascular disease was collected before the study began and again at the end of the study during the patients' one year follow up appointment at the clinics.
